This video of a tree burning from the inside is weirdly relatable

Forget dumpster fires.

If you ever thought that biblical burning bush story sounded a bit far fetched, you're going to want to see this video.

Twitter user Sofain shared a video of a tree burning from the inside out and it's completely beautiful. Sofain claimed that the stunning shot was a result of a lightning strike, splitting the thin three in two.

But despite the tree's otherworldly appearance, people on Twitter found it wildly relatable. Users had a field day coming up with jokes about the unassuming-on-the-outside-mess-on-the-inside tree, referencing everything from Trump's presidency to Jedi texts.

In any event, if you see a burning tree yourself, it's likely best to leave it alone. Apparently, the roots can burn and cause the fire to spread from the ground up, so the Chipotle jokes probably aren't worth it.
