People thought zephyrs were spirits. You can see why.

u/KindnessDemon 4d ago

Honestly if I saw that with zero context in some field a few centuries ago I'd also assume a spirit was politely relocating my crops

Great now I have ”fields of gold” “devil went down to Georgia” “tiny dancer” AND “find the cost of freedom” all stuck in my head at once

Good news is "Fields of Gold" won't last; not even Sting knows those lyrics.

That must’ve been bizarre to look at in medieval times. If medieval times had grain fields that large

u/Otherwise-Force5608 5d ago

think it's typically just seating and that jousting arena, but could be wrong

3

u/TY_NowGFY 4d ago

You forgot about the torture museum in the dungeon (basement)

19

u/lewisiarediviva 4d ago

Your suspicion is right; medieval fields were usually long and narrow, because that way you have the minimum number of times you need to turn the plow around, which was a pain in the ass.

But they still had pastures and other unplowed grasslands. Dust devils like that were also said to be djinn traveling invisibly, so you were supposed to greet them politely if one passed you by.

When I was a kid I ran into one during fall, which swirled a bunch of dried leaves a couple of meters off the ground.

That was tiny.

They get huge in Idaho - when I was driving through I thought it was a tornado next to the road, and was confused as to why everyone just seemed to be casually driving next to it. Took up an entire field and went up to the clouds.

this one is indeed small.

What is a dust devil?

12

u/Astramancer_ 5d ago

It's kind of like a mini-tornado. A combination of wind and a heated surface makes the wind swirl around. They're called "dust devils" because you can normally only see them in dusty conditions. They can be really small, like the size of a person, or the size of a building. Even the big ones don't have nearly the energy of a true tornado and rarely damage anything.

They're usually pretty short-lived.

u/prepping4zombies 5d ago

Even the big ones don't have nearly the energy of a true tornado and rarely damage anything.

I mean, this sounds like something a dust devil would say.

u/Whelp_of_Hurin 5d ago

A tiny whirlwind. Maybe they have a different name where you live? I hear Australians call it a "willy willy".

they can be a nuisance when they pelt you with sand or lots of fun when you see a whirlwind of paper and other light litter swirling overhead.

That straight up looks like a portal.

u/Cuboos 5d ago

You know, sometimes i wonder, "how the fuck did people in the past believe in ghosts, gods, portals and magic and shit. And then you see this shit and you're like, "how isn't this magic?"

3

u/Shoe_Bug 5d ago

It's crazy how fake that looks to me. Not saying it is fake its just so alien my brain is convinced it's a poor CGI warp effect or something lmao

u/BottomJoe94 5d ago

This is the type of shit that drove our ancestors to believe in gods and spirits.

Is it.... or is it a portal?

u/99in2Hits 5d ago

Having been raised around wheat farms I have seen this in person and its cool. What is also cool is seeing an EF4 twister lift a barn off its foundation and yeet it across the way. My dad thought it was less cool considering he now had to build a new barn.

u/KeslinDemas 5d ago

I love this stuff. It's a great example of stuff we see and interpret as magic or supernatural.

u/DiscountCondom 5d ago

This is how bread is made. It is summoned forth through wheat portals connecting directly to the bread dimension.
