Stick, I love swords
Stick. No question. No hesitation. That’s a damn good stick.
Rock for sure. That thing would make me happy every time I see it for years. The stick is neat but I’m probably just gonna break it by accident.
The rock of course, what kind of stupid question is this.
I already have a pretty perfect rock. But a perfect stick is a rare find. I think I’ll take another rock
Rock. Then I use it to crack the skull of the dude who took the stick and now I have both.
EZ. Stick.
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
Sticks are temporary, but rocks are forever

I want the stick, but I know the rock is all around more practical.
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 rock would make a better weapon than that stick.
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 wildargument…
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.
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.
The rock of course. Why would you want a stick that has the thin proportions of a sword? A thin, lightweight sword only works because of the sharp blade. A “perfect” stick would be more of a straight pole, or have a heavier end for bludgeoning.
Oh no. I distract my wife and take them both?
Is there any other option? There’s no way to just leave one of those behind. It is just unthinkable.
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
Rock. Look at it.
Neither, enjoy them there but when you leave they are for the forest to keep
Agreed. But look at that stick. Perfectly balanced with cross guard.
That stick won’t last very long in the forest.
The rock, put it back and no one will find it for centuries. Maybe it’s fair to take it so others can see it and appreciate its beauty.
preach
but to answer the memes question, the stick. I’d get only a few seconds of enjoyment from skipping the rock (and I suck at rock skipping, so it probably wouldn’t be very good anyway), but that stick won’t need to leave me until I leave it.
Exactly. Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints.
