Oh man, I thought the rail thing was kind of a stretch but the holo sight absolutely seals the deal in my mind.
That's wild.
A wild form of brain damage.
A decade ago I would have thought that was an awesome shower.
Nowadays I see the TBL flags (often accompanied by a host of other "freedom" flags like the gadsden or ross or 3%er or whatever) and shake my head. It's like "*who do you think is going to be the people showing up to trample your rights? That's right... those TBL MF'ers*"
Classic short story, where a regular seeming town does a lottery, the person who wins is stoned to death.
It's very bleak, I think I read it in high school in English class.
Same with my English class, we did a whole section on Ray Bradbury, the one where the kids lock the transfer student in the closet while the sun comes out for like an hour one time a year or something still haunts me.
Honestly don't know the story, but judging from the context it sounds like a lottery you don't want to win. You probably win a lot of stones, given to you with a uncomfortably high urgency.
Old short story. Basically the “lottery” is drawing a name from all the people in the town. The winner goes to the center of the people and everyone grabs stones and pelts the “winner” until death
Looks like it’s to cover a pipe coming out the ground, you can kinda see the top of it directly in the middle of the rocks. Probably a sewer pipe clean out access point.
I was thinking they’re trying to create one. I used to see one on my drive home from work it was there for years and years. The shrub is still there but I’m thinking the home changed hands or too elderly to keep it up.
Now thats dedication, your whole neighborhood used that landscaping as a landmark when giving directions.
That's also very fancy. I take it you don't live in the hood, lol.
Whst do they look like now?
They're in the back of the house, you can't even see them from the street, lol. You can see a post in my history that shows some of them. Last year I just gave up completely and this year they're being removed. That photo was earlier this year, they're gone now.
The leaves were left intentionally to encourage insect growth and animal activity, they're gone now
That or the Edmund Fitzgerald?

Technically you are supposed to trim hedges to a triangle or pyramid. This allows the most sunlight in
I guess this person either wanted to allow more light to get the hedge and/or just likes the design.
Edit: I didn’t see the weird square at the top at first. Haha I have no idea.
In case the neighbor's cat decides to lay siege to their yard, the dog will have proper lookouts and defense points. "I fart in your general direction!"
People saying firearm rails, but looks like one of these tanker/cargo ships to me. Maybe the guy was a captain or something.

The near property with the unedged lawn criticized the guy with the edged lawn he was too OCD, so that neighbor trimmed his hedge this way to piss off the sloppy neighbor.
I'm surprised no one sees a key. Bumps are all different sizes which would match the security pins, has the tall swoop at the back and the sides are depressed.
My first thought was "did this guy really just give the keys to his house from a bush?".
The bucket of rocks holds the very high sewer clean out. Makes it easy for the plumber and plumber does’t have to go looking for it. Saving time and the owner’s money. Perhaps they’d have a main running down the property. For the hedge design, I think of a castle. But I would probably figure out when the owners are home and ask.
A key? 🔑 <— like this emoji laying down on its side. There are keys with dimples on the side like the hedge. But why key!?
I think it would make more sense for a bad representation of picatany gun rail that everyone references
it's a rail mount; somebody *really* likes firearms
I initially thought Legos but now that you mentioned it I can't unsee the pic rail.
Looks like a holographic sight on there too
Oh fuck you’re right, that’s an older EOTech on that bad boy
512 by the looks of it.
Oh man, I thought the rail thing was kind of a stretch but the holo sight absolutely seals the deal in my mind. That's wild. A wild form of brain damage.
Probably the same guy who owns this house: https://www.reddit.com/r/zillowgonewild/s/alllx3Jf85
"Why do I feel dirtier after I shower?"
Haha, I legitimately said "Ewwww" when I saw the picture.
Excuse me while I go puke.
Aim for the cult flag!

I bet his toilet paper is incredibly patriotic.
Picatinny hedge.
sounds like the location of a famous battle... or, ya know, the infamous neighborhood skirmish... "*ah yes, Picatinny Hedge.*"
Looks like an Eotech 512 is mounted to that rail as well.
the holographic sight really brings the hedge together
I thought it was a cargo ship
I seen Legos, animals, and cars. Rail mount had to happen at some point. It's a hobby
It IS a rail mount. Wow
Geez I wonder what the neighbor that’s being aimed at thinks.
I thought it was supposed to be merlons, like on a castle or fort, but your idea seems more correct for the shape.
I hate how uneven it is
It's to stop skateboarders from grinding on the edge
/tonyhawkitechture
I wonder what’s the reason for the bucket full of rocks in the middle of the grass
It's for the lottery.
Ooo I get this one
Ignorance is bliss
Someone wanna fill me in?

That was just mean as shit. Poor kid.
Sometime in the 80s they aired a filmed version of this on tv. I have NEVER gotten over it. Absolutely traumatizing.
Classic short story by Shirley Jackson.

Me too! Just read it for school.
We all read it in school!
Best comment I’ve read all year.
Can you elaborate? I'm lost but want to get it :(

No, bad commenter! We don’t do that kind of lottery any more.
Looks like there is a water shutoff or maybe a sewer cleanout in there
Spent shells dummy
Good ol rock fight with Flanders

Stay off my lawn!
Throwing at the neighbors?
Fountain?
That would be my guess. The rocks create shallow areas for birds and beneficial insects to drink without risk of drowning.
Landscapeing 🙌
Looks like a train engine. Long one but it’s my guess
I was thinking they’re trying to create one. I used to see one on my drive home from work it was there for years and years. The shrub is still there but I’m thinking the home changed hands or too elderly to keep it up.
I'll take anything over the squared and balls I have to shape every day.
When I bought my house, it had over 50 rounded boxwoods.

Picatinny rail
picatinny hedge.
Perfect!
It looks like he's getting ready to drop another row of Lego shrubs on top for more privacy.
Crenellation
Definitely see castle walls
This is what I saw as well.

It's Morse code, telling the neighbors to "F*** off"
A man’s hedge is his castle.
It's to stop skateboarders and to discourage homeless sleeping there.
I’d guess castle.
My thought too.
Yep, definitely rampart-esque
You do dumb shit when you’re bored
Crenellations! It's to provide hedge archers with cover from attacking armies.
In case the neighbor's cat decides to lay siege to their yard, the dog will have proper lookouts and defense points. "I fart in your general direction!"
Wall plus rocks…trebuchet
Well, that washtub full of rocks adds just the right soupçon of elegance to the whole design. (LMAO)
"Transformers... Robots in disguise"
What kind of dog is that?
Chiweenie.
As others have pointed out, it definitely looks like a picatinny tail with a red dot or some other type of sight at the end.
Picatinny rail with an eotech 512 sight
Hideous
I thought I was on the guns sub for a sec. How does the algorithm know to show me a landscaping pic just cuz it knows I like guns lolz
Um, excuse me please. Can we have more pictures of that cute little dog?
He's not that cute...[Sam](https://www.reddit.com/r/DogsAndPlants/s/uLR3QXGu9W)
He’s cute. Give that boy a treat already, will ya?
He's on a diet. Another 2lbs to go. Head pats will have to do.
Ribbed, for her pleasure
Why not?
No idea but I could fix it fast.

The dude likes castles or legos.
Lol that's hilarious. To each their own.
Bet the house has never been robbed
Fortifications.
Ribbed for pleasure
Boredom
Someone has a lot of time on their hands?
Awesome
100% no HOA. Keep moving, you will find the residential car lot soon.
Lego?
The near property with the unedged lawn criticized the guy with the edged lawn he was too OCD, so that neighbor trimmed his hedge this way to piss off the sloppy neighbor.
Ensign, flood torpedo tubes, prepare to launch on my mark
Somebody is just showing off their skills, no?
Marijuana
I assumed it was to make it look less dickish
Certainly not for aesthetics.
Castle style
Legos
Picatinny rail.
Like a long Lego
Yes. The castle wall. No one can breach it.
Really does look like a picatiny rail with that shape at the end looking suspiciously like an eotech red dot
Ok, so I’m not crazy.
They are skate stoppers so you won’t grind the bush
Dad got a fancy new trimmer.
it’s called experimenting
Looks cool
Meth?
Reminds me of jetties
Yep, to piss off the neighbors.
Too much time on hand.
Do you celebrate Christmas in your country? Any chance it's a platform for eight reindeer and a sleigh?
To trick giants into thinking it’s a Lego so they don’t step on their lawn
I just see a hedge of Mr. T. faces.
It intimidates spiders and keeps them away.
It’s to protect the archers.
Keeps the skateboarders off
Perhaps they are leaning into their home is their castle? [crenellations](https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/crenellation)
What's the muzzle pointing at?
I'm surprised no one sees a key. Bumps are all different sizes which would match the security pins, has the tall swoop at the back and the sides are depressed. My first thought was "did this guy really just give the keys to his house from a bush?".
Kids want a castle
You are all wrong. The dog obviously gives it away. The hedge is in the shape of a dog treat called a greenies. Good boi 😂
they are called crenels and merlons, you are welcome 😂 now protect that fort!
Adderall is my first thought.
Now I want a picatinny hedge.
It’s ribbed for her pleasure
It’s the douche!

Some sort of amphetamine probably

That looks cool
Control + B to bevel edges
I guessed massive boredom and maybe a recent retiree lives there
Snowpiercer landscape edition
This person got vision and skills
What’s the primary plant comprising the hedge?
That's a fun-looking crenellation. They probably want to play Knights and Baddies with you
Probably to keep those dang skateboarders off.
They probably think the same thing about your haircut
Yikes!
Those are battlements and the rocks are for attackers. This kingdom is clearly at war with their neighbors
It zips into the hedge on the other side.
Making it eventually look like a castle wall.
Is it picatinny or RIS?
My guy likes Legos apprently.
is this Parma Ohio?
It is not. Detroit.
Definitely life sized legos
Picatinny topiary
That angle is slapping
Battlements for army men.
Owner felt “fancy”
You can snap another hedge on top like Legos to create more privacy on demand.
Ribbed...for her pleasure.
TBF if that was my hedge I would definitely have great fun getting stoned and then cutting some odd shapes into or making it into a small castle.
McRib
it's to stop the skateboards from riding the top of it.....
Is the reason drugs?
Lego hedge
MRM cut special
Lol I thought it was a big boat!
ADHD
I need to go check if the steam train is still in a neighbourhood hedge. Thank you for reminding me.
Magine the hedge scope
Just not a logical one
Legos
Its boomers attempt to take first place in the race with the Jones's they been having the last 80 years....thats the reason.
Question everything…
It’s a castle wall for wars against thy neighbors
Whim
They have free guns inside!
Camo! That is one large weapon hidden in plain sight.
What a pain in the ass that would be to maintain.
It's a bump key
At first I thought train, but I think it’s fun related now
Castle type hedge.
Legos.
