I want the stick, but I know the rock is all around more practical.
I understand that this is a hypothetical scenario. So please, educate me on how taking a rock vs a stick being practical isn’t a wildargument…
Honestly, people might judge me for carrying a stick out of the woods, a rock can get stuffed in my pocket. The stick will eventually lose its charm and just be in the way. The rock is small and can be forgotten and not be in the way.
You can use the rock as a crude handaxe to crush and cut things, such as reed fibers to tie the wooden sticks of your hut together. You can make do with plenty of subpar sticks, but a subpar rock is going to multiply the work it takes to get a roof over your head.
I’d argue stick is more practical. You’re already outdoors, stick gives you walking aid, brush clearing, spider web first defense, potential weapon. Even non perfect rocks are useful but a great stick is mikes ahead of a wonky one.
The rock would make a better weapon than that stick.
If there is a body of water nearby then rock, otherwise stick. Getting a perfect skipping rock for the perfect throw is a rare and beautiful thing
Stick.
Stick can go “swoosh” when you swing it.
EZ. Stick.
Bruh the rock is coming regardless. The only question is whether you have room for the stick too
If you don’t have room for the stick inside the house, leave it next to the back door
I would be sad about leaving either, with full blown buyer’s remorse for the other one. So knowing me, and agreeing with the other commenters about taking only memories, I’d probably opt to leave both and smile that I found them.
Rock. Look at it.
I already have a pretty perfect rock. But a perfect stick is a rare find. I think I’ll take another rock
The rock of course, what kind of stupid question is this.
Rock. Then I use it to crack the skull of the dude who took the stick and now I have both.
I’ll take the stick and use it to make you give me the rock.
You’re going to risk breaking the stick for the rock?
It’s a perfect stick, it cannot break, look at it
Stick. No question. No hesitation. That’s a damn good stick.
The rock of course. Why would you want a stick that has the thin proportions of a sword? A thin, lightweight sword only works because of the sharp blade. A “perfect” stick would be more of a straight pole, or have a heavier end for bludgeoning.
Depends on where the rock is from or what kind of wood.
Oh no. I distract my wife and take them both?
Is there any other option? There’s no way to just leave one of those behind. It is just unthinkable.
