You say that but a mature hardwood tree can be worth $10k or more

[-] TheSlad@sh.itjust.works 14 points 10 months ago

A mature hardwood cost me 10k last year when it dropped a bough on my house during a winter storm.

Dont get me wrong, I love the shade and nature it brings to my property, but this tree literally is a liability to me.

Actually I can relate to this, I've had three trees fall on my 1/3 acre property in the last two years. Luckily has only cost me $2k 😐

Fun fact: it is actually morally ethical to burn down billboards! One of those fun spots where the law conflicts with objective morality

[-] SARGEx117@lemmy.world 25 points 10 months ago

I'm not saying I would burn these down at every opportunity, but I am saying I would certainly understand exactly why someone might, and probably wouldn't remember much about who did do it.

Of course, I would plant 27 trees all over the property, and keep planting until the world runs out of trees, or someone gets fed up with pulling them out.

I'm patient and petty.

[-] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 15 points 10 months ago

Of course, I'm too much of a coward to actually break the law and burn down any billboards, but all I'll say if I ever see someone else do it is "based"

NGL seed bombs are pretty cool

Just be sure to get native wildflower seeds

We don't need invasive species running amok

Just for ugly ass billboard that are harder to see than if they were put in front of the tree

[-] Neato@kbin.social 29 points 10 months ago

Fuck. That tree was amazing. It was decades old. That makes me quite sad.

[-] Aganim@lemmy.world 22 points 10 months ago

Ironically the kid looks like he is saying his last tearful goodbyes to a tree that is about to be cut down to make room for a bunch of billboards..

[-] zib@kbin.social 20 points 10 months ago

This makes me irrationally angry.

[-] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 27 points 10 months ago

It's not irrational to be angry about this.

[-] Sabre363@sh.itjust.works 20 points 10 months ago

I think you mean rationally angry

[-] CrispyPeach@beehaw.org 7 points 10 months ago

Doesn't seem that irrational imo

[-] Toes@ani.social 4 points 10 months ago

Me too

[-] LesDeuxBonsYeux@sh.itjust.works 19 points 10 months ago

Outdoor signs ? You mean visual harassment ?

[-] GamesRevolution@programming.dev 14 points 10 months ago

Cheaper then hiring a kid to hug the tree full-time I guess

[-] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 2 points 10 months ago

Hell of a summer job, though 😄

And don't it always seem to go that you don't know what you've got till it's gone?

[-] nucleative@lemmy.world 9 points 10 months ago

Pave paradise, put up a parking lot.

[-] catlover@sh.itjust.works 8 points 10 months ago

large trees can be dangerous, but yeah could have at least planted some more around it
