“Of course I’m a real tree. Hold on, I’m getting a call”

You know that tree is growing so straight... if we cut it down it'd make a really good cell phone tower.

Why don't they just put the electronics stuff on the tops of actual trees?

Trees grow, get felled

Can't have trees be too lit (on fire).

I chopped one of these down one time. It took forever.

Next time use a hacksaw, rather that the axe

Oooh, it's an antenna. For a moment I wasn't really sure why someone would go through the trouble of making a fake tree.

It's not impressive to attach green plastic bits to camouflage a cell tower (which IMO makes it uglier and more noticeable than just a bare antenna mast).

It would be extremely impressive if they could actually derive the required power from onboard photovoltaics though!

“So you’re a REAL tree?”

Yesh. I make worrie aboot Christmas time. Family cut me and make ornament on my face.

“This dude is legit.”

i wonder what we would come up with if there was a contest to design a beautiful cell tower. a giant tulip? space needle? treehouse? inconvenience store? a blinky scroll tower?

[-] explodicle@local106.com 4 points 11 months ago

I like them just the way they are and wish they would stop wearing tower makeup all the time.

I thought it's just a big Araucaria Heterophilia.

[-] MonsieurArchi@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

How do you do my fellow leaves?

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago

I'm seeing a lot less of that these days, thankfully. Los Angeles had fake palm tree cell towers when I was there. They're even worse.
