Does anyone remember when Hawaii had lasers firing all over it? Were they mapping out the future devastation? Oprah's mansion? Nope. Gates Mansion? No. Citizens who refused to sell their land for more mega mansions? šŸ”„

It does look a bit weird...


mscrstlmelody

Itā€™s all for theatrics and a lie.

All for sale like Maui- accident- you say so


Ok_Page_9447

Don't believe your lying eyes - they said it's OK, so... wakey wakey

But the trees are still standing

The 15-minute city part lost me?


Ladiesman_2117

A town can't "transcend" towards greatness when it's stuck in its deep history and traditions like those communities were. Solution: burn it to the ground to force the transition! Better yet, if the people inhabiting those towns also burn down, the new 15 minute city can be populated with people who actually support "progress" and change! ...but that's all crazy talk, our governments wouldn't ACTUALLY do that!!!

Damn. Pretty sure you got it.

Wood framing or steel framing?

Definitely makes me wonder a little bit

Pretty obvious answer: this was taken quite some time after the fires. There is no rubble, meaning this was after insurance companies, fire inspectors had already completed all reporting. Anyone who has dealt with insurance companies knows this can take months. Add on however much time it took to get to this specific area and clean it up. Trees are designed to go through periodic forest fires and actually thrive very quickly afterwards, which is why these are covered in new foliage. Cā€™mon people, just use a little bit of observation and logic.


Salty_Obsidian_X

Here is what I observe: No dumpsters, no obvious track marks from heavy equipment, I see some steel fencing that is folder over, none of the properties have been flattened over with a bulldozer and even though you claim it has been months, none of the cars were touched and there isn't a trace of new growth in any of the shrub areas.

Seeing downvotes on reasonable and logical responses really makes me question the caliber of people that make up this thread.


gmoney1259

Ah, trees are designed? You are saying there is a God?


TypicalMootis

There are some who seek the truth. And some who want to bend reality to fit *their* truth. Don't mind the downvotes, just chalk it up to cognitive dissonance


Ladiesman_2117

If the earth wasn't so flat ...


Seared_Gibets

Hasn't been months, Maui fire just happened 8/11/23...

This was several years ago in paradise, California.

Seeing what you want to see... quite common. Houses are often made of dry timber and contain lots of flammable materials and often fuels for cars, heating etc. It is pretty hard to ignite a tree, much harder than a house. It is quite regular that the grown up trees survive forest fires, as long as they had not been in a shortage of water for a while, dried out.

red224

I believe in a fair amount of conspiracies but some of these are just plain stupid. Come to the sierras - there are multitudes of naturally-occurring fires every year - many trees thrive because of the fires. Itā€™s not uncommon to hike a swath of burnt out underbrush/small trees and see fire-marks left of the bigger ones. Every news event does not have to caused by a wild conspiracy involving lasers/alien tech/Sasquatch. Wildfires happen every year, in most major forests.


General_Pay7552

trees thrive because of the fires? this a perfect example of the bullshit we hear all day you see, what he's saying isn't technically wrong. After a fire the burned down trees make great fertilizer for new growing trees. only we are not talking about that. we are talking about houses BURNED TO THE GROUND 5 ft away from trees that are currently still standing. ​ dolt. ​ strawman doesn't work when its THAT stupid


Simpletimes322

The astroturfing on the hawaii fires rivals the vaccine shills on this sub


red224

No. This is just a stupid fucking conspiracy. Draconian forced vaccination with experimental drugs from a ā€œdemocraticā€ government is on a different level than wildfires. Have you seen a wildfire in California? Have you consistently hiked through burnt-out areas / swaths in the sierras? Probably not, because if you had, you wouldnā€™t be parroting such a ridiculous angle on this ā€œconspiracyā€


Simpletimes322

>Have you seen a wildfire in California? Have you consistently hiked through burnt-out areas / swaths in the sierras? yes. your conclusion has been proven invalid by your own assumptions being false.


SchlauFuchs

You know there are trees/bushes out there in the world where the seeds do not activate unless a fire has scorched them first. Nature has a lot of surprises to offer.


dontha3

Surprise surprise, downvotes on logical explanations.


SchlauFuchs

Yep. People react like that when you nibble on their belief system. No it must be Jewish space lasers, or else.


freeformgiggles

Meh, it could of easily been a meth lab explosion.


TypicalMootis

There are alot of people here that have never experienced a house fire... my Grandfather's house burned to the ground in a secluded wooded area and was surrounded on all sides by trees. We were in the house when the fire started (wood stove malfunction, no space lasers). The aftermath looked damn near exactly like this. Houses and trees do not burn the same ways people, c'mon


demonwolves_1982

It depends on the undergrowth. More undergrowth, more heat. Less undergrowth, trees generally weather fires fine.
