Rock is good. You can cook with rock, support and balance things, keep it as a pet, paint faces on it, wedge things that need wedging, use it as a paperweight, possibly shatter it into many knifey bits or sell it to your kid cousin as a magic rock. I think you can also do a few things with ropes and rocks, but I can't remember any of those things. Yes, you can throw rock, but rock likes most to bounce on water when thrown.
Arrr, rock good, rock cook, rock support. Rock have face. Rock wedge. Rock paperweight magic rock, sell. Rock shatter. Rock is pet. Use rope on rock. Throw rock fun. Rock bounce water.
Heating pad. Counterweight on bear bag. Massage tool. Circle template. Door stop. Wheel chuck. Pothole filler. Sculpture source. GI Joe mountain. The list goes on.
You can admire the rock. You can just hold the rock, meditate over its roundness. The rock can become your friend, your little secret, a comfort you can take anywhere. The rock is eternal. If you cradle it for a lifetime, you might contribute a miniscule amount to its perfect shape. Your life can have meaning.
I take the Rock! It's much more durable than the stick and I bet it is really pleasant to hold. Also I can easily place it on my desk after I come home.
And I like to imagine how long it took for this rock to get his shape.
Honestly, it's so perfect I'd probably choke and get 2 skips out of it. Anytime I stop and select a good stone I overthink it and throw terribly, anytime I just grab one and toss it I get 4 or 5 skips (6 if no one's around to see it).
Seriously! I hardly ever carry a handbag because it's more likely than not that I'll eventually lose it. Losing my pants is a lot less common, and there's so much room for stuff! Wallet, keys, phone, knife, dog treats, cool rocks, maybe a snake. The possibilities are endless!
The rock, (a) because it'll last longer and (b) because it's got a cool wrestler named after it. There ain't no wrestler called The Stick. I doubt I could smell what The Stick is cooking.
I'm not greedy but I want a dataset of how it correlates with gender and sexuality of responders. The working hypothesis is very promising. I want it raw 𓁹‿𓁹
Rocks are for throwing. Even if it is perfect, it’s temporary.
A bunch of geologists, and many others who just like to collect (and otherwise use, like in art) pretty and/or interesting rocks and shells would like a word lol

Stick every time. Stick is a sword, a walking tool, a measure, a prybar. Rock is rock. You can throw it. You can hit stuff with it. That’s about it.
