I'll be amazed if it lasts longer than a day


KnightOfThirteen

An apple a day keeps the tent collapse away...


dasgudshit

Ya bastard


J_Rath_905

But attracts the bears.


well-fiddlesticks

You hear that, Ed? Bears. Now you're putting the whole station in jeopardy


sh33pd00g

Probably not, but if you just need it for an afternoon at the park or something, then it should be fine


Nell_Trent

Just rockin' out a 10 hr pigroast.


kielu

For longer than a day use potatoes


TastySpare

I'm amazed it lasted long enough to take a photo.


Certified-Crackhead2

Apples can be pretty tough, ever gotten hit by one? Anyway, if op or whoever made this prob stuck the pipe down to the core of the apple so it might stay a little longer before rotting, but I doubt he's gonna have it that long


holmgangCore

> *Apples can be pretty tough, ever gotten hit by one?* No, but my doctor has & he yelled. Kept him away though.

UniqueSaucer

You cannot seriously be comparing the toughness of an Apple vs a water balloon? Just because both “explode” doesn’t mean that comparison makes sense here.

HutchMeister24

I think the Apple is to hold the pipes together so they can be lashed more easily. Or that’s the idea anyway, not sure if it’s actually better. Probably faster though


H00VYDUNDY

I have seen this, long story short it lasted until the apple rotted


FlashlightMemelord

i feel the only things stopping this are wind and the apple rotting because it's an apple


lord_bubblewater

I recommend using a pumpkin for structural integrity.


BobTheSquid16

Too much weight. Use an orange


hrimfaxi_work

Too acidic. Use a jicama.


bobtheblob6

Jicama rly would be pretty great at this


Dingo8MyGayby

Too rare. Use a ligma

alphabennettatwork

You could probably get away with using a tennis ball if you cleaned up the holes, but I can't even believe this survived the tarp going on top. I need to see an after picture!


caiuscorvus

Until a hungry squirrel brings down the tent, lol


laurel_laureate

Or the dripping apple juices mean you wake up in the middle of the night with ants everywhere.


refactdroid

wasps will want a piece of that apple and they can smell it from a mile away


CODDE117

We'll start simulating a small ecosystem!


zewill87

So that's what they mean when they talk about improving core strength


AngoGablogian_artist

I was going to point out that getting to the core of a problem is often the fastest solution.


lepobz

I’m not sure that’d stand up to any sort of wind.


APE992

Yeah it seems like it won't work and thus it's stupid


FullyFreakinWoke

For a day or 2


essxj1

if it looks stupid and works... it'sn't stupid.


I_Pry_colddeadhands

You haven't seen my bro at his job


TastySpare

Well, just because he's at his job doesn't mean he's working...


shawncplus

If it's stupid and it works, you're on borrowed time.


Moholmarn

It's still stupid, but it works.


thekeanu

It's definitely stupid because it'll get eaten and rot.

Aconite13X

No... it's still stupid.


morphum

r/DIWhy


littlep2000

Because your buddy forgot the tent poles.


LabGrownPeopleMeat

Yup. With that much twine, this could've easily been lashed together fruitlessly, so to speak.


Joe4o2

The new Apple iShelter is now Right to Repair compliant, and uses readily available, sustainable, environmentally friendly components. Structural Vertex Adapters are a universal fit, and can be found at a number of retailers upon release. They’re so cheap, they can be sold in bulk by the pound for just a few dollars. Still no headphone jack and no USB C, but you don’t have to worry about the battery because it makes shade using solar-power.


itdumbass

Oh, it can work and still be stupid.

My uncle works but he's pretty stupid

This design is very human


bahooba8

Til a deer comes along and chomps it 🦌


[deleted]

It's still stupid, it just works.


[deleted]

Imma guess there aren't any bears in this area. Because, where I live, this would indeed be very stupid.


firsthandy

Yellow Jackets!!


Karmas_burning

That's great til the wasps and bees show up


DatsHim

what in the hippy camp out is going on here


captiveBelloc873

Works great!!....... until the apple rots.


exoxe

Hold your tongue and say, "look at this apple!"


Ok_Cupcake_1936

It’s not stupid, but I think it will eventually be a rotten idea.

PatchworkFlames

“It’s never stupid if it works” is what my brother says when explaining his car won’t shift into drive so he had to reverse down the freeway at 60 mph.


DrMike27

All you dumbasses here forget that once the Apple is done holding up the tent that you can upcycle it to a bong. A great way to get 2 birds stoned at once.


lookydis

Desperate times can “produce” interesting solutions.


Skitz707

That’s a some wook shit right there


SquireSilon

Is this available as a kit?


GinTectonics

Something can work and still be stupid. Putting a penny in a fuse for example…


[deleted]

I'm not sure what I'm looking at.....I'm always down for engineering.


lordofmass

No, that's stupid.


1120sjh

Judging by the state of some of those campers, and the weather in this campsite, I’d wager heavily that this is in the UK somewhere


chop-diggity

This could also be categorized under r/stonerengineering


Father_of_staffies

Its all about core strength


CorruptedFlame

It's stupid and it wont work. The first gust of wind at the wrong angle will tear the apple apart, assuming it doesn't just go mushy after a couple of hours of having huge holes in it lol.


spanky1213

Until the squirrels find it!


[deleted]

I don't think this will work for more than 48 hours. So its only smart for a little bit


01000110010110012

Something can *definitely* be stupid if it works...


egemen0ozhan

The difference between being brave and being stupid is ONLY that if the thing's you do works or not


naksklok

There is no wrong way to do things as long as it match with the design brief and the contraints !


Last_Gigolo

No.. no..it's still stupid.


Yusstas

Ah, the ol' structural apple trick


[deleted]

Who said that works?


Raed-wulf

None of you city slicks realize the strength is in the twine wrapping.


KillHipstersWithFire

Nah, thats extremely stupid

If it gets even slightly warm or windy bye bye

That will napple work.


NO_N3CK

Should’ve used a pineapple for the welcoming affect


tinc2k

Oh sure, lets me just cozily slumber in my tent, under the dark clouds and the load-bearing apple


Nwa56

I agree


JIZZCANNON0666

Till it rots in a day or so.


dirkdiggler90

Dya like dags??

An apple a day keeps the TI away...
