I thought I was weird after seeing that black stand-up on kill Tony saying he had some of his favorites in his pocket. My step mom and I went hiking and she found two really cool rocks, one was gray and has streaks of purple, the other one was dark but with orange streaks. They live on my dashboard.
While it's a cute idea, that's really dangerous. If you're ever in an accident, those things will turn into bullets, endangering you and possibly others. Even just a hard brake could make you lose an eye. I'd store them safely at home instead :)
Not sure I understand the question. You're in a seatbelt, while the rocks are able to move freely throughout the interior of the car. They'll fly throughout the interior in the event of a crash. Even worse, if they are between you and the airbag when it's deploying, they'll be embedded into your skull.
I'm not making this up, you can find the same advice everywhere. It's very dangerous for you and other passengers.
Paleontologists have found Neanderthal stone tools (knapped stone) made with high quality stone taken from kilometers away. This means that they had favorite tools that they wanted to keep with them, while other low quality stones where used few times before being discarded near their collection point
There's an area in the cascade range (western US, specifically oregon) that is a giant field of knapped obsidian, that was used as a training ground for young knappers, as well as a trading ground to trade knapped obsidian that has been found all over the western US. Not just miles, but many many miles. I'll see if I can go find a link.
I mean when I was young and used to play with rocks I had a favourite rock, I mean even painting rocks was a thing. No need to go thousands of years back lol
It's believed that connections to objects as favorites is a more recent human evolution. Tribes would have spears and tools but people would just take one.
Still pretty common today.
Look at this fella with no favourite rock
Ha, what a ...wait, do you think they also don't have a favourite stick?!?
Or a favourite cave?
There was definitely a time when nobody pretended their favorite stick was a gun.
I have a jar of rocks and two sticks. That guy doesn't know how to human.
Wearing Jewels is the advanced form of carrying a pet rock.
We're not so different than the penguins that prostitute themselves for rocks
To be fair, the penguins don't care about the rocks they're just kinky like that
The rocks just make it classy.
This is lemmy. Everyone has a favourite rock.
They're fucking minerals Marie
Hematite is hella tight.
I had a different one in mind.
You just know the dude that named this had to be laughing to himself when submitting anything official.
I can't pick a favorite.
They're all neat.
Mine is cummingtonite

Dashboard, as in car dashboard? Or is that also a name for furniture?
Car dashboard.

Are you saying I (a huge human) would accelerate faster than>1lbs. rocks?

I'm asking why you think rocks that are in front of me would be a risk.

"Yo dude checkout my secret rock spot, it's 13 kilometers over there"
Even way back then, they already used the metric system!
It was the most natural thing to do

Wasn't that long ago that people even had pet rocks.
Ehhhhh, believe it or not the 1970s was 50 years ago.
The 70s will remain thirty years ago until the day I die.
I wasn't even alive in the seventies and I still calculate it as just before I was born
That '70s Show aired in 1998, 22 years after 1976, when it was set.
1998 was 27 years ago.
Can't be. I was born in the 70s and I'm only what the fuck?
ancient history
Literally start of epoch. 🙃

My favorite rock also has a name: Mount Saint Helens
You don't have a favorite Rock?

My favorite rock has a first name, it's H-O-M-E-R. My favorite rock has a second name, it's H-O-M-E-R.
Don’t mind Geologists
Sea otters exhibit this behavior. They keep their favorite rock in their pouches and use them to crack open shellfish.
Cats have had domesticated humans for roughly 10,000 years.
Goats have been domesticated for at least 10,000 years.
Dogs have been domesticated for at bare minimum 15,000 years.
People have had their favourite pet animals for much longer than you think.
Like I have a favorite spatula.

this reminds me of the kam patterson skit
According to archeologists, it was probably obsidian.
Ah, they tried to reach the Nether.
I have a favourite kitchen knife, so it's plausible
