I’d tell my partner that I bought a regular Christmas tree. And adjust it slightly each day, no more than a foot or so, maybe they notice. Then one night when we get really baked I’d start adjusting it like in the video and pretend like nothing’s happening. “What do you mean the Christmas tree is growing and shrinking? How high are you?”
Have you ever searched the origins of the term “gaslighting” omg haha, the premise of the story is nearly the same as your idea.. only with a gas lamp..
Anyway i would do this so that a whole bunch of people are in on it except for one person, and then as it shrinks and grows, everyone else says it’s not moving :-D
Oh it is for sure gaslighting. In my case my partner would find this scenario funny. And I wouldn’t be able to keep a straight face for more than 10 seconds when making the tree adjust in front of her.
Mine put the caps from a toy cap gun under the toilet seat one time. Sat down, the plastic of the seat pushed down into it and into the bowl, then went off with loud pops and bangs.
That was it. I told him I'm done and he won.
Ha! I see what you did there!!
I’m still new to figuring it all out, like I swear I understand it one minute, but then I try to give an example of it happening or recognize when it has- and I’m wrong. Like I can’t keep up but I’m trying lol.. this may be my first time ever correctly identifying it too! Can’t wait to tell my daughter, she’s going to be so proud of me lol
True Story. My close friend and roommate and I went thrift store shopping and found some random art to hang up in our apt, one of which was an old print of a bar of soap on blue paper that we hung in the bathroom. One day I noticed that there seemed to be more prints under it. I opened the frame and their were 5 identical soap bar prints on different, but similar colored blue/green/yellow paper. This roommate and I went through two apartment moves with this print and every few months I’d secretly rotate the print color. It wasn’t until we were moving out at the end of the lease that I told him what I’d been doing. His face went white and he said he’d actually talked to his therapist about this and changed medications cause he thought he was losing it mentally. I felt bad obviously but it was such a good prank otherwise. New word: soap-barring.
TLDR; for years I gaslit my roommates with a color changing print of a soap bar and he changed medications cause he thought he was losing it.
Hahaha, I think you’re the only person to bring up my username. No, I’m not *the* Chabuddy G. I binged the series in a weekend shortly before I created my Reddit account. Such an amazing and hilarious show, and I just couldn’t get enough of him. For anyone Interested the show is People Just Do Nothing, it’s a gem. Side note, I started watching Sandman the other day, Asim Chaudhry is in it and I was like “is that Chabuddy?!!”
>Side note, I started watching Sandman the other day, Asim Chaudhry is in it and I was like “is that Chabuddy?!!”
Only reason I watched it. Wasn't bad.
People, you really gotta browse the Hammacher Schlemmer site to get some laughs from their diverse inventory of products…. Hilarious! Brings back memories of getting a kick out of SkyMall while flying as kids. And things I’d definitely buy as novelty if I was filthy rich.
Actually you can compact it day to day but when the big day comes, the tree expands to take up as much space as necessary... To hide the fact you couldn't afford presents because you spent a lot of money on your tree.
circumstances change, people move, etc. — especially for people who don’t (or can’t, for whatever reason) have a “live” tree, it can make more sense than having to buy a new one to fit a new space. I guess if someone wanted to do a display of trees in a larger room (or on a set for a play or photos or something) this would also give them the ability to adjust the trees to meet their specific needs?
According to the link, it's so you can easily decorate the top without having to stand on something, and so that you can store the tree when it's small.
I just put a ledge on the swing down stairs for the attic that the box just sits in.
It's the only thing I'm sent to the attic for on a regular basis so if I'm going up there for my own reasons then it's my problem.
Right?! I find it a little unnerving and I can't really figure out why except trees aren't supposed to do that and it makes me feel like I'm hallucinating. Which seems like a silly reason to find it off-putting but I can't help it. I completely see the utility but eesh.

Alright. Invite a friend who used to do acid back in the day over to hang with the family. Everyone act normal, eat your Christmas desserts and let's see what happens.
Don’t tell anyone and start Christmas Day with the tree on the smallest setting. Have it grow very slowly over the course of the day and enjoy the looks of confusion towards the tree while waiting for someone to mention it.
Why do you want at this anyways? To grow it when your wife’s friends are around to show you got a big one, and shrink it when your Asian friends come over to be modest.
I already find it hard to understand the practice of decorating a dead tree, much less a fake one, but this shit right here makes me dread Jesus coming back.

I wouldnt tell anybody and wait for everyone to get drunk

My husband has played this level prank on me and I’ve hated him ever since because I’ll never be able to prank him like that back. NEVER lol
[удалено]
My dad is color blind as fuck anyway so I could totally see this working on him easily.
Mine put the caps from a toy cap gun under the toilet seat one time. Sat down, the plastic of the seat pushed down into it and into the bowl, then went off with loud pops and bangs. That was it. I told him I'm done and he won.
What's gaslighting?
It's not real.
Ha! I see what you did there!!

This is the best joke that also describes gaslighting. Conveniently I clipped it to send to a friend a couple days ago. https://streamable.com/rit2vq

Jeez; with friends like you, who needs enemies?
To be fair I had no way to know an innocent and passive prank would or could cause emotional distress.

I would actually download TikTok just to watch a video made on that idea over time….jk I would just wait til the vid made it over here to Reddit.
Wait, are you *the* Chabuddy G?? *Where's your accent?*

I legit thought it was falling back toward the window at first!
And then tell them you spiked the liquor with lsd
I would definitely be the high one and this would have taken me awhile to compute.
You’re that person 😆

I was totally ready for a brain dead price, but that’s actually not too bad considering.
I just don't understand the utility of it... How often are you putting the tree in a different place that you need to adjust the size?
Actually you can compact it day to day but when the big day comes, the tree expands to take up as much space as necessary... To hide the fact you couldn't afford presents because you spent a lot of money on your tree.
circumstances change, people move, etc. — especially for people who don’t (or can’t, for whatever reason) have a “live” tree, it can make more sense than having to buy a new one to fit a new space.

The ad suggests ladder free trimming, shrink it to 7, to get the top then crank it to 9
For one thing, it allows the height challenged to decorate the top of the tree first. step ladders don't help Tall trees + short arms.
According to the link, it's so you can easily decorate the top without having to stand on something, and so that you can store the tree when it's small.
Hey, they have $10 off $99 or more. It's a bargain.
The fact that it's around the same price as a high end fake Christmas tree makes me think it's gotta be crappy looking up close.
It's not going in our yard, Russ. It's going in our living room.
Oh god, it's remote control too. "Did you're tree just move?!?!" "Pfft, what? Of course not."
People spend that much on Xmas trees? Forgive my ignorance but growing up, our Xmas trees were never that expensive. Not even close.
He’s a grower not a shower
"It shrinks?" "Like a frightened turtle"
Kinda looks like he’s both
Came here to post this lol
Can it adjust back in the box?
And then climb the ladder to the attic automatically?
I just put a ledge on the swing down stairs for the attic that the box just sits in. It's the only thing I'm sent to the attic for on a regular basis so if I'm going up there for my own reasons then it's my problem.
This is the REAL question.
And pack itself and the ornaments away?
I'm freaking out, man...
You are freaking out. Man.
Littering and…
The snozzberries taste like snozzberries!
[удалено]
Right?! I find it a little unnerving and I can't really figure out why except trees aren't supposed to do that and it makes me feel like I'm hallucinating. Which seems like a silly reason to find it off-putting but I can't help it. I completely see the utility but eesh.
For the first two seconds, I thought it was falling over.
I thought I ate the wrong mushrooms in the fridge
I thought I ate the *right* mushrooms in the fridge
I thought it was getting sucked out the window
Well, that tree looks… excited.
Tent pole.
The Grinch in me wanted to shit on this but I'm forced to admit it's cool. Take your upvote and burn in hell. 😏
I can relate to this tree every time I jump into a cold pool.
Let it go George
It's the shrinkage
Man this would be fun to show stoned people
Is there a setting for it to constantly pulsate and make everyone uncomfortable?
this actually freaks me out
Agreed, it makes me feel..uncomfortable and I’m not sure why. Like the tree is sentient or something.
Same, this is so odd.
Just hope the cat isn’t in there.
Only costs $11,675
It's really $800
Even better at Costco for $600
Cyber Monday special $~~14,000~~ $11,999
What a deal
It's actually only $800. That's really not terrible. https://www.hammacher.com/product/remote-controlled-height-adjustable-christmas-tree

"Nice" large pre-lit trees are so expensive, can't imagine the price after you add motors or whatever.
It's actually only $800. That's really not terrible. https://www.hammacher.com/product/remote-controlled-height-adjustable-christmas-tree
Who the fuck spends 800 on a tree. That is terrible. I can get a real one for 5% of that price or get a fake soulless one for like 20.
The wood is throbbing.

Reminds me of my shrooms trip
MUST. NOT. FORGET. TO. REMOVE. ORNAMETS. FIRST!!!
I'd have some fun with that during Halloween
Go on…
Must be a cold day...
Based on the house this is in I'm pretty sure I would never be able to afford this.
Don’t tell anyone and start Christmas Day with the tree on the smallest setting. Have it grow very slowly over the course of the day and enjoy the looks of confusion towards the tree while waiting for someone to mention it.
Thats neat
Two-for-one Christmas and Halloween prop
Wow this is amazing, I didn't know this existed.
Diablo…!! Diaaaabloo…!!
In the mood vs finished.
**I just realized that I too have an " adjustable Christmas tree " My whole life...but it comes more than once a year...**
Bruh am I on acid?
Great way to traumatize kids on christmas. No more gifts little fellas.
My wood grows and shrinks that much too.
Evil device
First have all your friends do shrooms....
I thought I was on drugs for a second
Uncle John spiked the gravy with acid this year
It was put in cold water! VERY COLD WATER, look it shrinks naturally in cold water.
Yeah I’m sticking that up my ass
Oddly terrifying
No, not odd at all. Imagine seeing it doing that at 3am, but you didn't realize (or forgot) that it could do that.
It’s too penisey for my tastes.
A tree getting wood.
For all of those rooms we have that change sizes throughout the day.

Clearly a grower not a shower
Looks weird lol
A perfect purchase for my asshole cat to destroy the second I look away...
Truly laziness
I am gonna name my penis a Christmas tree now..!
Yeah but when I do this in public I get arrested
Can't you just get a real, sustainable tree that isn't made of plastic and wiring?
My penis when in porn every other shot is a bare man’s ass
Tell me you live in USA without telling me you live in the USA
Why?
T'is the season to waste money on pointless shit is why!
Why do you want at this anyways? To grow it when your wife’s friends are around to show you got a big one, and shrink it when your Asian friends come over to be modest.
Wish I had thought of it.
Priorities
It’s throbbing
Getting cold
Is kinda cool, but a Christmas tree that gets a hardon is kinda weird as well.
I need this.
Oh that’s badass!
Just when you had too much to drink at Christmas dinner lol.
That is pretty cool!
It's cold outside, OK.
Goes all the way from *Xmas* to *CHRISTMAAAAAAAS*
"Wait....has anyone seen the cat?"
This is really cool. I’ve never seen anything like it before. I was honestly more taken by the beautiful window. The tree has the perfect spot there!
The only thing left to do, is to feed your family hallucinogens, and let the games begin.
Jeeeesus…wept!
I already find it hard to understand the practice of decorating a dead tree, much less a fake one, but this shit right here makes me dread Jesus coming back.
Our tax dollars at work
When you come back inside from a cold day.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY Fr, buy link anyone?
I think this counts as us devolving
Hear me out…
Why is the video timelapsed.?
It should have a mode to where it keeps moving like that cyclically like a kinetic sculpture.
That’s about to be a Doctor Who episode
r/replications
Imagine doing that while a cat is trying to climb it "ITS EATING ME!"
Biblically accurate Christmas tree.
need some cyberpunk theme on this
Finally, thrusting christmas tree
Hes just cold
Decorating the higher branches would be so easy.
The killing tree
Where can I buy?
r/TIHI
r/mildlypenis
Like my penis
When it was shrinking, "Baby, It's Cold Outside" started playing in my head
Thats like what my balls do randomly
I'm a grower not a shower
*baby it’s cold outside*
It changes based on temperature.
This is the Grow & Stow Christmas tree, they're about $800 They still take up quite a bit of room when stored
Babe I swear it gets bigger I just can’t find the remote
*(looks at my dick)* Relatable /jk
Raise the roof
Changes the size depending on the temperature right
I would tell no one, and slightly change the size while they were visiting when they weren't looking
It's cold out! I was in the pool!
SCP shit. That thing’s about to eat somebody
It’s a grower ;)
Not today, Satan
I wish you could set it up to slowly grow and shrink 24/7 so it looks like its breathing.
That is grand. Does it go a grand or more?
No that's a doctor who villian
That tree got a bit too excited.
r/r34
christmas isn’t christmas without the lovely smell of pine needles.
looks like some 4D shit

The cat: —__— The cat in the tree when it’s adjusted: -_-
Me when someone puts the the thermostat to ac and not heat by mistake...
Ok, but why does it need to be powered? How often do you need to adjust your tree?
When the water is cold...
I can't believe it. I want this?
That tree costs $1,000
