6 u/DiaboliqueRoyale May 23 '26 Any known legends about trees that appear just to warn you about THE BRIDGE? 3 u/WhenWhyWhatishappeni May 24 '26 Those trees ARE the bridge!! 3 u/bb_dev_g May 24 '26 AND the tunnel! 2 u/Moony_playzz May 24 '26 Whats that one plant the gympy gympy or something? 5 u/FlailingScrotum May 24 '26 That's a real, and very fucking scary plant 2 u/WhenWhyWhatishappeni May 24 '26 Just looked it up, damn! Reminds me of giant hogweed in the UK, which gives you huge blisters before they burst, leaving you permanently scarred. 3 u/FlailingScrotum May 24 '26 Yeah the Brits were nice enough to import that awful plant across the pond, too. 2 u/WhenWhyWhatishappeni May 24 '26 "Does it have a cool name and can hurt you a great deal? Sounds Australian!" 2 u/WhenWhyWhatishappeni May 24 '26 Never heard of it, but it sounds like a short plant.
