This is the first ever Wendover Productions /HAI video I have ever watched where I knew more about the subject matter than what was presented in the video And that's saying something because I've been binge watching both channels for two days straight
When your so rich you don't have to destroy your own eco system you can import and destroy someone else's
Imagine in 2027 people saying “this didn’t age well “
3:50 Hungary?
Ohhh, Brightside burns are tight !!!
Bruh
Hello
3:50 how da hell someone could steal an entire beach from Hungary?
Half as interesting is basically the funnier version of wendover
Use other materials... Wood... Much safer for the planet to use🤣
canals in India are filled with sand locals mine it sells it and some of then from that money wins election, and then jails who else mine sand, and then themself mine it to get money and then get more money, then to win electionat at a greater level, and stop everyone to mine sand in that are and the process go on
Uninteresting Packaged Sand (UPS) 😂
That one braniac in the back of the class: Uh..... Why don't they just put the sand in water?
That's weird, Saudi Arabia is on the list of top sand exporters.
Stop spreading lies about Saudi Arabia.
1:20 LOL, I used to watch them when I was like 10 and they said "one day we will evolve to stop having toes" and I went round telling everyone that for years until recently I realised that people with toes would have to die out for that to happen. Can't believe that shitty channel has more subscribers than vsauce (double!)
They can just dump their sand in ocean and convert it into maritime sand.. thank me later😌
The title is itself interesting. I didn't knew that Saudi Arabia imports sand!?!?!!?
Great video idea would be how much co2 is emitted from concrete. I think if it was its own country concrete would be the worlds 3rd largest producer of co2.
Next up: Why India and China import people
Bricks are imported by the CIA
"The spinny truck things" I swear no one knows what they're called.
2027, year mark noted, sand wars. Casualties report, unknown.
Next video: Why Antarctic import ice
I literally just went to the desert with my friends
Ooöoooooo
Not the year to be making productions on whats going to happen in the future
As someone who has lived in Saudi Arabia, fuck that country. No amount of money can buy you advancement. It's like giving a homeless guy billions of dollars and expect them to be something.
Omg so many hidden ads
Wouldnt it just be easier to take the desert sand and submerge it in water? and eventually it becomes like the ocean sand.
nice
Why does my country does this?
Iceland : imports ice Saudi Arabia : imports sand
I have to say the title was great but that’s that the rest was a big waist of time despite the lack of knowledge he added abundance of ignorance about Saudi Arabia I have been there and what he said about discrimination? Let just say he never opened a book and actually studied about it
This is like bringing sand to the beach... Wait, I mean stealing sand from the beach and stuffing it in your sandbox
They building BIG sand castle that’s why 😎
Capitalism is when Dino juice
It’s actually just dyed cocaine
If only humans had been around about a billion years sooner. The desert sand may have been usable
It’s not defamation if it’s true!
Lose the cringy jokes and this channel would actually be a good one
What have I gone into?
So sassy today.
"Coals to Newcastle"..
Why do we just find a way to recycle the cement or just the sand in it from old decayed building? It would be a very costly method at first like most things
Haha Brightside sledge
“You know what this map needs? It needs more sand.”
"entire beaches have been robbed from places like jamaica, *hungary*.." i see the joke there about hungary.
SAUDI ARABIA:we have sand but we want more
Too bad that can’t buy up the loose Sahara sand so we can find those older civilizations that were there before all the timber was pilfed. Looks as if pyramid building and Mediterranean warships and siege weapons stripped the shoreline changing the habitat.
Use hempcrete
Sand wars of 2027 you say
Nice jab at Brightside
Why do we import flags
2:42 Not quite right, actually they makes that rules is because in Arab Peninsula there is a lot of Sexual harassment case and Islam is very strict about the rules. I could say (Sorry) some Saudi Arabia man likes to Harassing woman, i never saw it by myself when i go there but my friends and neighbors that's went to Saudi Experience that. (Sorry for the grammar and if I offended you)
Here at the stroke of midnight on Jan 1st
They should use waste plastic instead of sand 🥺 I'm just dreaming I know 😪
Is no one gonna talk about he disrespects the whole country of Saudi Arabia??

We Saudis have gotten used to these cringe jokes 🤷🏻♂️
I'd like to imagine such a wealthy country would be able to engineer or otherwise enhance their construction procedures in order to use their otherwise too fine sand....
The amount of shade in this video, i love it
I love how explains stuff in a respectful way keep it up 👍 2:43 oh never mind

Why Iceland Imports Ice: The Sequel; Sand.
Nah they just got a sand jinkuri they gotta make sand for
tl;dw Saudi desert sand is smooth doesn't grip well so can't be used in concrete.
this video was so awesomely worded i actually hit the bell for the first time ever.
Why India imports curry
Reported for misleading information.
2:44, saudia arabia actually does that
Imagine putting your fingers through the sand
Why did you tube choose this low content video for me .
Cubic foot? What’s that in barleycorns?
How could a beach stole in Hungary if the nation is landlocked.
for some reason people robbed sand from a beach in jamaica
3:49 Hungary????
How the heck do you steal a beach lol
I hate sand.
Ya, total shortage of sand produced by water. Not as if there is a ton of shorelines and river banks, not to mention the underground rivers and water has been literally everywhere at times in the past and such. Not on this planet of Uranus. The one enviro-extremists live on in their insane brains.
The sand from Sahara is the mineral blow by the wind crossing the ocean and go to Brazil WER new forest stare grow,
For construction 👷 I BILIVE the evry sand mass be same us in UAE thy do same so build stay strong on good fundamen sandals mass be some sheaps, is Very important, WER You BULIDING on the desert,

Sensitive much?
Team Fortress 2 storyline: Redtarch and Bluetarch both work in the gravel business. They hire mercenaries (the nine classes) to fight over who gets the gravel. (there is more to it but this is probably gonna be what happens in the future)
Sand Theft Auto lol
Dude you better be careful or the saudis may unleash the religion of peace on your ass.
And Islam
💙🏴ayyyyy
2:40 Hi, it's not a gender discrimination system. It's called privacy for women from being stalked by men. We love it, we want it, we feel our daughters are safe with it and we are happy that we have it. Thank you.

If it’s not gender discrimination. Then why are women given less privileges then women? Because that’s what gender discrimination is...
I don't like to to know
Brickssssss
1:27 and What if
We can also blame China for the coronavirus
In India, it is actually ILLEGAL to build a residential building within city limits without cement/concrete. The "big cement" industry is a very real thing there, and they work very closely with illegal sand miners as well as with the government.
U r trying to put ur opinions as facts dislike 👎
