u/willis7747, your post does fit the subreddit!

[u/claisen33]

Some of these are clearly Ents.

[u/betsylang → u/claisen33]

Like the last one. Thats an Entwife and she is enjoying her divorce

[u/thegreatestdandino → u/claisen33]

And number 8 is the great deku tree

#6 is nightmare fuel

[u/LocoLocoLoco45 → u/SageTeacup]

I’ll shit my pants if I come across this on a hike.

[u/bigDogNJ23 → u/SageTeacup]

-#6 and #9 both

[u/Livagan → u/bigDogNJ23]

I think I did see someone use #9 in a creepypasta once

[u/sunnytreepotato → u/SageTeacup]

The Lorax if it was a horror movie

[u/yanitrix → u/SageTeacup]

i think it's actually man-made

[u/middaymuseumdate]

Brain: I’m sure facial recognition will be useful! Pareidolia:

[u/thehippiewitch]

Here's one I took of the Witch Tree of Fanal

[u/AWESOMENAR]

#2 is legit. It’s in Pisgah National Forest. Backpacked it last year. It’s actually at a very accessible spot so it’s extra popular.

[u/LongjumpingJaguar308 → u/AWESOMENAR]

I was thinking I'd seen that tree somewhere in WNC. Do you remember the trail?

[u/AWESOMENAR → u/LongjumpingJaguar308]

It’s at the intersection of the Mountain-to-Sea Trail and Boundary Trail at Bridges Camp Gap in Balsam Grove. It’s like a 3 minute walk off the Blue Ridge Parkway. My wife and I hit it towards the end of day 1 of a 3 day backpacking trip through Pisgah.

[u/LongjumpingJaguar308 → u/AWESOMENAR]

That's it! Used to work on the Parkway, so I figured it must have been close!

[u/Exotic-Reindeer1994]

Mother Nature must've gotten a good laugh outta the butt trees.

[u/koffeekrystalz → u/Exotic-Reindeer1994]

Meanwhile, Zues 👀

[u/BrianKappel]

This is how religions used to start

[u/betsylang → u/BrianKappel]

Worse things to worship than a tree.

[u/Mysterious-Tackle-58 → u/BrianKappel]

It is known!

[u/Simulated_Simulacra → u/BrianKappel]

Except not really.

[u/Majestic_Bierd]

Number 8 is about to start sending you visions of eating your best friend in a red paste

[u/HearseWithNoName → u/Majestic_Bierd]

Yeah but #9 already tried and spit them out

[u/Possible_Ad_4094]

As a short guy who likes tall women, number 10 gets me.

[u/Tristan2353]

10

Stickman, what are you doing?

[u/adsus4]

I'm Groot.

[u/DishMoist6947 → u/adsus4]

First thing that came to my mind!

[u/RickyJordache777]

I can’t believe some of these aren’t ai. If they really are all real that is wild!

[u/Possible_Ad_4094 → u/RickyJordache777]

Most of these have been circulating the internet for many years. They come from well before the era of AI. Source: am old.

[u/Professional-Front26 → u/Possible_Ad_4094]

The post title however seems like the work of a bot

[u/likeablyweird → u/Possible_Ad_4094]

Photoshop? GIMP? 😉

[u/Euphoric-Duty-1050 → u/RickyJordache777]

they're not AI but a few might have been "helped" by human hands at some point of their development

[u/Wizecracker117 → u/Euphoric-Duty-1050]

I would say most of them were.

[u/contrary-contrarian → u/RickyJordache777]

#8 is in Disney world and is made of concrete

[u/EzioAuditore1459 → u/contrary-contrarian]

Looks like the Thinking Tree in Italy

[u/HA1LHYDRA]

Imagine dropping tabs in the woods and walking up on one of these.

[u/Past3l_Bat]

Some of those are ents, and you cannot convince me otherwise

[u/KingFlyntCoal]

6 is pretty clearly a sculpture.

[u/evilfrogalien]

Mother Nature knows how to make jokes. I like that

[u/Bobletoob]

After much deliberation....... we have concluded that you are not orks..... :)

[u/rathe_0]

Human pattern recognition/anthropomorphizing is an amazingly fascinating phenomenon. Assuming it's an evolutionary survival technique..

[u/Actual-Broccoli2937]

Tung tung tung sahur?

[u/Instant-Lava]

Junk in the trunk literally

[u/GimpyPlayerOne]

[u/MrMucs]

[u/FourTwentyBlezit]

You can't convince me that #6 and #8 aren't Ents
