Who the f*** else would be able to tie all those God damn knots and figure out nautical terminology?And star charts and what the fuck a sexton is

[-] PyroNeurosis 36 points 4 weeks ago

A sexton is a religious position (not that kind of position, you scoundrel).

A sextant is a device for measuring latitude, usually at sea.

A sexton is a religious position

Honorary title for clergy who have a ton of sex?

Sextants can also give you your longitude if you have some star charts and a good chronometer

I love that this guy became a meme because he did a huge amount of work perfecting no-till agriculture, and saved waterways and farmland all over the world with his techniques.

He deserves to be remembered forever in meme form. Honest work, indeed.

I didn't know that. I honestly thought he was just some farmer from a random interview that went memey
