Fire Engine Tank Trap.

Unlike a normal tank trap, this works by forcing crippling indecision upon the crew over which outlet to attach to.

Poor grandpa walking passed having flash backs to Normandy

Would it roll down a long hilly road or would the hydrants stick through the asphalt? I’d like to conduct an experiment.

This feels like it should be an SCP anomaly.

I was quite surprised when I saw the picture and thought hay that looks like the fire hydrant and pencil sculpture in Shelburne there's no way that's the same sculpture until I saw the title and went hold up it is exactly that

I did the same thing. That's not too far from from me.

Man how much you wanna bet that the dude who took the picture took the shot because they were bored in yet another traffic jam

A traffic jam in Shelburne? I don't think so lol. Longest you ever have to wait is for the stop light just ahead to turn green.

Unless theres a car show at Shelburne museum then there's a jam to the next town every time

I’ve seen entire planets of these creatures in no man’s sky

Does it work?

Doesn't look like it. No connection into the ground. I know art is supposed to be for arts sake, still wished it was functional.

If this was plumbed up to be a fountain that neighborhood kids could play in, it would be legit cool. As it is it looks like the artist just knew where they could acquire a bunch of disused hydrants and slapped them onto a common base with a coat of paint.
