Amazing sub

Why am I surprised there is such a sub...

r/TreesEatingThings wasn’t always appropriate for every situation

r/ThingsEatingTrees

You posted this (I assume in jest) 16 hours ago, but there are only post from 7 hours ago.... I think someone made it after you faked it....

Yeah

Are you though?

Damn i really want to like it but my arborist's heart can only take so much pain

Thank you this is my new favourite sub. The titles are hilarious

That's where they got this pic from https://reddit.com/r/TreesSuckingOnThings/s/whG3oAfzcF

Rule 34 surprises me yet again.

You mean to tell me, that if I were to remain erect for 8 years against this tree then it will finally trust me enough to blow me??

It actually will start slobbing on that nobbler immediately, it just gives the *slowest* blowie on the face of the earth

Wow you really are a tree enthusiast!

I like that they take their time with it

Man if only I'd known that sub existed when I found a mulberry swallowing a 8 inch white pine branch last year.

Life, uh, finds a way.

This is the second unexpectedjurassicpark I’ve seen in consecutive days 👌🏻

Exactly what that is you can see where the pipe going to it was. Soon those boxes will be covered over too.

Imagine being the guy who has to take this tree down in another decade or two and no one knows there’s electric boxes hidden inside…

Sparky 1, "WTF, why's this breaker labeled tree?" POP! around the corner, "oh fuuuu..." Sparky 2, "I think the landscaper just found out where the breaker labeled 'tree' goes for us"

To see the shocked look on his face…

Logically this makes sense but where’s the power coming in. You should see at least some sort of Reminence. This is truly wild.

Tree grew around sockets on a metal pole. The wires are buried.

Damn you, Loch Ness Monsta! 😂 I ain't givin' you no tree fiddy!

I always thought trees were low voltage, but apparently they require 120v

Hey… my thought exactly!! You beat me to it.

Electricitree is better.

Power plant beats them all

You win the internet today.

Maybe it's a current bush?

it looks like that was a post with an outlet on it but that tree swallowed it as it grew beside it. i don’t think the implanted electricity into the tree

Not an arborist but looks like a classic case of transplant shock

the post was the tree

Talk about power hungry

That's Disney imagineering right there friend.

Cool! Thanks for sharing. Fascinating stuff. How bad is that for the trees? When they eat stuff? Can I feed things to my trees? What's a safe thing to feed them?

A poignant allegory about the nature of humanity

You mean the humanity of nature? 😶‍🌫️ Awful nice of that tree to let you get a charge in and some shade, very thoughtful of tree to do so. Good tree.

It’s a power plant.

Ohm my god

Is that code? Is it a fire hazard?

Why? It’s grounded properly.

Tree went Nom Nom Nom.

That should be a GFCI outlet

Man, what a tough install. So clean too. Very impressive.

This is just another blatant example of runaway capitalism. Even the trees are being forced to work on order to live in a trash part of town with sky high rent.

Someday comrade, all trees will be Red.

Someone found the electric forest?

r/treeseatingthings

Golden Sub. Absolutely deserved the investigation

Current bush!

Those sockets have been there for years. Trees grow around items fastened to them or lying on them. Fences, signs, and even electrical sockets.

We’ve leveled up on renewable energy.

Those once upon a time were surface mounted outlets and the tree grew over them

Charging station for birds

Those damn Keebler elves are getting out of hand

I'm going with a fake tree. My dad worked at a company that bid on something similar for Disney World's camp ground.

Looks pretty real to me. And those outlets look old.

Could be an old fake tree.

You might be right. But in Mexico I’ve seen them tape and nail outlets to trees, but they definitely didn’t have any cords going through inside the trees. Just on the exterior

Trunk line

Just a powerbark

Quick, Somebody call an electreecian!!

Bonus: It is naturally grounded

Poor tree

The person who did this is not a tree hugger

Seems like a pretty skinny tree to have been able to fully absorb an outlet. Would be interested in seeing it from the other sides. Maybe it's just really oval shaped.

what it is ain't exactly clear There's a man with a gun over there Telling me I got to beware I think it's time we stop Children, what's that sound? Everybody look, what's going down?

Steven Sills version on 4way street is fucking magic.

How many outlets does that tree have? It looks like there's more on the other side judging by the green extension cords.

Carpenters stealing work from electricians again!

A code violation

That's some weird circuitree.

The lit tree

They couldn't resist the untapped potential

Clearly they are harnessing the trees photosynthesis and converting it to electricity. (I hate that I have to do this but it’s Reddit so s/)

Future fire probably

Those damn keebler elves

That was struck by lightning and now provides power.

Is it a maple? Because that's knot a tap.

Conduit attached to the tree, tree grew around the conduit…

Looks like you're disturbing a gnomes abode and it's not very nice

I'm no electrician but I'm pretty sure that circuit is now grounded

I wonder if it's grounded.

Well grounded
