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.
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.
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.
The stick seems less of a win. Its big and cumbersome once it outlives its usefulness or it breaks. The rock can provide longer but smaller returns, and can outlive your ancestry if taken care of.
Press X to doubt.
Stone has one use as a thrown weapon, and you must have accuracy. It could be used as a blunt instrument but that requires very close proximity.
Alternatively you can sharpen the stick, and have a length to keep things at bay.
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 wild argument...
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.
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
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
Rock. Then I use it to crack the skull of the dude who took the stick and now I have both.
I already have a pretty perfect rock. But a perfect stick is a rare find. I think I'll take another rock
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.
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
