Gonna smoke me some crystal, man...

Yeah and I'm sure the first few guys almost died not realizing that water was condensing in their lungs til it was too late. If you see a pretty cave, dont just go wandering in there, no matter how tempting it might be lol.

@@chemicalwonderland2492 True, read the story of Floyd Collins, even simple caves can kill.

"Get a load of all these pre-filled Glory Holes. I have Came, in the right place." Most Humans.

Fascinating! Thank you for sharing your observation.

I believe that depends on a lot of factors, but one of the most notable ones might be the fact that all of those items are made of narrow metal bars and thin metal wire or rods. Importantly, nothing larger than a tree trunk and often with enough space for branches to wrap around. Note a tree planted too close to an outdoor canopy, something that would take a lot of force to hold up, let alone push. The tree will avoid it altogether.

@@devonstaggs9470 I don't get your point: most of these things were bigger than the tree/or mushroom, when it started growing, but there are also many hedgerow trees you will find with fence wires right through them. I've seen pictures on line, of bikes sticking out of trees they were supposedly lent against and forgotten, but I'd have to double check they weren't photo shopped these days. On an atomic scale, you might like to read up on the physics of policemen and their bikes, in Ireland, in Flann O'brien's surreal musings in his 'The Third Policeman'. The BBC did a very good reading of it that you should be able to find, too. :)

They do disturb things given enough time,😂trees fall on buildings daily, roots break into basements or break up concrete, some trees got some force after a couple decades

That's a kind of bias, if you will. These 'funky' trees are often left standing specifically because of their funky look/way they wrapped around stuff. As a non-mobile organism a tree needs to deal with what it was given/where it is growing. Additionally, they can't really choose all that well in what direction they grow to and that flexibility will differ between species. Some can deal with leaning a bit... others really can't. Gymnosperms for example are quite 'basic' when it comes to the structure of their wood. They tend to have a very clearly dominant 'tip' and can reach intense heights by going straight up. And they will grow around other stuff like crazy - because it's the only possible way to stay stable. The drawback is: these points of enclosure are a wound. They will always be a possible entry point for pathogens and a weak point in the next storm. So the plant would rather not... but has to. Angiosperms on the other hand... they will just push through rock and burst it, if they are adapted to life in a rocky place with little soil. Or just die if they prefer something more mulchy... plants come in so many versions and with so many abilities... it's pretty much impossible to say 'trees do xy' and not leave some of them out. Mushrooms are different though. The parts we see/eat are functionally more similar to fruits, not 'the main organism itself' and are pushed out within days. They grow by piling on cells on top and of course anything they'd have to 'push up' would mean more energy has to be invested... so they don't. They don't care about stability long term. So it's very different from trees. TL;DR: some do, some don't, people like them so they leave them to be happy about their exisetence.

Oof 😅

Underrated comment! 🤣

John Scoggin lol "Not Hank"

Might I suggest a hobby? :D

John Scoggin you wrote what I was thinking, thank you for this! 🤣

Well... it is a compilation, so, each location is taken from different video.

But, have you considered, Why?

Can we start burying them back down

That's no good way to get iron in your diet, ComaDave!

I wondered if someone would say that. Nailed it !

Thanks for the update!

Nice

hell yeah, you go selenite crystals

Thanks for the news. Selenite is beautiful.

That makes me happy

What about cave of swords

Austin Davis that’s more black metal tbh

Wèwwwwwwwww E aå

You do that. Also love that you called this a documentary.

Also would work for metalcore bands trying to sound like heavy or death metal bands

It was very frustrated, I wanted to see the fascinating places and things not him. I'm good with his narration but surely it would have been easy to download some pics.

So frustrating. Watching an amateur narrator put emphasis on every syllable rather than the images or video of what he's talking about is so weird

Exactly my thoughts. I particularly wanted to see wider shots of the weird forests.

They don't have their own images. They are cheap bastards. That wish to become rich

Agree 100% with the original post. More pics of the places. You can talk I. The background

Called a krummholz.

We have that here in Colorado too. It happens mostly with the aspen trees, but now and then you'll see some pines that are that way too. There used to be lots of Krummholz near or above tree line, but most of those have been taken by tourists and commercial interests who want to make lamps, coffee tables, and other junkie stuff out of them. Kinda sux. They were nicer in the wild, and were places where alpine birds used to nest.

Yeah my trees are curved from snow also I walk around and braid or twist the small ones if they are super close together one day some one may do a show in that lol.

@@bitkrusher5948That’s pretty knotty

This theory makes the most sense

"Most metal thing I have ever heard..." *Tomas Haake's calves would like to know your location* "... right after Meshuggah" *..... False alarm.*

Al red blooded lifeforms breathe iron since iron in our blood is what lets it carry oxygen around the body.

@@cookeymonster83 that's an entirely different process though. Eg you've got crabs with blue blood because they have copper instead. As the dude said, the bacteria reacts with the sulfur and iron in such a way that it essentially "breathes" them externally

Seeing meshuggah in the top comment made me so happy haha

I believe the measurements match up as well

All we need is to convince some billionaire to fund digs there in the name of immortality via historical humanity discovery. That is, unless the billionaires already know more about some stuff related here that we common folk can't afford to pay for the knowledge of...

@@jimr9499 you and your logic and sound reasoning, pffftttt!!!!

I found a small spot maybe 50 foot around like that near Guerneville, Northern California. Not only were all the trees bent 90 degrees with a spiral twist before going up again. Standing in that area I could lean toward the East without falling down.

The pumps pumping water out of the cave were turned off and the cave was allowed to flood again in 2015. Two years before this video was uploaded. Odd he didn't mention it. The cave is now once again inaccessible to people, and the crystals have no doubt resumed their happy crystal-growing-ness.

@@RS250Squid I think this person was talking about the other cave that had a bunch of strange organisms. Since it had been closed off for like 5million years, I imagine introducing new microorganisms and life by leaving it open could wreak havoc.

Sounds like you're just afeared of translucent spiders

um screw that ecosystem, seal it back up to preserve OUR ecosystem from those kaiju spiders in there

@@ottebya They did

That was a picture of a giant water bug, not the water scorpion that is found in that cave. They do look similar though, if you look up pictures. You were feeding giant water bugs - if you see one again, do be careful, they have one of the most painful bites of any insect.

You're a crackhead

For real. I would much rather have sat through this and saw photos of what they were talking about, than watching them express their extreme nerd rage (LOTR, Vampire Diaries, medieval times, organic chemistry....hmmm....).

@@YTjennifer how about you put the effort in to finding the FULL length videos, instead of complaining on a 5 YEAR OLD compilation. Will probably be a better use of your time

I think its an absolute at this point, that there is life elsewhere within our own solar system. Its just a matter of time before we find it. Mars, Venus, Europa, Ganymede, Enceladus, Titan, etc.....who knows? It seems life finds a way, regardless of conditions here on Earth.

Let me know when you go to buy one, I'll throw in and we can order in bulk. South Florida has me feeling like I would in that cave.

@@drewg4323 Having fires in an already polluted place might be a health hazard?

@@SkunkInARug Are you high??

@@drewg4323 With none of the due respect, what is that suposed to mean? Perhaps my answer was stupid and illogical, but none of us will ever know the answer as to why there are no flames. With the description of workers not following even basic health standars, i speculated that they decided having open flames was too dangerous, which isn't that big of a stretch. At no point was i ridiculing you or making fun of you, and I'm sorry if it came across that way but your response is really weird and illogical.

@@SkunkInARug They could have said "oh we had to leave early" or "oh it only happens in the right conditions" or "oh we weren't in the right area" or...actually, nevermind, you'll figure it out someday. Though, you seem extremely high strung, maybe you SHOULD get high to knock you down a few pegs.

@@owenf2835 One man's comic relief is another man's picky. C'est la Vie.

Surely they already are they just won’t be reporting it

Unless you are planning on funding that research, they are probably going to stick with the most likely places for life. Even as wild as these places in the video are, they are still on our life filled planet.

To be fair, I doubt the researchers have anywhere near the funding that NASA has. If only there was more interest in the cave that could lead to public funding and innovations in suit technology.

@@orchdork775 Yea, still I'm sure they probably had some decent funding if they at least had a refrigeration suit. But still, space is a lot more hospitable than some places on Earth, like deep underwater, or underground. Which is kind of weird.. And it's also about long term priorities, like, space is our eventual future and so probably has a higher priority than some dusty old cave.. :-)

A cold vacuum is easy to handle. Keep the air in and warm up. But nothing compares to the challenge of getting into a hot place full of corrosive chemicals. For extra fun add some radioactivity. Cooling is way harder than heating and corrosive chemicals limit your choice of materials for sealing.

Wow that’s really cool! I’ll have to look into that, thank you for sharing :)

@flibbertygibbet How very interesting! I just looked up about your Indian Trail Trees and it's fascinating.....

Not to be a know-it-all, but maybe you meant Socotra?

Master Therion The internet is no mere place. It is an idea. It is a shared thought process, where stupidity and genius are applauded. Where dank memes fight for relevance, and news both true and false spread faster than a fungal infection. Where your deepest, darkest fantasy is fulfilled and shared. And where you can find hope and despair in minutes. It is a dream that has been achieved. But yeah, Madagascar is cool too.

Yeah, Socotra's like another planet

JellyfishOverlord WOW! Those trees are amazing. I was unfamiliar with Socotra, thanks for telling me about it ^_^

Just supports the theory that those shapes were manmade as well (but forgotten about before they got rediscovered)

He just explained in detail what it is, Atlantis was a mythical city in a story created by Plato it never existed it was a fictional place.

@@WokeandProud To add to that, the most likely contestant of Atlantis would be the Minoans as they were so far ahead of the surrounding civilizations, but they almost vanished over night, as the volcano on their main home island erupted and practically blew the entire island apart, sunk several cities and sent a tsunami across the Mediterranean, which is also the largest body of water that Plato would have known of. The Eye of Sahara would already have dried up long ago at Platos time. The story of Atlantis fits best on the disappearance of the Minoan civilization, but the vast majority of it is for sure made up. And for a good reason, as fantasy has a tendency to stay longer in peoples minds than reality. Religion is a perfect example of that.

I don't think the ocean, if it was freshwater, would remain non-salty for long. Considering that there are landlocked lakes that are as salty if not saltier than the ocean, salt accumulation is just part of the environment.

I thought the ocean was freshwater first then billion years of rain washed the salt in the dirt into the ocean; hence the ocean becomes salty. Am I right?

Well if the ocean was freshwater we'd be in an eternal ice age since ocean currents wouldn't exist since they only work due to the salinity of the water which is why melting of ice caps is a big concern because if ocean currents are disrupted we could start another ice age, ocean currents transfer heat all over the world

And the numerous species we kill everyday :(

There was once a philosophy about why we should care about the ants in the dirt or the worms in the ground. We have all stepped on an ant? Or we all have used a worm as bait? If not literally, figuratively.

sofaking onmynuts I try to not step on ants or any other things that are alive .I hardly ever wear shoes and I have heaps of worms in my soil and if I see one in an unsafe place like where on about dig I move it and if I accidentally hit one while I do the gardening I feel really bad I even relocate poisonous spiders and I'm scared of spiders not to mention I live in Australia and we got some really poisonous things crawling around here but I don't kill them either if I can possibly help it . I've mostly found spiders to be quite agreeable usually unless it's mating season or it's a female with a nest .
