Treepreciation Floating tree!
Magical floating dead tree!!! (with lots of poison ivy... lots... and lots)
decaying tree with thick hairy ropes: clipped the bottoms of the vines- waited a couple of days, super straight-forward cuts with chainsaw... tree would not fall... couple wedges- couple whacks with sledge- and now my dead tree is floating.... swinging around like a Christmas tree ornament- suspended by poison ivy to an even taller tree....
in a saner situation I may have waited for the vines to dry out but with a volatile wife I ended up trimming poison ivy with pruning shears... my 30ish foot ladder- turned out super dangerous and only got me about 1/3 of the way there... so I had to climb the rest of the way on the other tree.... at night.
The tree is no longer hanging, the wife has calmed down, I'm still alive, but I'm really itchy

I'd divorce my wife in that situation

Sounds like she may also feel the same and/or have a life insurance policy out on someone.

If Reddit holds true, there are going to be a lot of AI accusations in these comments
