Sand belongs on the ground, not in my eyes and lungs.

In Ukraine we have not many of them when compared to videos from US. These are native species to our country as well but they are not in big amounts here, you can see 2-3 of them per mile when crossing uncultivated area. We call it "перекотиполе" (perekotipole) which in approximate translation would sound like "rolloverthefield". Abscense of other high grass species might been the reason why they are so numerous in US.

@JonatasAdoM 2 года назад

Do they lonely roll over in Ukraine like we see in Westerns then? It's literary the tribbles. They are controlled in their native ecosystem. Only when removed do they reproduce out of control and become a real problem.

OMG I just realized that ghost towns always having Tumbleweeds in media is symbolic of more than just the emptiness and destitution of those towns. It's symbolic of WHY it's a ghost town. Crazy how just a bouncing tumbleweed can suddenly say so much. Almost like "the cat that ate the canary" sort of way but more brazen. The tumbleweed tells the tale of a growing town gone backrupt due to cruddy harvests driving away the farmers to more fertile land which removes something from the local economy causing some others to leave etc etc. That just added so much detail to that rogue plant turned trope. If that even makes sense. I'm rambling..thanks for the wonderful video CGP!

@ColdFuse96 2 года назад

5:18 The way I always plant my crops in Minecraft is by setting up a grid of trenches filled with water and then planting my crops in the squares of land within them, and one time I was experimenting with flaming arrows (long before they were a thing in Vanilla Minecraft) and accidentally set one of these patches on fire, but fortunately I had those water trenches to keep the rest of my crops from catching on fire. I never realized these trenches were a real farming technique that people use to prevent a thing that happened to me in Minecraft IRL 😂😂😂

@JamesNewham Год назад

I kind of do want to tell you that if you’re not experimenting with fire, you can have a 9x9 grid being watered by a single block of water, which you can fill in with a slab so you don’t fall in it. That’s an 80:1 ratio of crop:water.

Me and my mom used to live in a small town in Colorado, relatively near the western Colorado desert, which in case you don’t know, is infested with tumbleweed. And a true testament to how far they can travel is the nearest tumbleweed inhabited area was about 2 miles west of us. And we still occasionally had tumbles rolling down the street. And one time one literally attacked me, it *curved* towards me and slammed into me. It hurt like hell because as you said they are mega thorny. But I walked away with zero lasting damage, watch out, tumbles are mean, and they absolutely have a mind of their own

Back in Idaho a few years back, I was driving home on a windy Wednesday night with a 5 hour journey into Oregon the following morning. Tumbleweeds were blowing all over creation and a MASSIVE ONE flew right in front of me with no room for me to swerve. My truck has a decent lift on it, so I thought I'd be fine. But as soon as it went under, I lost all power steering and most of the warning lights came on. That thing took off my serpentine belt!!! Spent about an hour I didn't have getting it back on in a Burger King parking lot, the tensioner was not being friendly. But I got it on and that belt is still there today. I drove into an adjacent walmart and upon further inspection found out it had lodged itself underneath my rear axle. Fun times, and I still made it to Oregon the next morning

I was hanging out with my cousins, making a fire and just having conversations. When one cousin took a tumble weed (about a meter in diameter) and chucked it into the fire. Everyone had to take a few steps back from the fire since it was so hot, so big, and so bright. It went up instantly… it was so bad we even asked if he put lighter fluid or something on it. After learning about tumbles (and me memory fresh in mind), I also share the hatred of tumbles and understand their dangers.

@DPMixing 4 года назад

Ryan Scheel Also too many people don’t correctly wash their hands in an effective manner to maximize the removal of germs. There’s been observational scientific studies by authorities like the USDA and NIH that estimate anywhere between 90-95% of people don’t wash their hands properly. So there’s a good chance even if you do wash your hands, you aren’t actually meeting the effective standards of national health authorities because the majority of people don’t. The most common error seems to be not washing hands for long enough. Most of us do wash our hands with good hygiene intention but just aren’t doing so for long enough as we’re just trying to get in and out of the bathroom quickly.

It's *not even* a microscopic threat, and yet it spreads hilariously fast and a single seed making its way through a boundary is enough. When you look at it like that, it's a miracle we hadn't yet been wiped out by *some* disease our immune systems can't deal with...
