Glad Linus Van Pelt wasn’t there. “Nice going, Charlie Brown. It took several million years for that rock to get to the shore, and now you’ve just thrown it back.”
I like the flat ones. If you throw them just right, they’ll skip across the body of water (for some distance). Or you can turn that throw 90º up and when it comes back down into the water, it makes a dandy SCHLOOMP sound. And if you have a nice ice sheet, then the skipping technique is even more amazing!
I think of rocks whenever I think of quantum mechanics: everything in motion with particles blipping in and out of existence, yet the rock is still there after 4+ billion years.

I wonder if rocks ever get motion-sick

Whereas in fact rocks are constantly weathering, breaking down through contact with the Earth’s atmosphere, water, and biological organisms.

Rocks typically prefer to be left alone. Start messing with them, and they’re bound to get honked off, eventually. Then someone gets hurt.

That rock was probably washed ashore during the tide and migrated from a distant shore..Canada

I had a very large collection of different types of rocks growing up. My dad loved looking at them and so did my friends.

Pretty barren landscape. He could have mentioned the ice age and glaciers moving rocks, grinding rocks, placing boulders.
