The pictures imply a specific definition of "perfect," and if we're just going by the pics then that sword stick trumps the smooth rock.

BUT if we get to choose the definition of "perfect" then I'm pretty sure the coolest "rocks" I can imagine finding would trump the coolest "sticks" I can imagine finding.

It is true this is a particularly good stick and particularly drab rock. I might be biased TEAM STICK FOR LIFE

[-] kaklerbitmap@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

I admire your conviction

[-] pirat@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

Stick fleeting. Rock is lasting. also a good roxk is great for a sling

[-] webp@mander.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago

What if the perfect versions are both petrified wood?

[-] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 18 points 3 weeks ago

It will always be the stick.

[-] tacosanonymous@mander.xyz 14 points 3 weeks ago

Rock. Keep it on a shelf forever. Maybe polish it up a bit.

[-] emeralddawn45@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah I have a bunch of rocks I've picked up because they were either extra pretty and cool colours, or just really smooth and a nice shape. I would definitely pick up that stick and swing it around a bit and carry it with me for the rest of the hike, but when I get back to the car I'm tossing it into the forest or leaving it at the trailhead for someone else to find. That rock is definitely coming home with me though.

God dammit Mary, they are minerals not rocks.

[-] RacerX@lemmy.zip 10 points 3 weeks ago

Sticks can be lightsabers, great swords, staves, walking sticks, katanas, guitars, hockey sticks/golf clubs, and hundreds of other things.

A rock is a rock.

[-] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

A rock can be a dragon egg, a magical talisman, a portable forcefield, a gold nugget, a skipping stone, a pet, a communicator, or even just a rock.

[-] RacerX@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 weeks ago

You had me at dragon egg.

[-] ace_garp@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Still have the stick, rock got skipped at first lake.

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 7 points 3 weeks ago

My intrusive thoughts would take over if I ever held that rock and I would absolutely YEET it.

[-] Melobol@lemmy.ml 7 points 3 weeks ago

Rock!
You can hold onto it as a paper weight for reat of your life or carry it around in your pocket - knowing you have the perfect rock!

[-] Sludgeyy@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

You can make a perfect rock way easier than you can make a perfect stick.

[-] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

i have room to keep the rock, where would i even put the stick

[-] WanderWasp 4 points 3 weeks ago

in your enemies sternum, where else?

[-] FluorideMind@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Rock as adult. Stick as child.

[-] GalacticGrapefruit@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

As an adult, I'd wish I had both.

[-] AntiOutsideAktion@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago

Leave everything but trash other people dropped

[-] hamid@crazypeople.online 2 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, another reason I like stick, I will break it and leave it behind. I don't have any sticks at home. Rock might be too tempting

[-] Fancy_Gecko@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 weeks ago

rock is this true ?

[-] LogicalDrivel@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 weeks ago

Rock. It will last through the ages/random moves. Its small and portable but substantial enough to be satisfying. My only concern is id be afraid id try to skip it across a lake and lose it.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Depends on how stingy we are being about the definition of rock. If it can't be entirely formed of carbon as like a giant diamond worth a few hundred million I can then sell, I'm going stick.

Rock is easier to carry; less fragile too.

[-] Blibly@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

STICK! STICK! STICK!

[-] xorollo@leminal.space 4 points 3 weeks ago

Rock. I just think it's neat.

[-] RiverRock@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Perfect rock is perfect for throwing, but then you don't have it anymore

[-] Leviathan@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Perfect stick

[-] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

The rock because in dirty for what I did to one like it. I took it from a gorgeous beach and lost it the next day, dooming it to suburban hell somewhere when it fell out of an unzipped pouch.

Or it escaped.

[-] ashenone@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

I'd skip the shit out of that rock, but I'd take a cool stick cause my dog would also appreciate it

[-] rImITywR@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

hit rock as far as I can with stick

[-] Egriaga@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 weeks ago

Stick is king

[-] Oppopity@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 weeks ago

I could enjoy the stick a lot for a day but the rock I could put on my desk and enjoy it a little every time I see it.

[-] Aceofspades@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Wait, wait. Does that rock keep ~~bears~~ tigers away?

Edit: Remembered the scene wrong.
