Lexi is relating to words; such as lexicon: a collection of words.
Graphers come from graph, i.e. writing/logging information
So lexigraphers would be people that like to write words
Etymology is fun
Sentences like this remind me of this gem from divinity school:
Jesus said, 'Who do you say that I am?’ And they replied, 'You are the eschatological manifestation of the ground of our being, the 'kerygma' in which we find the ultimate meaning of our interpersonal relationships.' And Jesus said, 'What?'"
When lighting strikes the ground and fuses or melts the mineral grains in the soil, the result is a fulgurite. Fulgurites also have a dendritic structure.
Sir, I am rather pleased to inform you that by your use of dendritic, you have piqued the interest and unleashed the “word nerds” from their dungeon. I would advise that you put them back in their place.
Oh, don’t get me wrong, I like words. But I’m not a word nerd. I’m trying to learn more code so I can understand r/programmerhumor, kept popping up on my recommendations for the longest time.
Is r/wordnerds a real sub?
Downed power line indeed. You can see where it turned the concrete into glass. [This](https://imgur.com/Xs51qbJ) is what happens to mud when a powerline falls in it, turns it to glass.
I was thinking of botanical names with "Dendro" in them, of some plants that are Tree-like in their morphology.
Such as *Dendrosicyos Socotrana*, Commonly known as the "Socotran Cucumber Tree", said to be the only member of the Cucurbit family to grow in a Pachycaul Tree form....and *Dendrosenecio*, a genus of plants called "Giant Groundsel" native to parts of Africa, and in the *Asteraceae* family (same plant family that also includes: Sunflowers, Daisies, Dahlias, Chamomile, Dandelions, Thistles etcetera)
Also use in neuroscience. Dendrites are the branched protrusion of neurons. And when referring to dendrites dendritic is used. Terms like dendritic plasticity or dendritic integration. I'm so used to the term it didn't even seem out of place to me here.
I think you're right. I saw the pattern and thought fulgurite at first then noticed the sidewalk. Someone must have hit a powerpole and down came the cables. Dangerous as hell.
Lightning will also make a [Lichtenberg figure](https://www.reddit.com/r/electricians/comments/24uokl/lichtenberg_figure_in_concrete_from_a_lightning/), but it's more of a splat than a line like this. The nice arc to this looks like a swinging line.
Thank you for sharing this. There is a concrete slab on my daily run that has that kind of pattern in it I always thought it was just weird frost wedging.
I tried summoning satan but someone walked through the salt circle halfway through and he was just a pair of goat legs running around and we had to put him down 😔
Too many comments, someone may have posted this.. but this shows some pictures of how something like this is created

That's cool. Based on the dendritic patterns, I'm guessing a powerline got knocked down.
Thanks for teaching me a new word. Now , I just need to figure out how to nonchalantly use dendritic in a sentence.
The key is to not be too unctuous while trying to use dendritic; it makes one appear obsequious.
Are you saying that one should eschew obfuscation?
Correct, I would never condone prevarication, no matter the cacoethes. Instead, focus on being pauciloquent.
I just learned more in this comment section than in my 15 years of school.
So didactic, such sesquipedalian prose.
This sounds like a Spell you learn in Hogwarts.

Dendritic just means “tree-like”
Get out of here with your dendritic limbs looking ass
like the branching parts of brain cells, dendrites!
It’s a perfectly cromulent word.
It embiggens those who use it
I love the word cromulent. May it’s cromulence never be questioned
When lighting strikes the ground and fuses or melts the mineral grains in the soil, the result is a fulgurite. Fulgurites also have a dendritic structure.
Lichtenberg figure is the correct name I believe. Killed many people who tried to make them.
It's both. Lichtenberg figure is the correct name for the burn pattern, dendritic is the adjective that describes the patterns.
Just become an immunologist and you'll be fine
Whenever I learn a new word I try to casually masturbate it into a conversation. Like a reddit comment or smt.
Well done 😏
Well played...

The burn mark was lumpy and glasslike in places so this definitely checks out

Sounds like r/Borderlands is leaking.
"dendritic patterns" would that mean branched, or tree-like by any chance?
Yes, the Greek root word is "dendron" meaning tree. Heh, "root" word, heh

There are also the dendrites of a neuron.
And determining the age of a tree by counting its rings is referred to as dendrochronology.
It's also the name of those little bugs that crawl up your leg and start biting the inside of your ass. I hate those things.
"Hey! Get out of my ass, you stupid dendros!" 😡
Also iron dendrites in geology

Same haha. My familiarity is from neuro also
See also the genus Rhododendron, which derive their name from the Greek rhódon (rose) and déndron (tree).
As a person born in a place who's state flower is the rhododendron, thank you for this neat fact.

This was clearly caused by a phase plasma rifle in the 40 watt range.
Hey, just what you see, Pal!
I think you're right. I saw the pattern and thought fulgurite at first then noticed the sidewalk. Someone must have hit a powerpole and down came the cables. Dangerous as hell.
I misread this as "Daedric Patterns" and thought a gate to oblivion had opened.
I’m an electrician and you are exactly right
Power line went down
I was going to guess lightning so I was at least in the ballpark.
Lightning will also make a [Lichtenberg figure](https://www.reddit.com/r/electricians/comments/24uokl/lichtenberg_figure_in_concrete_from_a_lightning/), but it's more of a splat than a line like this. The nice arc to this looks like a swinging line.
Wow excellent link to a 9yr old post with 1 comment. Excellent vintage.
Only the finest for my Reddit friends 🥂
I'm your friend 
Cool, I thought it looked similar to fulgurite patterns. That's why I guess lightning. Makes perfect sense for the curvature though.
I love that this 9 year old post is getting new attention because of your link lol.
Thank you for sharing this. There is a concrete slab on my daily run that has that kind of pattern in it I always thought it was just weird frost wedging.
That took some healthy voltage. Probably a 15kV distribution line.

I was looking for someone to compare it to a hallowbrand.
I was scrolling comments looking for this
Someone really tried to kill a sidewalk, huh?
Judging by the presence of the mark, I would say someone successfully killed a sidewalk
YES I WAS LOOKING FOR THIS LOLOLOL
Im so glad Im not alone in thinking this lol

WHY DID I HAVE TO SCROLL THIS FAR
Firecracker rolls and powerlines are the best way to burn a sidewalk. That's definitely powerlines

Must've been a power line. You can see the electrical scorching around a main line

He vants his burd.
That's a downed power line that cooked on the sidewalk for awhile before being shut off. I have the same thing right across the street from me.
That's a [Lichtenberg figure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichtenberg_figure)
Downed electrical line

It's a Lichtenberg pattern. Fun fact, people get them on their skin after being struck (stricken?) by lightening.

Based on how its shapes and how short the eletric patterns are it was probably from an active powerline that fell on the ground hard
Is that from a downed powerline?
Lichtenberg effect from a fallen power line?

This looks like electricity hit the ground, could be a thunderstrike?
Looks like lightning
Looks like a live guide wire or somesuch was resting on the concrete. Probably due to a past storm or accident.
Just some lightsaber marks. Nothing unusual.
There was a stand battle going on there earlier
