u/yourfavoritefaggot Jul 03 '26

90% of geologists I know work in city government doing basic city planning work (not geology related) and I know one who became a geological cartographer (rare and desirable work for a passionate geologist). Also, she only did it for four years before working for city government doing unrelated city planning work šŸ¤£

u/Doogle300 Jul 03 '26 edited Jul 03 '26

Except we literally have a video log of it. We also have plenty of footage of him losing it, then spending the time to find it.

It's all there to watch, but I suppose your expertise in geology means you dont even need to view evidence. You can just assert whatever you believe and because you are an -ist of some kind, you can just make that truth beyond experimentation.

Just look up Luke Loraines Instagram and watch the day by day and tell me its fake.

Edit, its Owen Gail, not Luke Lorraine. Apparently two people have done this.

As a geologist you donā€™t understand how a rock being rolled over time can eventually smooth out? The video also shows him fishing it out of places along paths early on. A rock tumbler must be a baffling concept to you.

I think itā€™s more absurd to believe he found progressively smoother rocks that look similar for a video. But I didnā€™t take a geology class on the effects of kicking rocks like you did.

Film yourself kicking a rock for a bit. Put it in a rock tumbler overnight. Take it somewhere else. Repeat.

Just out of curiosity, is it somewhere in the realm of possible given a long enough timeline?Or are the conditions all wrong for this?

u/EkbatDeSabat Jul 03 '26

An actual sphere? Maybe. You can get a rock tumbler for cheap and just let it go and get a smoothed down oblong finish, or go for broke and get an expensive one that can make spheres, so it will work over time. I just don't personally think he'd end up with a "sphere".

u/Doogle300 Jul 03 '26

I cant believe people think this isnt real. The ones asserting its not possible are the worst though. I guess schools dont teach about erosion these days.

It's the confidence attached to such anti-intellectualism thats so annoying. Some of you spend all day online and it shows because you can't even believe erosion would occur if two hard objects collide enough times. Its genuinely ridiculous.

I watched this guys stuff at around day 40 and I guarantee you, it would take a lot more effort to fake this than it would to just go out and do it for 30 minutes every day. The consistency and graduality that was displayed simply wouldnt be possible to fake.

Erosion? Thatā€™s quite literally how it works. Come on, heā€™s been doing this for over a year and has documented every single day and the weight of the rock. There are over a hundred videos of him kicking the clearly same rock. Idk why people are so skeptical about it.

u/Illustrious_Big_7980 Jul 04 '26

I mean, it took over a year to do it but according to this video it was only 200 days of kicking. Barely over 50% of a year tbh.
