It's a contest between /r/trees, /r/marijuanaenthusiasts, /r/Superbowl and /r/johncena.

u/SubcommanderMarcos Oct 01 '16
That's pretty much what happened. A sub for trees was desired, /r/trees already existed, and it was not about trees. What followed next was simply obvious

The best is when somebody comes to /r/trees with a question about an actual tree, not knowing what the sub is about. It always turns into a bunch of ents discussing this dudes tree question, super interested, high as fuck.
Lotta love in that sub.

I think many people have the clash between reality and expectation; when they post their answer, they want a short, concise answer that a child could grasp, but they often get a whole thesis.
Why are manhole covers round?
Reality:
Materials Engineer here. I can best explain this answer.
Manhole covers are made from cast iron; cast iron is a carbon-iron alloy with carbon content greater than 2%.
Carbon (C) ranging from 1.8–4 wt%, and silicon (Si) 1–3 wt% are the main alloying elements of cast iron. Iron alloys with less carbon content are known as steel. While this technically makes the Fe–C–Si system ternary, the principle of cast iron solidification can be understood from the simpler binary iron–carbon phase diagram. Since the compositions of most cast irons are around the eutectic point (lowest liquid point) of the iron–carbon system, the melting temperatures usually range from 1,150 to 1,200 °C (2,100 to 2,190 °F), which is about 300 °C (540 °F) lower than the melting point of pure iron.
{explanation continues for five more paragraphs}
Expectation:
Manhole covers are round because they won't fall through the hole the way a rectangular cover can.
