    Once you got the stick, ain’t nobody gonna tell you that you can’t take the rock too.

    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 wild argument…

        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 stick seems less of a win. Its big and cumbersome once it outlives its usefulness or it breaks. The rock can provide longer but smaller returns, and can outlive your ancestry if taken care of.

          Press X to doubt.

          Stone has one use as a thrown weapon, and you must have accuracy. It could be used as a blunt instrument but that requires very close proximity.

          Alternatively you can sharpen the stick, and have a length to keep things at bay.

    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

    I’ve already got a perfect stick so I’d go with the rock. If I did not have my perfect stick though, rough choice. That’s a damn fine stick

    Stick, I’m better at swinging than I am at throwing.

    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
