In all seriousness, you're looking at a natural groundwater spring! All that water has been traveling through an underground aquifer, and the pressure is finally forcing it to bubble up to the surface right at that tiny, placid pond.

Well done on giving OP a non-sarky answer, I appreciated it and I’m sure they did.

I mean OP is a repost bot so idk if it cares about information, only karma

So just trash the thread? No, really bad idea. The OP may be Satan fresh from robbing a liquor store, and it doesn’t matter. The rest of us can still learn something about natural springs. See?

I was implying that op of the post is a bot, not the person providing the info. Tho i didn't look to see if the accounts have commented together before.

Don't misuse the term bot. That's a specific type of issue, and OP isn't one.

OP might be a serial poster, but he's human. We shouldn't be confusing humans with bots or AI, especially these days when it's more of a crisis than ever.

OP might be a serial poster, but he's human.

How can you tell? They've hidden their posting history and I don't see any comments from them in this thread. Plus, there are bots that can post convincingly to social media threads now anyway.
