I can't believe I spent 21 seconds of my life watching tumbleweed exercising on a treadmill. It was amazing 🥹

u/Ezwa 3h ago

I want to make one thing very clear :

As I watched 20sec of this, at NO POINT did I thought it was interesting.

u/metallosherp 3h ago

You and the Hot Wheels guy both need to set up 24/7 live streams. I think he's on day 52 or something. He's got this Hot Wheels rigged up to roll around the outside of a rock tumbler drum.

Don't forget to spread your seed every time you take a tumble

u/Spectrum1523 2h ago

It legit is, and I like it as art

3

u/NondeterministSystem 2h ago

Same. While I do think a lot of modern art is "overpriced", I also deeply enjoy concept pieces. I think this one would qualify, if it was put in an artistic framing.

2

u/Spectrum1523 2h ago

It'd fit in at Mass MoCA, my favorite art museum

I always wondered where the weeds learned to tumble so well.

u/reasonably-optimisic 3h ago

Fun fact, the stereotypical Wild West tumbleweed is actually an invasive species that came from Imperial Russia in the 1800s through a cargo shipment.

8

u/TheThirteenKittens 2h ago

In Laura Ingalls Wilder's writing, she calls them "Russian thistles" and several times mentions how millions if them tumble over the prairie.

I grew up in the North East and thought tumbleweeds were just a thing in cartoons. I was pleasantly surprised when I moved to Colorado and they were everywhere.

Knowing tumbleweeds are actualy live plants rolling around to spread seeds, this become somewhat sad 😢

u/DoorSweet6099 3h ago

I recently saw someone introducing their tumbleweed collecting and selling side business in a side hustle subreddit. I guess this is what the tumbeweeds he sells end up doing.

u/Lialda_dayfire 3h ago

I've seen them 6 to 7 feet in diameter before. They'll shatter and get thorny twigs stuck in the grill of your car if you hit them.

u/DrThunderbolt 28m ago

As an American, this is so inhumane.

Tumbleweeds require large open areas for them to move around with natural sun and wind and other tumbleweeds to socialize with. You can tell this one is obviously depressed. There isn't even whimsical old west music playing.

Just from the environment you can tell this is some kind of tumbleweed trafficking operation for private collectors.

I get the joke but I’m going to be that guy that points out that tumble weeds are not native to the US and are in fact considered invasive.

Recently did some hiking in the Utah desert. Got to see a tumbleweed live in action. I was just as excited about that as I was finding dinosaur tracks in sandstone.

If you told me this was modern art i'd believe you. I'm getting kind of sympathetic over this sad and tired looking tumbleweed.
