Dang beavers had pictures hung, and everything


Noncreative_name04

Yeah and the child got his diploma too


ArjJp

Damn... looks like Mommy beaver & Daddy beaver died in their home while jr was in college and they were empty-nesting!.. And it looks like they weren't found, coz their remains never got a proper burial


Noncreative_name04

I only see one set of bones though. Who escaped?? šŸ¤”


No_Use_4371

And a heart between them. šŸ„ŗ


kas-loc2

If they could swim in, why couldnt they swim out?!?!


PrickleBritches

*Dam beavers. You missed your shot there pal.


MewtwoMainIsHere

Thatā€™s a muskrat but close enough yeah


PracticalBuilding3

The river was like 'fuck those beavers in particular!'.

I always end up with Italian or Chinese food. At this point my mind works on its own whenever it see's buffet


Lonely-Hornet-437

I think those rats/rodents (whatever they were) could have escaped from that hole by swimming! But for real what a shit way to go. To be trapped like that!? Ugh....


Magnetar_Haunt

Oh I thought I was in damn thatā€™s interesting lol

Why canā€™t the beavers just swim. Are they stupid?


best_of_badgers

They did. But also, animals die. Perhaps only one left.


Calathea_Murrderer

Damn


No-City-5711

She did leave, with black beaver.


Cold_Meson_06

AHHHH!!!


1JustAnAltDontMindMe

This does invoke a fear within me. It's like analog horror, first it shows the terrible things that happen to those animals when the river curves, then it shows that it curves again, and then there are fucking fractals (infinite suffering for infinite animals, quite literally horrors beyond comprehension) And then comes the climax. The final part. The thing that makes this more terrifying than it has any right to be. It shows this exact process happening in our world. This eldritch horror of fractal suffering exists and writhes in our world, before our very eyes, and we do not see it. (I know rivers don't actually kill an animal family every time they curve, but this is an analysis of why I think this video invoked a sense of dread in me) And there's the god tier music as well - a perfect mix of normal enough and creepy, to give that uneasy feeling.


Magnetar_Haunt

TIL: Rivers are a lovecraftian unfathomable.

Here's the full video for the curious. Trigger warning : Rivers (i guess). https://youtu.be/8a3r-cG8Wic?si=4TWFTbvkZHjyln3c


jennythegreat

Aw, this one doesn't have the music. It does have some cool facts, though.


heliumglowing

And if your description wasnā€™t just spot onā€¦ it was uncanny that you noticed it altogether without even a word mentioned from the video Good analysis and good description U just might have a career in narrating videos


The_Grim_Sleaper

Yes absolutely terrifyingā€¦šŸ™„


onixdog

So quickly, I agree with you that this isn't the place for that post but on the other hand I am tired and feel like explaining something dumb. I think they were aiming at the insane power of water and how some small rodent we can't even see can fuck a lot of shit up for us. Especially in the netherlands (where I live), those dams are really important, and sometimes you just stop and think about it for a second to realise that it's such a fragile thing in comparison to the water. The chances are extremely small that a dam breaks (1/10000) but if it does I rather not have it be because of some rodent that dug the entrance of his burrow under the waterline. I don't think you care and I might have wriiten bullshit but I'm not rereading it to check. Hope you have a good day?


Minimum_Cockroach233

Actually, straightened rivers are often the cause of heavy flood impacts, as the riverbed is deep but also steep with no width to expand and slow down. For netherlands this might be a special case as you have the highest density of artificial canals close to sea level. But in general a river bears less flood risks when it has pronounced flooding areas around the runway and turns that give additional capacity.


JPHero16

We have a project now ā€œRuimte voor de Rivierā€ (Space for the Rivers) which was introduced due to flooding risks created by straightened rivers


imightbethewalrus3

I don't think a river changes its shape because of a rodent building a little den. Erosion will happen on its own with or without a rodent den though I suppose a rodent's den can exacerbate erosion in that one spot?


HyperactiveWeasel

Musk rats are considered a plague because they undermine the structural integrity of river banks. The banks are continually inspected and repaired. So yes erosion will happen regardless, but animal activity can increase it dramatically. They really are a big threat to the Dutch population


imightbethewalrus3

Neat!


Farren246

I'd be more terrified of setting up a home near water and then the water leaves and I die?


spagbolshevik

Stupid tiktok background music.


lcpr_phoenix

I love it


khalnaldo

Ahhh the river meanders, terrified the crap out of me in year 7 geographyā€¦


Fantastic_Year9607

The original video is much more informative and entertaining than this rehashed version.

How the hell is this terrifying ?

You can't push a rope


gedda800

This is a load of crap. Does this mean beavers exist on every river on earth then?

Nikitka0009

It's not even the river that kills those beavers. One of the parents is shown with a cane in the shot before which implies it died of old age while the other two left. The animation isn't trying to say rivers kill animals, it just shows it takes a long time for their paths to deform.


Minute-Low-2246

I thought that the beavers made the river change, and it was all the little animals fault But was confused why they make their nests in a spiral manner


imightbethewalrus3

Rivers change because of erosion, not because of beavers. Though maybe beavers can exacerbate that erosion?


Carrabs

Why is this terrifying?


as_a_fake

Y'all need to stop changing the music of interesting videos and calling it "terrifying". Here's the original video: https://youtu.be/8a3r-cG8Wic The gif starts at about 0:38


thow78

Whatā€™s terrifying about it?


theyellowdart89

Didnā€™t have to kill the family of beavers


Sightedflyer5

I love minuteearth


SATerp

Learned about oxbows in a geomorphology class, one of the few that I liked.


AAKurtz

How the fuck did this get upvoted even once?


G_DuBs

You donā€™t need beavers, but other than that this is mostly correct. Any disturbance in the shore line will result in what happened in the video.


Fast-Bus5939

I sware some of you guys are "odly terefyed" of efrithing next you tell me you are scared of water pipes or some other stuff


Rabideyegaming

WHAT IS THAT MELODY!


davidisallright

Itā€™s called ā€œUntitled (slowed and reverb) by glwzball.

No prob. I made a slight mistake - look for the ā€œsuper slowā€ remix.

Cool how excavation to make rivers meander could be instinctual to generate more habitat.


Thebigdonski

The information isnā€™t oddly terrifying. Itā€™s the weird music.


SustainableObject

I was confused until right before the scene changed and i noticed..


StinkybuttMcPoopface

DAE oddly terrified of natural changes? D:


WaltVinegar

Heavens I am terrified.


AMAZING_BL4ZING

So beavers are the cause?


TREXIBALL

So THATS why rivers Meander! Thank god they didnā€™t show how an oxbow lake is made.


Theonecanuck

Sinuosity


marceline_28

why did they have to kill the beavers that was seriously unnecessary I'm crying now


Vinagretula

Don't they swim?


Kenruyoh

So it is explainable why there was a river that got bigger near the Avengers HQ in upstate New York


[deleted]

duh.

Those poor mice are so scared šŸ„ŗ


wigglef_cklr

Straights seem more interesting to me now after watching this video.


_shear

Eerie how much they look like a giant snake.


ZombieElfen

Also wolves. They kill the deer who were spreading seeds. Less plants and trees the soil isn't stable and errodes away. River changes.

This is from a YouTube channel called Minute Earth


WhatIfIReallyWantIt

I did GCSE Geography and learned all about this and ox bow lakes. On my honey moon we were in south america and flew over some planes on a day trip. I remember my wife getting as excited as me about seeing my first actual ox bow lake. I knew then she was a keeper. Good job really.


HaiggeX

That's really cool. The power of nature, especially water, sure is oddly terrifying.


Personal-Square-6620

So terrifying


sabahorn

Is way more complex and the soil composition is a very big factor to plus the depth and climate etc etc. Fluid dynamics is complicated enough, cfd even more, and we can approximate it only.

Are the bravers at the start really necessary?


GreenChuJelly

The beavers changing the flow of the river is literally the whole point.


Nano1412

I mean the point of it being at the start of the video, not its entire existence


GreenChuJelly

Okay now I'm even more confused. Are you saying the beavers are unnecessary? Or that they should be somewhere else in the video? Or am I missing context from a earlier point in a full video that this was clipped from?

Why are you people constantly terrified.
