picture: An individual painting, drawing, or other representation on a surface, of an object or objects; esp. such a representation as a work of art. (Now the prevailing sense.)
image: An optical appearance or counterpart of an object, such as is produced by rays of light either reflected as from a mirror, refracted as through a lens, or falling on a surface after passing through a small aperture. Such an appearance may also be a mere subjective impression on the sense of sight, as an after-image (q.v.), and the negative image or accidental image seen after looking intently at a bright-coloured object, and having a colour complementary to that of the object. An image produced by reflexion or refraction is called in Optics a real image when the rays from each point of the object actually meet at a point, a virtual image when they diverge as if from a point beyond the reflecting or refracting body.
Did you think I'd just accept that at face value? Do you take me for a fool? That is an egg! You've painted it to look like a rock because you are afraid that I will steal it. You thought I would think it was a rock. But it is an egg.
To all the people in my DMs, don't tell me that it's a roc egg. It's not. A roc would have a much larger egg that would be brown in colouration. And it would smell minty, which this one does not. No, this is clearly just a mundane egg painted to look like a rock.
When I said it was a mundane egg I just meant that it was an egg. I didn't know that it would be full of crabs. But it's still an egg! It's a mundane egg that happened to be packed with crabs of varying sizes and colourations.
All around a solid, great pick. Only needs a banana for scale but thanks to the +-wow factor(i number values) any size variation would just only make it better
It's not bad but has been deprecated as a good predictor since the 1987 US Solar system survey review from the 87-608 reports from Brown, Janet L., where the Framework for sedimentary moss patterns of the Rock Formations on Sol III was developed and standardized
Heh, I think the line in the news article was something like, "a small boulder the size of a large boulder". I'm inclined to blame the editor rather than the reporter.
Oh that's such a typical response from the kind of person in the subgroup I have now mentally assigned you to based off my preconceptions about anyone who gives descriptions of that stone that differ from mine!
Obviously sleeper agents to spread the infernal unnatural words of the geologist conspiracy. Rock Hudson! Just look how long they've been keeping the blinders on all of us.
The Brotherhood of Stone has been at this for centuries making people believe in rocks. Its the most despicable, heinous, ludicrous conspiracy that has its claws reaching into everything, literally everything. I've been researching it for decades and I still haven't found just how far the rabbit hole goes.
Rocks are not mere pets, do not be so arrogant to think of them as such. You might think of them as tools but you'd be wrong about that was well. We are the tools. We have been tools from the moment a human first picked up on of those profane things. A rock hungers for violence and murder yet lacks the capacity to perform such feats on its own. They use us, like Cain of old, to turn the grindstone wet with blood for goals beyond our understanding.
My first thought was it being an incorrect first line and my brain went "and I'm getting stoned."
"She got a rock,
And I'm gettin' stoned"
But then had that very programmed feeling of you shouldn't say that because you aren't getting stoned and you don't want people to think of you as getting up and getting stoned on a Saturday morning. Talk about being programmed to fear what other people think.
Rock and roll was slain by the metal in the year 2012 but rose again as an undead revenant abomination. Yeah it won't die now but it had to die in order to become that way. They're trying to cover it up but I know the truth.
I would describe it more as a well rounded piece of gravel, just calling it a rock disregards the geological implications of fluid transport and energy involved with a well rounded stone of that size.
Oh I'm sure everything looks like a pebble to you from that high horse you're sat upon. If you had any basis in reality you'd know this is a boulder. Keep living in delusion if that's what makes you happy, but the rest of us live in the Real World.
You cannot just say this is a ROCK! What type of rock, is it igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic rock, then what rock is it, is it granite or norite. And what is the damn mineralogy, are there any feldspars or over identifiers
Some of you have very poor taste then. But im not here to discuss the nuances of true rockiness with YOU. Educate yourself first on grains and cracks. But I guess that would be "too much" for you.
That's just contradiction. An argument’s a collective series of statements to establish a definite
proposition. Contradiction’s just the automatic gainsaying of anything the other person says.
Clearly a stone.
Failed again.
It's an image.
It's clearly just binary code.
Duh those are electrons.
More like quarks and other shit.
This is all just a collective hallucination
How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren't real
Right on, man.
Are you talking to me?
Or are you talking to yourself?
Or am I talking to myself?
The "other shit" being mostly electrons and photons.
Smaller shit than that. If you’ve got quarks in the mix, we’re looking for muons and Higgs bosons and the like.
This implies that you can both see where the electrons are and where they're going. Obviously that's impossible.
The only thing obvious is that obvious is but an illusion.
But we might be living in a simulation, so the electrons are probably just binary code.
No u
Yep, seems like a static gif file. That's pronounced as jiff in case anyone was wondering.
It's definitely not a pipe
No, it's your display you are looking at
maybe a pebble. need banana for scale
Macrosand
you mean gravel?
The last exchange I read around the "banana for scale" thing was inconceivably contentious.
Where’s the NSFW flair on this baby boy?
could even be a boulder
The pioneers used the ride these babies for miles.
Ride them for mules?
Tiny boulders do not exist. you have obviously never seen a large boulder the size of a small boulder
Bite-sized mountain
I don't think I want to bite that.
You're just like Hitler, blocked.
Is it? Could be a pebble. We don't have a scale after all.
Did I hear an rock and stone?
That's not a rock. That's a picture of a rock.
Ce n'est pas un rocher
I was looking for this :)
"Ceci" si tu veux être précis
To further the spirit of the topic:

No, that's a jpeg representation on your screen of a photo of a rock.
It's a jpeg representation on your screen of a photo of a rock which you probably have observed with your eyes
I haven't seen this particular rock with my own eyes.
That's not my dad, that's a cell phone. Duh!
It’s a MINERAL, Marie.
Hey fuck you buddy
You're awfully brave for someone who's within rock range.

PEBBLE RANGE YOU RETARD!
Oh using the R word there mongoloid? Nice
I'm not your mongoloid, downy!
You can't just toss around slurs like pebble!
You're right, sorry. It's an affordable grey egg.

Its a pebble
Looks more like a stone to me.
I'm sorry but you have no point of refrence! No banana to scale. Could be a large stone
It's apparently igneous, so you could use grain size. Based on that, probably around the size of a baseball. I'm going with 'large stone' lol
Could be a giant boulder
NO IT'S A STONE NOT A ROCK
EVERY STONE IS A ROCK YOU STONE BRAINED ROCK
DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?
If you don't rock and stone, you ain't coming home.
Rock and stone forever! ⛏️
ROCK! AND! STONE!
Stoned rock

What if it's a hyper realistic drawing of a stone? Checkmate atheists.
It’s not a rock, it’s a photo of a rock. And it’s probably AI.
Ceci n'est pas une pierre.
Source? Really dislike all these unsubstantiated claims everywhere.
That's actually a pebble, not a rock
Pebbles are small enough to fit in your mouth. This is clearly a stone.
Pretty sure stones have to weigh 14 pounds...
That's because it's stone, not stones, plural!! Of course multiple weigh more than one!
How can you know?? Have you tried putting this one in your mouth?

Everybody arguing rock, stone, or pebble.
It's a jpeg.
Just downloaded it, it was a .png.

This is not a rock. It is just a pebble.
It's a stone!!
Dammit, Marie!
They're minerals Marie!
It's not a rock, do your research
I think its an egg painted gray.
I have to say it. That's a really nice rock.
Well rounded
Uniform oval shape
Well distributed grain
Minimal color invariance
Pauli's exclusion principle compliant
Higher than average support threshold
Aerodynamic
Hydrodynamic
No moss (that's always a plus)
No visible cracks, dents or imperfections
Negative wobblyness
3 dimensional
Positive spinniness
Nice all around silicate spectrum
Higher than average (if not more) cold-handling potential
High end projectile index (above 0.95, that's factoring window breaking potential)
Maximally grind factor (>0.82, that's garlic grade)
Nutcracker performance with tolerable parameters
Accurate weather predictor (Fast drying is most)
Gravitationally bound to Earth system
Free range Baryonic matter contents
All around a solid, great pick. Only needs a banana for scale but thanks to the +-wow factor(i number values) any size variation would just only make it better

you're right. no arguments here
Why is moss bad?!
It's not bad but has been deprecated as a good predictor since the 1987 US Solar system survey review from the 87-608 reports from Brown, Janet L., where the Framework for sedimentary moss patterns of the Rock Formations on Sol III was developed and standardized
I hate that rock. I dont even think its not man made. Fake ass dumb rock
It's a boulder, but just not quite as large as most boulders.
It's not JUST a boulder! It's a rock! A BIG, BEAUTIFUL, OL ROOOCK. Oh the pioneers used to ride these babies for MILES! And it's in great shape!
It's a boulder the size of a small boulder
Heh, I think the line in the news article was something like, "a small boulder the size of a large boulder". I'm inclined to blame the editor rather than the reporter.
Clearly its not a rock as it is too smooth to be from nature and has been polished by hand.
You discount the precise erosion of the rivers!
Now this is just Big River talks.
True. The only thing eroding here is our liberties.
Have you ever seen a river bed?
Why would a river need a bed? Does it even get tired?
Of course? All that flowing. Why do you think rivers sometimes run dry? Because they're exhausted!
Obviously you haven't seen a good natural rock.
IT'S A STONE
The scale isn't too clear from the image but it looks more like a pebble to me.
Oh that's such a typical response from the kind of person in the subgroup I have now mentally assigned you to based off my preconceptions about anyone who gives descriptions of that stone that differ from mine!
Get your head out of the sand, bird man!
Stony stone stoning
Its actually nothing like this rock. This is just a trubute!
Sorry its a pebble.
Rocks aren't real people!!!! Wake the fuck up and follow your instincts! It's all a conspiracy conjured up by big GEOLOGY!
um…ROCK Hudson?? Dwayne Johnson?
Obviously sleeper agents to spread the infernal unnatural words of the geologist conspiracy. Rock Hudson! Just look how long they've been keeping the blinders on all of us.
so true!!!
True. OP needs to do his own reading.
The Brotherhood of Stone has been at this for centuries making people believe in rocks. Its the most despicable, heinous, ludicrous conspiracy that has its claws reaching into everything, literally everything. I've been researching it for decades and I still haven't found just how far the rabbit hole goes.
Fucking Brotherhoods are never up to anything good.
Rocks are real people. That's why they make great pets.
Rocks are not mere pets, do not be so arrogant to think of them as such. You might think of them as tools but you'd be wrong about that was well. We are the tools. We have been tools from the moment a human first picked up on of those profane things. A rock hungers for violence and murder yet lacks the capacity to perform such feats on its own. They use us, like Cain of old, to turn the grindstone wet with blood for goals beyond our understanding.
You’re out of your element, fleshoid.

Go fuck yourself you rock loving perv, take your big stone post and deposit your filthy sediment somewhere else!
Hey, fuck you and your kink shaming
What if a child saw this post? Do you want children to get traumatised by this disgusting sinful rock perversion?!?

But this one's not rollin'
... Otherwise we'd be hatin'
The rock was clearly designed by an omnipotent God, and can't be the product of chance
C'est pas une pierre, c'est une roche 🤪
Qual Roche qual quê caralho, aquilo é uma pedra!!
I will fucking murder you over this rock.
It's mine.

It's clearly a rock coloured silicone egg for people with an oviposition fetish.
Prove it.

Gray egg.
*Græy
It's grey
It's not grey, jackass! It's GRAY! With an A! WARBLGARBLANGRYSCREECHING
No its not
Your argument is spurious and without merit.
Citation please.
I agree.
How dare you!
I’ll be taking that rare earth mineral and you will say thank you. It’s for your own safety.
Of any rock you could have posted, you post this thing? Bleh.
Some of us like that 'thing'!
Huh, here I thought it was an egg.
Fossilized Egg
That is an island!
Nobody is an island
yeah, but its not THE Rock
Everyone knows all rocks are flat this is just NASA propaganda.

That's a rock, alright.

No, it's not.
It's a giant pebble, get your facts straight
It’s a lovely rock dear. Good job well done.
It's a stone, Luigi. You didn't make it.
This is Patrick
I definitely wouldn't argue about this
Yes you would!
Ho, buddy.
This is not a pipe
Why a rock?i want a snack
why a duck?
Pretend it’s a seed
Must be a .world thing
Without banana for scale it could be boulder or asteroid
Even a pebble
My god, when do the lies end?!
Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw rocks
That's pet rock. I thought they discontinued that thing.
"The guy made a million dollars!"
What size are we talking here? Looks like a pebble to me, fucker.
Oh I'm sure everything looks like a pebble to you from that high horse you're sat upon. If you had any basis in reality you'd know this is a boulder. Keep living in delusion if that's what makes you happy, but the rest of us live in the Real World.
Rock and stone!
Had to scroll way too far to find this. For Karl!
Rock and stone!
I refuse to argue about this due to the following reasons, assumptions and attacks against your person: ...

No, this is Patrick!

This reminds me: weren't pet rocks a thing at a certain time?
Yes
Nice.
What? We're not good enough to be presented multiple rocks? Do we need to ration one of Earth's most abundant resources now?
Some of you have very poor taste then. But im not here to discuss the nuances of true rockiness with YOU. Educate yourself first on grains and cracks. But I guess that would be "too much" for you.

I'm sorry but if you'd like to have an argument you'll have to pay.
Yes, but that was never five minutes, just now. Oh come on!
Yes it was.
Everybody must get stoned
Is no rock, is troll kid!
Fuck you, it's a banana.

I would not have assumed common sense needed to be stated; any observer can tell we are not being shown a rock.

Everybody wants a rock to wind their piece of string around.
