Semi-related: Worked as a landscaper during my youth, one of my first jobs

I used to think that the line patterns mowed into grass were a purely aesthetic thing.

It turns out, the lines are mowed in a rotation to prevent wearing out the grass and causing damage. First you mow length-wise, then width-wise, then diagonally, finally diagonally in the opposite direction, before cycling through again.

Useless information for you today.
