Yo, what’s wrong with your goats?

Oh look that's something ninjas spread on the road when they run.

You just brought back memories of my siblings and I walking around outside barefoot to the point these things penetrated our shoes more easily than our feet.

In rural southern Utah these things are literally everywhere. If you go out with cheap foam flip-flops, the entire bottom of the shoe will embedded with dozens of these seconds after you start walking around lol

Kind of oddly satisfying to pull them out of the soles of shoes tbf

I've always heard them called sand spurs, and they're the devil. Nothing in nature needs to be that sharp, ffs.

At least chestnuts have the decency to be really localized and large, despite being spikey balls of evil. These little fuckers are miniature, everywhere, and can hide in carpet for a solid six months before you notice them the one time you decide to go barefoot.

I'm so glad we don't have these where I live.

I’m glad they’ve never managed to puncture my sneakers while hiking, because god knows I’ve had enough embedded in my soles when I check.

Do you just casually have those lying around your house? What about sharp glass? Or acid pools? Or tigers?

i have lost two tires to goatsheads in the last month and i hate it
