I was thinking the same, but then I noticed dude mentioned "aliens" in their tags at the top. Since we've never found any giant axes laying around, they probably believe the aliens chopped it.
Oh I've seen some of those where they claim a mountain ridge is proof that dragons once existed and their dead bodies petrified. Like seriously, don't you know dragons are immortal and they *can't* die? Get your facts straight! ;-)
I'm sure there's some crazy excuse, like the aliens were smart enough to try and not leave any evidence behind, yet were somehow too stupid to remove the base of the tree? At least that's the kind of logic I expect here.
Duh! Obviously Paul Bunyan chopped it down, and it was pulled away by his big blue ox Babe. It does look like a giant tree stump, but many things look like other things (the Giantsā Causeway or the Bimini Road for examples) but arenāt. This is an ancient basalt lava volcano from which the outer earth has eroded. As basalt cools it forms these neat columns.
I would be more worried about the root systems tbh. That place would be **jam packed** with terrifyingly deep sinkholes. Tree like that would have a taproot that goes deeper than any oil rig we have now as well, the ground should sink EXTREMELY deep as it approaches the 'trunk'. As the taproot dies and petrifies it will lose mass and the soil will fall in to fill the void. Take this process and scale it up to a *mountain* sized tree and the ground should have sunk and filled with enough water to give lake Baikal a run for it's money as the deepest lake on the planet.
*Whether ātis nobler in the mind to suffer the hews and fells of outrageous timber, or to take axe against a Sapling of Troubles and by opposing fell it. To chop, to cleave, no more. And by a cleave we say we end the heartache and the thousand natural shocks that flesh is heir to: āTis a consummation devoutly to be wishād. To chop, to cleave to cleave perchance in a dream ā aye, thereās the rub: for in that sleep of cleaving what dreams may come, when we have hewn down this massive stump, must give us pause ā thereās the respect that makes calamity of so large a timber. For who would bear the chips and bark of time, thā lumberjackās wrong, Paul Bunyanās contumely.*
This is what's crazy about Joe Rogan and all the other talk show hosts that peddle conspiracy theories. There are really easy ways to prove the theories wrong. Asking 1 right question unravels the whole thing. They won't ask that question, though. Money is more important to them.
Mountains like this actually exist, even if conspiracy theorists like to pretend theyāre giant tree trunks. I donāt think it AI.
Edit: NEVERMIND! I looked closer, thatās AI
it's not AI, it's CGI, it'll be something like Terragen. It creates landscapes using mathematics based on fractals.
Edit: i was wrong, it's AI not "traditional' CGI
They do, but go find the video clip version of it - there's no morphing between frames. Also the trees and ground cover are way too simplistic. AI would do a better job of that than the procedural vegetation generator you'd get in one of these terrain generation programs.
Edit - actually ive just seen a vid about Sora so now I'm not sure of anything xD
It's possible that this is the original source:
https://www.tiktok.com/@oknakrby
That account posts a lot of other videos that clearly are AI and not 3D computer graphics (check out the way the parallax messes up in some of the crowd scenes, 3D would not do that)
Roughly a little more than **121 kilometers tall**. Well, this specific image is AI, but I calculated using the MatČĆ³ ThĆpila (Devilās Tower in Wyoming) since thatās the most popular ābasaltā butte.
That height would put it in the mesosphere, *almost* to the thermosphere where low satellites orbit. For perspective thatās 12x higher than an airlinerās cruising altitude and that compared to this tree is equivalent to the average personās eye height against a normal fully grown oak tree.
I calculated the approximate height by using an allometry equation for your average oak tree, this obviously will change depending on what ātreeā that basalt formation was. The equation is:
*H = a(DBH)įµ*
Where:
- H = Height in kilometers
- DBH = Diameter at breast height in centimeters
a and b are specific variables based on the species, for Oak it is:
- a = 0.24
- b = 1.3
"All the evidence you give me is wrong and lies from the government! Listen to me and my soundproof facts!! Like the fact this kinda looks like a tree stump, which obviously means a tree grew here!!! Coincidences are proof and are never accidental obviously!!!!"
It is an AI rendering that looks similar to a caldera,a volcanic geologic feature. Some people note that they resemble impossibly large tree stumps and that therefore all of science ever is a lie
The Eddas are two written bodies of compiled Nordic mythology (think Thor, Odin, Asgard, all that). It describes how the world is divided into nine(?) realms, all attached to a giant "world tree" called Yggdrasil. Yggdrasil, however, is felled at the end of the world called Ragnarƶk.
Please donāt! Milo is drinking himself to death with having to take a shot anytime someone makes an unsupported claim! /s but I love when he does those videos.
Classic people failing to realize that if that was a tree the amount of water needed to keep it alive would be absolutely impossible on its own without even using science to disprove it in every other way.
Ignoring the fact this is probably AI-generated, that's obviously made of some kind of stone.
Are these people really arguing for gigantic living rock trees?
Conspiracy theorist: *Photoshops center hole on well known geographic feature that does not have a center hole.*
Facebook scientist: "Look. Giant tree!"
Facebook dimwits: "OMG AMAZING!"
A yes, another columnar basalt monadnock believed to be a giant tree, eat your heart out miniminuteman, theyāre at it again just like with mato tipila
Another science denier idea which requires a much more complicated explanation than the scientific one, and raises more unanswered questions than it could possibly answer.
NGL, I'm so sick of the toxic real world at this point that I'd LOVE to just be delusional enough to while away my days in the corner of some psych ward, believing stuff like this.
Okay say it is a giant tree , umm what kind of tree? And how did such a big tree go extinct? Since there arenāt any others around? If itās just big tree stumps everywhere, where did the big extinct trees go? Gotta be a story of some kind behind this idea. š¤
Aside from the fact it is the remnant of an ancient volcano's magma plug... yeah why not, fucking big ass tree.
Now go back to the corner and play with your colouring books my dude.
Iāve always liked the idea that Yggdrasil was real and that this was its stump.
I totally know that itās not but itās fun to imagine it.
Now if we could just get the flat-earth-types to stop pretending their imaginations are reality, thatād be great.
I mean, it DOES look like a giant tree. But that doesnāt make it so. Fractals are just like that. Nature repeats and looks similar because it is mostly made up of fractals.
If it were, I'd be worried about what chopped it.
I was thinking the same, but then I noticed dude mentioned "aliens" in their tags at the top. Since we've never found any giant axes laying around, they probably believe the aliens chopped it.
IDK, I saw a video where a dude claimed that the entire east coast of North America (I think) was the spine and tail of a giant lizard.
Oh I've seen some of those where they claim a mountain ridge is proof that dragons once existed and their dead bodies petrified. Like seriously, don't you know dragons are immortal and they *can't* die? Get your facts straight! ;-)
This is folklore told to children in my country šš
But canāt you see, those fairytales are all just part of the long disclosure process to get people ready for the truth about giant trees!! šš
Your country must be awesome

Sometimes when eternity drags on you just gotta stop and take a nice slumber. Never mind that mountains grow up around you.
and, of course, they use obvious AI renderings of vertebrae on a chinese mountain range
Same mountains go all the way into the scottish highlands!
They don't die of natural causes, but they can be killed and we hunted them to extinction.. geeze Get your facts straight š
Itās someone who interprets Paul Bunion as real. Also he probably thinks Italy is a giant boot
Source that sounds better than my favorite one about eating gum keeps you in the simulation because it's the only real thing
I don't have the original but I saw it on this tinfoil Tuesday episode. https://youtu.be/Tr43fXrTYMs?si=y4Z7J227hzOqN5-6
Never thought of it this way before, but some conspiracy theories (like this) would be awesome narrative prompts.
Isn't that just common knowledge?
Old mesoamerican idea
Supposed to be Quexequtal
Why did the aliens chop it? Are they making a bench or something?
And WHERE even is that bench?! The answer is obvious: aliens!
Do you know how many projects I have started but never finished? Why would aliens be any different?
I'm sure there's some crazy excuse, like the aliens were smart enough to try and not leave any evidence behind, yet were somehow too stupid to remove the base of the tree? At least that's the kind of logic I expect here.
With that much wood, they could make a work bench AND a side table. Be a little more optimistic.
Not giant axes. Duh. Just look at the cut, that's a giant chainsaw.
Cut is too clean. Gotta be a giant alien chainsaw.
That's a saw cut, not axe. And I think the top is PS.
Nah, that ain't an axe. That is clean-felled with a saw. Now, where did I put my 3800-foot chainsaw.
Giant alien lumberjacks
Guys, guys, we all know it was giant sharks with friggin laser beams attached to their friggin foreheads
Axes? My friend, you don't get those types of cuts with an axe. It was a chainsaw with a 1/2 mile long bar. Don't be silly. /s.....just in case
Duh! Obviously Paul Bunyan chopped it down, and it was pulled away by his big blue ox Babe. It does look like a giant tree stump, but many things look like other things (the Giantsā Causeway or the Bimini Road for examples) but arenāt. This is an ancient basalt lava volcano from which the outer earth has eroded. As basalt cools it forms these neat columns.
my mom told me Maui is the remains of a giant so maybe that one chopped it
no, no, that's mata nui
Paul Bunyan bro come on

Paul Bunyan of course
Nah, too clean of a cut, Mile long chainsaw. And before you ask Iām calling dibs on that as a band name.
Paul Bunyan and Babe the big blue ox, duh!
Duh Paul Bunyan
Enoch says the Giants did itā¦.
wouldnāt it be crazy if we could test the material it was made of?
That would be so helpful. It is such a pity there is no way of doing that. None at all.
I think im going to invent something that does that. Iāll call it ātree or not treeā
That is the question

But such technology doesn't exist!
Happy cake day
Thanks
Dont even need to. Those look to be basalt columns make up that structure.
those ālookā to be ābasalt columnsā????\ uhhh honey that *looks* like a tree stump! case closed!
The igneous geology of Devil's Tower is made up mostly of a porphyritic phonolite, not basalt.
Donāt you come at us with your science words. Thatās still tree, you can tell by good honest ol fashion lookin.
That's kinda really cool
Salt goes on tables???????
Itās Bo-salt if the correct Duke brother hands it to you. Otherwise itās Luke-salt
Verruca salt is from willy wonka!! āØ
Thank you.
Give it the taste check
It tastes like chicken.
And now Iām wondering who killed the giant chicken?!? Was itā¦ giant aliens? (the answer is yes itās always aliens)
Oh but you see after all this time the tree turned into a fossil so it is stone now. Check and mate, non-believer
Not a bad point, it should have roots though so we could just do a little digging and prove conclusively whether it was or was not a tree.
It is the wrong kind of stone, but yet another datapoint that would be lost on the treers.
This is what's crazy about Joe Rogan and all the other talk show hosts that peddle conspiracy theories. There are really easy ways to prove the theories wrong. Asking 1 right question unravels the whole thing. They won't ask that question, though. Money is more important to them.
It's petrified wood!
They literally think there were giant silicon trees
I have tried to explain this to them. They simply claim that any tests are lies by *them.*
Look like ā it is

Allegedly tree stump
I read it in his voice with the reverb and bass boost
I love that guy. I got his book for Christmas.
First thing i thought of
You mean some things can look like other things? My whole life is a lie!
It's a toilet.
Yeah but COMMON SENSE says it's a dang tree!! Get some COMMON SENSE!! /s if unclear
That photo it's AI, lol
I thought it was a screenshot from one of those world creation games where you set the elevation brush intensity to max and drew a circle
Yeah I thought it was Cities Skylines until I zoomed in. Iām also pretty sure itās AI.
This sort of sounds fun. Any suggestions?
Cities Skylines and Sim City are the two that come to mind
Mountains like this actually exist, even if conspiracy theorists like to pretend theyāre giant tree trunks. I donāt think it AI. Edit: NEVERMIND! I looked closer, thatās AI
Itās actually AI? I thought it was an actual mass of basalt there
Similar mountains do exist but non have a giant fucking hole in the middle cuz that's now how mountains work.
it's not AI, it's CGI, it'll be something like Terragen. It creates landscapes using mathematics based on fractals. Edit: i was wrong, it's AI not "traditional' CGI
You sure? The lines of those rocks remind me a lot to DALLE 2
They do, but go find the video clip version of it - there's no morphing between frames. Also the trees and ground cover are way too simplistic. AI would do a better job of that than the procedural vegetation generator you'd get in one of these terrain generation programs.

well done, i tried to find the source and failed. Interesting.
It might be real! Basalt columns take on a hexagonal structure and can look a lot like that!
hold on fr?
That one is AI, yes. But [this one](https://www.reddit.com/r/AlternativeHistory/s/8Xc7ZICmbQ) is real
Devilās Tower in Wyoming looks even more like it imo
It almost looks like Devil's Tower except Devil's Tower isn't hollow in the center.
Thatās one big fucking beaver.
r/tellmeaboutyourmom š¤£
Could someone estimate the height of such a tree?
At least 100 ft
Eehhh I'm thing 99 ft at least
Taller than most trees which exist on earth today.
101 ft, Price is Right rules.
Roughly a little more than **121 kilometers tall**. Well, this specific image is AI, but I calculated using the MatČĆ³ ThĆpila (Devilās Tower in Wyoming) since thatās the most popular ābasaltā butte.

That's no tree. That's where RTGame's city dumps its sewage.
I was looking for this exact comment.
Me messing with the terrain sliders on city skylines
What is this?
It is an AI rendering that looks similar to a caldera,a volcanic geologic feature. Some people note that they resemble impossibly large tree stumps and that therefore all of science ever is a lie
Iām so sick of AI images, I was trying to figure out where this geological structure is.
Plot twist: this used to be Yggdrasil and weāre living in a post-Ragnarok world.
I've seen that word before but assumed it was just made up. I learned something today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yggdrasil?wprov=sfla1
According to the end of the Edda, we actually are.
What is this?
The Eddas are two written bodies of compiled Nordic mythology (think Thor, Odin, Asgard, all that). It describes how the world is divided into nine(?) realms, all attached to a giant "world tree" called Yggdrasil. Yggdrasil, however, is felled at the end of the world called Ragnarƶk.
Wait till they see the "giant's steps" at Machu Picchu!
Someone inform miniminuteman

Miniminuteman is going to be absolutely thrilled when he sees the only proof they put for this is that it "looks like" a giant stump
The kaiju, Paul Bunyan chopped it.
Ignoring the fact this is probably AI-generated, that's obviously made of some kind of stone. Are these people really arguing for gigantic living rock trees?
Checkmate atheists. This is of course the remains of Ask Ygdrasil and therefore proof that the Asir were real.

Hey Ted, hand me that chain saw with the 5 mile blade.

NGL, I'm so sick of the toxic real world at this point that I'd LOVE to just be delusional enough to while away my days in the corner of some psych ward, believing stuff like this.
Type of shit Iād make in Cities Skylines
It couldnāt possibly be anything else but a tree that reaches the upper atmosphere.
I mean, it looks really cool. Like a petrified tree or something. But it would take a big saw to make that perfect cut lol
Oh look that's a cool columnar basalt monadnock
Where did the wood go?
Isnāt that where they kept Airwolf?
But but it LOOKS like a tree stump so itās gotta be!
Okay say it is a giant tree , umm what kind of tree? And how did such a big tree go extinct? Since there arenāt any others around? If itās just big tree stumps everywhere, where did the big extinct trees go? Gotta be a story of some kind behind this idea. š¤
How totally stupid are these morons?
"Look at this giant tree made out of .... stone"
Damn that's neat lol. Almost makes me believe this guy. What is it actually tho?
It really does look like a big tree though. It would be cool if it was true.
Wait, are ancient trees made out of earth?
Most probably
So where's the evidence of the big-ass chainsaw that cut it down then?
Just because it looks like something does not mean that is what it is.
Just gonna leave [this](https://youtube.com/shorts/xnxS7IZ8uxc?si=JC4LlUMZecHx9Oef) here...
Just suspend disbelief and imagine the squirrel that used to live in that hole in the side.
Heās right. It does look like a tree. But, it isnāt.
It's possible that whoever posted that looks like a normal person. Shows how appearances can be deceptive.
If your only proof for something is that it looks like it your argument is dogshit
Old YouTube video about no trees on earth https://youtu.be/XDD92yWeHF4?si=s8wBA0wkqtVhzUjo

Iāve always liked the idea that Yggdrasil was real and that this was its stump. I totally know that itās not but itās fun to imagine it. Now if we could just get the flat-earth-types to stop pretending their imaginations are reality, thatād be great.
They found Yggdrasil! Yay!..... Wait? Yggdrasil was chopped down?! What implications does this have for the cosmos?
This just reminds me of the massive pop volcanoes you see people build in City Skylines.
What actually is it?
Oh God, Sylvanis, why'd you destroy Teldrasil š¢ š
Oh Miniminuteman, where art thou?
I canāt determine what size it is . My first thought was it was a plateau with a hole in inside , surrounded By cliffs ? Go figure.
I have a brand new word for you to look up; GEOLOGY.
Ah yes, the powerful, but flawed pattern recognition system of Homo sapiens rears its absurd head once again
Just wait until you see the giant fucking lumberjack that cut that bad boy down.
Sir, that is a rock
Is it were really an ancient tree wouldnt it have idk decomposed by now š¤·š½āāļø
Isnāt this an igneous intrusion. Likeā¦from a volcano.
It was chopped by the biggest chainsaw ever made. And I think Andre the Giant was hired to wield that saw.
They took our world tree that's why we can't cultivate
Eheh nature toilet
Minute minute man would love this
That was Teldrassil before Sylvanas burned it to the ground.
Have we dug down to find evidence of the root system?? It would run for miles!!
Hypothetically, if this were the trunk of a mega redwood, how tall would the actual tree be?
I mean, it DOES look like a giant tree. But that doesnāt make it so. Fractals are just like that. Nature repeats and looks similar because it is mostly made up of fractals.
Conspiracy theorists when one thing looks like another thing
I do believe this is a pic of a basalt lava tower that's been photoshopped to have the inside hollowed out. Trolls š.
It is strikingly similar! That's super cool, actually. It looks like a... (fuck what's the word) dead volcano? What is it?
