Rocky rock rocking

rock
Clearly a stone.
- Failed again.
  It's an image.
  
  It's clearly just binary code.
  
  It's definitely not a pipe
  
  Yep, seems like a static gif file. That's pronounced as jiff in case anyone was wondering.
  
  No, it's your display you are looking at
- maybe a pebble. need banana for scale
  
  Macrosand
  
  The last exchange I read around the "banana for scale" thing was inconceivably contentious.
  
  could even be a boulder
- No that's obviously a tiny boulder
  
  The pioneers used the ride these babies for miles.
  
  Tiny boulders do not exist. you have obviously never seen a large boulder the size of a small boulder
  
  Bite-sized mountain
- You're just like Hitler, blocked.
- Is it? Could be a pebble. We don't have a scale after all.
- Did I hear an rock and stone?

That's not a rock. That's a picture of a rock.
- Ce n'est pas un rocher
  
  I was looking for this :)
  
  "Ceci" si tu veux être précis
- To further the spirit of the topic:
  picture: An individual painting, drawing, or other representation on a surface, of an object or objects; esp. such a representation as a work of art. (Now the prevailing sense.)
  image: An optical appearance or counterpart of an object, such as is produced by rays of light either reflected as from a mirror, refracted as through a lens, or falling on a surface after passing through a small aperture. Such an appearance may also be a mere subjective impression on the sense of sight, as an after-image (q.v.), and the negative image or accidental image seen after looking intently at a bright-coloured object, and having a colour complementary to that of the object. An image produced by reflexion or refraction is called in Optics a real image when the rays from each point of the object actually meet at a point, a virtual image when they diverge as if from a point beyond the reflecting or refracting body.

  I'm here to put the F back in Art
- No, that's a jpeg representation on your screen of a photo of a rock.
  
  It's a jpeg representation on your screen of a photo of a rock which you probably have observed with your eyes
- That's not my dad, that's a cell phone. Duh!

It’s a MINERAL, Marie.

Hey fuck you buddy
- You're awfully brave for someone who's within rock range.
  
  stone range
- I'm not your buddy, Pal!
  
  I'm not your pal, Guy!
  
  don’t call me bro, bro!

photo of a rock
- Ceci n'est pas une rock
- The Treachery of Memes

Its a pebble
- Looks more like a stone to me.
- I'm sorry but you have no point of refrence! No banana to scale. Could be a large stone
  
  It's apparently igneous, so you could use grain size. Based on that, probably around the size of a baseball. I'm going with 'large stone' lol
  
  Could be a giant boulder

NO IT'S A STONE NOT A ROCK
- EVERY STONE IS A ROCK YOU STONE BRAINED ROCK
  
  DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?
  
  UMM ACTUALLY I'M A ROCK BRAINED STONE
  YOU'RE PROBABLY STONED YOURSELF SINCE YOU'RE SPOUTING UTTER NONSENSE

Did you think I'd just accept that at face value? Do you take me for a fool? That is an egg! You've painted it to look like a rock because you are afraid that I will steal it. You thought I would think it was a rock. But it is an egg.
- To all the people in my DMs, don't tell me that it's a roc egg. It's not. A roc would have a much larger egg that would be brown in colouration. And it would smell minty, which this one does not. No, this is clearly just a mundane egg painted to look like a rock.
  
  When I said it was a mundane egg I just meant that it was an egg. I didn't know that it would be full of crabs. But it's still an egg! It's a mundane egg that happened to be packed with crabs of varying sizes and colourations.

Obviously, that is a photograph of a stone.
- What if it's a hyper realistic drawing of a stone? Checkmate atheists.
- Ceci n'est pas un rocher.

It’s not a rock, it’s a photo of a rock. And it’s probably AI.
- Ceci n'est pas une pierre.
- Source? Really dislike all these unsubstantiated claims everywhere.

That's actually a pebble, not a rock
- Pebbles are small enough to fit in your mouth. This is clearly a stone.
  
  Pretty sure stones have to weigh 14 pounds...
  
  How can you know?? Have you tried putting this one in your mouth?

They're minerals Marie!

IT'S A MINERAL!
- Dammit, Marie!
- It's a stone!!

This is not a rock. It is just a pebble.

Everybody arguing rock, stone, or pebble.
It's a jpeg.
- Just downloaded it, it was a .png.
- Ce n'est pas un rocher

It's a boulder, but just not quite as large as most boulders.
- It's not JUST a boulder! It's a rock! A BIG, BEAUTIFUL, OL ROOOCK. Oh the pioneers used to ride these babies for MILES! And it's in great shape!
- It's a boulder the size of a small boulder
  
  Heh, I think the line in the news article was something like, "a small boulder the size of a large boulder". I'm inclined to blame the editor rather than the reporter.

It's not a rock, do your research
- I think its an egg painted gray.

I have to say it. That's a really nice rock.
Well rounded
Uniform oval shape
Well distributed grain
Minimal color invariance
Pauli's exclusion principle compliant
Higher than average support threshold
Aerodynamic
Hydrodynamic
No moss (that's always a plus)
No visible cracks, dents or imperfections
Negative wobblyness
3 dimensional
Positive spinniness
Nice all around silicate spectrum
Higher than average (if not more) cold-handling potential
High end projectile index (above 0.95, that's factoring window breaking potential)
Maximally grind factor (>0.82, that's garlic grade)
Nutcracker performance with tolerable parameters
Accurate weather predictor (Fast drying is most)
Gravitationally bound to Earth system
Free range Baryonic matter contents
All around a solid, great pick. Only needs a banana for scale but thanks to the +-wow factor(i number values) any size variation would just only make it better
Rate: 5/7
7/7 with rice
Bro Rating: 🧢 🧢 🧢 🧢 🧢
Judgement: 👍
- you're right. no arguments here
- It’s a perfect 5 out of 7
- Why is moss bad?!
  
  It's not bad but has been deprecated as a good predictor since the 1987 US Solar system survey review from the 87-608 reports from Brown, Janet L., where the Framework for sedimentary moss patterns of the Rock Formations on Sol III was developed and standardized
- I hate that rock. I dont even think its not man made. Fake ass dumb rock

Its actually nothing like this rock. This is just a trubute!

IT'S A STONE
- The scale isn't too clear from the image but it looks more like a pebble to me.
  
  Oh that's such a typical response from the kind of person in the subgroup I have now mentally assigned you to based off my preconceptions about anyone who gives descriptions of that stone that differ from mine!
- Get your head out of the sand, bird man!
- Stony stone stoning

Clearly its not a rock as it is too smooth to be from nature and has been polished by hand.
- You discount the precise erosion of the rivers!
  
  Now this is just Big River talks.
- Have you ever seen a river bed?
  
  Why would a river need a bed? Does it even get tired?
- Obviously you haven't seen a good natural rock.

Rocks aren't real people!!!! Wake the fuck up and follow your instincts! It's all a conspiracy conjured up by big GEOLOGY!
- True. OP needs to do his own reading.
  
  The Brotherhood of Stone has been at this for centuries making people believe in rocks. Its the most despicable, heinous, ludicrous conspiracy that has its claws reaching into everything, literally everything. I've been researching it for decades and I still haven't found just how far the rabbit hole goes.
- um…ROCK Hudson?? Dwayne Johnson?
  
  Obviously sleeper agents to spread the infernal unnatural words of the geologist conspiracy. Rock Hudson! Just look how long they've been keeping the blinders on all of us.
- Rocks are real people. That's why they make great pets.
  
  Rocks are not mere pets, do not be so arrogant to think of them as such. You might think of them as tools but you'd be wrong about that was well. We are the tools. We have been tools from the moment a human first picked up on of those profane things. A rock hungers for violence and murder yet lacks the capacity to perform such feats on its own. They use us, like Cain of old, to turn the grindstone wet with blood for goals beyond our understanding.

Sorry its a pebble.

You’re out of your element, fleshoid.
- Hey dude, fleshoid is not the preferred nomenclature, its meatbag.
  
  I'm not your dude, buddy
  
  Walter, I'm not talking about someone who built the Spaceroads...

Dragon egg

Go fuck yourself you rock loving perv, take your big stone post and deposit your filthy sediment somewhere else!
- Hey, fuck you and your kink shaming
  
  What if a child saw this post? Do you want children to get traumatised by this disgusting sinful rock perversion?!?

The rock was clearly designed by an omnipotent God, and can't be the product of chance

Rock N' Roll will never die! 😎🤘🎸
- But this one's not rollin'
  ... Otherwise we'd be hatin'
- My first thought was it being an incorrect first line and my brain went "and I'm getting stoned."
  "She got a rock,
  And I'm gettin' stoned"
  But then had that very programmed feeling of you shouldn't say that because you aren't getting stoned and you don't want people to think of you as getting up and getting stoned on a Saturday morning. Talk about being programmed to fear what other people think.
  Anyways Eric Church has a couple songs I liked
- Rock and roll was slain by the metal in the year 2012 but rose again as an undead revenant abomination. Yeah it won't die now but it had to die in order to become that way. They're trying to cover it up but I know the truth.

It's clearly a rock coloured silicone egg for people with an oviposition fetish.

I will fucking murder you over this rock.
- It's mine.
  
  🔫🧑‍🚀 step away.

C'est pas une pierre, c'est une roche 🤪
- Qual Roche qual quê caralho, aquilo é uma pedra!!

Prove it.

Gray egg.
- *Græy

Huh, here I thought it was an egg.

Everyone knows all rocks are flat this is just NASA propaganda.

Fossilized Egg

yeah, but its not THE Rock

I’ll be taking that rare earth mineral and you will say thank you. It’s for your own safety.

It's grey
- It's not grey, jackass! It's GRAY! With an A! WARBLGARBLANGRYSCREECHING
- I agree.
  
  How dare you!
- No its not
  
  Your argument is spurious and without merit.
- Citation please.

Of any rock you could have posted, you post this thing? Bleh.
- Some of us like that 'thing'!

That is an island!
- Nobody is an island

It’s a lovely rock dear. Good job well done.

I would describe it more as a well rounded piece of gravel, just calling it a rock disregards the geological implications of fluid transport and energy involved with a well rounded stone of that size.
- Wow, just TYPICAL that one of you people would just IGNORE the fact that the object is actually an accumulation of particles that were formed in a number of astronomical events over billions of years, I guess you don't even CARE about the rich history that went into this object before your precious "geology" worked on it, and only care if it's "well rounded."
