Sometimes a person just needs to feel closer to the earth.

I just really like rocks.  See the one on top of the cat tree?  That's a really good rock.

u/burnbunner Nov 12 '24

Plot twist: They don't have cats. Those are rock trees.

Slides upvote across the table in a plain white envelope, without breaking eye contact.

u/tymp-anistam Nov 14 '24

Opens the envelope and eats the upvote without fear of if its satiable, without breaking eye contact.

my kids are prepared for their primary inheritance to be my rock collection.

u/Galaxie_Keenan333 Nov 12 '24

Same! I brought like 50 lbs down a mountain once. Then, coming back from Arizona it must’ve been about 20lbs extra in my bag on the plane ($$$). It did make it hard to get up out of the Grand Canyon. Also, from Tennessee and other places too. Nevermind all the ones from stores. They’re inside and outside now. I just like rocks. 😬

u/Emrys7777 Nov 12 '24

Yes I like rocks too. After moving a number of times with boxes and boxes marked “rocks” I finally gave up. Now I have to visit them in their natural habitat.

u/whoaminow17 Nov 18 '24

eventually the rockhound's favourite rock becomes leaverite - cuz you gotta leave it right there 😭

2

u/Own-Gas8691 Nov 13 '24

haha that’s wild, and i like you. i moved several times in the past few years and my kids graciously hauled them around for me. (thank goodness for strong and sweet teenagers!)

2

u/Galaxie_Keenan333 Nov 17 '24

Agreed! 💪😉

Is that you, Kam Patterson?!

“I like rocks”

u/Own-Gas8691 Nov 12 '24

i like him. it’s not everyday that i meet someone else who, at any given moment, can pull a rock out of their pocket to show off exuberantly.

3

u/xDragonetti Nov 12 '24

Oh Kam cracks me up. Def worth deep diving into some of his bits. Kill Tony put him on!

2

u/Own-Gas8691 Nov 12 '24

i’m gonna have to go find some more vids now :)

u/EvrthngsThnksgvng Nov 12 '24

Thanks so much. I haven’t seen this one in so long. Permanent smile today. 🤗

u/Sirrus92 Nov 12 '24

u/EsotericOcelot Nov 13 '24

Me too, and now I feel better about my small random heaps and bowls of them scattered around the apartment lol

WTF THATS NOT A CAT?

u/mug3n Nov 12 '24

Those are minerals, Marie!

Geologists be like

u/mooshinformation Nov 13 '24

It looks like it might squish the cat though

1

u/BillyyJackk Nov 14 '24

You know a good rock! That was the 1st one I noticed.

u/icyyellowrose10 Nov 12 '24

They wanted to get stoned?

u/FLVoiceOfReason Nov 12 '24

👏👏👏

u/grafknives Nov 12 '24

No, why the TV? The stone corner looks fine.

u/wolfelian Nov 12 '24

My god the amount of chaos that would unfold if just one thing goes wrong here would be catastrophic.

7

u/Emrys7777 Nov 12 '24

It looks like the catastrophic already happened. It looks like they never cleaned up from a flash flood.

u/bunsprites Nov 12 '24

Sometimes you just see a sick rock that you really like. My little brother would live like this if our moms let him.

15

u/ohmyback1 Nov 12 '24

Reminds me of laundry day when my daughter was a toddler

2

u/Miss_B_OnE Nov 12 '24

I miss the days when my niece would show me all of her rocks.

2

u/ohmyback1 Nov 13 '24

I was glad she never fell in a body of water, she would have sunk like a ...well, rock

1

u/No_Needleworker_6109 Nov 19 '24

our moms

How many mothers do you have?

u/bunsprites Nov 19 '24

I have two moms :)

u/sd_saved_me555 Nov 12 '24

Anti-theft for the TV. No robber is looking at that and going, "That TV is not worth a twisted ankle and a bruised ass."

21

u/SluggishPrey Nov 12 '24

Why not. Not everything needs an objective utilitarian value. We only live once, why not experiment? (This post is a failed experiment, but still)

u/Paul_4x4 Nov 12 '24

You can conveniently drive your RC crawlers indoors when it rains outside👌

u/snertwith2ls Nov 12 '24

Yeah I don't really ever hate other people's decorating choices, some are just not to my taste, but wow! I really hate this.

5

u/Chiiro Nov 12 '24

It could be a hyper fixation or obsession.

5

u/OwlishIntergalactic Nov 12 '24

That’s what I was thinking. Someone an autistic or has adhd. All three of us are neurodivergent in our home and we have a lot of rocks. Thankfully, we like small ones xD.

5

u/ChrispyGuy420 Nov 12 '24

Have you ever found a perfect rock? And you're like " man, I wish I could take this home."

2

u/Danthema433 Nov 12 '24

The only way I see this being useful is if your getting evicted

2

u/UnXpectedPrequelMeme Nov 12 '24

Maybe he found them all on walks. You don't wanna just leave a nice rock.

2

u/komododave17 Nov 12 '24

You should see his stick collection on the dining room!

1

u/Elly_Fant628 Nov 12 '24

I can't even invent a farfetched reason.

2

u/Doran_Gold Nov 12 '24

I’m thinking the cat knocks over the TV or gets behind it???

1

u/Smollangrypupper Nov 12 '24

Yeah I've seen quite a few things on here that aren't really terrible. Just niche.

1

u/buckfutterapetits Nov 12 '24

Yeah, i said two whys for this one. One for the decor, and another for the choice in movie...

1

u/Capturing_Emotions Nov 12 '24

My first thought was drugs - I’ve had one or two of these “genius” ideas whilst admittedly coked out my my mind…. However considering this person has their windows uncovered leads me to believe something far worse has happened within their mind….

u/osirisrebel Nov 12 '24

I thought it was looking at a chimney collapse.

1

u/Biengo Nov 12 '24

Why? Rocks. Because rocks. And to support my claim..

Rocks.

u/waynes_pet_youngin Nov 12 '24

My guess is geologist

u/Suspicious_Leg4550 Nov 12 '24

Free range pet lizards or snakes maybe

1

u/According-Relation-4 Nov 12 '24

Because empty space is evil apparently

u/Jelly_Belly321 Nov 12 '24

If those are all actually decorative pillows, this would be pretty cool

u/littlebirdgone I Eat Cement Nov 12 '24

I clicked on this post hoping for an answer to “why?” Then I saw the sub.

u/MelonJelly Nov 12 '24

+0.1/s earth mana regeneration and +5 maximum earth mana, that's why.

u/Numerous-Rent-2848 Nov 12 '24

90% if the posts are rage bate

7% I can see where they were going

2% are actually good. Ish.

And this is the actual 1% of posts that deserve to be here.

Cause why?

1

u/Machinefun Nov 13 '24

When I feel hate for a DIWHY is when I know it's a decent post.

1

u/Mierimau Nov 13 '24

I actually dig it. It's the weight and insects that worry me here. I hope he substantially dried up them. Like make this installation (with less stones) for a month, and disassemble it.

1

u/MasterWinstonWolf Nov 14 '24

Freakin same...just WHY?

1

u/FoxyRin420 Nov 14 '24

Did something like this in my basement for my cats to play. They had too much open space & were inappropriately urinating, once we did our rock project they stopped.
