the equilateral triangle (US) one is confusing as fuck, if you're uninformed. Basically, start with two lines, and see where they take you (e.g., 30% clay, 40% sand). The third line tells you what the remaining percentage of the 3rd textural size is (e.g., in this case, silt).

In the Right angle Triangle (Canadian one) sand and clay to derive your texture. silt is implied (e.g., solve for 'x').

gravel gets counted later, and classified as coarse fragments.

It's probably because the link takes you to the sh.itjust.works page where you're not signed in instead of opening from your local instance. Apps manage that well and there's userscripts if you're on desktop. What happens if you navigate to !coolguides@lemmy.ca manually?

Yeah, that was it. Thanks! I'm still figuring out how this crap works, despite my endless shitposting.

If you're just using a browser I'd recommend checking out !plugins@sh.itjust.works
