While often attributed solely to an iceberg collision, a deeper look reveals a confluence of factors that contributed to the disaster.

There was no way to save the ship at this point. What followed was chaos, as water flowed into the compartments of the ship.

🤯 Cut, Place, Repeat? The Weird Reason Behind This Sunflower Harvest!

  Cut and Place? The Secret Behind How Sunflower Seeds Are Harvested Sunflowers are beautiful, but did you know harvesting them can be tricky? Farmers employ a unique "cut and place" method to ensure their seeds dry properly and prevent spoilage. Here’s why! When sunflower heads are heavy with seeds, they tend to droop. If they go to ground, they will not receive enough sunlight, causing them to be filled with moisture. To combat this, farmers take an axe and cut the sunflowers, and place them back on the stem! Placing the sunflower back on the stem allows the flower heads to dry in the sun for about a week, preventing moisture buildup and spoilage of the seeds. This ensures that the seeds dry out properly, making them easier to separate during harvest. Once the seeds are fully dried, farmers use tools to separate them from the flower head. These methods can be very labor intensive and physically challenging. This makes separating the seeds easier, reducing loss and maximizin...
