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.
Very impressive from that view! But more stable than that tiny contact point would suggest.
I can't believe it weights just 500kg! But what happened 11 years ago? Who put it there?
You reguegitated the top comment from Reddit, where this was posted 24 hours before it was posted here.
The tireless work of the repost police must be exhausting. You lone hero you.
I'm sorry that somebody wrote a similar post on reddit. I hope you'll forgive me one day for having similar thoughts...
It's bad enough that this post is a direct copy of a trending Reddit post (down to the weird number formatting), to find the comments are also just copy pasted highlights of stunning lack of originality
If you think that I go on reddit to copy comments you're batshit crazy man. Find a doctor or something.
It's pretty funny that you think it's weird.
I think they just hate reddit.
The age sends my imagination racing, I wonder if there was a Proto-Indo-European name for it, as a remote curiosity/enigma.
"They say that somewhere up north, half a moon beyond the most remote village, there is a large stone put on top of another by the hand of the Earth Goddess herself."
