soooo let's summarize this, we have an english video about pipes made from a material with a German name that is manufactured in Turkey... sometimes it's little things like this that sweeten my days 🤔😁

I want to get a chunk of this and make my own pipe.... It looks super satisfying to carve.

[@dinkvjr]

My thoughts exactly!!

[@jofusaurus1495]

I love how every video has the best voices for the narrator

And meerschaum is german and if you translate it word for word it just means "sea foam"

Sepiolite is a naturally occurring clay mineral of sedimentary origin. It is a nonswelling, lightweight, porous clay. Chemically, sepiolite is a hydrous magnesium silicate whose individual particles have a needle-like morphology. It's naturally occurring in batches all over the world. 😅

Such a cool process! I'd love to try carving out my own pipe!

And this whole time I was thinking meershaum was just a brand!? Lol

Insider art. Notice me. I found an ancient site and learned the art of Paleo people. It’s multi faceted, like a puzzle. It’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. ❤

[@supriyachavan4037]

Wow

[@eedobee]

You didn’t actually explain the pipe

[@arturm6621]

If i got a dollar for every time this goddamn channel calls something (insert color here) gold theyd be making videos on me

Turks or kurds?

[@biriciksebnem]

Dude, Eskişehir is Turk. Plus, stop making it sound as if we are two different nations! We are one nation and many ethnicities. This hypocricy we get from the western countries is mind blowing. I mean, try asking a Frenchman about his nationality and ethnicity; they know the meaning of both well. Nevertheless, when it comes to Turkey you feel the urge to make a statement that is false. They are Turkish Kurds if you really need a definition. Like American Indians, French Armenians, Kazakh Turks etc. Seriously, some people know neither history nor geography🙄
