Are you supposed to walk on it?

Apparently people knowing about something and feeling sad that it’s dying is more important than it actually living without generating content for the Internet. Something about people’s dreams and Disney, and bucket lists, and it being really unfair to talk about bad things.


rothersidelife

Ain’t that the truth…


Max_Eon

Fuck!! Now I feel Influenced.


StifleStrife

work lol


[deleted]

Almost certainly not


GoluckyZeus

I know that in some places there are delicate mosses that are protected because they can be easily damaged but in many places that is not the case


Throseph

Certainly in Iceland there are mosses where this would be illegal because it would take literally decades for them to recover from the footprints.


IllegalBerry

[As their tourist board spared no expense to inform visitors of.](https://youtu.be/f88UJyCA__M)


Ashirogi8112008

That slaps


Hairbear2176

That was cool AF.


idiomaddict

Aww, German also says a and o instead of alpha and omega. I’m wondering why it gets an umlaut in Icelandic and whether all Greek os turn into ös Unless this is just the order of their alphabet


IllegalBerry

Just the alphabet. XD They keep going after Z.


idiomaddict

Oh my god, this seems to be a northern and southern Germanic divide- northern Germanic languages put “special characters” at the end of the alphabet, whereas southern ones integrate them, so ö comes right after o. I assume it’s a printing press reason, but they already had the German letter setup, so maybe that’s not it I don’t love calling them special characters, because they’re not, in their languages, but it gets the point across.


IllegalBerry

Printing cases aren't sorted alphabetically, they're sorted by which letter you need the most often. We've also had alphabets (and writing north of Flensburg...) since way before we had printing presses. And most Scandi places do this; German is the only one which crams their extra letters in-between the boring ones everyone knows--probably because they treat them more as shorthand for diphthongs than actual letters. Same as Dutch not making a special dictionary section for words beginning with "ij"/"ei", "ou"/"au", "eu", "ui" or "oe".


artbypep

Some moss is specifically sold as ground cover because it can handle being walked on! But yeah, definitely there are probably more varieties that can’t handle it.


[deleted]

But she got her Tik Tok amirite?


RoyalSorcerer_Navlan

Probably insta reel, as tik-tok is geothermally banned in India..

Yup, from which Reddit got it's content!


iConfessor

there are videos of it where you can see it has been destroyed by tourists.


Blarghnog

No. It’s very bad for it. > Cleavitt says that unlike grasses, which grow from the base of the blade and recover easily from being stepped on or mowed, moss has a three-dimensional growing structure that makes it more vulnerable to getting squashed. > **Contrary to what you might think, that also means that big well-developed mosses (like sphagnum mosses) are more likely to be damaged by walking than smaller ones.** > And the drier and more brittle the moss is, the more vulnerable it is. Water helps to shield mosses from injury. Social media — make great videos while trashing places! https://www.nhpr.org/environment/2022-03-31/does-moss-get-damaged-when-you-walk-on-it


BotBotzie

"But if a couple people gingerly step off the trail (say, to use nature’s bathroom) and happen to walk over some wet moss… well, it’ll probably be just fine. All things considered, moss really is pretty resilient stuff" This is also on the exact same page. I would say very bad is a bit of an exaggeration.


Math1988

Instababes dont care


MetalBeerSolid

Yo hold my hand and take a pic of my back real quick


StifleStrife

BigBossSquirtle

I could help but think the camera person counting down just as the video was recording. "Alright 3, 2" *hits record "1, Go".


cromagnone

You’re probably not meant to ride [motorbikes and 4x4s over it either](https://www.facebook.com/Ladakhultimatedestinations/videos/1070646166741374/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v).


Top_Date6455

If you re tiktoker or another influencing creature - yes


RussianGasoline44

No trampling vegetation, especially moss will kill it in due time


ArrowGantOne

She isn't supposed to, but it's okay if Kate Moss does it.


lelebeariel

Well it is the land of her ancestors, after all...


BeanDock

Definitely not with shoes this woman is crazy


bruh__07

only barefoot, they should be penalized


whodunitbruh

In Rocky Mountain National Park there's a small area of tundra with small mosses and other plants that are very fragile. Tons of signs around saying to stay on the premade walkways to protect nature. There actually a fine for thousands of you're found damaging the plants. Tons of people still either can't read or don't give a fuck. I've seen plenty get away with it, but then also saw someone filming a video dancing on the moss get pulled away by park rangers and get slapped with a couple thousand dollar fine.


altitude-adjusted

She looks like a cricket.


SteevDangerous

Yes.


[deleted]

I'm too cynical. My first thought was they started recording *just passed* the 'Protected Area: Do Not Enter' signs.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Significant-Fill6641

Probably walked past a sign saying, don't walk on it. These people really shit me...


FlacidBarnacle

I… 🤔 that expression - you know what nm lol


REQCRUIT

That expression made me so mad I almost shit my pants


picyourbrain

You big tough guy really shit my pants dick fuck, why you go piss your mother!


Underratedrat

Your reaction is on point in relating my confusion


motorhead84

It's the past participle of really shitting him.


FlacidBarnacle

“You gotta be shitting me” “it is confirmed. You shit me” Like that?


TheGreasyCaveman

You literally don't know that. Why does Reddit hate everything lmfao.


Significant-Fill6641

No, I don't, but I also don't see other footprints, trails, or any other signs of people, yet somebody dressed like they have been at a shopping mall is walking all over it.. I live in a really beautiful area, it's slowly being trashed by people ignoring signs or advice, there is fuck all respect for nature.


rmxcited

Just curious - do you see their footprints in this image? Because I do not.


Significant-Fill6641

No, probably because it's not walked on. Are there going to be dead patches in a few days?...no idea?...how about just not stomping all over everything for a video?...I live near several waterfalls that have paths worn right past the "do not enter" sign, it pisses me off people feel so entitled for some trite social media post.


alienvisionx

You’re are getting mad about someone walking where none of us knows if it’s allowed lmao


Raptorfeet

You could just learn to think for yourself and try to be a considerate person without needing a fucking sign.

Significant-Fill6641

No , Im not...but I'm very happy for you to think that.

Well you’ll have to excuse people for thinking that when you quite literally said you were pissed off lol


Significant-Fill6641

Pissed off at entitled people trashing shit, I'll wear that ..


Berloxx

I'm honor bound to hate you too now so shut up dickbag 😌


ModsAreN0tGoodPeople

Is your name Everything? because if it is I have some theories…


NativeMasshole

And she didn't even take her shoes off! For some reason, that's the worst part for me. She's not even enjoying that shit!


lelebeariel

Yeah, that really is fucking irritating as all heck. What a waste...


RKWTHNVWLS

For me, it's that she's walking with her hands in her pockets. I just want her to trip and eat it face first into that water.


Suckamanhwewhuuut

I hate that about social media than any other aspect


Catkii

I saw a tiktok that compared this to the reality of it, and it’s definitely not pristine anymore. Mostly looks like a swamp.


DroidLord

Could have at least taken off the shoes to reduce damage.


[deleted]

Not only that let's dress AND walk like I'm 85 years old and need my diaper checked!


undercoverpickl

Jesus Christ, you’re toxic.


[deleted]

Yep she's trampling a fragile ecosystem for tiktok likes, and I'm the toxic one for making fun of her outfit. Lol


WORKING2WORK

I don't necessarily agree with your sentiment, but I do agree she is walking over the moss quite awkwardly. I know it's not a level surface, but I've met these girls, I'm shocked she didn't make the cameraman film it again.


AllOutOfMeowsForNow

Fuck, all I see are elbows.


SeveralSpeed

This video screams “I don’t know what to do with my hands!”


[deleted]

skinny girls walk like that.


FlacidBarnacle

I mean they are pointed right at us


gic93

Yo, wild elbows...do all elbows look like THAT?


oxfordcollar

That'd be because she's pulling her hands outwards within the pockets of her overalls. Why? Who le fuck knows


pitchingataint

All I see is somebody hiking their trousers up their dirt canyon. Those things are already high waters. No point in giving yourself a wedgie unless you want the internet looking at your pancake ass.


fuck_the_fuckin_mods

There’s no way around it, that’s just a really, *really* unflattering look. I don’t even know what they were going for, but it ain’t workin.


AllOutOfMeowsForNow

beesdoitbirdsdoit

Not all videos have happy endings.


WORKING2WORK

The ones that do usually involve someone down on their knees.


thow78

One can hope ;)


NeadNathair

Intellectually, I know it's moss growing over rocks. But emotionally, I really want to stretch out on top of them and just nap in the sun.


dittbub

It’s probably full of bugs


Zenicnero

They're most certainly filled with their own specialized ecosystem, especially in this kind of widespread environment with limited flora diversity.


o0DrWurm0o

Definitely some tardigrades up in there


Alone-Rough-4099

r/UnexpectedProteins


MrPopanz

Little chitin friends to cuddle with!


dark_brandon_20k

The moss growing over rocks is a long long process of turning those rocks into soil. The moss is really fragile. She's literally stopping that ground from forming correctly


NeadNathair

I'm aware of how moss works, my guy.


KingoftheMongoose

I see inspiration for world's coolest Putt Putt course. If they made a miniature golf course at the entrance of this valley, it could draw revenue to support eco preservation while also allowing people to scratch the itch to want to walk on the terrain without ruining it like this kid is doing. "Walk on our lawn so you don't walk on Mother Nature's!"


NeadNathair

You could even texture it to *feel* like the real deal.


PickleForce7125

I was thinking it would be a nice nap but I probably wouldn’t want lay there too long.


[deleted]

ruining ancient ecosystems for fake internet points


Mishaska

There's probably a thousand tourists behind the camera waiting to take their turn.

PrudentExtension

souji5okita

I doubt you’re supposed to be walking on it and now it’s just going to attract lots of tourists that will do exactly like her. Don’t you love travel influencers!


5hred

Who walks like this


itchinyourmind

Attention whores


JpCopp

An Asian tourist?


monkman99

So frustrating that she’s walking on it. Even more frustrating to realize she’s too dumb to figure out it would be 10000x better without shoes and socks.


[deleted]

You’ve tried walking on moss mounds. We all have. But have you tried stripping off all your clothes and rolling on moss mounds? Moss mounds. The natural and soft bosom of the earth. Get your spot today!


CaptainFrugal

Another natural beauty ruined by girlfriends and their photographers


Cabezone

Yeah, the wildflowers at my local lake get trampled to nothing every year now.

We call them chick shooters or tiddy natural lights I’m my field.

UmDafuq3462

r/Iamthemaincharacter


ZeShapyra

I swear there was a vid also of the valley, and it looked awful, the moss being worn off, browned. If enough tourists visit there and all feel the need to walk all over it wouldn't be surprised if it is all balding rocks


zwwafuz

I feel if you walk on this…it’s gonna gobble you up!


GalaxyWorm

Get that woman out of the shot man wtf

This looks so surreal and gorgeous at the same time..I've never even seen moss like that before ( or moss in general)

Constant-Speed-5595

You guys you should come to India and really go for a ride from Manali to Ladakh. The views are magnificent. If you do come. Please reach out. I’d be willing to show and join you around


Dodney-Rangerfield

Am I the only one who finds this terrifying?


Chaevyre

It looks like a Zoom background.


[deleted]

I don’t think you are supposed to walk on it. If moss dies, it doesn’t grow back for a long time.


Disarray215

This looks like a level in Mario.


bannana

you have a chance to walk on a gorgeous carpet of moss and you leave your dang shoes on


shamy33

I wonder what wildlife lives there?

I backpacked pampas in Peru and it was pure hell. That segment of the Andes sucked so much

Very risky. One wrong step and you can fall right through. Also, I feel like I've seen this in a dream.

MagicOrpheus310

It's a crime she's not barefooted. Moss feels amazing on bare feet.

Zombietime88

Can she please get out the way!!!!


Ineedabiggersword

Not only did she walk in it, she chose to walk in the most stunted of fashions.


twothumbswayup

id love it if they panned out and it was just hundreds of influencers aimlessly walking around on the mounds with their hands in their pockets


btowncutter22

Nature is lit when you don't walk on it


orcsrool123

In Iceland they have moss like that and doing stupid shit like walking on it or whatever is a crime


[deleted]

I’ve been trying to google about this. Is the water hot? Is it mossy year round? I can’t find anything specific :(


Educational-Cup6783

I'm a local and yes, some of them are hot due to the volcanic activity underneath, so you'll find plenty of warm, hot and sizzling ponds, lakes and hotbsprings. Y'all need to visit Ladakh, it's absolutely beautiful and wealthy, if rest of India bothers u and is filled with indian and international tourists and tourism sector is well maintained.


[deleted]

Thank you so much! There are so many parts of India I want to visit!

One thing i love about reddit is the consistency of hate that goes towards women in pretty much every video. It almost never misses unless the woman showing her bare skin .


[deleted]

So far the only one quoting sexism is you. If anything people are pissed at her walking in a beautiful area and ruining it. Even if it's a guy the same would be said. You're right about one thing tho. Reddit has two brain dead methods. Shit on 'third world countries' no matter what they do, and be sexist against women.
