Rub some dirt on it, you'll be fine

I soiled my pants. Does that count?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Can you soil my pants too??

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

All the cool kids soil each others pants.

Miles Davis? Is that you?

At the end of my geotech class the Prof put up a joke slide that said something along the lines of "now you should know the difference between soil and dirt". We all looked at each other because no one knew. He didn't teach us that. He was also a shitty Prof.

Too true. “Dirt” is a swear word in the ag world 🤣

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago

It’s scientifically meaningless outside of “unwanted debris.”

Also in geotechnical engineering.

In all seriousness it was only a few weeks ago that I heard about a teacher in Bangladesh that did actually shoot one of his students in the leg. He apparently always brought a loaded gun into class with him in his bag.

Shot him in the knee, he'll never walk normal again..sounds super reasonable

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago

Wow. I thought maybe an accident but no...and he hasn't been fired yet?? Insanity

How would they feel about the signs you might see driving out in the country here that say "clean dirt for sale?"

How the hell can dirt be clean?

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Most of the signs meaning that I see say "Clean fill for sale" meaning fill dirt. They know big AG isn't one to fuck with.

Dirt can be clean if its not polluted with fuel oil or other industrial contaminants. The last thing you want to put on your yard for ground leveling is a truckload of whatever earth is coming out of the closest EPA superfund site.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

This.

They are meaning free of contaminants. Take that sign with a grain of salt, and always soil test, particularly if you intend to grow anything.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

What if I wanna grow a third arm and tomatoes that scream at the sunrise?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's more of a "die slowly from heavy metal toxicity" thing.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Clean fill is also usually free from any large rocks that would make shoveling difficult.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Thank you for the clarification.

It's still funny to me that dirt which is dirty per definition (maybe even the dirtiest substance of them all, one might argue) can be clean.

[–] 5C5C5C 1 points 6 months ago

I feel like this is rapidly approaching the "is water wet?" conundrum.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 months ago

You haven't been around really dirty dirt.

I was watching Top Chef the other day and one of the contestants kept talking about the "chocolate soil" he was making as part of his dish. He must have repeated that phrase "chocolate soil" at least 10 times because he thought it was really clever I guess. All it did was remind me that any time someone uses the word "soil" in the context of food all I can think of is poop. Like a soiled diaper or something.

It ended up really grossing me out

I don't know why they wouldn't just call it something else...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

Honestly, deserved
