I have a bunch of old journals and folders from childhood, where i collected, dated, and stored all the 4-leaf clovers i'd find at school, in our yard, etc. Hopefully it's just as good luck to hoard them.

My daughter and I were looking at clovers this morning while waiting for the bus. And I thought I wonder why people look for these shamrocks. We almost finished this video and the bus came. Very helpful and fun for me and my 4th grader.

@@stevenutter3614 There’s no verifiable evidence to prove nor disprove any correlation between the 2 events. While I ever so astutely picked up on your sarcasm (don’t think I take issue w it, I’m a big proponent of it myself) I’m just gonna leave it up to any individual who hears or in this case, reads about my multiple 4 leafed clover/pretty serious car accident experience to decide for themselves what to think about it. I am somewhat superstitious myself but not really on the luck of 4 leaf clovers even though I do still find myself poking around clover patches from time to time hoping to find one so I can put it in the big family Bible & forget about it for a few years🤣

@sergeystadnique2393 That may be true. But, during the pandemic, I did extensive research about common weeds and wild plants that are edible. I've even learned about medicinal plants. For example, Verbascum Thapsus, commonly called Mullein. It's a wild medicinal plant that's used for a variety of respatory ailments.

@2:44 It is theologically incorrect to say that the Trinity is three "people". The word "persons" (not "people") must be used. This is because of the distinction in Greek between hypostasis and prosopon. The term hypostasis refers to the inner person whereas prosopon refers to the external. Christianity teaches that God is 3 hypostases/persons, not 3 prosopa/people.

shouldn't there be some biological explanation for >3-leaf clovers by now? like, is it a random mutation? is it actually good or bad for the plant? i have a feeling that 3 leaves is probably the optimal resource-to-photosynthesis conversion for the average clover, since it is by far the norm, and that 4 leaves is probably suboptimal but not by too much.

It's possible it's not selected against because that minor difference, i.e 4 instead of 3,has literally almost zero effect on the plants fitness.

They're more common than that, because I find them all the time. It's more like how common is red hair among humans. It's basically non-existent in Asians, but only uncommon in parts of Europe. Likewise, the white clovers that have rhe distinct circle or rounded square line on them like the one in this video, and are the common green color have fours pretty often, I'd say 1:500, so it's not too hard to find a bigger one in a good patch. On the other hand, I have tried my luck at ever finding one among clovers that have leaves with a more blue hint, or other striking features, and have never seen one. I have found five-leaf clovers among the standard white clovers with the circle/square line on them. Also, leaves that are long and pointed have four the most, with round/oval being a little rarer, and the more desirable heart shaped leaves the rarest, but the shape of the leaf has less impact on rarity than the color. The mistake of 1:5000 or so occurs when you look amongst the boring, plain, green clovers without the line on the leaves. Also, the line helps to find them, because a more symmetrical four-leaf clover will stand out, if the lines on the leaves form a square.

a god with different faces or manifestations is truly a cool concept. in the world of Game of Thrones, the main religion of the Seven Kingom is that of the Faith of the Seven. most people in that world understand it as there being seven different gods, but acording to the the priests, it is only one, and each of the seven is no more than a different reflection of it, which is sybolized in the typical seven pointed star and the seven colors of the rainbow they use as the religion's symbols. human ingenuity is truly something else.

This doesn't sound right to me. The superstition that four leaved clovers bring good luck is a belief that is wide spread beyond Ireland. If it did truely originate there and originated there recently, this wouldn't have happened. It might be a Celtic belief but it must be certainly very old.
