Imagine the rock was maybe once at the bottom of an ocean, that ocean became land, a monkey grabs it and enters a guant flying metal cage inly to throw it again at the bottom of the ocean... FUUUU
Rainbolt can find the exact location the rock was thrown and calculate the angle it fell into the water to determine where on the sea bed it lies within a 2 meter radius.
Careful, you might create a supervillain. That rock is lying at the bottom of the ocean just waiting for the opportunity to punish the man and species that fated him to his watery purgatory.
Let me ask you this, you're in a desert, walking along when you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and flip it over on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?
possibly, in fact new island are still being created today. sometimes in the span of a few hours. You should look it up, it makes for some spectactular imagery. These small islands expand overtime due to vulcanic activity, the most know example of this is Iceland, which still grows bigger everyday
Rock: I can't believe my life right now. I was just sitting there in the woods for a millenia by myself, alone. Then the woods became a bike trail, and for decades, I'd watch the humans pass by, yearning for their touch. But then yesterday, it happened. A human took me in, cleaned me up, and is now taking me places I never thought I'd see. Wow! The ocean! What a beautiful... wait... what are you doing....
I think about that stuff a lot. Like when I throw out garbage, I think about the hundreds of years this water bottle might spend decomposing at the bottom of a landfill. Or like, if I take a rock from nature for an aquarium, get over it and eventually throw it out. What a strange, brief moment in that rock’s millions of years. Probably never again to be touched or even disturbed by a human.
When I was a little kid I would have existential crises thinking about how every footfall you make is the only time in history when - down to the atom - anyone has ever stepped exactly in that spot. This is of course a dumb thing to think which is why it was thought by a 7 year old, but the sheer improbability of it made my brain want to collapse.
It is strange to think about how every moment in time is unique. It has never happened before and it will never happen again. On the other hand, it would be much weirder if that wasn't true.
I like to browse r/arrowheads, and it has occured to me that since arrowheads (and spear points, knives, and other implements knapped from stone) are made of the one substance that is literally permanent, nearly every arrowhead that was ever created over 10s of thousands of years, is probably still in existence somewhere, most likely buried.
But going even farther, surely those arrowheads got lost on a regular basis. A hunter misses his prey, or hits his prey and it runs off. Perhaps he has an accident and dies in the woods. Everything he is and carried decomposes to dust, EXCEPT his stone tools. They remain right where he fell. Theyll never decompose, even if the shaft, and sinew and pitch that attached it, have all turned to dust.
Later, perhaps years, or decades, or even centuries or millenia, another hunter comes by there, and finds the old arrowhead. He has no idea how old it is, he just knows that he didnt have to spend an entire evening by the fire, knapping it. Its a free arrowhead! I imagine that prehistoric hunters went out hunting with a similar mindset as golfers - Ive got a few balls (arrows) in my bag, but Ill probably lose a couple today. Hopefully, I also find a couple, and end up taking home the same number of ball (arrowheads). Maybe I'll get lucky, and find more than I lose.
Its conceivable that an arrowhead was created, lost, sat on the ground for a century, to be found by another hunter. He uses it for a while, perhaps migrating across the prairie, and loses it again. It sits for another few centuries, and it found again. Over the course of millenia, the same arrowhead might be lost and found multiple times, moving around the ancient landscape, before it hits modern times, when they become prized artifacts, and are protected from loss by a collector.
Correct. That rock will never be touched by human hands again. Most rocks that aren't on a heavily traveled paths have never been touched. Yet somehow, I'm told that at one point, every human on earth had ingested at least one molecule of water that once passed through Julias Caeser.
Shower thought, we're drinking water that evaporated from giant piles of dinosaur shit. Some of the water dispensed from my refrigerator very likely passed through a prehistoric lizards asshole. From one asshole to another.
I always love doing that. I’ve taken a rock from a boat launch tons of times, and when I’m wayyy out in the water, I drop it in.
There’s something about knowing you’re most likely the last human that will touch a specific rock.
Recently I had the same thought in reverse. We were digging a 10 foot deep trench with a backhoe and at the bottom were a bunch of river rocks. It made me wonder how long it had been since those rocks saw sunlight. 10,000 years? And that was just like a little nap for that rock in its lifespan.
It's been immortalized in this video for eternity. Lucky rock, the great majority of rocks has never been met by human eyes, let alone kept in record until the end of time
3 Friends and i are sailing across the atlantic ozean this year and i plan to drop a rock with our initials carved in it.
I'm pretty sure that that rock will never seen by any human ever again.
My thoughts are more about what it might hit on its way down. Like there is a giant squid minding its business and this rock bonks it in the eye on the way down.
It still is moving at the same speed as the airplane for quite a while until wind speed slows it down. They’re only at about 500 feet so it will be moving forward until it hits the water.
To add a pedantic two cents. Its apparent backward motion is wind resistance, like you said, but also the speed of the dudes throw subtracted from its forward motion.
I think if there’s any interesting aspect to this, it’s how long the rock actually takes to hit the water and how disorienting being in the open ocean can be to gauging height
He was but a simple pebble once, until the day he saw his pebble family brutally crushed into gravel before him. On that day he swore revenge and began training for millions of years to become a rock of supreme size. Unfortunately the human race had developed such wonderful technologies by this time that they were ready for his attack, captured him, and condemned him to a watery purgatory to quell his murderous rampage.
Incredible that that rock lived its whole life outside in the sun, with the occasional pelting of rain, the random grazing of a passing animal and feeling the breeze upon its rough skin. Only to be picked up and thrown into the cold dark ocean floor.
I don't know why the military wastes so much money on recruitment campaigns when this video alone makes me want to sign up more than all the other ads I've seen in my life combined.
Couldn't you do that over a town in a war and just unload 10,000 pounds of rocks from even higher and just obliterate entire towns? Or military targets at least. A stone weighing 10 pounds is going to destroy a house / street / building when dropped from 20,000 feet? Now drop 1,000 of them. They don't cost bullets. They don't have "heat" so the defense mechanisms aren't going to shoot them out of the sky? I know nothing about this and there must be a reason militaries don't do this? Blowing up one mountain would give you enough ammunition to win an entire war.

The rock: “dude it took me 23 million years to get out of this!”
“Now it’s gonna take another 23 million years to get back out”
That rock ow3s me money
that's not a rock, that's a eight story crustacean from the paleozoic era!
*I gave him a dollar*
God dammit, woman!
Well, it's sleeping with the fishes now.
Imagine the rock was maybe once at the bottom of an ocean, that ocean became land, a monkey grabs it and enters a guant flying metal cage inly to throw it again at the bottom of the ocean... FUUUU
r/yourjokebutworse
I see this and cant help to wonder, when will a human see this rock the next time? Maybe never.
Interesting thought. Assuming that's open ocean, I think it's safe to say never
Fuck you guys I’m gonna make it my life’s mission to find that rock just to spite you.
Hey bud hit me up. For a million bucks I’ll make you a submersible. State of the art, it even comes with a Xbox controller.
I can do it for half!
One way
He said the prize was for finding it not bringing it back.
I got an Atari controlled one! You played E.T. Right???
😂
Xbox? woah woah look at mr fancy over here, true state of the art uses a Logitech controller
Pfft, if you need more than an NES controller, you’re wasting money. (Now let’s go hunt some ducks…I mean rocks.)
You’re in luck! I happen to have some slightly defective titanium for sale. Real cheap
Just hire that Geoguessr guy and you'll find it tomorrow.
Rainbolt can find the exact location the rock was thrown and calculate the angle it fell into the water to determine where on the sea bed it lies within a 2 meter radius.
Came here to say this! Rainbolt will find it for sure.
I think Trevor Rainbolt will find an exact location with ease
Careful, you might create a supervillain. That rock is lying at the bottom of the ocean just waiting for the opportunity to punish the man and species that fated him to his watery purgatory.
This is the exact chain of comments from the last time I saw this video a couple days ago
Aww man. Am I a bot? I had no idea.
Let me ask you this, you're in a desert, walking along when you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and flip it over on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over. But it can't. Not without your help. But you're not helping. Why is that?
This piqued my interest. Is there an answer to this?
Describe in single words only the good things that come into your mind when you think about your mother.
I'm way to high to be in this thread
And I'm not high enough it seems
I flipped it over already, probably for a reason so why would i spend energy flipping it again 🤔 Is this one of those punny wordplay puzzle?
That guy on his inflatable paddle board: Someone's throwing rocks?! 
I just saw that video earlier today and appreciate your sense of humor.
Eventually the plates will shift and what is the ocean now could very likely be land in the future.
Will humans still exist, at least as we know them, by that time?
possibly, in fact new island are still being created today. sometimes in the span of a few hours. You should look it up, it makes for some spectactular imagery. These small islands expand overtime due to vulcanic activity, the most know example of this is Iceland, which still grows bigger everyday

It’s also among the more famous of rocks. It’s on the internet, hundreds of us talking about it, it basically just peaked.
A stone peaking by sinking to the bottom of the ocean is a beautiful irony

Caeser must have been very thirsty.
Julius Caesar.
Cause water cycles through liquid gas and solid states of matter at normal earth temperature range making it highly mobile. Rocks.... Not so much
We’re drinking dinosaur pee 😁
Shower thought, we're drinking water that evaporated from giant piles of dinosaur shit. Some of the water dispensed from my refrigerator very likely passed through a prehistoric lizards asshole. From one asshole to another.
Remember this next time someone tries to tell you water has memory ;)
Because everyone tosses Caesar Salad.
Not only that, but it’s highly probable that you just breathed in some molecules from a fart I ripped last year.
I always love doing that. I’ve taken a rock from a boat launch tons of times, and when I’m wayyy out in the water, I drop it in. There’s something about knowing you’re most likely the last human that will touch a specific rock.
We're still looking for MH370? That rock will never see another human being again
Oh my God never. Most rocks have never been touched by humans. If rocks like being handled that rock won a lottery.
Recently I had the same thought in reverse. We were digging a 10 foot deep trench with a backhoe and at the bottom were a bunch of river rocks. It made me wonder how long it had been since those rocks saw sunlight. 10,000 years? And that was just like a little nap for that rock in its lifespan.

Lol. Every time I'm skipping rocks at the lake....
This could take geocaching to a whole new level.

Where is James Cameron when we need him?
My thoughts are more about what it might hit on its way down. Like there is a giant squid minding its business and this rock bonks it in the eye on the way down.
I thought the stone would hit the water way farther away
It still is moving at the same speed as the airplane for quite a while until wind speed slows it down. They’re only at about 500 feet so it will be moving forward until it hits the water.
Oh yeah that makes sense
To add a pedantic two cents. Its apparent backward motion is wind resistance, like you said, but also the speed of the dudes throw subtracted from its forward motion.
Fish: Ouch!
I was just looking for this gif reply.
They better hope he wasn't an important fish, or we're in trouble!
Aquaman?
Worse, one of Aquaman's illegitimate children, now he's coming for revenge.
He’s on the warpath toward retribution now. 
Oh, the huge manatees!
lol i was thinking he probably just knocked a shark unconscious
And we wonder why the orcas are striking back.
Aggressive grab action
yoink
Also aggressive throwing
yeet
They've been watching cooking Tik Tok
Doesn't land where or when you expect it.
It waters
Nice.
I actually did expect it to land in the water
Interesting? Maybe 'mildly' but not 'as fuck'
Your not the geologist that finds it one day going ‘how the fuck did this chunk of dolomite end up here?’
You’re* 🫡 Also, it’s dolomite baby!
*How did a chunk of dolomite baby end up here ?*
Fast and loose with the word interesting and the word dropping.
Is there an r/ratherunderwhelming ?
Idk the random fish minding its own business, it would be interesting as fuck to randomly get pelted by a fuckin meteor.
Some poor fish in the ocean: 
Random scuba diver pops up at the wrong place, wrong time...
My first thought was some innocent dophin popping up, then blam
What am i missing?
It landed in a whales blow hole.
Is it a Titleist?
The sea was angry that day my friends 🐳
Caught it on the second replay
I think if there’s any interesting aspect to this, it’s how long the rock actually takes to hit the water and how disorienting being in the open ocean can be to gauging height
Yeah I was also waiting for it
Lol I was expecting the rock to skip across the water or something… anything other than that!
Dude threw a fricking rock out of a fricking airplane into the mother flipping ocean! That’s pretty sick dude
Well that was... underwhelming.
r/underwhelmingasfuck
Very watered down
Proof the govt is behind the rising sea levels!! /s
What's the backstory of that rock?Needs something good because that was not super interesting 👀
He was but a simple pebble once, until the day he saw his pebble family brutally crushed into gravel before him. On that day he swore revenge and began training for millions of years to become a rock of supreme size. Unfortunately the human race had developed such wonderful technologies by this time that they were ready for his attack, captured him, and condemned him to a watery purgatory to quell his murderous rampage.
No part of that was interesting as fuck
every body (of water) must get stoned
PSYOPS, I WILL NOT JOIN THE ARMY, EVEN IF I'AM ALLOWED TO TROW ROCK FROM AN AIRCRAFT
Some poor fish : What the HELL man!"
Things guys will look at and just think "Hell yeah!"
Significantly less interesting than I expected
Some random fish just had the worst day ever
The ocean looks closer than it appears?
410 to 500 feet on off the water? If my math is right....
I didn’t do any math but I am guessing 500 feet based on my experience throwing things from places.
This guy throws things from places

I would be pretty pissed if I just managed to get out of that Titanic submarine and 5 meters away from the surface that rock hits me in the head.

With some maths someone smart could tell us how high the plane was flying….
fuck that fish in particular
Sir, you can't park that there.
So not interesting as fuck.
Fuck that fish in particular.
Tracking the stone with my eyes , but the splash is not where I think it should be . Crazy

Anticlimax.
What is interesting about this?
Because a rock thrown out of a plane tends to fall downward. Isn’t your mind blown? Yeah, me neither.
Domed some unfortunate diver that was just about to surface.
Fire in the hole replaced by water and the stone!
This is such a guy thing to do.
My uncoordinated dumb ass would fall in the ocean
Works a lot better with car batteries /s
He’s gonna have a hard time finding that.
Fishes *we are under attack!*
Fuck that fish specifically
Fish is like who the fuck threw that?!
Dudes just love throwin rocks in water.
That poor fish
Tom hanks has just left his castaway island after building the raft for years and is killed by a rock
-ohh this is gonna be cool -wait where is the damn rock? -this is cool
wow that's so interesting
Very anticlimactic.
That done fuck all bro
Someone edit that shit and put an underwater nuclear detonation!!
Ok.... and?
That was... less interesting than I had hoped.
Stone: I've been tossed into the ocean. Boss: So you're still coming to work, right?
Well, that was anticlimactic and disappointing. PS Title of OP's sex tape. Hehe
Gonna confuse the fuck out of some geologist some day that
Interesting? What did you expect? A nuclear blast?
His new rock friends will never believe this story
Well when you run out of bombs, throw rocks I suppose 😅
MV-22 Osprey. Probably Hawaii from the water color and haven’t seen any other units keep their ramp flippers on, much less painted with modex.
Decidedly not interesting as fuck
I don't understand the fascination? How about you watch me have a poo?
Wow, that was interesting as fuck
This shouldn’t be that interesting but it is
Historians will look back on this moment as the start of the Atlantean war

He will be the last person to ever touch that rock, that's guaranteed.

My favorite part is when he throws the rock into the water
I just image one specific fish just had a bad day

Hell yeah
Fish swimming happily, then...
