I'm not convinced that weighs 500 tons, that's the same as at least 65 of the largest African elephants or 2.5 of the largest blue whales

Morning, yes, I'll have 65 of your largest African elephants please.

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.

The name "odd stone" is really deserved. There's also a pine tree growing on top of the rock

[–] peopleproblems 1 points 6 months ago

Neat. The trick rock has a pet tree

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It's pretty funny that you think it's weird.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 months ago

I think they just hate reddit.

If you think that I go on reddit to copy comments you're batshit crazy man. Find a doctor or something.

The tireless work of the repost police must be exhausting. You lone hero you.
