trees

Trees seem incapable of caring where they are or what they're doing. And we respect them for that. They could be on a cliff, in a pole, or be a hungry tree enveloping stuff and they wouldn't even give a rip. Not only do trees not care, sometimes people don't give a heck, and the results are wild.

Trees just keep on growing, man. Sometimes they end up growing around other objects placed in their vicinity. This can result in it looking like trees are a bunch of hungry fellas, just trying to enjoy a meal. Fun stuff. 

This bizarre Tumblr thread explains some of the strange stuff trees do that we don't. It's vaguely unsettling, and it's also beautiful. That last part about the grafters putting fruiting branches on non-fruiting trees was a trip. 

When it comes to man made stuff versus trees, it's easy for us to win the battle, but over time, vegetation wins the war. In only a few years trees overgrow the stuff we shove into them and cover them with, and it looks remarkably like they're straight up eating it. It's common to see hungry trees enveloping stuff.

Trees and plants have the incredible ability to keep trying even when the odds are stacked against them. It's really all they can do. Take these unstoppable plants who won't take no for an answer. Here are some trees that munched on the stuff around them, which turned out to be a whole lot of bikes and abandoned weapons.

There's a community on Reddit dedicated to the appreciation of stapling pieces of bread on trees. If this isn't peak internet, I don't know what is. Never know when you might be out exploring nature, when your appetite spikes, and you need a little bite of some bread. Off a tree. 

Sure they can't think and have no concept of determination, but damn these green bastards are hard to kill.

Feel like you could be a doctor after watching a few seasons of Grey's Anatomy? Think again.

Some days a cup breaks, some days a dam breaks.
