I think that a perfect rock is harder to encounter, so I'll take that. The stick is cooler imo, though.

[–] hemko@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Exactly my thoughts but other way around. I'd love to throw that rock, but to keep that stick

[–] EherVielleicht@feddit.org 37 points 1 year ago (3 children)

It's always the rock, and always have been.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago

Bruh, everyone knows the stick is better.

[–] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No make fire with rock, stick win

Flint: am I a joke to you?

[–] Crampon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

The rock is geological wonder.

The stick has been manipulated to look like that.

Rock. The stick is fake.

[–] Dagamant@lemmy.world 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Stick is temporary. It will degrade and fall apart eventually. Rock is forever, rock can be family heirloom.

[–] Toribor@corndog.social 24 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Break stick in half? Now two sticks.

Stick always win.

[–] MajesticSloth@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Had the perfect stick sword as a kid. Another kid thought to be mean and broke it in half. Cool, TWO short swords, dual wielding unlocked.

He made you a pair of sai!

Rock is easier to carry, lasts longer, and is harder to replicate.

[–] Ketram@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 year ago

Counterpoint: I will immediately skip the rock on the first body of water I find, losing it instantly. Stick I will treasure forever.

[–] Daxter101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This is, no joke, exactly how the argument went, in my head. And the stick won.

[–] Annoyed_Crabby@monyet.cc 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Perfect stick is easily crafted with a knife, perfect rock will need advanced machine. I pick paper, it win against rock.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Perfect Paper is not the discussion! Back of the line!

[–] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 1 year ago

Paper is shredded stick

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just to make my statement perfectly clear:

[–] NOT_RICK@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Goblin “artificer”

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Definitely the stick. A perfect rock is only good once, which is when you throw it. A stick is good for decades. My dad has a stick I found 36 years ago and still uses it. Nobody uses a rock for that long.

[–] deus@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What is stopping you from picking up the rock after throwing it? Let me tell you, I still have a little pebble I found by a river some 20 years ago and it's not even a particularly cool looking rock or anything. If I had a perfect rock you better bet I'd keep it forever.

[–] friend_of_satan@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] deus@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No worries, the rock won't go anywhere. It'll remain where you left it, patiently waiting for you to become scuba certified, like the good rock it is.

[–] weegee90@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't know... rocks can be tricksters sometimes.

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago

Rocks are cool, but that sword stick? So good!

Take both. If anyone questions you, hit them with whichever one is in your good hand.

[–] gedaliyah@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I feel like there is a stick community on Lemmy but I can't seem to find it now. Has anyone else seen this?

Rock fits in bundle, stick barely fits in car or big sky man save bus, me take rock

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Can't I multi-class??

Take Rokk.

I already own Perfect Stic.

[–] Sidyctism2@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 1 year ago

it even comes with a sort of rock if you want to end your opponent rightly

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm leaning towards a stick, but that's a Goliath felling rock if I've ever seen one. Plus, I could skip that thing across the universe.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I hear ya, but.

(slaps stick) You can wail on so many telephone poles with this bad boy.

[–] snekerpimp@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Neither, leave it like you found it.

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I always understood it as:

Don't add, but you may remove ( things like sticks or stones, nothing else )

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago

Take only pictures

Leave only footprints

[–] snekerpimp@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Stone stacking changed that

Stick

If you ever have a dog, and your stick will get stolen, your dog will find it

Rock

If you ever have a dog, your stick won't be one for long, your dog will chew through it and bring another log

I'd do anything for a good skimming stone
