That’s not a rock. That’s a picture of a rock.
To further the spirit of the topic:
picture: An individual painting, drawing, or other representation on a surface, of an object or objects; esp. such a representation as a work of art. (Now the prevailing sense.)
image: An optical appearance or counterpart of an object, such as is produced by rays of light either reflected as from a mirror, refracted as through a lens, or falling on a surface after passing through a small aperture. Such an appearance may also be a mere subjective impression on the sense of sight, as an after-image (q.v.), and the negative image or accidental image seen after looking intently at a bright-coloured object, and having a colour complementary to that of the object. An image produced by reflexion or refraction is called in Optics a real image when the rays from each point of the object actually meet at a point, a virtual image when they diverge as if from a point beyond the reflecting or refracting body.

I’m here to put the F back in Art
Ce n’est pas un rocher
I was looking for this :)
“Ceci” si tu veux être précis
That’s not my dad, that’s a cell phone. Duh!
No, that’s a jpeg representation on your screen of a photo of a rock.
It’s a jpeg representation on your screen of a photo of a rock which you probably have observed with your eyes
I haven’t seen this particular rock with my own eyes.
We are all rock on this blessed day
I’m sorry but if you’d like to have an argument you’ll have to pay.
That is not a pipe
rock
Clearly a stone.
Failed again.
It’s an image.
Yep, seems like a static gif file. That’s pronounced as jiff in case anyone was wondering.
It’s definitely not a pipe
It’s clearly just binary code.
Duh those are electrons.
This implies that you can both see where the electrons are and where they’re going. Obviously that’s impossible.
The only thing obvious is that obvious is but an illusion.
More like quarks and other shit.
The “other shit” being mostly electrons and photons.
Smaller shit than that. If you’ve got quarks in the mix, we’re looking for muons and Higgs bosons and the like.
This is all just a collective hallucination
Right on, man.
Are you talking to me?
Or are you talking to yourself?
Or am I talking to myself?
How can mirrors be real if our eyes aren’t real
But we might be living in a simulation, so the electrons are probably just binary code.
No u
No, it’s your display you are looking at
You’re just like Hitler, blocked.
maybe a pebble. need banana for scale
The last exchange I read around the “banana for scale” thing was inconceivably contentious.
Where’s the NSFW flair on this baby boy?
Macrosand
you mean gravel?
could even be a boulder
Is it? Could be a pebble. We don’t have a scale after all.
Did I hear an rock and stone?
No that’s obviously a tiny boulder
Bite-sized mountain
I don’t think I want to bite that.
The pioneers used the ride these babies for miles.
Ride them for mules?
Tiny boulders do not exist. you have obviously never seen a large boulder the size of a small boulder
It’s not a rock, do your research
I think its an egg painted gray.
You cannot just say this is a ROCK! What type of rock, is it igneous, sedimentary or metamorphic rock, then what rock is it, is it granite or norite. And what is the damn mineralogy, are there any feldspars or over identifiers
That is an island!
Nobody is an island
Those who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw rocks
This is not a rock. It is just a pebble.
Everybody must get stoned
That’s a rock, alright.
No, it’s not.
It’s a giant pebble, get your facts straight
Its actually a stone
Source?
NO IT’S A STONE NOT A ROCK
EVERY STONE IS A ROCK YOU STONE BRAINED ROCK
DID I HEAR A ROCK AND STONE?
Stoned rock
Brock?
sees Misty
Watergun activated
If you don’t rock and stone, you ain’t coming home.
Rock and stone forever! ⛏️
ROCK! AND! STONE!
UMM ACTUALLY I’M A ROCK BRAINED STONE
YOU’RE PROBABLY STONED YOURSELF SINCE YOU’RE SPOUTING UTTER NONSENSE
I definitely wouldn’t argue about this
Yes you would!
Ho, buddy.
That’s pet rock. I thought they discontinued that thing.
“The guy made a million dollars!”
