I was looking through some old vacation pictures and came across this one. It sure gives a perspective on how big these trees are.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Fun fact, General Sherman (the biggest tree on earth by volume) is officially measured in baths. This is an actual sign at the ~~state~~ national park
Come on… American units are entirely absurd but this sign clearly displays both cubic feet and cubic meters.
These numbers are difficult to conceptualize so they’re accompanied by number of baths for context. Nothing official about baths.
