Acorn trees? You mean oak trees?
90The ones that make acorns. Acorn tree. ‘S got acorns on it, what else do you call it?
68Bruh, I know the difference, and you know the difference, but the person I shamelessly stole this meme from doesn't. Please file your concerns with them.
47I interpreted it to be from the squirrel's perspective. Let alone miraculously knowing what an acorn and a tree are called, how do you expect a squirrel to know it's an Oak tree?

What a hero, single-handedly counteracting deforestation. You go squirrel man, you go!
9Squirrels in it for the long con.
4That was the goal all along.
4So all the clever squirrels die of malnutrition?
Makes me wonder which mechanism has limited human intelligence.

So, it's more interesting than this. The trees are playing the squirrels. There's a normal amount of acorns that can support a normal amount of squirrels. But once every few years, the trees make a bunch more acorns. More than the normal amount of squirrels can eat. But not frequent enough that the number of squirrels increase. So the squirrels go crazy and hide em everywhere that year, but there's no way they can eat them all, so there are a bunch of acorns planted.
Tldr: trees manipulate # of acorns to get squirrels to plant more.2Ah yes the Sarah Silverman bit in a meme
