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

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

    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.

    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.

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

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

  • 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.

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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    Projectile weapons are pretty good. You'd need a sling or imperfect stick to throw the stone & make it competitive. How many inventory spaces do I have remaining?
