This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It's not AI and it's not fake. (Well it's a fake tree, but the image is real.) It's a regular cell phone tower intentionally decorated like a tree to make it "blend in" because some cities require that. TIL That these aren't as common as I thought lol Here in my state we have both pine/redwood (like this) and palm tree types.

There's one nearby where I used to live that was disguised like this but for a different reason. They bought the rights to build the tower from a church only under the condition that it was disguised like this.
