I see the reference but where are the papers to back up this main meme?

"Loam" gets funnier the more you say it. Try it, say it until you stop seeing the letters and just hear the noise it makes coming out of your mouth.

"Door" too.

It's a real woody word

How do you read the soil chart? What is the composition of loam? 50% sand, 20% clay, 80% silt? 150% baloney

[–] fullsquare@awful.systems 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (2 children)

nah. loam is, for example, 40% sand, 20% clay, 40% silt and it's close to middle of that polygon, on top of letter O

for example, draw a line from 50% sand point on edge to 50% clay point on edge, the first one is 50% sand 50% silt because that axis for sand is also 0% for clay, the second one is 50% sand 50% clay because it lies at the line that is 0% silt

I'm kinda stoned rn and these words are like hylogriphics to me

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

Ah, that makes more sense, thank you!

[–] Ithi@lemmy.ca -1 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I think it makes more sense if you view it as fractions or ratios.

I.e. 50/150 parts sand, 20/150 parts clay, and 80/150 parts silt would be considered loam

[–] acockworkorange@mander.xyz 2 points 1 week ago

That could work, but there's clearly a % sign in all axes.
