Here is the original submission

[–]ArchSchnitz 7 points8 points ago

Posted yesterday, for fuck's sake. I was never angry about a repost before this. Thank you for posting that link, an upvote for you.

[–]acman319 2 points3 points ago

Same for me. Not only is this blatant karma-whoring, it's not even giving credit to the original artist's post from ITAP.

[–]ReactthePanda 2 points3 points ago

I only posted it because it was an OC picture from /r/itookapicture. They deserve credit more than r/trees does.

[–]ArchSchnitz 1 point2 points ago

The fact that the first post was original content is what actually got me riled, yes.

[–]antiproton -1 points0 points ago

Posted yesterday to a subreddit no one is in. Enhance your calm.

[–]ArchSchnitz 0 points1 point ago

Posted by the creator of the content. That's the annoying part.

[–]SavingMyWit 0 points1 point ago

Yes, and the word "being" in the title is completely redundant and looks mong.

[–]SEGnosis 159 points160 points ago

r/pics to r/tress to r/pics

The circle jerk is complete.

[–]Namaha 29 points30 points ago

The original was actually on /r/ITookAPicture

[–]BennyJames 5 points6 points ago

/r/itookapicture to /r/pics to /r/trees back to /r/pics

[–]micmea1 3 points4 points ago

this is why more pictures should be linked back to the creator of the content, rather than just a straight link to the image.

He's got the whoooole world
in his hands

[–]ILIEKDEERS -1 points0 points ago

Her* hands, the person is the photographer's daughter.

[–]chaynes 82 points83 points ago

Why the hell did someone post this to r/trees?

[–]RykezOne 49 points50 points ago

he was "stunned [6]"

[–]Dr_Twatson 30 points31 points ago

/r/trees isn't about just pot. It's where potheads can go and talk about pothead things and look at pothead pictures n shit.

[–]SirBufordBlowhard 12 points13 points ago

Right. Just like people put gifs on r/pics sometimes, or non-handicapped people park in handicapped spots.

[–]escalat0r 15 points16 points ago

These are the worst kind of people.

I mean the ones that posts .gifs to r/pics.

[–]brussels4breakfast -2 points-1 points ago

I do that.

[–]brussels4breakfast 2 points3 points ago

Oh. So this is a pothead pic.

[–]horrorshowmalchick 4 points5 points ago

But this isn't a "pothead thing" or a "pothead picture"..

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

If you're high and you look at a picture, it automatically becomes a "pothead picture".

Or, if you consider yourself an "Ent" and look at a picture, it automatically becomes a "pothead picture".

[–]brussels4breakfast 4 points5 points ago

Or....if you were once a pothead and still appreciate cool pics.

[–]brussels4breakfast 0 points1 point ago

It could be if you let it.

[–]LogicaRex 0 points1 point ago

Thank you, Doctor.

[–]sworeiwouldntjoin 0 points1 point ago

Should really go without saying.

[–]Bainemo 19 points20 points ago

Because you can take literally any picture and caption it "this is so trippy when you're high" and everyone there will agree

[–]chaynes 14 points15 points ago

Bro this interesting thing is interesting [8].

[–]brussels4breakfast 1 point2 points ago

I don't know but it's a cool pic.

[–]patchsonic -1 points0 points ago

He meant to post it in r/pics, but accidentally went routine-style on reddit, and wound up back in r/trees....haha pot.

[–]damaximum 0 points1 point ago

I asked myself the same thing

[–]one00percents 45 points46 points ago

I see your marble and raise you a water droplet.

[–]overused-meme-alert 41 points42 points ago

I see your marble and raise you

W E E E O O W E E E O O W E E E O O W E E E O O

[–]non_sequitur_MKE 10 points11 points ago

I love you.

[–]brussels4breakfast 2 points3 points ago

This is really neat but it looks shopped.

[–]CubemonkeyNYC 4 points5 points ago

It had over 1000 upvotes in ITAP (the source) AND trees. You're milking this for all it's worth.

[–]kn9m 4 points5 points ago

Maybe the world is flat

[–]Kieroshark 2 points3 points ago

What projection does the map have to be to get that effect?

[–]MrIste 2 points3 points ago

Looks like a regular Mercator map.

[–]jackd90 1 point2 points ago

upside-down

[–]LukeInDenver 1 point2 points ago

I see America there...What are those other land masses?

[–]ashep24 2 points3 points ago

I like this one better: http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/nyo9q/just_a_drop_of_water_in_front_of_a_map/

[–]evand4567 1 point2 points ago

I was browsing through /r/ pics today and noticed this picture. I immediatley thought of this post. Ctrl+f

your work has not gone unnoticed sir. Have an upvote!

[–]laughenfoster 2 points3 points ago

Men in Black was right!

[–]patrizio33 1 point2 points ago

Just like in MIB

[–]klousGT 4 points5 points ago

dude it has jpeg jizz all over it.. Is there a high-res version?

[–]ElvinFrish 0 points1 point ago

that's the coolest fucking thing i've ever fucking seen

[–]lamblunt 1 point2 points ago

You're in control now

[–]Redvelvet_cupcake 0 points1 point ago

This is awesome :D

[–]Epsilon123 1 point2 points ago

I saw this on the front page yesterday, at first I thought, that's a repost! Then I remember, Reddit never deals with this shit anyways.

[–]BETiGOTSUMWEED 0 points1 point ago

I'm sick of these marbles all in my trees

[–]Metal_Lyrics -1 points0 points ago

This has been on the front page for, like, two weeks.

[–]infrared_blackbody 0 points1 point ago

And the map is upside down, since the marble acts like a lens. Map has to be upside down in the background for the "globe" to appear right side up.

[–]thatpotpie 0 points1 point ago

how far away from the map was the marble?

[–]knight4646 0 points1 point ago

Simpsons did it

TREEEEES!

DAE smoke weed?

[–]lifelite 0 points1 point ago

Wasn't the very original a drop of water? Well if not the VERY original it is one of the top posts of all time I believe

[–]infinityexpands 0 points1 point ago

I've seen some similar photography, using tiny water droplets instead of a marble. Here are my personal favorites: eye / goldfish / flower stamen

photographer is Brian Valentine.

marbles was possibly the best game in elementary school

[–]LogicaRex 0 points1 point ago

No.

[–]BigPoppaE 0 points1 point ago

Anyone else thinking of the original Men In Black?

[–]PublicAccessNYC 0 points1 point ago

Too much hdr.

[–]fairwayks 0 points1 point ago

Twenty-three seconds of this is more than enough. (Actually, 5 or 6 is.)

[–]jessebc 0 points1 point ago

Damn stoners.

[–]imaginative_username 0 points1 point ago

What type of projection should be used to have an accurate representation of earth in the marble?

[–]TheLastPureOne 1 point2 points ago

I wonder what happens when someone puts a marble up to Earth...from the moon.

[–]deancomeautela 0 points1 point ago

This looks a LOT like the water drop in front of a map thing high up in the all time top posts.

[–]torontoted 0 points1 point ago

Maybe the world is flat after all.

You somehow make it sound less magical with the title.

[–]p0x0rz -3 points-2 points ago

Does anyone else find it kind of hilarious that this was posted to r/trees FIRST? "Whoaaaa maaan...It's like...It's like...The whole woorld is in your hands...It's in all our hands maaaaan....Whoaooooaaaa"
