Idiots! You do not stand where a graboid is clearly about to surface.

Ugh, I hate it when I get Lawn Bubbles.
I did a google search for “lawn bubbles” and all I found, aside from this page, were “fisher price bubble lawn mowers”. If google doesn’t know about it, it doesn’t exist.
no, it obviously exists, just reword your search, because they are likely not called lawn bubbles
killjoy much??????
why the f*ck is the ground hes walking on being so elastic?! o.O
Best I can come up with is there’s two layers of plastic under the sod, and water got trapped in between them.
I forget what it is called, but this happens when a bog or lake is slowly covered with debris from trees and plants. Then, trees and other plants are able to grow on it even though it is sitting on an unseen body of water.
The coolest thing is when trees are growing on it, you can step on the ground and all the trees bend towards you.
Ask a person who knows a lot about science (teacher). A biology major would probably know about this.
(This case may be something different just because I’ve never heard of this happening on such a small area and with only grass on top…)
Hurray for science. I’ve stepped on one of these in a hayfield once. It does feel a bit bizarre. The trouble is that if you happen to find one of these in the wilderness, be VERY VERY careful. If there is a person with you, tell them not to follow your steps. You could easily break the surface and drop into the water. You don’t know how deep it could be underneath. It could be like a wet sand trap.
An underground lake sounds like it’d be a good place to hide a body. Would that work out?
Yes actually! A long time ago whenever people would be hung or killed for a crime, a hole would be cut in the top layer over the lake and then the body would be dropped in (out of sight, out of mind ;P). Because there is no sunlight and for some other reason (I forget), the body would be preserved for hundreds or more years.
Today, people have accidentally stumbled upon a dead body if they open up the lake to assess if it is safe to build on or for some other reasons. I bet that you can guess at their surprise when they find these bodies.
They are called Bog People or Bog bodies.
Hmm…kinda like lord of the rings?
This could happen when your septic tank overflows in high clay soil.
I was going to say it looked like someone buried a waterbed and then put sod over it, myself…
Epicsauce, i actually stood on a dried out lakebed that once felt excactly like that, pretty creepy, then when they ran a 4×4 over it it went right though and into the worst piece of clay crap ever
thats exactly what i thought! LOL
Buahhhahahaha lawn bubbles.
Water bed? Underground? Maybe? Idk.
For those of us with normal landscaping, what are lawn bubbles?
Septic Tank Leak.
When they burst, spewing nasty sewage everywhere, sometimes, if your top sod is good enough, this happens. Under that bubble may indeed be months of poop.
So, I wouldn’t walk on it.
that’s what i was thinking. doesn’t look like a good place for senor to be playing.
ya that was my first thought it was…. first response was ugh….
That’s where I put my waterbed……
This looks like a buried water bed?
That’s what it looks like to me.
i think they buried a water bed, covered it with sand, and waited?
Yes, it is just beginning to germinate.
WIN!
What happens when those are stabbed with a pitchfork?
how the f*ck?
Whoa freakshow!
Good work gentlemen, you’ve trapped the blob. Now all we have to do is set the thing on fire and run like hell.
He’ll burn forever, and become the human torch.
I think that is trapped sewage from the cesspool into the leach
I think that is waste from a cesspool going into the over full leach bed. Don’t pop that bubble or you’ll be waist deep in your own waste.
I see what you did there!
It’s a lawn zit. He’s gonna be pretty sorry for all that stomping around when it pops all over him.
I think thats the point. They made a hole (seen on the left side of the gif ) and are stomping around to make the water come out.
Their lawn needs some serious stridex to get rid of that thing!
This is fairly common, to anyone who works with the water company.
this forms when a low pressure line starts a small leak, below certain types of sod and ground.
The dangerous part is: it makes it hard to find a leak unless you walk on it, and it often covers the was out below. I stepped on one and went down in a hole chest deep.
We used to get these all the time when I worked at a golf course. Whenever we had a significant irrigation leak underground, the water would cause the turf to bubble up like this and it would feel like walking on a water bed. I never saw quite this much, though. Of course, the leak might not be where the “bubble” is, it is usually further up the pipe.
Wash out not was out.
My guess? Burst septic tank+fake grass, he should be careful to walk on that.
There’s definitely a burst something or another pipe, yeah, (we see water spraying out off on the left), but that’s no fake grass I’ve ever seen. It looks far too realistic with the dried out areas and different lengths.
Might be just real grass with sheets of plastic beneath, and the water from the burst pipe is pumping up a bubble, maybe.
broken water sprinkler line under heavy clay & sod
I had one of these, though only about 2 feet across, in my lawn as a child. Dunno what the deal is, but judging by what’s going on there and what was growing in my lawn, you have a grass (like crab grass) that sends out lots of long, tough roots which form into a tough mat. Then, add lots and lots of water from underneath, like from a ‘wet weather spring’, and the mat of grass bows up and out. Voila, ‘lawn bubble’ or whatever it’s supposed to be called.
This can happen when a water main breaks before the water is released to the surface. I’ve personally seen this happen quite a few times because I work in that industry.
Dancin’ over the “Septic Tank of Doom”.
“Now you’ll hear a lot of whispers about sink holes in the neighborhood, but those are just vicious gossip-mongers…”
I think I see water coming out the upper left side…..
Yeah, I’m guessing a leak in the house’s water main.
HEY MA!
We gots ourselfs a waterbed now!

…now show the .gif where he falls through it… >)
happened to me once. i was on acid.
haha, ive stepped on one of these by my nearby creek after it rained a lot…..but i jumped to hard and it exploded. good times.
Oddd….
lol

No need to buy the kids a trampoline!
Is this real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide.
No scape from reality.
Open your eyes.
Look up to the skies…
Look up to the skies and see…..I’m just a poor boy. I need no sympathy. Cuz I’m easy, come easy go, little high, little low…any way the wind blows doesn’t really matter to meeeeeeeee…to meee…
Mama, just killed a man…
Look to the Sky

If there is quick sand under it, it’s PARFECTLY SAFE!
They tried it on Mythbusters, (quicksand, that is), and because there is water, you float and dont sink to your death.
that’s not water, it’s sod semen.
Like a couple others have said, it’s probably a burst sprinkler/irrigation line. I see these all the time; once had one almost 20′ in diameter after a 3″ line burst under clay and heavy sod.
The best part is that if you cut a hole in it, then have a few people jump on it, you can make a geyser of mud almost 20-30′ high.
Good luck cleaning the walls after that geyser! D: (Unless the grass is very far from the house, but well…)
thats how i fell when i go to the cemetery
lol id pop it
My guess is somebody laid down plastic as a weed barrier and planted sod over it…somehow either by rain or a broken sprinkler system leak or something…water found its way under the plastic (maybe it’s a low spot on the lawn) and formed a pool in one spot. looks freaky though. or they may have set it up on purpose to make a video to freak people out.
Reminds me of that episode of the simpsons where homer becomes garbage comissioner and stuffs all the rubish under ground and then Quimbys playing golf and the lawn bubble messes his game up
I was beginning to think no one else thought of this as well. It was my first though
Yeah or when lisa and bart cleaned the house and swept everything under the rug!
That sorta thing happens a lot in bogs. I always thought it was some kind of ubermoss, but it’s been a while since I’ve read about it, so pfeh.
It’s kinda unsafe (and possibly destructive) for these two people to be doing this.
On the other hand, who gives a crap, it looks AWESOME.
Hasn’t this guy ever SEEN a horror movie? This is one of the characters that dies in the first sixty seconds and serves to teach a lesson…..
wtf!and how?
wouldn’t it be fun to make all the hills on a golfing green like that?
“Oh you have a water bed? Yeah that’s pretty cool, I guess. I got a water lawn”
Win!
AAAHHHHH> Best thread I have ever read. Thanks you jerks, I think I peed from laughing.
OMG, maybe it’s covering the start of a new massive sink hole!!!! Watch out guys! And how funny is this thread, what a hoot.
I wanna walk on that
Maybe it’s one of those underground mushrooms.
computer graphics!
Wow I’ve never seen anything like that
omg I’ve done that. you take the hose and put it under the plastic layering in your garden then leave it on.
My first thought when I saw this was, “What the heck kind of grass is that?”
The next thought was, “That looks like fun.”
that happened at the rec center in my town
I did this once by taking a hose connected to a 1/2-inch outside diameter thin steel pipe (it was the end of a broken garden sprayer) and shoving it a good inch and a half or so under the sod in our backyard. It was much smaller (a 1 foot square patch or so), but cool nonetheless.
That… that terrifies me.
It’s called an impregnated lawn.
It happens when you have good sod, and there’s a large leak underneath it, like from a sprinkling system or a septic system.
Other people, the one’s who’ve seen something close to this in nature, are looking for the word “BOG”
Kinda looks like they buried a waterbed under sod! haha
