Reply to comment by Haskiez in ELI5 What is the purpose of continuously spinning a lasso before throwing it? by Asian_1nvasion

What?! This thing exists in real life? All this time I thought, lasso was only a cartoon thing! I looked up some YouTube videos, and it really exists! Holy shit!

On that note, it really is quite fun explaining the Yellowstone Supervolcano to somebody who's never heard of it before. Never mind when you tell them that there are several of these things around the world, and Yellowstone isn't even the one most likely to go off first.

I like the one where the person jumps off a horse to tackle and tie up a goat. I assume the goat doesn’t like it as much as I do but it’s great entertainment.
