r/BreadStapledToTrees is a subreddit in which users post photos of bread that has been stapled to trees. The posts create variations on the premise and unique combinations of bread and trees. As a virtual community, r/BreadStapledToTrees is popular for its absurd premise, but has a sense of community identity. Its absurdity has been compared to early internet culture.
The idea for r/BreadStapledToTrees was created by two high schoolers, Charlie L.[a] and his friend, in March 2017. It became an internet meme with global participants, and the subreddit grew to hundreds of thousands of members. The subreddit grew in popularity during the COVID-19 pandemic. The subreddit has rules to ensure creativity, safety of trees, and adherence to the premise.
