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

[โ€“] Neato@kbin.social 29 points 2 years ago

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

[โ€“] zib@kbin.social 19 points 2 years ago (3 children)

This makes me irrationally angry.

[โ€“] rockSlayer@lemmy.world 26 points 2 years ago

It's not irrational to be angry about this.

[โ€“] CrispyPeach@beehaw.org 7 points 2 years ago

Doesn't seem that irrational imo

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..

[โ€“] GamesRevolution@programming.dev 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

Hell of a summer job, though ๐Ÿ˜„

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

[โ€“] SARGEx117@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years 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.
