I see you have never encountered a goat head.
Yo, what’s wrong with your goats?
Tribulus terrestris is an annual plant in the caltrop family (Zygophyllaceae) widely distributed around the world. It is adapted to thrive in dry climate locations in which few other plants can survive.
The caltrop family? Really?
Chicken or egg?!
I don't really fancy standing on either.
Oh look that's something ninjas spread on the road when they run.
i have lost two tires to goatsheads in the last month and i hate it
You just brought back memories of my siblings and I walking around outside barefoot to the point these things penetrated our shoes more easily than our feet.
In rural southern Utah these things are literally everywhere. If you go out with cheap foam flip-flops, the entire bottom of the shoe will embedded with dozens of these seconds after you start walking around lol
Kind of oddly satisfying to pull them out of the soles of shoes tbf
I've always heard them called sand spurs, and they're the devil. Nothing in nature needs to be that sharp, ffs.
At least chestnuts have the decency to be really localized and large, despite being spikey balls of evil. These little fuckers are miniature, everywhere, and can hide in carpet for a solid six months before you notice them the one time you decide to go barefoot.
I'm so glad we don't have these where I live.
I think you're thinking of sand burrs. Which I'm pretty sure are different, but also fucking nasty plants. They end up in our poor dogs' paws late summer/early fall. If I could eliminate any plant. That one.
Lovely, I'm glad there's more than one of these hellplants.
I’m glad they’ve never managed to puncture my sneakers while hiking, because god knows I’ve had enough embedded in my soles when I check.
I have lost many bike tires to these guys over the years.
Do you just casually have those lying around your house? What about sharp glass? Or acid pools? Or tigers?
They come into the house on your clothes, your shoes, my dog's fur. Yes they end up lying around the house. The number of times I have stepped on one barefoot in the middle of the night is far too high.
But why do you leave power cords lying around?
Keeps me on my toes.
And off of them if you fuck up, I'd imagine.
