Neither, enjoy them there but when you leave they are for the forest to keep
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.
Exactly. Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints.
LNT FTW
Agreed. But look at that stick. Perfectly balanced with cross guard.
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.
Sticks are temporary, but rocks are forever

Akshually thats factually untrue 🤓
Once you got the stick, ain’t nobody gonna tell you that you can’t take the rock too.
Exactly. Raise the stick over your head and scream: I HAVE THE POWER!
What if they throw the rock at your head, knock you out, and take your stick?
Swing batter.
Stick. No question. No hesitation. That’s a damn good stick.
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.
Oh no. I distract my wife and take them both?
Is there any other option? There’s no way to just leave one of those behind. It is just unthinkable.
It’s ok. I’ll distract your wife.
I want the stick, but I know the rock is all around more practical.
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.
I would never judge you for that. You are a rock person, and I think that’s awesome.
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.
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 rock would make a better weapon than that stick.
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.
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.
Stick.
Stick can go “swoosh” when you swing it.
I’ll take the stick and use it to make you give me the rock.
You’re going to risk breaking the stick for the rock?
It’s a perfect stick, it cannot break, look at it
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
Stick, I’m better at swinging than I am at throwing.
Stick, I love swords
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
EZ. Stick.
No thanks, I’ll keep my bones
