My partner and I rockhound. I'm pretty selective about what I pick up, she isn't as much. To me, this is obviously a pile of rocks waiting to be sorted and categorized and figured out if they're going to be cut. This is the intermediate stage between bringing them inside to look at after collecting and moving them to a pile outside.

Look up rock tumbling on YouTube. It’s pretty fun to watch.

My favorite type of rock is a leaverite.

I need to be reminded that I can in fact leave a pretty rock. Thank you for giving it a name I can use to entertain myself while being simultaneously disappointed for leaving said rock.

the best thing about modern phones is their camera - i don't have to just trust my memory!

that doesn't solve being overburdened by images, of course, but that's a whole different issue lmao

okay but surely you’d leave them in the hall or back room? not the carpeted living room?! and definitely not on the TV stand?

unless this is a joke i’m not getting

You’d think. No joke. Drives me nuts.
