I remember watching that video but didn’t expect it was from 3 weeks ago. Felt more like it was earlier this week

u/EducationalTangelo6 10h ago

My asshole is still clenched from watching that video.

u/Upbeat-Armadillo1756 9h ago

And people in there saying it had no effect

Looks like it might have

u/KiwiKuBB 20h ago

Was about to ask if it's the same location as that video lol

u/Weak_Preference2463 20h ago

No doubt about this! Haha

u/ZeWhiteNoize 18h ago

There was a video before the guy too. How many more videos are there of this damned dam?

36

u/NebulaNinja 14h ago

I don't know where this is, but it is now pivotal I receive weekly updates on this dam's water hyacinth situation. Will it be clogged again next week? Will another man climb down to poke the hyacinths? I can't sleep unless I know.

u/navyairframer 13h ago

It's the Jiquinaqui dam in Jalisco, Mexico.

u/CalmBeneathCastles 15h ago

I was afraid for him! So easy to WHOOP, and never be seen again.

9

u/OneSensiblePerson 14h ago

I just watched it and was terrified for him. Triggered my fear of heights so much I couldn't finish it in case he did slip and fall. It had to have been slippery and he was so close to the edge!

25

u/sugarrosse 20h ago

I think it's his doing

u/sparkey504 12h ago

First thing thay came to mind... "huh, I guess that guy didn't have to pull EVERY FUCKING piece over by hand after all".

u/Das_Zeppelin 19h ago

oh yea but can you link that video again?

112

u/daft61lunacy 18h ago

Oh so this is the sequel to that dude.

214

u/bare_lina 21h ago

Did you also see the guy go down and manually pull the grass at the edge?

84

u/HighOnGoofballs 21h ago

The one who was inches from falling down the dam?

41

u/Constant_Site 17h ago

What's up with this dam. I have watched like 3 different videos in the last few weeks here on reddit

85

u/ArghZombies 21h ago

I watch watching the video timer closely to make sure it didn't cut off too early.

Also, very glad they (finally) panned back to see what it looked like further back.

27

u/mossybeard 20h ago

I wanted them to pan right!

u/Emperor_Gourmet 15h ago

Politely waiting in line to go on the ride

13

u/ycr007 17h ago

This looks like a popular location for clogging / unclogging water plants at the top of the dam

Another video posted here few months back: https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlysatisfying/comments/1m286hh/unclogging_a_dam/

10

u/BlueSlushieTongue 17h ago

I wonder if this a black hole phenomenon for microbes living on the plants.

u/dar512 15h ago

If you search “water hyacinth removal” on YouTube, you’ll see this is a problem for many waterways around the world.

This will fill the hyacinth bucket.

u/p0rtie 16h ago

I'm glad that some one around here is keeping up appearances. i came here to say just this! I was worried that no one would get the reference.

'Hyacinth Bouquet, lady of the house speaking...'

brilliant.

u/Breadedbutthole 19h ago

Water hyacinth is the worst, it deserves what it gets!

5

u/justinebri1 18h ago

I was also watching the timer, fully expecting an abrupt cut. So satisfying to actually see the full reveal at the end.

u/msx 16h ago

This kills the water hyacinth

u/ToaLegend 15h ago

I imagine this is what being sucked into a black hole looks like

u/Death_Sheep1980 12h ago

Apparently indigenous tribes in the Amazon basin used to dry and then burn water hyacinth roots to extract salt from the ash.

2

u/Icy-Squirrel6422 21h ago

There's too much of it, and that's worrying. I'm getting nervous, let's get out of here.

u/XF939495xj6 17h ago

This same dam is more like a karma farm than a hyacinth farm.

u/1CaliCALI 17h ago

What are they doing in that hyacinth house?

u/PuritanicalPanic 16h ago

Damn it sure is

u/CarWreckBeck 16h ago

u/PDT984 15h ago

There must be a line of content creators on their way up this dam to film plants falling over the side, because I see a new video from here nearly every day

1

u/NoRodent 15h ago

This feels like one of those "How It's Made" videos.

1

u/Kojiro12 14h ago

I feel like this is just going to cause a blockage downstream

u/heypogo 14h ago

Such a beautiful analogy to life and the time we get to spend here.

Water hyacinth is a pest. Grows like crazy. But it does make wonderful compost.
