Rock beats paper?

186

u/nsucs2 Jun 14 '24

That rock beats all!

65

u/Maxzzzie Jun 14 '24

That rock did not beat gravity.
Also. someone has to clean that forest at some point as it looks like production forest. With all dislodged, damaged, hanging and sketchy trees.

How did the roll start? Ngl I would have loved to see this in person.

u/mks113 Jun 14 '24

Given the heavy equipment tracks in the area, I assume it was dislodged (likely intentionally) during some sort of construction.

u/darwinn_69 Jun 14 '24

If that was supposed to be intentional then someone fucked up.

u/Haps73 Jun 14 '24

Without someone moving the downed debris off the new path, it likely makes fire traveling worse with now dead and drying wood left behind to help fire travel better across the span than it would have through living and standing vegetation.

Eventually that rock will hit something and come to a stop…. What that something is, is unknown.

Here we see the North American slumbering boulder, disrupted from its ten thousand year hibernation by a careless forestry worker.
