    I'm surprised that the Katamari games include a longer list of physical objects than wikipedia.

    My dumb butt thought it was gonna be a list of every tree in the world, all eight gazillion of them

    • sph ・ an hour ago

      I did a search, there are an estimated 3 trillion trees in the world; somehow that's much fewer than I expected.

        It is actually three treellion.

        Even nature likes a terrible pun.

    The list of animals has dolphins and birds but not humans?

      It’s Wikipedia. Make the change you want to see in the page.

        With respect, that is naive. To demonstrate, create a new account and go ahead and make that change. It will be reverted. Wikipedia is not the democratic free-for-all it once was.

        If you do perform that experiment and I am wrong, please come back and let us know.

          Wikipedia is and has always been a wiki; reverting bad or controversial edits has always been expected from day one.

          Also Wikipedia has developed an editorial line of its own, so it's normal that edits that go against the line will be put in question; if that happens to you, you're expected to collaborate in the talk pages to express your intent for the changes, and possibly get recommendations on how to tweak it so that it sticks.

          It also happens that most of contributions by first timers are indistinguishable from vandalism or spam; those are so obvious that an automated bot is able to recognize them and revert them without human supervision, with a very high success rate.

          However if those first contributions are genuinely useful to the encyclopedia, such as adding high quality references for an unverified claim, correcting typos, or removing obvious vandalism that slipped through the cracks, it's much more likely that the edits will stay; go ahead and try that experiment and tell us how it went.

          I’m here to let you know you are wrong.

          I made an anonymous edit to the Wikipedia page of one of Hemingways short stories three years ago, and my edit is still there.

        • throw-qqqqq ・ an hour ago

          I’ve made several edits to wiki-pages without even having an account. A few got reverted, most stayed.

          Some pages/topics are more open to changes than others, that much is true.

> A tree located in an established gay cruising area, noted for its slender trunk which facilitates gay sex.

The mind boggles haha

I can't believe this got past the Wikipedia editors.

This moves me. It affirms that grown trees have tremendous personality.

I clicked expecting some catalog of data structures but it was a pleasant surprise.

Slightly off topic but does anyone know where to get a huge dataset of tree images? I'm talking millions.

However obscure this page might be, I was there just a few days ago. Clicked on it from this article about a tree that was cut down, and it was apparently a big thing in the UK. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sycamore_Gap_tree

  • cl3misch ・ 4 hours ago

    While this is interesting and impressive, I kinda relate more to OP's link of more "normal" trees. Going through the list gives me a feeling how many cool trees there are all over the place.

    I've been to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine forest in Inyo County, CA where the Methuselah tree lives. Though I didn't get to see that specific tree because the sun was fast setting and I wasn't prepared to hike around in darkness, I had a pretty amazing experience being the presence of 4000- and 5000-year old trees.

One of Wikipedia’s greatest contributions is collecting records like this that wouldn’t appear in a traditional encyclopedia.

  • fudgybiscuits ・ 3 hours ago

    Yeah you can bet the Fuck Tree wouldn't make it into any encyclopedia.

But does the article include a handy list of How to Recognise Different Types of Trees from Quite a Long Way Away?

Includes Martin Fowler's strangler fig. Yes it is a design pattern and a tree.

I noticed the "bicycle tree" in Scotland which has encapsulated a bicycle amongst other things as it has grown. It reminded me of a very old graveyard I would play in as a kid. The oldest side was all old trees and one day I noticed one of the trees had a couple of gravestones up in its boughs. I always wondered if these were really lifted up there by the tree and if so whether that's unusual.

Is this list comprehensive?

  • adzm ・ 4 hours ago

    No, but you can add anything missing if you have a source!

quijoteuniv ・ 3 hours ago

Nice! Includes Mythological and religious trees!

Why is Pippi Longstocking's "soda pop tree" not on the list? It's dying and the whole of Sweden are freaking out. We're putting tax payer money on solving its disease. We're developing a vaccine to try and save it for gods sake. Yes, this is a very LOL type of situation to the rest of the world, I know that. But it's not a laughing matter in Sweden: https://www.slu.se/nyheter/2025/11/pippis-sockerdrickstrad-r...

    Does the tree have a Wikipedia article about it? If not you can add it. If it does, you can add it to the list.

    Wikipedia allows anyone to edit and contribute! (although many users don't know that and a smaller than miniscule amount of users actually do.)
