It's a Mandoshowan ship
IMainReinhardt
Kind of reminds me of that one balanced Rock that stood for millennia until a scout leader and his kids pushed it over
kantackistan
These things are neat! Also if you look away and look back they will be in a different spot.
ijack
I like that boulder.
FredGarvinMP
Some asshole American tourist would fuck it up.
vissago

Just a lil shove…..

I imagine it feels like this on windy days...
MyBigMouth
Somewhere a Coyote has just had another wily idea.
jamesx
some idiot is going to push it down, just watch.
sonomarco
Just how isolated is it, to not have been knocked over?
Publiusdg
Now say that again but without the "umm" please
worldtraversingsquirrel
'umm' means mother in arabic ;)
farorevalor
There's a Korok hiding under a rock at the top

Ok yes, but what's the song?

reverse rhicter-scale rocks - tell you there hasn't been an earthquake there in quite a while.
TeamToasterNeverForget
At first I thought "98425 feet? thats like 30km.."..

Uh, whateverer you do, don't lean against it. Or better, don't touch it at all.
jetblue7
moving sandworms carve such formations
WoodHandle
Arrival.
RoboCopsCat
Don’t let any Boy Scout leaders around it.
Hurch
I hope nobody knows it's whereabouts, because some peckerwood will come along and knock it over.
YourIceCreamMan
30 meters is about 90 feet

HeRulesWithARubberFist
I was about to say the mondachewan are gonna pop out of that thing any second
isetprettygirlsonfire
Wow what a precious rock! As a geologic engineer I'd be tempted to measure the base and rock quality, yet scared it'd fall on me.

*precarious
TuityFrooty
Nope, no take backs.

DukeDarkwood
Real talk: what are the odds/timeframe erosion or something will do it in?
isetprettygirlsonfire
Odd are 99.9999999999% it will fall down. I really dont have enough info to really make a valid timeframe estimate. But I'd say not long
DukeDarkwood
Yeah, that's basically what I meant - erosion at the base making the rest fall.
isetprettygirlsonfire
There could even also be other factors such as the wind or a camel with an itchy butt.
J3lek
How is it that no asshole came by with a jackhammer to knock it down yet?
josebornedumont1
If it was in Nevada, some local meth head or tourist would try
HappyTheReaper
Time..
whatdidyoureallyexpect
Because Americans didn’t know it existed. Now, however….
RabidDingo
Some scout dad concerned it may crush someone.
CuddlyPervert
Yeah... looks fake to me. Forget jackhammer, rough wind would do it
dmjalund
Because it isn't a Buddhist temple
wibbIywobbIytimeywimey
I could still see some teenage bozos being like “run at it and knock it down bro!”
GBMaker
I think they would one of their hands cut off if they did. This is in Saudi Arabia.
StonesOnTheHill
Every nation has it's laws. But what would be the point of cutting the hands of a man crushed into a soup-like homogenate by a giant rock?
TheHorseShesElbowDeepIn
“Well that’s just a waste of a good prison slave.” - US judge with financial ties to private prisons.
AntRam95
Because it not a religious symbol of a religion other than the one in power
GadenKerensky
It doesn't have to be, someone just has to go, 'I wanna knock that down' because they got the itch.
f0622
I imagine a dumb rich kid from Arabian family driving his SUV straight on the base of the rock, more "Arabic style".
Chouilste
Shouldn’t it be a small plane ?
Millstone85
Rip42
These guys were boy scouts. Not joking.
1metalnation
As an eagle scout. Fuck those idiots. The point of scouting is to embrace nature and learn leadership skills. Not fuck things up
fastjeff
Dude hates gravity because.... hundreds of reasons.
The3rdwheel
cause it isnt in the US
Acronymicon
So just a hammer then?
ImgurPlz
Saudis love doing shit like that too. They’re the Texas of the Middle East.
FilYouWithMe
If it were the US, it’d either be an elderly person or a bunch of drunk teenagers driving head first into it.
YesYouJustLostTheGameAgain
First damn thing I thought of!
doonie926
Everywhere has assholes. I think the difference is, in the US, you get in trouble, in Saudi, they will prolly cut your hands off for that
SmilinSloth
Cutting your hands off is for stealing, most likely stoned in the courtyard or just killed for destroying it
SmilinSloth
Cutting off your hands it was specificly one hand to begin with and it was always the same one. This was so everybody knew you were a thief
Dudeitsonlyme
So they don’t ever have wind storms over there? This is fake.
sleepy12
No it's not
dudfey
This was probably formed by millions of years of wind/sandstorms right?
J3lek
There are assholes everywhere
wisher1977
True but more so here, in the US.
Khornight
There are arseholes everywhere, but most countries do things to limit arseholery. America just does a bad job at limiting them.
AsAnItalianItsDifficultTalkingOnTheWebCauseIcantUseMyHands
Yes but in US assholes are celebrated and encouraged
zealabyrinth
Sure, but like in “The Boys” you have American Assholes like Homelander and Stormfront, and ones like Maeve. Our brand of awful is the worst
confirmsthings
Assholes are universal
compused
Biologically, nearly all of our lineage of animals start out as an asshole first.
confirmsthings
I thought it was the humble nipple first.
MrOne2
Right. Only in Saudi Arabia you get your hand chopped if you doa hit like this..
brownribbon
I was thinking more along the lines of “head”
IupvoterussianGTAscreenshots
Which final fantasy is this?
YoSamiteSam
Reminds me of how in "Morrowind" the Diedrich prince of chaos, Sheogorath, threw an asteroid at the planet nirn, and V'Vek froze it in time
harthram
The one with chocobos.
titaniumsnail
LenneSamunai
Well, not all FF had chocobos ?
titaniumsnail
https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Chocobo they've been in every main series game and beyond, although some were added in remasters.
DukeDarkwood
Looks like 12. That's one of them save crystals. The orange ones with the airship access.
titaniumsnail
Aaaah! It was a crystal mimic instead!
Noraver
I feel like 12 was underrated because of the battle system. I liked it, personally.
Illithidbane
I liked the battle system, but the plot suffered. Poor pacing, poor lead, and too little actually happens.
Mcshmile
I choose to believe the lead was actually bathier, but since he had a plot important story they made him a background character not to spoil
DukeDarkwood
Ashe is the lead. Balthier likes to think he is, but Ashe was basically driving 90% of that story. (And before anyone mentions the intent
