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.
Wait you don’t like em? I like em better than just cell towers
You can’t fool me, I know an Alolan Exeggutor when I see one.
I live in LA and to be fair, palm trees are basically fake trees in the first place, they’re mostly non-native Q-Tips that give no shade. The cell towers should just cover themselves with billboards, they’d fit right in and make extra cash from the side hustle.
I’m not a fan of the palm trees either, but a perfectly straight pole with fake leaves that do basically nothing to hide the fact that it’s a cell tower was even worse to my eyes.
The craziest thing about billboards when I was in L.A. was the trucks driving around with billboards on them that were only being driven around because of those billboards. I guess the cost of a truck and fuel is still cheaper than paying for an actual billboard on Hollywood or Sunset.
This almost looks AI generated
“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.
“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.”
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!
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?
Penis.
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.
How do you do my fellow leaves?
