Ennui KissingerI think carving a tunnel through a 2400 year old tree and then charging people money to drive a car through it sums up US culture better than anything else
did I mention I hate it here?
KatLS@Hunter yep. 😖
Chairman SteveIf you hate it you gotta leave,
Melissa BearTrix 🏳️⚧️I am imagining someone showing up in a car that won't fit and hearing them say " It's my constitutional right!" ... Giggles

@melissabeartrix i was going to jokingly say "i bet there is a yelp review saying this" and then looked up 1 star reviews and i absolutely fucking hate how right you are 😂 The half dozen one star reviews are mostly variations of this
OMG ... I'm sorry you have to live there with them ... Hugz
And giggles ... Giggles
Hugz & xXx
@melissabeartrix thanks for the condolences! hugz back to you. and definitely the giggles. all the despair but the giggles help me keep going
Claus Aranha@Hunter @melissabeartrix The thing that surprised me most about the review is that the reviewer mentioned ANOTHER drive through tree 🤨

🐧DaveNull🐧 ☣️pResident Evil☣@Hunter That's a joke right? People can't be THAT stupid…
@melissabeartrix Good luck to scientists… It's like trying to talk some sense into upper-management. You can't fix idiots, since they're always convinced they are right 😭
Schroedingers_Cat@devnull @Hunter @melissabeartrix Whenever someone says "People can't be that stupid" there is alwasy someone who responds with "Hold my beer".

PeterThere was another one where the car was too big, but the driver went through anyway, got stuck, and backed out, tearing off his wing mirrors. Damaged the tree, too. And blamed the people who looked after it.
Primo@Hunter @melissabeartrix the tree wasn't imoressive?! I'm so angry right now. The tree lived before the iron age grrr
ein kleines z@Hunter @melissabeartrix "that small tree" - I just can't... 🙃

@Hunter who the hell looks at a giant 2000 year old tree and thinks to themself "you know, i should be able to drive a car through this"
and the fact that people actually pay to drive through a tree... as if just looking at an impressive tree wasn't good enough

kb@Hunter Was the tree alive when they did this?
hex@donkeyblam @Hunter it is still alive
@Hunter this is part of the Avenue of the Giants, IIRC. It's also near Muir Woods, where the Endor scenes from Star Wars were filmed. I was born in this area.
Yeah... It's one of the most beautiful places on Earth and there's also stuff like that all over.
Christof Damian 💙💛@Hunter are they slowly increasing the tunnel for ever growing cars?
Trit’@Hunter Pays de tarés (in French in the text). 😒
iceloops@Hunter it looks like it's dead jim
akiran_n@Hunter why americans had to have drive-thru for everything?

Andy@Hunter That's right behind the attraction where you can run over a squirrel tied to the ground with your SUV?
Anna@Hunter ...in a crowded field, this is one of the most depressing things I've seen all week :/
Giles Goat@Hunter .. yes .. I think "you can't put it into better words/example" .. 😐
Pantsu@Hunter it might sadly be the best option to get an American to support a national park 
BarryP@Hunter 🎶 They took all the trees and put them in a tree museum…

Marcin Juszkiewicz 🙃@Hunter I wonder do they carve it every year to make sure that newer cars fit too.
Would fit my view on such US 'attractions'.

Frank Reiff@Hunter Not half as well as the fuel guzzling nature loving monster SUV driving straight through it 😀.

The very best there is. When you absolutely, positively got to kill every tree in the forest, accept no substitutes.
well apart from Napalm.

@Hunter what did you think what "CARving" means?
I asked one of this modern "AI" things what to about this and it responded:

Sam Gross@Hunter @_patmurray And then building cars too big to drive through it (this opening would not fit a 2023 Tahoe/Suburban, the car pictured is a ten-year-old one)
@Hunter SUV drivers are probably going to sue so the hole in that tree has to be widened to make their road tanks fit through.
xs4me2Totally sucks… what culture?

Bodling@Hunter "Well, what do you expect when someone plants such a large tree right in the middle of the road?!?" said probably too many people.
Kaiz@Hunter stupidity for fee, you mean, it,s common when people doesn't have identity.
Major Denis Bloodnok@Hunter I fear you mean not "car" but "wankpanzer the size of Mars".
Mike Elgan@Hunter We’d never do that today, though. We’re improving.
Nathan Salwen@Hunter Well I think that was a long time ago.
iooioio@Hunter I dunno. I'm kinda missing the guns here.
