    On the other side was a mix of users going either "yeah, but I just feel like it isn't an issue" and users going "fuck you I'm gonna stack rocks anyway" as if rock-stacking was their livelyhood and users trying to rules-lawyer the thing like "what if it isn't a running stream? What if I'm in a desert? What if it's volcanic rocks?" The reaction was wildly outsized, but apparently hexbear has a large rock-stacking userbase

    More like a userbase of nerds who never leave their houses since it's impossible to go camping and not be hit with signs like these. That whole stupid struggle session was a bunch of nerds who never went camping and seeing decades-old signs about how you're not supposed to disturb the environment like picking up stream rocks trying to argue that not disturbing the environment like picking up stream rocks is somehow ultraleftism.

        I remember reading that thread when it happened, and thinking how ridiculous that all was. Like, it was something I’d never really thought much about but I was just like oh ok, that makes sense, I’ll be sure to remember not to fuck around with rocks. The responses were baffling. Do you have the link so I could revisit it?
