@@newshortskvolcanic activity combined with tropic climate only having two weather which is sunny and rain (especially the somewhat constant rain), no wonder the dirt in Indonesia is so fertile.
More like “bros i’m lost in random ass village and ooh bro look at this premium dirt” Because yes sadly in jakarta the pollution did make the dirt kind of greyish
As someone who studied geography, I saw how mesmerizing the diverse nature of Indonesia is. I already collect some different stones from different places, and they are all fascinating. Glad Shinri likes the 'miniscule' things❤
hey i studied geophysic and i can relate to you, i used to collect rocks in my early days of study and im really mesmerized with rock formations in a cliff and i will begin to guess its past by looking at its shape and forms and also the rocks in it.
@@fian92 Right!! From the rocks formed through volcanic processes, rocks formed from years of sedimentation in the river, layered formations from tectonical activities, even lime stones from the leftovers of marine creatures. There is a province in Indonesia where it has 8 kinds of landforms, so it is fun to explore~
I don't learn geography, but when we got practicum about layer dirt, I can see how wonderful diversity in this place. Even in my island, from each city we can see how different type of dirt just by the color.
@@AdnantaTadewa Please inquire with customs. A single gram of soil could contain millions of microorganisms that potentially pose a threat to plants, animals, or even humans.
@@AdnantaTadewa Few years ago Indonesian government banned sand/dirt export to Singapore because they used it to expand their shoreline which in turn expand their Exclusive Economic Zone.
@@AdnantaTadewa Same issue with bringing plants/animals into a different country - there's always the risk that it could decimate the local wildlife or attack crops/farms etc. Soil is even worse cos it contains bacteria and other micro-organisms so they're harder to detect. Has happened many times before. Crop industries worth billions (and peoples' livelihoods) wiped out, local wildlife going extinct, forests turning into barren lands because someone brought in something that wasn't native to the country.
what shinri said is true. most cities, everything is paved. the water from rain or anything else will go down to the sewer. from ecotech perspective, everything which got paved is actually bad. there is things called the underground water, gathered in space underneath the surface. if it's depleted because water no longer able to go from surface and back into it, you'll see something that they called sinkhole.
The loitering is out of control, because some people don't wanna walk to the trash bin they decided that threw trash in the sewer's way was a smart idea -_-
did he ever see mango tree in the public that no one own and always drop the fruit to the ground so whoever can take it if they want.that's how fertile the land here thanks to many volcano mountain.
also I like how local shinri even thought it's his first time here, he feel like a far away uncle that live oversea and just comeback to his mother country 😂
That dirt hold histories almost full of bloody struggles and uncounted bodies of human that struggles to controls it, it full of dreams and the betrayals of dreams. it's more than dirts.
I already understand shinri's charm before, seeing him passionately go through horror games, but he is (I assume) truly a nerd person's dream partner. Imagine just hearing stuff of so little importance with such passion, it can make those seem very larger than life.
@@Tekiruru as a vestie, I'd say their vibe is similar but different. Shinri is a guy who's mostly chill with random unhinged moment in a different way to grandpa. I'd say....he's the guy who can say the most unhinged thing (like rizzing ghost or saying that a ghost is pretty) with the calmest tone ever and most polite language you can imagine. also, Shinri is a huge fan of game lores, so he will spend a lot of time exploring a game for the story (especially for horror) and actively discussing it with chat. he doesn't like being backseated though, so keep it in mind. their choice of games are also pretty different so there's that too. they're both similar in talking passionately about the most random and mundane things in a very interesting way, as both are old souls with a lot of life experience. if you like listening to someone talking about random things (or occasionally sharing their wisdom) on the background, you might want to give Shinri a go. (ironically, I'd say Shinri is a more indoor person than grandpa)
I think the reason is mostly due to climate, season and weather. In tropics the climate and season are mostly constant. Microbe and decomposition happens all the time, giving the dirt its lifeliness. While seasonal countries, the season extreme kills the dirt during winter times.
I think it's mostly because of the amount of volcanoes we have here. Every decades we have at least one volcano explosion and the ashes would cover a whole city. It's always a disaster when a volcano eruption happened, but the results after is this nice premium soil beneath our feet
If no one puts this clip in their holoEN/holostarsEN compilation, they're missing out. There are numerous times when our oshis talk about what they did that day or learn about some new internet slang that they need clarification about, but I can safely say that this is the only clip where an anime man just goes in on talkin about /DIRT/.
honestly there's something really charming about someone talking about the little things that matter to them. like at first it was silly, but then when he talked about how it made him nostalgic for when he lived in singapore, i understood exactly what he meant and it shed a whole new light on the small things in life. like dirt.
Damn, this guy's passion for dirt actually moved me man. I always likes Shinri because of how much effort he gives to dig as much lore as possible from all the games he play, but this? This talk about dirt put him all the way to the next level, I love this guy
The random dirt in Indonesia is also very fertile, like, there is an alley in my hometown, full of wild plants and dirts but rarely passed by people there. My father likes to eat salak fruit and then throws the seeds away carelessly, including in that place. About 1 month later, the seeds actually grew their stems when I went to my friend's house and I whispered "I bet this place will become a garden rather than a shortcut for people", because there is a papaya tree already growing here.
The difference is in the mixture. By what I can see in the picture that dirt has a lot of red clay mixed in it, so it appears more vividly brownish. Japan's dirt, in comparison has high amount of silica sand and clay mixed in it. If you've seen japanese video of them making dorodangos, then you'd see what he meant by 'whitish grey'.
Red clay is not mixed in... that's how natural Javanese dirt looks like... And if you go to Sumatra island, the dirt are naturally more orange, and there are slight differenec east of Indonesia (east of Wallacea line) Edit, oh, I'm sorry if you mean naturally mixed in...
If you have ever seen the process of a dead person being buried on the island of Java, you will know that mostly the soil is blackish brown, but the closer you are to an active volcano, the more gray-ish the soil will be because of volcanic ashes
@@uh-huh-uh2074 It still really depends on the location. I've seen cemetery dirt thats pretty orange/red, very dark brown, or like the one in the video. On a non-hilly/mountainous land it is generally similar to the one shown on video.
"just sprinkle water around random dirt and you will find plant grow on it by the next week" - my grandfather Thats how fertile the dirt in Indonesia is, heck even concrete cant stop the plant from growing
I didn't expect for someone to find something so ordinary and common for me, to be fascinating. I also learned that this is not normal for countries outside SEA? Also, is that carabao grass?
Yeah, the difference is days and night between tropical vs seasonal countries, experienced all of them firsthand cuz I often work overseas for a period of time. And yes, those are carabao grass. Its not the only type of grass that has grown in Indonesia, but it is one of a very common grasses here. Some other places also has lots of naturally grown elephant grass (Napier grass), lemongrass, and many more.
Shinri was right about Indonesia dirt are special than any dirt in world. That the reason why every european country including Dutch arriving to our land. The dirt supposed to be use for gain much food for decades, but become a part of house 😥
It’s actually a marginal soil type (Ultisols), not the ‘premium’ ones like Organosols or Vertisols. I believe he would be astonished upon seeing the crystal-clear water in the paddy fields located in highland areas.
Lemme reply this in english just to practice my english too here lol. I saw it several times when i live for 2 weeks in my grandpa house. Located in highland area, the paddy fields, omg, all i can say is, i can clearly saw the soil inside and sometimes can pinpoint the small animal like really small, and i dont even have a very good eyesight to begin with. That's just how crystal clear. I even wonder, can i drink it? Lol. It was a really wonderful eye-opening experience of nature for highschooler city boy like me at that time.
Bro, don't let Rainbolt see that pic or else he'll find you through that patch of grass btw It's the first time I saw anyone that into it to a dirt, wow. Makes me more appreciative to dirt fr
ironically, if Rainbolt didn't already know the Jakarta public info part, it might be really hard to guess it. He said it himself, the hardest country to guess is Indonesia, because there's nearly no eyecatching difference between each city and islands' metropolitan, and guessing wrong island means severe point deduction.
@@andhirafebilaurani Indonesia and Russian might be the hardest countries to guess how similar each regions. Also, how big the country is. unless you are really verse with indonesia and Russia cultures from each regions like Yakutia or Lampung. it will be tough to guess.
>Me, who's been almost a year without watching anything related to holostars (None of them interested me, except grandpa ves until he graduated and axel for a while, also I was busy enjoying EN3) >This clip pops out in my recommendations and I decide to give it a try, because why not and I'm bored anyways >It's shinri talking about dirt passionately >Gives interesting facts I'm getting grandpa ves vibes out of this and I'm not liking it...
Fyi 1. Volcano is very important to neko-neko finyance ID soils by spewed a lot of soils materials so the land becone rich with unarbsorbable materials 2. Climate is very important in ground pund ID soils because of the constant wheathering allowed beeg Beejoe to became pebble> smoll pebble until micro pebble so that the soils materials is just able enough to be abrorbed 3. Time to repeat 1 and 2 is very long, so long that bro Kroni just napped for millions of years 4. Living being like mommy Fauna starts munching the soils, herbivore like Cowfauna munching mommy Fauna, predator like Mumei munching Cowfauna, desyntegrator like mushrooms, worms, etc desybtegrated every complex leftover nutrient (remnant of other living being or even itself) so that the soils would become more and more fertile (Nerissa) 5. Jasuke see JP soils : 😢 Jasuke see ID soils :😊 (Psst.... If you wanna know further just ask Nerissa, okay)
I love how I just saw this randomly on my recomended, the way the thumbnail saying "OG Dirt" is enough to make my men instinct to just click the video, and here I am watching the whole thing actually interested to the topic
Shinri should, in more peaceful and stable times, visit South America. Depending on the place (Paraguay, northern Argentina, southern Bolivia and midwestern Brazil especially), you can find black dirt, whitish sandy dirt, and especially red soil. Bright red, even more saturated than brick clay, almost like tomato sauce red. The geology is wild and fascinating.
I think it was in highschool when i learned from my history teacher that japanese think Indonesian soil is SO RICH and Indonesians don't know how fortunate they are. "You stab a random stick into the soil and it'll grow". As an indonesian myself i do wish a lot more young people are more interested in farming. My cousin's job is restoring empty land mines and the before and after photos that he showed ALWAYS mesmerized me. Like, "My goodness mother nature DOES heal" and it's just so inspiring!
I legit don't know anything about gardening. So sometimes when there is gardening video that yt reccomend, saying you need the right acidity or something on the soil, i just can't comprehend it. Here in Indonesia, I can just throw a random fruit seed, and next few year it'll become a tree. Like wtf, why you need certain temp, certain acidity, etc. Just start planting. Turns out, it's tropical country shenanigans + volcanic ash everywhere making almost every soil very fertile.
Im a real Indonesian that i maybe have a theory why more modern city is more gray than the traditional (take this with a grain of salt, cuz im just an 13 yr old boy, and don't take this as an offense to you or your country, i did not meant to offend you) U see Modern city tends have much more of a Technology and a Industries part in the city, and the industries can produce waste either from the air, soil or water. Which makes the ground a little more sad, if i remember correctly, because of that waste not being cleaned properly, it makes the surrounded soil and living things like plants tend to died cuz well, they have some water on their body which get lost (i forgot why the water lost, myabe by the carbon diokside but idk) and left the soil a little more gray. Basically The Dirt basically quote unquote "thirsty" Because of the surronding waste not cleaned properly which makes the water inside the dirt, evaporated. There are other effects too why the dirt is a lil Gray like maybe the weather is never raining for a couple days, weeks or months, maybe the soil is really far from a water source like lake etc, maybe the soil has also no plants on top of it, which makes people don't really bother why water a freaking dirt, if like flowers on top of the dirt make sense but, why just the dirt yknow? But hey don't take this seriously Im just a 13 yr old boy that know some of science things and stuff, im just theorizing, if i say something wrong i apologize. ~some random kid on the internet [me btw]~
I'm out of the loop here, is Shinri from Arizona or something? I have the opposite phenomenon of this, because the place I'm from is _covered_ in the most beautiful earth you've ever seen. Sometimes it's so rich it even looks black, so everytime I travel, it's a nonstop train of "Damn, you people live like this?"
I exactly know how he feels. I grew up in farmlands and school was very far away (1.5 hours bus ride). Had to get up very early for chores and the bus. You go out there before dawnbreak and you could see all these small mounds made by earthworms everywhere. Dew made everything smell so fresh and earthy. And climate was tropical so no winter killing off everything. Fresh water from the well (after boiling ofc. Still drinkable straight outta the pail though). Now I've been living in the city for the past 15 years. Heatwave killing off animals. Water tastes like chemicals and dead somehow. Air pollution causing everyone to wear masks all the time. I get what he's saying so much that it hurts.
As an Indonesian sometimes we took our rich soil for granted, just few months ago I cut down a mengkudu (Morinda citrifolia) tree for growing too fast, few of the larger stick branches fell to our street gutter during rainy season, lo and behold that stick grows tiny branch and leaves, maybe if we leave it like that it would just grow another tree.
Honestly, the subtle differences about the land is very cool to study. The different ecosystems and plant life affect even the dirt and it looks so vivid and pretty in tropical areas.
Have you ever felt and smelt the RAW and UNTOUCHED smell and aura of dirt and broken twigs and leaves after a morning rain? IT SMELLS AND FEELS GOOD. I am not kidding. It is so good. Just... NGH.
Thanks for recognizing it, my father n mom work in farming/botany department and always told me about how precious and valuable Indonesian's, especially Java's, dirt is in the old days. They always mentioned the old song about Our dirt is so good you can plant anything and it'll live. I'm not saying others than Java isn't, every region have their own speciality and uniqueness(like the wet swampy land in borneo, Bali n NTT with their remarkable red dirts etc) and that's coming from my dad who goes around Indonesia checking the lands.
Here I am asked by fellow scientist about agriculture science in Indonesia and I said we are suck. They are confused and saying "isn't your country having some great fertile soil and nice climate?" And I just simply say "when we have such fertile soil, no one bother to study it because it is never viewed as issue" 😅 Well, we have to study it for real tho
Most Indonesian place actually best for agriculture, look at them now? They build house everywhere without care, importing their staple food 😑 n destroying their own farmer
wait until he saw the massive limestone in eastern java. Orange, Yellowish, Grey (Dolomite) and talc white? heck.. crystalline limestone? they got that premium limestone
