tbh that's probably the least offensive thing we do
Sure but we also put these all over wooded mountainous areas:
5g mesh network towers. I don't personally care but I do find it deeply funny that Americans will get beet fucking red about getting a cell tower in their suburban hellscape because they think it still has "rural character" and then also put up a mat black Obelisk of Verizon every mile and a half down ancient mountains so they can get any internet at all.
that's in a parking lot why isn't it a street light lmao
Its actually on highway 36 near Estes Park in CO. This one is near a lot but their all up and down that high way.
Why do I need internet on a narrow, twisting, mountain road?
Because that narrow, twisting mountain road is less than 30m from a city of 100,000, and a lot of people camp there and have no idea how to navigate using real maps and rely upon internet connected GPS on their phones. Also, because, why not? China has 5g on top of the remotest mountains, because it’s useful to have.
The yawning void is hungry and I need to text my estranged adult children.
That's fair. I didn't think of that.
that thing somehow reminds me of the huge random daggers stuck in the ground in riven all over the place:
and also those stick-type hand grenades.
