I don’t care how long this has been going on, I ain’t fucking around near that thing.
aw man, this is like the cooler version of the jug rock.
Jug rock is a better name though. I don’t know what that name translates to so maybe im wrong again. I hope not.
Let’s hope it doesn’t get destroyed by idiots.

I’m going to destroy it
Lame attempt at a troll. If you’re going to at least try to troll be creative. You’re boring, shallow and unimaginative.
That honey with the stick will beat them to death.
Can anyone tell me why the bottom rock is so smooth? I imagine people come and sit on it and touch them both frequently, and that they are two rocks from different places but they each look very dissimilar. I guess what I am really asking, is the bottom rock so smooth because of the big boy topping it?
Likely glaciation, the bottom rock was likely on the bottom of an ice sheet and millions of tons of ice moving over it over time had smoothed it out.
The top rock is probably from many miles away and was carried and placed there from the receding glacier. To me the top rock looks like it is a completely different type of stone then the bottom.
Awesome. That would make sense.

It does not have to matter, but can still be cool. I also don’t know if this sentence makes sense.
The name “odd stone” is really deserved. There’s also a pine tree growing on top of the rock
Better keep it low profile, or some tourists will try some bad ideas.
American Boy Scout leaders.
Or this more recently 🙁
Ruining historic natural monuments is somehow not first on the list of American Boy Scout leader atrocities 🫤
For anyone else out of the loop.

For anyone out of the other loop.
I feel like if this was my town idiots would have done it long ago by all means necessary
A stick of dynamite might offset it enough to roll.
I was thinking trucks
Not gonna budge with a truck but a large bottle jack or two might do the trick
RIP Sycamore Gap tree.
My cat would go there and push it over…
There’s not a feline or a man alive who could move that without tools.
If cats could read and open doors, they would collectively go to Finland to push it over with a huge mass of pure cat power.
With some levers, definitely doable. With just paws? Eh.
Also, cats can definitely open doors. Not all cats, but I know a few.
I’m talking doors to the outside so they can escape to Finland to knock the rock over.
I get that’s what you meant, but technically the way it was worded…
And the cats I know are cats who frequently roam outdoors and are Finnish. Perhaps they’ve just not seen this post, as outside cats rarely doomscroll.
Indeed they don’t doomscroll much. See my first point, re the fact that cats can’t read.
Being literate isn’t a requirement for scrolling though, although I do hesitate on how much “doom” applies to things like this.
But that’s clearly an indoors house-cat, so my hypothesis that outside cats doomscroll less is still valid.
You understimate the sheer amount of “i-want-to-push-over-things-energy” of a cat.
If that was a comma, it would be way more impressive…
In Europe generally commas are used for decimals and periods for marking thousands
Then, it’s a very light rock!
Ha, I didn’t even realised they used the systems interchangeably
Having exactly 500 kg up to three decimal places would still be quite impressive!
Yeah, that really makes those figures more significant!
Or some aliens with antigrav guns were like “Hey you know what would be funny?!?”
-
Rock is in the floor
-
Ice age ends, water floods dirt around the rock away
-
Rock either rolls down or stays
We have lots of these in Austria and at least here this is how they became like that.

Is there a country that uses a different thousands separator based on unit?
Yes, in a lot of places a period is used for order-of-magnitude separation and comma is used for decimal places.
In this title the use seems inconsistent.
Right, i think he’s asking if there’s some culture where the inconsistency is designed based on unit. So, for example, period for years, comma for weight.
I think it’s simply an error. Maybe AI generated?
Either the rock weighs exactly 500kg to an impressive precision and has been there for eleven thousand years or it weighs five hundred thousand kg and has been there for exactly 11 years.
It’s got something for everyone.
Finland uses space for thousands (and comma for decimals), so an article in Finnish would have 500 000 kg
I don’t care how long it been balancing there I wouldn’t dare stand that close to it, be just my luck it pick that moment to shrift.
Neat. The trick rock has a pet tree
This is the rock that keeps the Earth right side up. If you knock it off we flip upside down and Australia gets to rule the planet.
I would never go anywhere near that rock

I think you recently heard this term and are trying to shoehorn it into any conversation you can.
I think they were just having a laugh and I sort of found it funny myself.
It is a fun term, you must admit
Ima have to see an 11,000 year old picture and an 11,001 year old picture as proof of this.
