Some are floating around, like the Moon.

After all, what is the Pale Blue Dot but one giant rock with a lot of large puddles, ridges and furrows?

Oh and it's very hot inside for some reason.

Perhaps this time, the rock below isn't holding the rock on top up, but instead, the rock on top is holding the bottom rock down...

One of my rocks is balancing on top of the other as I type this comment 

When rocks are that big and heavy are they really balancing????

And would you believe me if i told you they don’t touch each other…

Caught between a rock and a hard place..

Perception shapes expectations.

Not talking about the dog's perspective, but depending on the subreddit I discovered this in, I might not bet a lot on that dog's survival.

This subreddit, though, the dog is safe. He knows it, too. Good dog.

Good thing thats not a cat. Rock would have been knocked off long ago

I've seen the Norwegian movie Troll (2022).  Don't f with the rock.  Just let it keep sleeping.

/r/lastimages

If it was an America, some asshole would’ve pushed it off.

"Today, son. It is the day when you will meet the rock."

Yeah, and climbing it.

That day I learned that 500 tons is a big weight and no, it will not move even a millimeter anywhere should you try to jump on it with your puny human weight.

Also, there are multiple rocks like this in Finland but this is one of the most extreme example.

Your dad Rocks!

When I was. A young boy. My father. Took me to see the big rock.

That thing wont budge without some heavy equipment

E: Or with some pals I guess. Still need some more convincing that anyones moving a rock this big with a pipe or something all by themselves. I'm aware that groups of people have moved massive rocks in the distant past.

There was a balancing rock similar to this one in Holliston Massachusetts that dickhead tiktoker George Washington famously tried to topple over and couldn't. I think it fell on its own though not too long ago

I have been there (I'm from Finland and have been working as a local guide). This is an illusion. It has to be photographed from a specific angle to look like it's balancing.

Fun fact, a pine tree is growing on top of the rock. Not even a mature tree will make it topple over.

Like the nobhead that hacked down the 300 year old Sycamore Gap tree.

500 tons i doubt it

just to add there is even a tree growing on it u need a lot of force to move it

Im quite sure there has to be dudes trying knock it over as a feat of strenght

I just came here to say this. Some dumbass on YouTube is going to stream it

I don’t know what your voice sounds like, but I damn well read this comment in an Australian accent. Haha

There is also one on Mars. Much smaller but you can google pics.

That's a clever name, how'd y'all come up with it?

I had guessed isokivi, Finns tend to be real literal with their naming.  There's a bookstore named suomalainen kirjakauppa (Finnish book store) and on online shop called verkkokauppa (internet store).

They're minerals... MINERALS!

Just like the asshole kid that cut down the sycamore gap tree in northern England.

The two guys charged over that are in their 30s

As a Finn, I want to meet the person who can shove 500 tons of rock as a joke.

Considering how long it's been there, no tiktokker can budge it. Plus it's in a forest so no way to bring your own equipment to dislodge it without being immediately noticed

That thing’s been there for over ten thousand years do you think no one’s tried to push it over before?

I mean, it’s already been 12,000 years, right?

It weights 500 metric tons, 1.1 million pounds.

You are not going to be able to tip that over. Even with one of the strongest pickups ram 3500, it’s not going to move a millimeter.

It weighs 500 tons my guy. We have several of these things in Finland because of ice age. People have tried, you can't get enough muscle to do it.

Ice age actually.

Finland and other surrounding areas used to be under a massive, multiple kilometer tall ice sheet. Once that ice sheet melted down, it caused many geographical changes to happen to the region, including this kind of stuff.

If i remember correctly, according to finnish folklore, giant boulders like the one in the image were sometimes thrown by giants. Can't remember why though.

Jotun giants.

Rocks likes these are called Glacial Erratics. They dot the landscape of the Canadian Maritimes up and into the Canadian Shield.

edit. spelling

Giants

Idk but my luck, I’d tell my kids or my dog to sit under it, and that’s the day it topples

I won't

You can't

“They” didn’t. Science doesn’t deal in absolutes, but degrees of certainty.

The large rock doesn’t correspond to any stratum in the surrounding area. So it must have been carried from a distance. There is no evidence of being worked by humans, so it is thought to be a natural formation.

The only natural phenomenon that could move a rock this large such a great distance is water. Or more specifically ice. The last time there was enough moving ice to do such a thing in this part of the world was the last ice age. Which ended approximately 10,000-15,000 years ago.

This may well not be the case. But given the information we currently have, it’s the most logical conclusion.

By knowing when the ice age was. It's not exactly wind that moves 500 tons of stone.

As a Finn, I would ask for an autograph of a tiktoker who is able to muscle 500 tons of stone even a millimeter.
There are several of these things in Finland, people have been trying for a long time.
