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.

I'll take the stick and use it to make you give me the rock.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You're going to risk breaking the stick for the rock?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

It's a perfect stick, it cannot break, look at it

[–] [email protected] 0 points 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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

Depends on where the rock is from or what kind of wood.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

Stick. No question. No hesitation. That's a damn good stick.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

Stick, I love swords

[–] [email protected] 0 points 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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

Stick.

Stick can go "swoosh" when you swing it.

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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 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

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

No thanks, I'll keep my bones

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

The rock of course, what kind of stupid question is this.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Sticks are temporary, but rocks are forever

I want the stick, but I know the rock is all around more practical.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

The rock would make a better weapon than that stick.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (2 children)

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...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

Rock. Look at it.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

Stick, I'm better at swinging than I am at throwing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (4 children)

Neither, enjoy them there but when you leave they are for the forest to keep

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Exactly. Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago
[–] [email protected] 0 points 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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

Agreed. But look at that stick. Perfectly balanced with cross guard.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I already have a pretty perfect rock. But a perfect stick is a rare find. I think I'll take another rock

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Oh no. I distract my wife and take them both?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

Is there any other option? There’s no way to just leave one of those behind. It is just unthinkable.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Once you got the stick, ain't nobody gonna tell you that you can't take the rock too.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

What if they throw the rock at your head, knock you out, and take your stick?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

Swing batter.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

Exactly. Raise the stick over your head and scream: I HAVE THE POWER!

[–] [email protected] 0 points 7 months ago

Rock. Then I use it to crack the skull of the dude who took the stick and now I have both.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 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
