[–]CaptainNoBoat 61 points62 points ago

Yeah, well you are just being a forearm-shaped tree.

I'm not very good at this.

[–]atalkingfish 29 points30 points ago

[–]SuddenXxdeathxx 1 point2 points ago

God damnit I'm retarded, I actually went back to check if it was really a palm tree.

[–]DMC_Hotness 41 points42 points ago

It has a question.

[–]HE_WHO_STANDS_TO_POO 20 points21 points ago

"If a tree falls down in the forest and no one's around to hear it, then who was tree?"

[–]whatsreallygoingon 10 points11 points ago

"Will a one-handed tree clapping in the forest make a sound?"

[–]brussels4breakfast 1 point2 points ago

Hand.

If that happened, I'd buy the album.

We might still live I hear they are allergic to a thing called fire.

[–]bandit69 13 points14 points ago

Ah yes, the old "kill it with fire" routine. :)

[–]ashyjakk 13 points14 points ago

[–]MrSMACKintheface 4 points5 points ago

Yes. But we can move by ourselves.

[–]ashyjakk 1 point2 points ago

Stop drop and burn

[–]garlicdeath 1 point2 points ago

But if they're growing hands what if their roots evolve into legs? It's going be the Two Towers all over this place.

[–]Dulljack 1 point2 points ago

[–]baltakatei 6 points7 points ago

You should read Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou. It's a very calm and pleasant slice-of-life manga set in a future Japan where humans are dying out peacefully.

As humans disappear, some plants/fungi start to grow into forms that mimic humans and formerly ubiquitous human structures (light posts, cube-shaped buildings.)

The manga went on for 13 or so years before ending two years ago, or so. It follows the life of a female android who runs a café in the middle of nowhere, serving whoever happens to stumble into the area.

[–]ADangerousMan 2 points3 points ago

sounds pretty bizarre. In a good way, of course.

[–]cydril 1 point2 points ago

That is absolutely my favorite manga. I cant re-read it too often though because it makes me sad...

[–]i-lumos 0 points1 point ago

[–]Naxxremel 7 points8 points ago

Made me think of Cabin in the Woods.

[–]nateandlever 16 points17 points ago

Someone's obviously pretty handy with their wood carving tools.

[–]theoneandonlypeter 5 points6 points ago

Not sure if pun or genuine comment...

[–]PosiedonsSaltyAnus 7 points8 points ago

Wait wait wait. That was carved and not photoshopped????

[–]reniagj 13 points14 points ago

[–]lydocia 2 points3 points ago

It's an Ent. Somebody call Gandalf.

[–]roofiebaron 2 points3 points ago

Hit B, quick!

[–]Afrocat 2 points3 points ago

It was the tallest tree in the UK but it had to be cut down after storm damage, so they made what was left of it into a carving.

Thank you! Yet another thread where it takes five minutes of scrolling through jokes to find the actual information about the post that I want. At least most of em were funny...

[–]Eddyill 4 points5 points ago

That's clearly intelligent design in action.

[–]VelocityVandetta 3 points4 points ago

I need to know when they will grow vaginas and will there be a splinter problem?

[–]SociableIntrovert 2 points3 points ago

It depends. Are your hands made out of wood?

[–]RamblinWreckGT 4 points5 points ago

I think it's his wood he's worried about, actually.

[–]_Rufio 5 points6 points ago

peeta?

[–]IPThereforeIAm 1 point2 points ago

A right hand and wood 24/7? Sounds problematic.

[–]epic_narwhal64 0 points1 point ago

What if it's a lefty?

[–]MisakAttack 1 point2 points ago

They've learned how to open doors...

[–]hnoj 1 point2 points ago

[–]Diablo3BoyDaBoss 1 point2 points ago

all puns aside, that looks like an incredibly good arm and hand sculpture, based upon my meager experience

[–]Coregamer4 2 points3 points ago

Thats not a tree. that's Peeta! (Lamest reference ever)

[–]badumpsh -1 points0 points ago

You people laugh now, but don't come crying to me once I'm in my inhospitable desert fortress after the trees have evolved enough to enslave most of the human race

[–]Fredigundo -2 points-1 points ago

Checkmate christians, this proves evolution!

Bruce Lee used a urinal like a civilized human being then kicked Chuck's ass. Then Bruce helped Chuck back up and asked him nicely to refrain from such activity in the future. Chuck Norris prayed to Jesus out of spite, Jesus forwarded the call to Satan who killed Bruce and perpetuated this shitty tough guy meme for internet betas.

[–]dezdennis -1 points0 points ago

imagine jerking it it needs lots of wood finish....... get that sap

[–]Vanderloulou -1 points0 points ago

it looks like it requires a high five

"There is unrest in the forest, There is trouble with the trees, For the maples want more sunlight And the oaks ignore their pleas." :-)

[–]protendious -1 points0 points ago

If this was carved it should be in r/impressive instead. (if such a thing exists). It's an interesting piece of art with a nice twist of palm tree funny.

[–]Ao_Andon -1 points0 points ago

carved down tree?

Human arm, with tree textured paint-job?

Photoshop gone wild?

[–]BackInOmNomNam -1 points0 points ago

Wow. This is weird. Did a picture just like this for a Photography 1 class. Except I used leg.

I wanna bike through a forest of these and receive high fives everywhere I go.

Who am I kidding, I can't even ride a bike. :(

[–]zootphen 0 points1 point ago

Learn bro, WE BELIEVE IN YOUUU.

[–]SynthPrax -1 points0 points ago

Whatever that is, it must be stopped. With fire.

[–]WiteLite -1 points0 points ago

Bit of a question, fire has always been a major killer of trees, why haven't they evolved to resist it? Trees have had plenty eons to adapt.

[–]CptOfTheGravyTrain -1 points0 points ago

Is it safe to comment here? Just witnessed a down vote holocaust and I....I just need a safe place right now...

[–]astrograph -1 points0 points ago

NOPE

[–]Gawdzillers -2 points-1 points ago

"LIKE this if you BELIEVE in GOD"

[–]goofygoobarock 0 points1 point ago

How is that relevant at all?

[–]Gawdzillers 0 points1 point ago

Because people on Facebook always try to put some message of how great God is on a clearly Photoshopped image.

[–]goofygoobarock 0 points1 point ago

So? Keep the atheism circlejerk in /r/atheism.

[–]tlums -2 points-1 points ago

It was carved by rednecks to symbolize their intolerance toward high fives.

[–]beachjustice -2 points-1 points ago

This made my arm and hand feel really weird..

[–]betarded -2 points-1 points ago

Why is it OK to do this for art, but not for actual useful things, like paper and furniture?
