We sort of forget they’re around, but in most parts of the world there are electrical wires hanging above us at all times. These massive, black rubbery strings are so intrinsic to everyday life that we don’t even realize dangerous, deadly lightning is surging just above our heads constantly. This is because, in most cases, these wires are pretty well organized and subtle. And then there are the other ones.

Particularly in other countries, they really let these wires run free. If you look at pictures of utility poles in India and Indonesia, they look like massive cyberpunk rubber trees that are in desperate need of a trim, or weird Charlie and the Chocolate Factory-esque black licorice fountains that he found unmarketable due to their dystopian vibes.
