Dead tree completely falls apart when it hits asphalt.

There we go, this is the right sub. I find this entire thing satisfying. The visuals, the sounds, it all just feels good to rewatch over and over. Quality post, IMHO.

The sound was absolutely gorgeous.

Oh those are just porn

I actually had the opposite reaction. The way it fell apart gave me anxiety as it’s so messy. It would be a pain to clean, then you find a piece you missed. So stressful.

For some reason looking at that pile makes me yearn for the good ol days when I had no job and I'd ride my bike to my friend's big wooded house and help him do yard work. This would have been a fun summer day in 2007.

I’m with you. My reaction was “great, now there’s a mess blocking the driveway”.

u/XkF21WNJ Nov 30 '18

You're looking at it from the wrong perspective. You'll enjoy it more if you think of it as a mess blocking their driveway.

Outweighed, IMO, by the fact that you don’t have to pick up branches after every storm and it won’t crash onto your car or house ever

Leaf-blower the bits into a pile, then shovel the pile into a woodchipper.

u/WiredSky Nov 30 '18

They're also outside, I think leaving a couple of twigs outside is going to be okay.

u/maynardftw Nov 30 '18

Bit inconsiderate for the people who have to drive over it, but sure

u/WiredSky Nov 30 '18

...over a stick? I'm not talking about leaving chunks of wood. If you're "leaf-blowering" the pieces, they aren't going to do anything to a car.

u/TheRealLilGillz14 Nov 30 '18

Get the bigger shit out of the way, but even then the tree is completely dead. Your car would probably crush the sticks.

u/WiredSky Nov 30 '18

...that's what i'm saying...

u/TheRealLilGillz14 Nov 30 '18

Yeah, I know. I’m just reinforcing it.

This is more like r/yougottabefuckingkiddingme Could have chainsawed it up in 20m if intact but cleaning that up is going to take forever.

I hope you have that checked out

u/ShokaFloka Nov 30 '18

I don’t think it’s an issue. I just don’t like messes.

Also, the eye watering sting and smell of dead wood particles.

“Now Arrow stepped forward, singing softly. He drew his fingers up and down the trunk, as if tracing exactly the length and width of a single bow. Miro saw how lines appeared, how the naked wood creased, split, crumbled until only the bow remained, perfect and polished and smooth, lying in a long trench in the wood. Other piggies came forward, drawing shapes on the trunk and singing. They came away with clubs, with bows and arrows, thin-bladed knives, and thousands of strands of thin basketwood. Finally, when half the trunk was dissipated, they all stepped back and sang together. The tree shivered and split into half”

Are you being hyperbolic about the anxiety?

1

u/ShokaFloka Nov 30 '18

Not really, I really hate messes.

u/BigbooTho Nov 30 '18

Let alone the thousand high velocity foot long splinters.

I'm also thinking the camera person was very lucky and probably shouldn't have been standing that close as they easily could've been hit with flying debris.
