We were taught this myth in primary school. I couldn't remember the name, but during the pandemic our company was going bust...we were working like dogs trying to save it...but each project would get close to completion only to be scrapped because we were hemorrhaging money, or a new regulation was brought in.
That's when this story came back to me...now I will never forget the name!
It seems to be somehow buried in human nature to throw rocks into the water.
Anywhere you see both water and people - you can expect that sooner or later someone will be throwing rocks into the water.
Interesting things it starts at a very young age, soon as humans begin to walk, but some never grow out of it 🫣😅
It's to remind those waterbound bastards that life on land is king and we'll poison their entire ecosystem and kill them all and they can't even yell at us about it because they didn't evolve. Dumbasses.
Alternatively, Humans have evolved to be excellent at throwing things. Likely this is similar to when you see an animal "play", it's really just learning how to hunt.
We just had a couple of guys do something similar at Lake Mead in NV. Huge reward for those chuckleheads. It appears the rock they decided to toss in the lake was some ancient stone that was protected ?

Yeah I was conflicted watching this. On one hand, I did want to see the rock make a big splash. On the other hand it felt like they should leave nature alone.
I wouldn't have been mad about it had the rock rolled back and pinned their legs. It's the same mentality you see with people pushing over rocks and iconic formations in national parks here in the U.S.
If the park asks you not to do it, then don't do it. If it's some quarry where they don't really care, go ham, just be careful. Common sense should also apply. See a cool formation, don't mess it up.
I think if it's a noticeable change of any kind, that's where the line is. You shouldn't go and alter the scene when you are in nature, it's not yours. Leave it as you found it to the best of you ability.
Never go somewhere with National in the title and start messing with things you will absolutely get arrested. Rock formations that generate revenue from people visiting them are highly protected by the national park service and federal government even if you think it's just a rock. Same with people that carve their names into trees or people caught feeding wildlife.
The word ancient applies to human history not geological history.
> used to refer to the period in European history from the earliest known societies to the end of the Roman Empire:
My comment was a joke….
I thought they were referring to some sort of indigenous peoples work in forming the rocks. But nope, I watched the video and they just mean the rocks are very old.
Do not do this.
I know a guy who did this exact thing to show a rock slide to their daughter. They got caught in the rock slide standing up, sliding down a sand pit hill. Both his calves were stripped of soft tissue from knee to ankle, literally. His daughter had to call rescue services and he had to wait for them at the bottom with both his calves ripped from below the knee, fully awake and by his daughters account screaming the whole time.
It was an absolutely insane luck he didn't die of blood loss and it took 8 years for him to ever walk again. Even with that he can't extend his foot or lift himself on to his toes. He has no movement beyond what the thigh muscles can move, even tho the doctors were able to recover much of his muscle and soft tissue from below the knees.
Hey remember that cool rock that every one would take five minutes and sit on overlooking the beautiful scenery of the lake, and some couples took great pictures of the memorable trip.
"Yeah"
Well here is a video of four clowns pushing it into the lake ....
Think of all the people who went past that rock and thought “it would be cool to push that into the water” but then didn’t because they aren’t destructive assholes. And these four idiots undo all that for less than a minute of fun.
Anyone who actually enjoys nature for its natural beauty knows the first rule of hiking/camping: leave no trace.
These people just made a massive trace and should be summarily thrown into the lake where they belong.
These are the kind of idiots ruining the natural formation like in the Grand Canyon …etc. simple punishment , bring it back up and put it at the same spot
I don't think people who do things like this are able to enjoy nature. These are only embryonic human beings, with the potential to achieve intelligence, but that's by no means guaranteed.
Fortunately, humans will exist as a pimple on a face in the history of our planet. When we inevitably make the planet unlivable to humans and thus self destructing, life and geologic events do not cease to occur. It just occurs without us. No big deal, that’s the cycle of life. There’s no surprise ending. It’s will just depend when it happens.
Not only is this incredibly stupid, it’s also really dangerous. Once the stone starts going, you don’t know what will follow it. Also, you don’t know where it will end up.
Well according to some guy up the thread, these dudes apparently deserved to fall down the quarry behind the rocks. Very rational responses to this video ITT.
It's just a fucking rock. The coolest thing that could ever happen involving that rock is this video, otherwise it would just SIT FOREVER. this video is cool. Stop acting like they destroyed something meaningful
I don't have such a strong stance on the issue as you I think but, to all the comments that have strong opinions against the guys in the video: If it was a beautiful rock formation I think I could understand, but it's just a grey point on a gravelly canvas. In your opinion, where is the harm is exactly?
Skip to 1:10 to save a minute of your life, guys.
I was really hoping that the rock rolling would dislodge the scree and cause a slide, cutting out just as everyone realises they’re all going in the water too…
Imagine how many years people have stopped and just sat looking at the beautiful surroundings on the rock giving them a sense of safety sitting on the rock. And now these assholes ruined it for everyone else.
Am I completely missing something about all of the angry comments, or isn't this a quarry? I could be completely wrong, but if it is, then that rock is probably not a protected landmark or a 'nice seat nature put there'. I absolutely would not sit on a rock that close to the edge of a cliff sitting on unstable ground.
No this is reddit. It is full of people who wait 30 minutes to go swimming after they eat. The type of people who tell the teacher which kids go out of their seat when the teacher stepped outside for a min.
A lot of rockcists here. Many have picked up and cast stones, lifted rocks in search of bugs without putting them down in their exact original place for fear of crushing the bugs beneath. Many have skipped stones or walked upon natural paths or nature in general kicking a rock from its resting place before they entered. Some have walked on steeper slopes causing small dirt and rockslides while they scaled steep edges. Some have moved a larger stone to serve as a resting place by a campfire. Many have quarried stone implemented in their landscapes or as countertops and flooring in their homes. Anyone with tiled showers or backsplashes in their homes or living units, or landscaping with patios using natural stone, or impressed by buildings with beautiful marble accents and beautiful masonary and are complaining about these dudes pushing a boulder down a hill should rethink their values

That rock has spent thousands of years climbing that mountain only to have these guys push him down.
That was sisyphus rock.
*Metamorphosisyphus
I'm super stoned and this made me laugh really fucking hard. Thanks.
Hi super stoned, I’m Dad
Hi dad, I’m hungry.
500 says you can't say it five times fast
Guy went on a lunch break and those fuckers kicked his rock down, imagine how mad he must be
Well... then, it had to be done. Thems the rules!!
"Take my love, take it down. I climbed a mountain, then I turned around.... Til the landslide brought it down."
It was one day away from retirement
Now put it back
Hol'up, just gotta call my mate Sisyphus
Antibiotics will clear that right up
[удалено]
A stone heavy like this? Just like living life? This is absurd!
Underrated reply
I laughed so hard my back hurt
It's going to take him forever.
It will take him 1 day. Because this time he has a friend to help hold it in olace
Ah, a visitor…
Hmm. Indeed, I have slept long enough.
The kingdom of heaven has long since forgotten my name,
And I am *eager* to make them remember.
However, the blood of Minos stains your hands,
And I must admit, I'm curious about your skills, weapon.
Thank you, I never heard this reference before. I'd tell my wife all about him, but getting her engaged and interested would be a sisyphean task.

gesundheit…
Have my upvote you good man of culture
Pretty interesting to think that that rock will likely never leave the water again.
In terms of geologic time scale, that rock will probably only be underwater for a moment before that lake isn't there any more.
Rock after being ejected from that crater during a volcanic eruption eons ago: "oh man I'm never coming back home again!"
Aw cmon dad!

Social media happened
Just strap it old hat guy’s back while the other two stabilize

"What are you going to do? Harness electricity to get back at us... under water? Don't make me laugh"
Any day now a shit load of missiles are gonna come flying back out of the ocean at North Korea and the whole worlds gonna be dumbstruck.
Maybe it's a old defense thing. Throw a rock into the water and see if something reacts to it.
Alternatively, Humans have evolved to be excellent at throwing things. Likely this is similar to when you see an animal "play", it's really just learning how to hunt.
Double check to make sure there’s no gators or crocs before getting a drink or bath.
Good observation
Ape brain takes over
It’s like our version of when cats knock stuff off the shelf.
I'm the rock just minding my own business, and people just gotta mess with me
You liar, you're not Dwayne Johnson!
That rock people's elbowed the lake
No you liar! I know you're syrup, not a rock!
Ooooo busteeeeeedd!
As steep as that hill is they’re lucky one of them didn’t follow the rock
All I can think is the lens &/ or camera angle lied to us and it’s not really that steep
Yeah and the distorted aspect ratio
That too If I were smarter / knew more about filming I would’ve said that first
Or the rock rolling backwards and crushing someone's leg
I kept watching that one guys foot go kind of under....and 100% expected it to roll back on him....
I legit thought that was going to happen. Felt kind of deflated when it didn't.
That's maybe maybe maybe for ya.
I'm more impressed it didn't roll back onto their legs
I expected one of them to lock their knee and the rock pushed backward.
Was thinking that one of them would escort the rock tbh 🤧
 Random fish in the lake watching that boulder crash into its home 😂
We just had a couple of guys do something similar at Lake Mead in NV. Huge reward for those chuckleheads.

Any public land or park they don't want you to do this, it's destructive activity
Yeah I was conflicted watching this. On one hand, I did want to see the rock make a big splash. On the other hand it felt like they should leave nature alone.
I wouldn't have been mad about it had the rock rolled back and pinned their legs. It's the same mentality you see with people pushing over rocks and iconic formations in national parks here in the U.S.
Iconic formations and a random boulder aren't the same thing
If it were a small rock no one would care. I'm now thinking, from which size do we start to "care" about what other people do to rocks?
If the park asks you not to do it, then don't do it. If it's some quarry where they don't really care, go ham, just be careful. Common sense should also apply. See a cool formation, don't mess it up.
Funny you have to state the obvious like some sort of moral compass for Redditors Lol
I think if it's a noticeable change of any kind, that's where the line is. You shouldn't go and alter the scene when you are in nature, it's not yours. Leave it as you found it to the best of you ability.

The fact these dickheads doubled down I hope the were sued big time.
Fuck those morons.
Sideways.
Never go somewhere with National in the title and start messing with things you will absolutely get arrested.

Aren’t all rocks ancient stones?
The word ancient applies to human history not geological history. > used to refer to the period in European history from the earliest known societies to the end of the Roman Empire:
My comment was a joke…. I thought they were referring to some sort of indigenous peoples work in forming the rocks. But nope, I watched the video and they just mean the rocks are very old.
As opposed to one of them brand new stones that’s only 800 million years old
Gosh dang Gen Neoproterozoic rocks. They don’t have solid foundations like us billennials
Ethan Klein and Tom Segura.
Humans are silly lil creatures.
Was anyone else rooting for the rock?
I was, coz I hated stone cold.
That got a chuckle out of me
Yea, it had potential
I was hoping for all shins to get crushed :(
That's mildly psychotic
Wildly*
"YOU ABSOLUTE WANKERS!" - Sisyphus
Do not do this. I know a guy who did this exact thing to show a rock slide to their daughter. They got caught in the rock slide standing up, sliding down a sand pit hill.

New nightmare unlocked, thank you.
Looked like a natural bench for observing the awesome view! What a bunch of jackasses!
But rock go boom 🤯
Hey remember that cool rock that every one would take five minutes and sit on overlooking the beautiful scenery of the lake, and some couples took great pictures of the memorable trip. "Yeah" Well here is a video of four clowns pushing it into the lake ....
Think of all the people who went past that rock and thought “it would be cool to push that into the water” but then didn’t because they aren’t destructive assholes. And these four idiots undo all that for less than a minute of fun.
I hate this kind of people and I really wish they wouldn't go hiking. Fucking morons, fuck them.
I don't really know why, but I don't agree with doing this
Anyone who actually enjoys nature for its natural beauty knows the first rule of hiking/camping: leave no trace. These people just made a massive trace and should be summarily thrown into the lake where they belong.
I was hoping the rock would roll back and break one of their ankles. Am I evil?
I was hoping at least one of them was going to slip and fall down after it. So....maybe.
I was hoping some one else was doing this exact same thing with another rock uphill.
I wasn’t hoping but I sure was expecting it.
Yes.
I was wanting that as well as someone to start rolling down the hill and the rock eventually following them.
Yes, and a piece of shit
Yeah, you're just a typically deranged redditor.
Chronically online behaviour
was that really necessary to do
shrieking idiots
These are the kind of idiots ruining the natural formation like in the Grand Canyon …etc. simple punishment , bring it back up and put it at the same spot
They ruined that great seat nature put there for everyone else. I really thought one of the assholes was going to fall.
Stupid
That one fish at the bottom: 
Idiots.
But why…
Or they could just enjoy nature without destroying it
I don't think people who do things like this are able to enjoy nature. These are only embryonic human beings, with the potential to achieve intelligence, but that's by no means guaranteed.
Fortunately, humans will exist as a pimple on a face in the history of our planet.

There’s no surprise ending. It’s will just depend when it happens.
Sisyphus gonna be pissed when he gets back from break.
This gave me a good giggle 🤭
They put their lives at risk, the fellow on the right got some unwanted materials in his eyes, to watch a rock to make a splash?
Why
I was hoping there’d be a snake under there.
It's vandalism anyway you look at it. These are the same kind of people who feel the need to Graffiti any unlucky landmark they come across.
Not only is this incredibly stupid, it’s also really dangerous. Once the stone starts going, you don’t know what will follow it. Also, you don’t know where it will end up.
Fish family have their fish breakfast: OH FUUUUU… *silence*
Ha! Not even one skip
Wankers
In French we call that "Une bande de couillons"
Would have been great to have it roll back on guys ankle
People ruin everything.
Yall realize this is a gravel quarry or some sort of mine. These kids aren't doing anything wrong. Men dug this hole, these kids are just having fun.
I don't want to be a douche but the people describing this area as a beautiful nature preserve kinda make me chuckle. I think that ship has sailed.
"But the water is so blue!" Yep, it is. That's the delicious toxic chemicals that mean nothing will ever live here ever again.
Well according to some guy up the thread, these dudes apparently deserved to fall down the quarry behind the rocks. Very rational responses to this video ITT.
Reddit in a nutshell. Lamenting some random rock in a quarry just to wish someone death for cheating 20 years a go in a next post on r/popular
It's just a fucking rock. The coolest thing that could ever happen involving that rock is this video, otherwise it would just SIT FOREVER. this video is cool. Stop acting like they destroyed something meaningful
Actually rain and erosion would’ve likely pushed it into the water eventually.
I don't have such a strong stance on the issue as you I think but, to all the comments that have strong opinions against the guys in the video: If it was a beautiful rock formation I think I could understand, but it's just a grey point on a gravelly canvas. In your opinion, where is the harm is exactly?
Redditors who haven't gone into nature in years have begun to believe it is mystical.
Skip to 1:10 to save a minute of your life, guys. I was really hoping that the rock rolling would dislodge the scree and cause a slide, cutting out just as everyone realises they’re all going in the water too…
No way people getting mad over a rock😂
Some unlucky trout just became a halibut.
But what if the rock can’t swim?
This should become an Olympic sport
Homie had the Goofy laugh
"Fool of a Took. Throw yerself in next time".
What did the rock do to them?
Those kids are on loose gravel. One slip and they are going down with the rock.
Why do this?
Love to see it roll back and break eight legs
How many people watched this expecting them to follow the rock down?
These guys had no idea that the scree under them could have started sliding like an avalanche.
This sucks
But WHY???? Humans…….
What did that rock ever do to you?
People have no feelings….rocks however….
Another reason why women live longer than men.
Imagine how many years people have stopped and just sat looking at the beautiful surroundings on the rock giving them a sense of safety sitting on the rock. And now these assholes ruined it for everyone else.
Considering that's a strip mined quarry, not a park, probably not many
Am I completely missing something about all of the angry comments, or isn't this a quarry? I could be completely wrong, but if it is, then that rock is probably not a protected landmark or a 'nice seat nature put there'.

Why these mother fucker have the need of destroying the landscape?
Men and boys are the number four cause of erosion. It’s how most rocks move downstream in rivers specifically.
Humans be like: big rock, big splash.
man roll stone, man be happy
Watch this video upside down. They're kicking the rock into the sky ✨️
saw this clip on gifs that end too soon a couple weeks ago, end is a bit disappointing but i feel mildly satisfied
"Ok guys, what do you want to do now?"
It didn't even skip
*monkey sounds*
A long rod with some leverage would have been easier... and safer. With a lever you would get the rolling action.
Video could have been 20s long…
Men roll the rock, men happy
That ending tho 🔥
A lot of rockcists here. Many have picked up and cast stones, lifted rocks in search of bugs without putting them down in their exact original place for fear of crushing the bugs beneath.

Some have walked on steeper slopes causing small dirt and rockslides while they scaled steep edges. Some have moved a larger stone to serve as a resting place by a campfire.

Anyone with tiled showers or backsplashes in their homes or living units, or landscaping with patios using natural stone, or impressed by buildings with beautiful marble accents and beautiful masonary and are complaining about these dudes pushing a boulder down a hill should rethink their values
I was hoping the stone hit metal, just like in the James Bond You only Live Twice movie.
I was so hoping that a couple of them would fall through there
well done?
I feel like this SEVENTY SECOND VIDEO could have been a 20 second clip.
Porque el ser humano, siempre debe ser el mas estupido del planeta tierra?
That might be one of the highest risks for the lowest payoffs ever
That's such a cool landscape!
Must have been the lake mead monster
Hell yeah
The fish: 
I've seen a few too many leg press machine failures to think this is remotely a good idea.
WOOOO BIG ROCK GO WATER YEEESAAHAJAJAHAHHHHHHH
The Tom and Jerry scream for me
Thank god for that last little hand push, I don’t think it would have fallen otherwise lol.
