I assume I shouldn’t label this as OC.
Damn squid, is there anything your family group doesn’t do.
And for the record, id still call it OC. Its not your photo, but you posted it first so it is “original”.
No, my whole family is as weird as me. I come from one long line of weird-as-fuck people.
I have a cousin who’s got a knighthood. He’s a physicist. He also has an IgNobel prize. He cares a whole lot more about the other one.
Its like a reverse coast line.
Sahara to Savannah.
Been to Morocco a couple of times. Zoom in on the photo
The amount of dumped rubbish is quite frankly fucking shameful. There’s a sea of plastic bags and coke bottles everywhere to the point they’re blowing all over the Sahara too
It could be such an amazing tourist spot, being so close to Europe, but the locals treat it like a giant rubbish dump. It’s such a shame
I’ve been in Marocco last September near Merzouga, at the edge of the desert. Had the same experience: looks like littering is an accepted habit.
Yes, absolutely. Tunisia too. Time for some new religous rules that’s relevant today. It should be haram to disrespect nature.
5 pieces of rubbish have been circled in a field. It would not surprise me to find 5 pieces of rubbish in a field of similar size in the US.
Yeah, they’re as bad as the US
What’s your point?
I wonder how much faster plastics break down on sand vs in the ocean… if it is faster. And does it drop below the size of a microplastic in sand.
neat!
Look at that cute biocrust!
The view from the top of those dunes. I went there in the beginning of this year, would absolutely recommend it!
Thanks, it works as a direct link on Boost, so I didn’t notice. Any hints on how best to share direct image links (also outside of imgur) would be appreciated.
The way I share is using imgchest or find random images on duckduckgo and just copy the image address and link them.
Wow! I would love to see that someday! Thanks for sharing.
Why wait? Just click his link.
Is it hard work to walk on that kind of sand?
My calves have never hurt more in my life, it was insanely hard to climb the dune. But we rode dromedaries out there, not that it’s that far.
what’s the difference between dromedaries and camels?
Iirc a camel has two humps and a dromedar has one, but that’s something I learned, like, 30 years ago, so I might be wrong.
Edit: so a dromedary is a one humped camel. A bactrian camel has two humps.
Open world game biomes.
Right? It’s like Minecraft or something! I thought it would be some sort of gradual buildup.
The scrubland that the photo is taken from is the gradual buildup
between the Conglian Rainforest and the Sahara.Conglian Rainforest
In Morocco?
This is definitely Merzouga in eastern Morocco.
Correction: that’s the edge of the Sahara for now.
I suppose that’s true about anything on a constantly changing planet, but it’s definitely going to get dryer the further south you go with global warming.
And north as well. Every county in the state of Massachusetts is currently rated as being in a critical drought right now.
Morock on! I would love to toboggan down those sick dunes.
Tight.
Bruh, me and my cousin once flopped on a plabdoe on the flavored side of the rocket shlim. He was all, “noooooo!” and I was all, “yoooooo!”
Sickest slides and slices I ever encountered. Slip pops were ruffin bro! I’d be buggin in the slop if I had a buggy.
I’m so sorry. :p

Why is the sand green?
Biocrust! You have some in the US too:

ah yiss motherfucking cryptobiotic soil! I love me some cryptobiotic soil. It’s cool stuff, and it looks really neat close-up. For anyone ever visiting national parks in southern Utah, please stay on the paths. It takes decades for cryptobiotic soil to build up, but it only takes a second for a footstep to destroy it.
What!? That’s neat as hell. Also stay on the paths poeple, that’s how you and the environment stay safe.
someone must have painted it
damn, we will be back in greater numbers!
Shoulda made a left turn at Tatooine
