11:54 That is the traditional Mongolian script that was used until Cyrillic was introduced in the mid 1900s, and its making a comeback somewhat culturally which is always really cool to see. Its one of my favorite scripts bc its an almost cursive script thats written vertically and looks really cool
Lmao the fact that I genuinely thought based off the thumbnail and title that he actually got a hard seed. Of course not. There’s no such thing as a hard seed for this man. I’ve been deceived. He is still the goat regardless
on today’s episode of plantguessr we’ll be discussing the white flowers at 6:09. this location features a field of common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum), which is grown as a crop in temperate regions of europe, asia, and the americas. buckwheat seeds are high in starch and when milled produce a nutritious, gluten-free flour. buckwheat plays an important part in the traditional cuisines of many countries around the world, including japan, china, india, poland, and russia.
Another day of Rainbolt casually holding the most individual points on the leaderboard, even denying himself points on a previous day because he didn't feel like he deserved placement. Bro is performing vs a lobby of currently competing pros. RB is just the goat!
Coloradan here. The way I can tell that that Greece isn't Colorado is because it's too vibrant lol. Colorado does get a little lush during the summer (esp. in the mountains) but in my experience it's generally sorta brown. It does look really similar though, almost reminds me of the area around Pikes Peak on the way from Denver to Colorado Springs
Even as a greek I legitimately said "no way this is greece". Like I'm so used to the dryish looking landscapes with the poorly build curvy roads, and this is the exact opposite of that
the rock on the mongolian camera actually has the mongolian writing system on it. Those cool guys got 3 alphabets to write their language, cyrilic, latin, and their own. It looks freaking cool
I googled an antipodes map (spots on the globe opposite one another) and was following along with his guesses. He picked the literal furthest land he possibly could have for most of those. Aside from the 2 point guess, the only one that wasn't nearly perfect was Santa Cruz, Bolivia when Lima, Peru would've been a little further. Being able to eyeball which places were 18,000-20,000km away on a distorted map was just as if not more impressive than knowing the original location.
