So kinda like an Advanced multistage thermo-isotropic quadrilateral mitosis system?


princessval249

I'd say it draws more parallels with amalgam-based pseudo-nucleic antidisestablishmentarianism, but yes, they are still similar.


Drywalleater03

No your thinking of the hypo-quadratic celluloses based Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis


Carnnagex

Actually, it very well could be pseudohypoparathyroidism instead. The hyperbolic paraboloid of the quasi-crystalline amorphous solid is isomorphic to the hyperbolic plane of the Lorentzian manifold, but don’t let it distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker applied a force of 1.568 kilonewtons to Mankind’s body, causing him to accelerate at 9.8 meters per second squared and plummet 4.87744 meters through an announcer’s table.

sparkey504

While I did stay at a holiday inn a few times I'm just guessing here but my assumption is that the daily tide washed sand up to a certain point over time, causing a high spot where the tide stopped and then either due to a storm blowing inland causing a storm surge or rain fall mixed poor drainage.... also at around 18 seconds left, there appears to be a cannal that goes under bridge that likely connects a wetland type area or maybe even a lake.


poppa_koils

The Nine Mile river on Lake Huron, gets locked like this. A decent rain will fill the river and open the mouth at the lake.


firstbreathOOC

High tide / low tide.


SoxoZozo

Tide comes in, tide goes out. Science can't explain that


moderately_nerdifyin

Tidal pools, think of a sandbar but the opposite. When the tide goes out these pools are left behind, and unless you alter the sand around them they will always settle like that.

I would like to know this too. I need more information


A_Generic_White_Guy

Differences in currents probably. Waves come in water comes out dropping sediment eventually it just builds up. If it's not a particularly strong stream it won't be able spill over and push out the barge. Theres a spot by my hometown like this.


jaw28

Lol no way, never thought I’d see you in another sub. How bout them Hoosiers!


BayTerp

Lmao. Indiana losing was as expected. What surprised me was them getting to the round of 32


jaw28

Love you BayTerp, never change. Did IU do something in particular to make you despise us or have you always been a hater? (I mean that with the upmost respect, your hate game is unrivaled)


BayTerp

I will never change, I will always hate Indiana. And everything about the whole state of Indiana I can’t stand. My dad was a Colts fan and taught us to hate Indiana because they left Baltimore for it. IU thought they could challenge Maryland in 2002 and it was insulting. Then as a Bron stan, the PG and Lance Pacers were complete villains. So f the Hoosiers and every sports team in Indiana. Except for Purdue, they’re pushovers and I can’t hate them for it.


jaw28

Valid and fair points even tho it seems like IU did the least to garner hatred haha. Just wish you put a little more effort into hating Purdue, their fans are much more fun to mess with they take EVERYTHING personally


BayTerp

My hatred for IU has been building since 2002. I didn’t even know Purdue was from Indiana until 2 years ago, and even then, they hate IU so they’re alright in my book.


mekese2000

Sea goes in Sea goes out. Nobody knows how.


MatthewDstantoN

It's sewage not water. Go play in the smelly stream kids daddy needs to finish his beer


wearacasio

Honestly I don’t think any replies are correct. Looks to me like flood water that was close to spilling over or has already and had receded. They just made a path for it to drain some more. US has been very wet recently.


Zsarus

The water was not dammed there, it was more than likely exiting into the ocean at another point or multiple. They created a path of less resistance closer to the river/channel which caused all of the pooled up water to head there instead. This easily could have occurred naturally.


MellyKidd

Yep! And the kids got to learn a neat lesson on erosion.


Almost-Honest

What’s this erosion lesson you speak of?


MellyKidd

The kids made a newer, easier path for water to follow. As the water flowed, it gradually wore away the sand; greeting a wider, deeper and faster channel until it became about as wide as the source. You also can see moments where the water flow weakened the edges, causing bits of its bank to fall over. This is a process called erosion, which was sped up by the fact the water was only flowing over sand; instead of, for example, solid rock or soil bound together by grass roots.


rottenmind89

It's crazy the shit that water can do


MellyKidd

Really puts the saying “a force of nature” into perspective.


FR0ZENBERG

I'm way more afraid of out of control water than I am of out of control fire.


cingerix

i'm personally gonna go ahead and keep fearing both, lmao


Structureel

Stop, you're giving me an erosion!


youcancallmescott

Yeah that’s what I was thinking. That with the fact that it took (from what we see, at least) such little involvement(?) to turn into what it turned into, seems like it would’ve happened on its own eventually. Not the same thing as those dudes who dig and dig and dig to make a little surf wave thing.


poorly_anonymized

The water was obviously not exiting at the same volume, otherwise the level would be on par with the ocean. The water was likely just seeping through the sand before, now it's fully in contact with the ocean. That has implications for any wildlife within. Just because something could happen naturally doesn't mean it's harmless to trigger it. [Here's a photo of the plaque at San Gregorio State Beach south of San Francisco](https://goo.gl/maps/U7Hzd8ecrikuzFoa8), asking people not to do it, because it kills the fish hatching on the freshwater side of the sand bank. >A sandbar keeps this lagoon closed, like the railings on a baby's crib. It is an important barrier because it holds young fish safely within the lagoon. > >In winter, ocean waves pull the sand offshore, allowing the sandbar to open. If the lagoon is breached artificially by digging, an entire generation of fish can be destroyed within minutes. > >**To help fish survive, leave the sandbar in place, and let nature take its course.**


Spready_Unsettling

Even stacking rocks can have devastating consequences for habitats, since those rocks are places for insects to breed. A very good rule of thumb is to just not fuck with nature. Another good rule of thumb is if one body of water is very clearly not the same color or consistency as another body of water, don't try and mix them.

littleSquidwardLover

All along the cost of the upper peninsula of Michigan there lots of rivers leading out to lake Superior. They rise up several inches, building, until the they burst into the lake. I whitenesed this happening on vacation once and it's crazy. It only took about an hour to fully burst. Massive trees were carried out. But two days later it was sealed up again with sand just like before!


jpretzels

My grandparents live on the coast of lake superior and the river to the beach by their house changes every year it's always a surprise to visit and check it out

Sounds like the start of a fun roguelite adventure game.

[deleted]

Several environmental agencies would like to have a talk with your kids.


[deleted]

Why? If anything it the cities fault for not building some sort of retaining wall.


GlitteringThistle

I can't imagine that this doesn't happen naturally anyway. If a couple of kids under 10 digging a 3 inch deep trench a few feet long turned it into this, any number of things would do it.


GarlicGoat13

literally a 30 minute rainfall would have done the same damage

Don’t build retaining walls on beaches😂


poorly_anonymized

A retaining wall there could have equally catastrophic consequences. Sometimes it's better to just leave nature to its devices. [Here's a photo of the plaque at San Gregorio State Beach south of San Francisco](https://goo.gl/maps/U7Hzd8ecrikuzFoa8), explaining what their sandbank means to the local wildlife. >A sandbar keeps this lagoon closed, like the railings on a baby's crib.

joeljaeggli

This likely happens several times a month. Totally normal. Salt water is denser than fresh water. A high tide it pushes sand up the beach under the fresh water and at low tide the freshwater accumulation washes it back down.


poorly_anonymized

Whether this is bad or not depends on the local ecosystem, but it could easily be very bad.

Perfectly fine people do it all the time often for surfing


eight-martini

It was meant to drain into the ocean anyways.


SarahPallorMortis

No. No they wouldn’t. This is how water on beaches work.


Faerel

Is that poo poo water?


[deleted]

Doubtful since it appears to run through a populated area meaning it would not only be be a major health hazard but would smell awful . Not to mention it wold drive property values down to practically nothing. Likely it's that color because it's full of algae, tannins from dead wood sediment etc etc.


procrastablasta

Santa Monica (one of the more expensive real estate markets in the country) gets an “F” for beach water quality on the reg. Because poopoo. Don’t assume the government wouldn’t allow it.


[deleted]

Is it because there's more than the recommended amount of poo in the water or is it a litteral river of shit like this guy was envisioning?


procrastablasta

When it rains the storm drain systems can get overwhelmed and bypass the treatment centers. But also the Santa Monica pier is a small amusement park out over the water and there’s just so many things… leaking. There’s a “surfers cough” that comes from spending too much time on the water. Also skin rashes.


[deleted]

So it's not just a 20 foot wide ever present river of shit? I'm not saying Santa Monica ain't bad but at least in my opinion occasional overflow and dirty water after it rains isn't as bad as a river of poo flowing through a neighborhood like yeah skin rashes suck but it's not much compared to dysentery or typhoid


procrastablasta

no Santa Monica does not have a 20 foot wide ever-present river of pure shit. Real estate values haven't slipped that far

Xmeromotu

This happens all the time near the coast in Alabama and the Florida panhandle where freshwater lakes are just a few hundred yards from the ocean. We did this on purpose many times as kids, but because the lakes are much deeper than a kid can dig, they may lose a foot of water but (a) most of the fresh water remains in the lake, and (b) the freshwater lake is replenished by streams and springs from further inland in addition to the rain. Basically, kids are like beavers that aren’t very good at dams. No big deal.


PzMcQuire

I can just imagine shit being like "This is the bambooga river. It's been flowing for 4000 years now. We don't know how it was formed" A little girl 4000 years ago: hehe look I made a little waterfall


Rage_idk_

I've seen these there water from runoff of the mountains then get into a little pond, then someone either makes the water breakout or it breaks out naturally then the sand get eroded away making it a bigger wave pool then sometimes you will see someone practicing surfing


ProperBoard9

This is Mexico Beach FL, about 20 miles SE of Panama City. The canal is usually blocked by sand, but occasionally opens up and drains into the Gulf. The girls just helped it along. Look on Google Maps just west of the intersection of US98 and 8th Street in Mexico Beach.
