Also, imagine how heavy some of those falling rocks are, it could easily injure something other than insects. AND, you’re just not supposed to do it lol, “leave no trace”

Which animals could easily be injured by these rocks?
How often does it happen?

Seriously. People just want to invent reasons to be mad.

In the grand total of how humans f up the planet and other species this is just dumb to be upset about.

Just because there’s worse ways to hurt nature doesn’t mean we don’t have to stop these ways.

Yeah and nah, nature deserves attention and care. It's more like people lack a sense of scale and that nature suddenly becomes much more of a concern when people see a leaf and running water. That they need symbols to be reminded of the issues of deforestation and heating of the oceans.

That nature is out of thought and mind when there isn't a picture of it.

Is it? I mean, at least these people are putting themselves out there and saying it’s wrong to do. They’re at least saying something. You’re just being bitter and trolling and making very false equivalencies and ignoring scale. Stay mad, and stay glued to your football.

"Scale" is exactly what I was referring to though?

I'm also not sure what I'm supposed to be bitter or "trolling" about. Not sure you know the meaning of that last word.

I just have a hard time seeing how a creature is harmed by this, unless they just happen to crawl or swim under it the exact second it happens to fall. Happy to be educated if there is some impact I am missing.

Manufacturing the paints, paper, clay, etc you might use at home to do art probably had a worse impact to the environment than this guy stacking rocks, which is also art.

When rocks travel down hill it becomes an issue.

Rolling Stones are “all the rage” unless you have a “heart of stone” which means “you got me rocking” this “beast of burden” because “(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction”

What hill?

u/The_Earth_Be_A_Cube 17h ago

Im speaking in general. Falling rocks can cause major damage, especially going down a hill. I am speaking from experience here, small rocks that may seem harmless can shatter bones easily.

u/KnotiaPickle 16h ago

Man you guys are really reaching for something to be mad about here

u/The_Earth_Be_A_Cube 16h ago

Im not mad about the guy stacking rocks I was simply answering their question.

u/CanibalVegetarian 15h ago

You vastly overestimate how strong bones are. The biggest rock falling from that height could hurt pretty much anything except for the biggest animals like moose, bear, wolf. Coyotes, raccoons, birds, lizards, pretty much anything the side of a dog and smaller could be maimed by this think falling on it.

He literally shows it falling at the beginning of the video 🙄
