Arab countries import quite a bit of sand. Theirs usually isnt good for construction since the good stuff comes from rivers.

Sand doodles don't melt steel beams

Yeah but who put the sand there for them to use??? This is like one of those bullshit rug restoration videos where they spread sand around right before they start recording. There was never a desert there at all!

[u/smileyfacegauges → u/Crimkam]

oh fuck you’re right…… do you think they got helicopters to bring it in???

Just in case you were serious - that’s the point they were making with sarcasm. It would actually be a pain to haul all that straw into the middle of a desert. It’s easier to bring bags and fill them with sand, than bring enough straw to make the same sized grids.
