Oh and FIRST

Wow never knew about the tumbles. Sounds like your best bet is just to do continuous fires.

My favorite thing: learning about stuff I had no idea I would be interested in.

Wow that goes straight into TIL category.

Just curious - if it’s so good, why did it not spread out of Russia into the rest of Europe. I get that Great Plains are perfect for it but it seems to have happily invaded less flat parts of the America as well. Why the same story didn’t play out in Europe?

the great London fire was actually caused by tumbleweeds

Oh wow that’s second TIL for the day. I guess maybe they just didn’t make it in the part of Europe where I grew up. Growing up I only saw them in movies and was convinced it was native to Midwest.

@cgpgrey what’s the wildest way people tried to deal with this problem that you came across?

That's a statement that would need a reference. I've never heard about the Great London fire being caused by tumbleweeds and never seen tumbleweeds in the UK

NGL, all the tumbles on the map mildly trigger my trypophobia

I loved the little farmer staring at the drone in the sky taking pictures of his tumble-infested plots. “Who is the big brother watching me? Should I be more scared of that guy than these friggen tumbles?”
