This is way too interesting.

[–]SwiftJudgement 16 points17 points ago

Yep, I just downvoted the shit out of this thing. I need more things that are slightly out of place.

[–]stoicme 4 points5 points ago

yeah, normally I hate to be all "that shit is too interesting for this sub!"

but this is actually really interesting/awesome, and thus, doesn't belong here :-(

[–]themystif 1 point2 points ago

I would agree with you, til that last shot. It clearly wasn't that hard to make, if tedious.

[–]SirCannonFodder 0 points1 point ago

I thought this was in /r/pics, that's how interesting it is.

[–]tloftxj 23 points24 points ago

Far too interesting for this sub.

[–]theflintseeker 8 points9 points ago

Zip Tieger

[–]PoorPolonius 0 points1 point ago

Probably exactly what the creator was thinking!

[–]yohyeah 14 points15 points ago

Not mild enough.

[–]Willbo 7 points8 points ago

Saddens me that so much time was put into this awesome statue yet it just sits outside and will eventually wither in the sun :(

[–]Sokonomi 5 points6 points ago

Theres a metal frame underneath. Slightly less interesting now.

[–]Phallic 4 points5 points ago

If posts like this keep getting upvotes then this subreddit is dead, and the serious users will have to migrate to /r/infinitesimallyinteresting or /r/barelyinteresting or something like that.

[–]tloftxj 1 point2 points ago

[–]post_this_elsewhere 1 point2 points ago

get this over to /r/somethingimade

[–]deepfryerdan 0 points1 point ago

did OP make it?

[–]PoorPolonius 0 points1 point ago

Looks like it was left on the side of the road for pickup.

[–]post_this_elsewhere -1 points0 points ago

true /r/awesome then.

[–]deepfryerdan 4 points5 points ago

They're called zip ties or cable ties, not zip cords.

[–]neogetz 2 points3 points ago

this confused me, zips zip up your trousers while cable ties tie your cables in the uk.

[–]SwiftJudgement -1 points0 points ago

They are cable ties in the U.S. as well. Aussies?

[–]ferrets_bueller 4 points5 points ago

They're called Zip Ties or Wire Ties around here in the US.

[–]PoorPolonius 0 points1 point ago

Zip ties in Canada.

[–]Ominous_Oreo 0 points1 point ago

Not an Aussie here.. But in Denmark, they are simply called "plastic strips".

[–]Omnipathy 1 point2 points ago

pretty sure us aussies call them cable ties.

[–]tatty000 0 points1 point ago

Another Aussie. They're called cable ties.

[–]Roguerage 0 points1 point ago

On the plus side, since exchanging names for zip ties in other countries is less-than-mildly-interesting... post evened out?

[–]Adake 0 points1 point ago

I call them cat stranglers.

I'm scared.

[–]RalarenOTC 0 points1 point ago

Where is that 'aint nobody got time for that' gif when you need it? God damn.

[–]RogueMinutes 1 point2 points ago

Those things must be pointy. Use a saddle.

[–]ChromeDeagle 0 points1 point ago

I need this for my garden. Amazing, but I think it's too amazing for this sub! (Upvote anyway or I wouldn't have seen it at all).

[–]PoorPolonius 1 point2 points ago

Did you pick it up? Please tell me you took it.

[–]DJffeJ 0 points1 point ago

This thing should be in an art gallery...

[–]yoshortyb 0 points1 point ago

I want dis.

[–]Reason-and-rhyme 0 points1 point ago

The atmosphere in which content is presented on this sub kind of dulls my reactions. "Oh," I'll say, "That's pretty neat." But I think if I saw this in real life I would be freaking out over how cool it is.

[–]poznasty 1 point2 points ago

"A can of coke fits in a bottle of Jif Peanut Butter" = MILDY INTERESTING.... "Tiger made of zip cords" = FUCKING EXTREMELY INTERESTING.... come on mannnnnnn!

[–]DeluxePineapple 0 points1 point ago

At first I was like "Woow! This is awesome!" but then I noticed the subreddit and was perturbed that I had been made to be so interested.

[–]ilikeyourjammies 0 points1 point ago

This is actually incredibly interesting.. Tool.

[–]Jdirt 0 points1 point ago

This is very mildly interesting.
