    I must be missing the context for this. Does Potash mean something more than Potassium or the process for isolating it?

      There’s not much context. It started with my friend showing me how he could speedrun zooming into a specific potash farm in China and then it grew into a series of shitposts

        I grew up in a small town. Things were hard. We needed to make little jokes. I learned to make my car a little funny. I’m sorry if I sent the wrong message, like I was some sort of representative or something.

        This is the dumbest thing I have heard all day and I love it. Thank you so much for keeping the internet weird.

          Lol. Thanks for that. Making silly dumb little shitposts and seeing other people make them makes my day.

          Haha, probably shoulda added some kind of context sooner. I highly recommend making a game of trying to find potash farms on Google Earth. There’s one my friend found in the desert in China where they’ve got glass boats and boardwalks on the potash farm and made it into a national park. You can see it up close on street view. There’s also some potash farms in Utah, new mexico, and Canada.

      For context, check out countrypunk’s posting history. In the last day, there’s been a lot of potash memes.
