For Tumbleweeds, Death Just Gets The Ball Rolling

[@deadlydingus1138]

I once saw a picture of a house that had gotten nearly completely buried in tumbleweed and I remember it being the most hilarious thing.

[@nocturnalexecutive3107]

Do you also feel sorry for Ivlis?

[@Toomuchbullshitt]

Imagine having to dispose of them by hand without gloves. Ouch!

[@griffingamer8624]

Texas plains are perfect for them, that house in the photo you're talking about is outside my city area.

Here in the center of South Africa, we have a region called the Karoo, and the tumbleweed is also present here, rolling and tumbling happily along

[@hawkfeather6595]

In some areas of the Karoo they’re everywhere! When I lived in SA I went between Cape Town and Durban area a lot. It was a sight to see as we drove through the Karoo and also see some cool mountains and caves. Such a beautiful place.

They are incredibly invasive, pull them out when their young to help reduce numbers. Honestly it can be a job itself doing the work as there are many. But it needs to be done to make sure they don't outcompete other native plants.

Strangest place if seen one was near an on-ramp in the Downtown L.A. area. So random 😅

If you've ever driven down the highway when a bunch of tumbleweeds are coming at you, they seem like a charging herd. They also explode when they hit your car, and have a similar impact feeling as a small bird. If you've ever played the game serious sam, that's how it feels driving down a highway being "attacked" by tumbleweeds....
