I was expecting the rock to be Cesium-137 or something
Bustedknuckles@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I was thinking unexploded ordnance

Hits it with some metal
It detonates, liquifying 15 scouts
Best day of my life

I’m impressed the guide demonstrated the flint’s sparking abilities and let the kid keep the rock. I know way too many adults who’d be like, “Oh no, danger!” and make a kid leave such a rock alone.

People were a lot less weird about stuff like this in the past, even in the 90s and early 00s. My dad gave me a pocket knife when I was like 8.

Honestly the risks of giving children things varies by individual. 9 year old me with a knife? Perfectly safe and what wasn’t safe was a learning experience. 12 year old me with matches? Literal dumpster fire because I have pyromaniac tendencies.

I’m not sure what shape a hearth is.

It’s the massive stone slab that lies in front of a fireplace, stops stray sparks for burning holes in your carpet or floorboards and burning the house down.
They’re usually half-tonne rectangles of granite. Fair play to the lad for digging one out and carrying it home, it’s normally a job for a forklift.

Tbf he did say it was hearth shaped not hearth sized, which I guess just means rectangular? Idk
eletes@sh.itjust.works 2 months ago
I thought it was a typo for heart based on the picture

Nonsense. It was an important story, and OOP would have checked for spelling.

I have two optimism-filled counterpoints to this.
-
Happy childhood memories are often much nicer than actually existing as a child. Much more concentrated. You already have the good stuff.
-
The only person stopping you from walking through the woods and finding cool rocks is you!
(insert caveats here about how adult life sucks for so many people right now and they don’t have free time to wander in the woods. I know. It sucks. I can only encourage you to consider it a metaphor and find something realistic and rewarding that fits your life)

So Anon is 16 years old? They’ll be just fine.

The sparks are actually coming from the steel and not the stone. Flint is just a very hard and sharp stone that can make tiny bits of steel fly off, heated from the sheer friction.
A different stone that is hard and sharp enough would have the same effect, like pyrite also known as fool’s gold. A different metal with, i believe, not enough carbon in it would not work. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

When I was young I thought I’d need to really know the difference between gold and fool’s gold as an adult.

So many people seem to want to go back, though. Maybe we just need to coordinate

(the picture was taken in December ‘25, of my college I had graduated from twenty years prior. The absolute liminality, devoid of people, and night time environment, counter to how one would normally perceive a college, all adds to the unsettling effect. I added the text after the fact, and formatted it to fit. It wasn’t just hanging in space, but it should have been.)

Who all wants to get together to live at the local boarded up mall!
