That 8th entry pouring loads on WD40 on trees is just crazy, that thing is petroleum distillate !
- davekiss 2y agoDon't worry, this is a stump that's been dead for years, isolated to a very small garden bed in my yard
- a1o 2y agoYou chose papyrus too, I think that was the most damning.
- davekiss 2y agoFairies literally only use papyrus
- cinntaile 2y agoI'd still wager that is why it didn't win any prizes though. They don't want to show a video spraying WD40 in nature. I enjoyed the post, I appreciate a good methodical process.
- previousjs 2y agoWell there is the water table too. But that said weed killer is poured all over everywhere
- thinkingemote 2y ago"dead" stumps provide an essential home to insects, plants, lichen, fungi and other stuff. Rotting wood is essential for a healthy ecosystem. These days it is not seen as unwanted, dead or waste material from a tree but part of a life cycle. It is a living habitat. So the judges may have seen something different rather than protecting, preserving and prioritising your family and the joyful and creative structures for children's play. At the very least it would give ambiguity in today's more ecological minded world.
- mock-possum 2y agoYeah the anti-eco optics was my first though too - also the voiceover is a little more obviously AI. “Dump chemicals into the forest, brought to you by WD-40” isn’t a super appealing message (regardless of what was actually happening / intended)
- DowagerDave 2y ago>> pouring loads on WD40 on trees not really the same thing as spraying a bit of WD40 on a dead stump.
