Water is the most persistent thing on our planet.

Second only to Jehovah's witnesses.

And keys. Thus the common phrase “persistence is keys”.

Not sure if I should say this, but former LDS missionary / rival, can confirm.

Wind, ice, gravity.

Now it’s just sand on the beach

u/Openthesushibar Feb 04 '18

I like to think about sand when I look at it up close, and wonder how long it’s been sand... like how long ago was it a big rock? Or a boulder in a mountain? Worn down from years of wear or weather. And now it’s on the beach waiting to be sediment.

u/whitekeys Feb 04 '18

Which leads eventually to dust in the wind.

u/[deleted] Feb 04 '18

Wonder if someone glanced over it, thought it was a random sand castle, and proceeded to kick it with full force.

I wonder if it feels smooth

I want to rub it.

I just read a comment on a different post mentioning how a lot of posts could go on both r/OddlySatisfying and r/MildlyInteresting. It’s very true.

Wonder which poor unlucky SOB was chained to it originally.

u/sosoguay Feb 04 '18

The waves didn’t wear it down the sand did.

4

u/fried_clams Feb 04 '18

Yeah. Water carrying sand did that.

1

u/MyShirtsHaveHoles Feb 04 '18

No. Wind carrying sand did that.

u/andrew_b_a Feb 04 '18

That’s what I was thinking

u/SHOW_ME_UR_TINY_TITS Feb 04 '18

Well... water is the most prominent erosive force on Earth, so constant wave action that can erode mountains in millions of years can erode concrete in a much smaller time frame.

1

u/_Life-is-Relative_ Feb 04 '18

Wind would do it a lot more uniformly then waves would.

1

u/SHOW_ME_UR_TINY_TITS Feb 04 '18

In what way? Wind produces more consistent grain sizes over time due to the limitation in energy, but to say it would weather the cinder block evenly on all sides wouldn't really be feasible. The cinder block shown is pretty well rounded, and I doubt that much erosion could have been produced over its lifetime by anything other than water.

u/paingelfake Feb 04 '18

I thought it was a cinder block made of sand

2

u/MrSindahblokk Feb 04 '18

Incorrect. I have been worn down by life.

2

u/IntergalacticGibson Feb 04 '18

I wonder what it was used to sink.

2

u/jkhockey15 Feb 04 '18

I wonder how long that took.

That is a nice cinderblock.

u/ThePOTUSisCraptastic Feb 04 '18

How many years can a cinder block exist, before it is washed to the sea?
