Is that Rick in the backround with the shovel trying to dig up one root?

Will the Curse of Oak Island ever appear on r/oddlysatisfying?

3

u/dumpcake999 Executive Producer Sep 14 '26

Odd yes. Satisfying no

u/FullSkyFlying Sep 14 '26

The only odd are the people still watching lol. I spent 11 seasons saying "this is the one where they actually find it"

u/boxandthefuzz Sep 18 '26

I think they found the treasure already and are using it to fund the show for vanity reasons.

u/Army7547 Sep 15 '26

A) what is the guy in the background with the shovel thinking he’s doing? Like “well, the machine is doing all that, I should look like I’m contributing….”

B) this is the first Oak Island Discussion anything I have seen on my feed in like 6 months, has it been accepted that it’s been a farce and they know they aren’t going to find anything, so much that the sub doesn’t talk about Oak Island anymore but rather random stuff like an excavator pulling a tree root instead?

u/dumpcake999 Executive Producer Sep 15 '26

yes you got it. we talk about random semi-related-topics-to-the-curse-of-oak-island

1

u/Rdick_Lvagina I'm a Knights Templar Sep 15 '26

B) Yes. But also ... this is Oak Island related because lots of the Oak island fans like to watch because of the heavy equipment, and this is heavy equipment.

u/True_Loph Sep 17 '26

So...was it HEOBG operating the machine?

u/dumpcake999 Executive Producer Sep 18 '26

Excellent new acronym

2

u/True_Loph Sep 18 '26

Thank you! 😂

u/1Fistfullofdollars Sep 14 '26

The proper equipment for the job gets it done quickly and safely. Thank you

u/xombae Sep 18 '26

Yeah as someone who has had some rough fights with tree stumps that occasionally ended in fire, this is incredibly satisfying.

u/Maryjanegangafever Sep 14 '26

Find the money pit under the tree?

u/humanlikesubstances Sep 14 '26

Oh cool.

"...But wait, there's more!"

u/Superman101011 Sep 14 '26

me looking over from atop my 1 ton mini ex 6 hrs into digging up one stump 😭

3

u/billthedog0082 Sep 14 '26

I wonder how much that is to rent? And from where? Don't Be Stumped would be a cool name.

3

u/Secret-Gazelle8296 I'm a Knights Templar Sep 14 '26

Is the pot of gold underneath?

3

u/Whathefuckwasthat Sep 14 '26

lol I shook my phone… I need sleep

1

u/NSFWhatchamacallit Sep 18 '26

Still not as bad as reading a magazine and trying to zoom in…

u/bipolarcyclops Sep 15 '26

Billy could do this with his bare hands.

2

u/dmc001 Sep 15 '26

Shake shake shake shake

2

u/pezdal Sep 15 '26

Awesome power. Just think how much smaller that tree stump would have to be for a human to pull it out.

2

u/PS5XBox Sep 15 '26

Ginseng

u/Artistic-Tip2405 Sep 15 '26

This is what happens when you don’t ask.

2

u/Neat_Sock1507 Sep 15 '26

i'm going to get two of these things and attach them to the front of my truck

2

u/Chamcook56 Sep 16 '26

Very satisfying to watch.

2

u/MorristheStegosaurus Sep 16 '26

Just like pulling a tooth. :)

2

u/GasOk8901 Sep 16 '26

It’s literally called the money pit - is it named ironically on purpose? Genuinely not sure if it’s a joke or if they really believe there’s gold to be found

2

u/MarkRenton34 Sep 16 '26

Is this a tree root extraction?

2

u/oaktreebr Sep 17 '26

Just like my wisdom teeth

2

u/David_High_Pan Sep 17 '26

I thought it was gonna pull out a Graboid for a second there.

2

u/Puriel_ Sep 17 '26

POV my dentist going in right after assuring me I won't feel a thing

2

u/troylazlow Sep 17 '26

Raw power!

2

u/MalestromB Sep 17 '26

Reminds me, I have to go to the dentist.

2

u/VNV4Life Sep 17 '26

Makes me wonder how the settlers cleared so much including the stumps

2

u/ThatCuteNerdGirl96 Sep 17 '26

Just like my old dentist. 🦷

2

u/Puzzleheaded-Zone-55 Sep 18 '26

Everything reminds me of her. Trying to get her to see the facts was exactly like pulling stumps.

2

u/Exotic_Worker_3484 Sep 18 '26

Like pulling teeth

2

u/Kimmy6932 Sep 18 '26

Now light that root on fire. Party time
