Akshually thats factually untrue 🤓

Stick. No question. No hesitation. That’s a damn good stick.
Jilanico@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Once you got the stick, ain’t nobody gonna tell you that you can’t take the rock too.
OneWomanCreamTeam@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
Rock for sure. That thing would make me happy every time I see it for years. The stick is neat but I’m probably just gonna break it by accident.

Oh no. I distract my wife and take them both?
natecox@programming.dev 7 months ago
Is there any other option? There’s no way to just leave one of those behind. It is just unthinkable.
jaybone@lemmy.world 7 months ago
It’s ok. I’ll distract your wife.

I want the stick, but I know the rock is all around more practical.
Empricorn@feddit.nl 7 months ago
I understand that this is a hypothetical scenario. So please, educate me on how taking a rock vs a stick being practical isn’t a wildargument…
Sabata11792@kbin.social 7 months ago
Honestly, people might judge me for carrying a stick out of the woods, a rock can get stuffed in my pocket. The stick will eventually lose its charm and just be in the way. The rock is small and can be forgotten and not be in the way.

You can use the rock as a crude handaxe to crush and cut things, such as reed fibers to tie the wooden sticks of your hut together. You can make do with plenty of subpar sticks, but a subpar rock is going to multiply the work it takes to get a roof over your head.
BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I’d argue stick is more practical. You’re already outdoors, stick gives you walking aid, brush clearing, spider web first defense, potential weapon. Even non perfect rocks are useful but a great stick is mikes ahead of a wonky one.
jaybone@lemmy.world 7 months ago
The rock would make a better weapon than that stick.
SharkEatingBreakfast@sopuli.xyz 7 months ago
Stick.
Stick can go “swoosh” when you swing it.
kogasa@programming.dev 7 months ago
I’ll take the stick and use it to make you give me the rock.
Dippy@beehaw.org 7 months ago
You’re going to risk breaking the stick for the rock?
kogasa@programming.dev 7 months ago
It’s a perfect stick, it cannot break, look at it
ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
I’ve already got a perfect stick so I’d go with the rock. If I did not have my perfect stick though, rough choice. That’s a damn fine stick
dumbass@lemy.lol 7 months ago
Stick, I’m better at swinging than I am at throwing.
ma1w4re@lemm.ee 7 months ago
Stick, I love swords
qwertyqwertyqwerty@lemmy.world 7 months ago
EZ. Stick.
morphballganon@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Bruh the rock is coming regardless. The only question is whether you have room for the stick too
If you don’t have room for the stick inside the house, leave it next to the back door
nyhetsjunkie@beehaw.org 7 months ago
No thanks, I’ll keep my bones
blackfire@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Rock. Look at it.
tacotroubles@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I already have a pretty perfect rock. But a perfect stock is a rare find. I think I’ll take another rock
EdibleFriend@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Rock. Then I use it to crack the skull of the dude who took the stick and now I have both.
misterundercoat@lemmy.world 7 months ago
The rock of course. Why would you want a stick that has the thin proportions of a sword? A thin, lightweight sword only works because of the sharp blade. A “perfect” stick would be more of a straight pole, or have a heavier end for bludgeoning.
Lucien@hexbear.net 7 months ago
I would be sad about leaving either, with full blown buyer’s remorse for the other one. So knowing me, and agreeing with the other commenters about taking only memories, I’d probably opt to leave both and smile that I found them.
VelvetStorm@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Depends on where the rock is from or what kind of wood.
Kacarott@feddit.de 7 months ago
If there is a body of water nearby then rock, otherwise stick. Getting a perfect skipping rock for the perfect throw is a rare and beautiful thing
Vigilante@lemmy.today 7 months ago
I’ll take both . Thanks
Mango@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Stick. I can make a perfect rock.
RatBin@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I have a perfectly round rock. Some of those bouncy balls as well. I confused one for the others, I thought it’d bounce but it broke a tile.
feedum_sneedson@lemmy.world 7 months ago
The rock of course, what kind of stupid question is this.
morrowind@lemmy.ml 7 months ago
Neither, enjoy them there but when you leave they are for the forest to keep
oscardejarjayes@hexbear.net 7 months ago
preach
but to answer the memes question, the stick. I’d get only a few seconds of enjoyment from skipping the rock (and I suck at rock skipping, so it probably wouldn’t be very good anyway), but that stick won’t need to leave me until I leave it.
klemptor@startrek.website 7 months ago
Exactly. Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints.
DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 7 months ago
LNT FTW
TheHottub@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Agreed. But look at that stick. Perfectly balanced with cross guard.
jaybone@lemmy.world 7 months ago
That stick won’t last very long in the forest.
The rock, put it back and no one will find it for centuries. Maybe it’s fair to take it so others can see it and appreciate its beauty.
