The problem with rivers on plains is that they wander. Take a gander at the Mississippi River river valley sometime. Why hasn’t the mighty Mississippi carved a canyon yet? Because there has been no uplift to lock the river in place for long enough. The Colorado cut the grand canyon because the plains on which that river used to wander began to uplift. This started the cut. The faster the uplift, the faster the cut. Nick has another one on the hells canyon geology that showcases this really well. Hells canyon is deeper than the grand canyon while being only half the age.

The other part you’re talking about is massive erosion, and frankly the vast majority of rivers just don’t have the energy to do that. You’d need APOCALYPTIC amounts of water to carve canyons like that. That kind of canyon is called a coulee, and was formed during the last ice age floods. Nick does a LOT of ice age flood stuff too. He does a whole breakdown of how rivers have moved and interacted through the geological changes in the PNW over the last very very long goddamn time.

Fascinating that the riverbeds of the past can be the mountaintops of today.

Nah the rockies were made by continental drift. Kind of. It’s complicated.

I’m surprised people keep mentioning Gavin. As a Californian, it’s always been glaringly obvious that Gavin got gissues.

Wait till you hear about Christians.

I enjoyed gwent in Witcher 3 more than the story tbh. Did not enjoy the standalone gwent spinoff they eventually made.

I kind of have the same gripe about Minecraft as you do about Stardew. Not only is it stupid, but it looks like utter shit. The only redeeming quality is being able to do stupid shit in a virtual space with friends. Gmod does all that and more, except better in every way that matters.

Porque no Katie Porter?

Clearly the only way to be sure is to destroy Arizona.

Buckle up buttercup we doin ROCKS

At least they keep it close to home. Chineses slaughtering Chinese adjacents is a popular pass time when they’re not too busy slaughtering each other. The only thing more dangerous to the Chinese than other chineses is literally every single culture they have interacted with historically across all time. Because they’re such swell folks.
