      Desert sand is too fine and smooth. Construction sand needs to be coarse and rough (not necessarily irritating, cement does that)

        Didn’t know that but yeah the sand we’re currently using for building our house is a not as smooth to the touch.

          Right, the video in the meme actually talks about construction sand, which can only be found close to rivers and sea (or mined), desert sand won’t bind to the cement for being too smooth.
