I assume it has something to do with grounding, but I've never seen this before, so I'm curious of its function and need on a particular pole.

Sorry for tangent, but I was wondering is there a sort of playful version of this community that’s like what is this thing, where a person posts something unusual looking, and except then everyone has to contribute something entertaining that’s obviously not real. Like something funny describing and/or giving a name for it?

Seems like that would be kind of fun. Or is that just acceptable in this community for laughs?
