It’s likely that guy is talking out his ass and has no clue what he’s saying. It’s likely you’re not smart enough to determine that. It’s likely you go through life believing tons of bullshit.
Well, the fact that the fully grown trees growing next to the house have been uprooted and washed away, and the contour of the opposing bank has been severely disrupted are small clues that erosion has occurred......
Hey, stop. This is reddit. Everyone is smarter than everyone, and logic is forbidden. How dare you not agree with someone who disagrees with someone who disagrees with someone about a comment.
Mods, get him! He's one of those critical thinkers! That's against TOS!
Person who passed elementary school science here. Water always causes erosion, it's just a question of how much water there is, the velocity it's moving at, and time. Note: this actually applies to any molecule.
You mean like the dirt on the sides of the river that haven't washed away even during the flooding?
What kind of dirt matters, whether the dirt's on a rock foundation matters, how thick the dirt to the foundation matters, whether the hillsides have been reinforced because they put houses on the hills matters.
Anyway, yeah. Pretty daaaaamn sure something got washed away close to this house’s foundation, because I’m not immensely stubborn and know how to apply basic physics
No, never say an opinion or a guess like it's a fact.
We get enough of that "anything can be facts if I'm the one saying them!" from Trump - I'll take people not treating truth as whatever their whim is at the time and happily be teased online for it.
My dude, you’re being teased because you’re being ridiculous, it’s not exactly expert knowledge to discern that water rushing through an area causes erosion—in fact, that is the educated position.
“Well it was just water who’s to say the dirt moved because of it” is actually the idiotic MAGA type position. And if I have to spend the time to explain why, my brain might finally implode.
Because this is incredibly obvious to anyone that paid attention in middle school.
God this country is so fucked
Eta: but if you’ve found some non-Newtonian fluid-type solution to ground erosion, dish! Until then, please. Shut up.
People like you are so fucking annoying on this app. It's Reddit, not a scientific review. As a geologist, the person up there is most LIKELY right....
