Consider that a 30' tree, rotted out in the middle and filled with water is going to give you about 14psi at the bottom. That's probably what you're seeing here.
edit: see u/TA8601 comment below - I didn't do the math, just looked glanced at an imprecise chart :)
Oh buddy, that's not even the dicktip of the iceberg in "wtf!! *There's a sub for that‽‽"*
May I introduce you to r/dragonsfuckingcars?
How about r/spaghettihentai?
Or r/tsunderesharks? r/fedlegs? r/breadstapledtotrees?
And last, possibly least, r/interrobang; because would it not be a crime to use the most surprising, curiously named punctuation/ligature without even referring to it‽‽
\~1.91 bar then, because otherwise air would be sucked into the trunk if it were at \~0.91 bar, as 1 bar is roughly atmospheric pressure and 0.91 would be in the middle of a strong hurricane.
I studied engineering in France and Germany. For physics problems (like pressure in a water column) we always used absolute pressure when giving the final result. I distinctly remember a professor's rant about students calculating pressures under 1 bar in an exam problem about a hydroelectric power station.
Obviously the formulas had to show the atmospheric pressure component, but the numerical value always included it per default.
If you go diving, thirty feet of water is roughly one atmosphere of pressure. That is to say the column of water above you will exert 14.7 lbs of pressure over a 1 square inch area on any given surface.
If the tree is 30ft tall, at the bottom of the tree the column of water will be exerting 14.7 PSI of pressure on any given surface. In this case there is a hole, so now the water is escaping at that pressure. This is basically the same concept as water towers.
Both. Water usage is highly variable with time of day (i.e. waking vs sleeping hours), so when you're sizing a pump for the water system, sizing it for peak load is larger/more expensive than sizing for average load. You run the pump at roughly peak output 24/7, and overnight it fills the tower, which then slowly drains during the day to meet demand in excess of the pumps capacity.
You also size the tank to allow how much storage is necessary given the constant input and the variable output. You also need to allow for how long a pump might be offline for maintenance.
Having a water tower run dry is a pain to deal with. Air in the larger pipes can cause all sorts of problems when you get the water going again.
Useless fact of the day: Water towers on the same system will always be the same height, above sea level. Towers on hills will appear shorter than a tower on the same system in a valley, but the actual tanks are the same height.
Corollary to this: If you see two water towers that have tanks which are *not* at the same height, then they are on separate systems. This mostly happens in areas where there is a significant height difference over the service area, since putting all the tanks high enough to serve the highest elevations would burst pipes at the lower elevations due to the increased water pressure.
What's even more mind bending, on a totally unrelated note, is spacecraft only ever have to deal with that 1 atmosphere difference in pressure anywhere in space, VS submarines where the pressure increases 1 atmosphere every 33 feet.
That carbon fiber Titan sub that recently imploded was at something like 11,000 feet when failed. It failed faster than nerve impulses travel.
Instant lights out.
Edit: clarified pressure change at every 33' from double to 'add' 1'.
ELI5 Gravity pulls on water. Water pressure is roughly 44 lbs per 100’. 33’ is roughly 14.7 lbs.
Note: as the height of the water inside the tree goes down, so will the pressure.
Don't you miss the days when most comment sections of reddit were filled with information like this?
I still learn on Reddit sometimes, but man, when I joined you could come to the comments and find an astrophysicist discussing the atmosphere on Jupiter with a fighter pilot imagining how flying in that atmosphere would feel. The back-and-forths were abundant and fascinating!
I just made that conversation up, but you could find crazy discussions like that right at the top of the posts. I loved it!
The AMA from a Netflix employee back when they were newer was fascinating, too. Come to think of it, I need to go back and join that sub...
Yup, not to be an old man shouting at clouds but Reddit has been on a very steep decline for years now.
It’s pretty much on par with Facebook apart from niche subs.
I can't fucking stand seeing something interesting on reddit and clicking on the comments to learn what's going on and having to scroll past pages and pages of people circlejerking puns, movie quotes, or shitty jokes
What's also infuriating, is **that** is what the downvote is for. It's for low-effort, useless, or even harmful comments/posts that either break the rules or don't contribute anything of value. It was a way of decreasing the noise so the quality content could rise to the top.
Now, everybody misuses the downvote for things they simply dislike/disagree with. People posting opposing positions are important to the conversation! The *discussion* is the whole purpose of the comment section.
I don't mind the occasional joke or pun or movie reference, it gives people a light-hearted thing to connect over. But the endless threads with the same inane comments over and over again are so tedious. If someone already said "your joke", just upvote it! I honestly think the shitty app and site redesign are responsible. They make it more difficult to navigate the comment sections, so rather than expand all comments to see what's already there, people just chime in instead. It's also the general social media plague where people are encouraged to engage (either due to the UI & algorithm, or the chronic need for attention/acceptance).
nowadays its jsut the same neckbeards repeating the same unfunny reddit humour jokes while you have to scroll down a ton to find atleast somewhat relevant answers
I've been saying this for a while and the sentiment is growing. I try not to get optimistic about things but it is nice seeing that this opinion is gaining traction.
We're probably never getting the experts back but man would it be nice just to see people talking about the post and its subject matter in the top comments at least.
>someone asks a question, not a yes/no question but one that requires a longer answer
"yes"
LMFAO SO FUNNY. it's literally been 10 years of it nonstop. i get that it's an older joke than reddit, but i don't understand how everyone can keep seeing it and being like "YEAH THAT JOKE AGAIN, I FUCKING LOVE /r/inclusiveor.
look at that subreddit, look how many subs there are, look at how many people are still around and actively using it. that alone should tell you it's a joke that you see, maybe chuckle to the first time or two, then it's just unfunny as fuck.
reddit has always been awful for these sorts of jokes, but it feels like it's more and more present the longer things have been going. site is never going to get better, it's only ever going to get worse which is somehow worrying.
I really feel the quality of discussion here has degraded ever since the majority of users started posting from their phones instead of their keyboards.

You need a fucking gynecologist apparently.
Edit: Can't believe my fist +1k comment it's about a squirting tree. Thanks guys.
Edit 2: My fist award! Thank you so much guys!
Apparently someone who *really* wanted to talk about trees took over r/marijuanaenthusiasts because r/trees was too focused on one very specific plant.
Lmao, if that isn’t peak irony, I don’t know what is. A sub for a specific plant being taken over by arborists cause the general tree sub was being taken over by a single plant.
Almost sounds made up, lol
It's what we've always done with everything. Before the internet, it was quoting the same movies/tv shows into the ground.
The only difference now is the cycle is faster.
The difference between a bolt and a screw is how it's used. If it gets a nut, it's a bolt. If it threads directly into the part, its a screw. We can't determine if it's a bolt or a screw by the picture alone.
That tree is rotten and hollowed out, and rain has filled it with water. Time for it to come down or it'll come down on its own, especially with all that water weight.
You’re in a room with a hot girl having just shown her your dnd collection. What do you do?
“I’d like to kiss her so I’m going to roll for initiative”
Fail
She backs up as you try to kiss her and slaps you in the face.
“You’re a fucking weirdo, don’t ever call me again.”
....alright roll again.
*clatter*
Nat20, nice.
"....because I'll be calling *you,* baby." She pulls you in close and starts desperately making out with you. Roll a Perception check.
*clatter*
16.... yeah that does it.
In your passionate embrace and makeout session, you realize she has a surprisingly long tongue... too long. It's practically down your throat, and it's getting hard to breathe. She shows no sign of stopping, not even for a breath; and you realize you feel hot, moist air at your midsection and arm.
You can suddenly detect a massive row of sharp, predatory teeth like arrowheads running diagonally across her stomach, and a huge, thick, wet, monstrous tongue lolling out of that impossible mouth, just under your arm.
Your hand had been sliding down her back, but abruptly halts at the hollow of her lower spine; incredibly, you feel what can only be described as a *hinge* there, bony and warm, slightly moist to the touch. As you explore it with your fingers, somewhere between horrified and mesmerized, you can hear and feel her pleasantly moan... through BOTH mouths, the lower one sounding like something between a nearby crocodile and a distant lion. You can feel the deep rumbling of it in your chest.
Your eyes fly open in shock to find three gold and purple slit-pupiled eyes gazing back at you dreamily, as you realize *you've just accidentally seduced a Mimic.*
Roll a Charisma saving throw.

Shit man, I know I put your character sheet here somewhere... oh damn was that the oven? Hang on, I think the stuffed mushrooms are ready. Anybody want another drink? Soda? Beer? Wine? You? How bout you? Come on guys I spent way too much on refreshments....
Remember when you used to click on a post like this and not all of the comments were jokes? You could easily find a comment explaining what’s happening? I remember
The core of the tree is rotten and decaying, as shown by the darker ring of wood inside the lighter wood surrounding it. The reason it’s squirting water is almost certainly because someone shoved a hose into a hole in the tree down by the trunk and they’re actively feeding water into the cavity. We don’t know that for certain, but trees don’t normally, uhh, orgasm like that.
Edit: Thanks for the input, tree people! It looked a little clean to me for gross old rainwater, but that totally makes sense.
Tree guy here..
I agree with the first part of your comment, but have seen this happen before. it's either a mix of rotten wood and water that has accumulated in the centre (and stinks) or, there is a fork higher up and rain water has drained into the rotten core. Same result ultimately.
So it has to do with hydro static pressure. Basically the weight of the water generates a pressure caused by the force of gravity. Hydrostatic Pressure = Density of the Fluid * Gravitational Constant * Height of the fluid column. Same reason for Atmospheric Pressure and the pressure in the deep of the ocean.
So the core of the tree rots out, but the outer area is still alive. Tree becomes hollow and if there are no gaps low in the tree it will hold water. If this limb is below a significant amount of the water, the water has a pressure behind it. Cutting off the limb created a small gap which allows water to escape, creating the squirting effect.
I've cut into a tree before only for a shit ton of water to come gushing out. Not terribly common but not all that weird either.
This is how i feel about youtubers who get big as well.
An example for me would be Mr Ballen. Used to get many insightful and informative comments under the stories he tells, now it’s almost all comments about how they love him or he inspires them. Which is great, but at the same time its annoying when that’s ALL you see
I hate that! I go to the comments to see discussion of the story. Instead it’s people saying, “Mr. Ballen is a great story teller! Blah blah blah!” Yeah, I know. That’s why we’re watching his videos.
Everyone trying to be a comedian for that karma. People repeating the same few jokes thinking they're unique and the first to come up with it or make the link. Also more "mainstream" people hopping onto reddit, people from places like ifunny, 9gag, facebook/instagram meme pages.
The jokes aren't even creative. They're the same jokes anyone who is not a teenager has seen over and over again.
Or it's a pop culture reference that adds nothing to the conversation.

Just throwing out a statement/question. Water towers are for maintaining pressure in a town not as a storage correct?

Your arm’s off.
No, it isn’t.
Well what's that, then?
I've had worse.
You liar!
Chicken!
Alright... we'll call it a draw
Just a pulp wound
Far further down than it should be considering I had this thought BEFORE the obvious innuendo thought.
You beat me to it. LOL
Wood
I should call her.
This is what I came to the comments for
Your mother knows you love her don’t worry!
Yeah but he should tell her I said "hey" at minimum.
I’m shocked how far I had to scroll to find this one!

That Tree-ussy though
I went to high school with that tree... 😂
When I went to high school, I was that tree.
Solid joke, bravo
Perverts! Perverts, all of ya! ![gif](giphy|Xoyp2IEpUSp2CsQuY7)
Remember when you used to click on a post like this and not all of the comments were jokes? You could easily find a comment explaining what’s happening? I remember
The core of the tree is rotten and decaying, as shown by the darker ring of wood inside the lighter wood surrounding it. The reason it’s squirting water is almost certainly because someone shoved a hose into a hole in the tree down by the trunk and they’re actively feeding water into the cavity. We don’t know that for certain, but trees don’t normally, uhh, orgasm like that. Edit: Thanks for the input, tree people! It looked a little clean to me for gross old rainwater, but that totally makes sense.
Tree guy here.. I agree with the first part of your comment, but have seen this happen before. it's either a mix of rotten wood and water that has accumulated in the centre (and stinks) or, there is a fork higher up and rain water has drained into the rotten core. Same result ultimately.
So gravity is pulling this water from higher in the tree like a water tower. Am I understanding that right?
Correct. Hydrostatic pressure produced by elevation.
aka 'falling'
With style 🧑🚀
So it has to do with hydro static pressure. Basically the weight of the water generates a pressure caused by the force of gravity. Hydrostatic Pressure = Density of the Fluid * Gravitational Constant * Height of the fluid column. Same reason for Atmospheric Pressure and the pressure in the deep of the ocean. So the core of the tree rots out, but the outer area is still alive. Tree becomes hollow and if there are no gaps low in the tree it will hold water. If this limb is below a significant amount of the water, the water has a pressure behind it. Cutting off the limb created a small gap which allows water to escape, creating the squirting effect. I've cut into a tree before only for a shit ton of water to come gushing out. Not terribly common but not all that weird either.
This is how i feel about youtubers who get big as well. An example for me would be Mr Ballen. Used to get many insightful and informative comments under the stories he tells, now it’s almost all comments about how they love him or he inspires them. Which is great, but at the same time its annoying when that’s ALL you see
I hate that! I go to the comments to see discussion of the story. Instead it’s people saying, “Mr. Ballen is a great story teller! Blah blah blah!” Yeah, I know. That’s why we’re watching his videos.
Literally the first comment I saw was an explanation on what happens here
Everyone trying to be a comedian for that karma. People repeating the same few jokes thinking they're unique and the first to come up with it or make the link. Also more "mainstream" people hopping onto reddit, people from places like ifunny, 9gag, facebook/instagram meme pages.
Top 20 websites in the world. Its been mainstream.
unlike ifunny & 9gag
"i should call her" every fucking time, it was barely funny 5 years ago
The jokes aren't even creative. They're the same jokes anyone who is not a teenager has seen over and over again. Or it's a pop culture reference that adds nothing to the conversation.
“Everything reminds me of her” - unknown
Average tree in Kurosawa movie.
I'm a arborist for 20 years... I've seen water... never seen a sprinkler like this lol
That's some wet ass pussywillow

That should be on Pornhub for trees.
