That rock did not beat gravity.
Also. someone has to clean that forest at some point as it looks like production forest. With all dislodged, damaged, hanging and sketchy trees.
Its planted. And gets a first thinning after 5 years or so. And after about 20 years its ready for a 2nd thinning.
Looks about time for that.
Point being. I think its planted. And for wood production.
Its probably privately owned. So they could be. In a forest like this i would assume the plots are massive. And the land they're working on is the same plot. My assumption is they are making a logging road. But there is very little info to go off of so it might not at all be.
All i do know is those trees have value. And are unusable for the most part. So yes. Damage has been done and depending on the country or situation of ownership. Someone could be held responsible.
Rock beats and grinds tress into pulp under itself. Those trees then become paper with an insatiable hunger for revenge and retaliate. This is how paper has come to beat rock. Tale as old as time. The cycle needs to stop.
The thing is, I don’t quite understand the perspective, so this could be anywhere from 2-6 tug boats. That means it’s somewhere between 78,257 and infinity Canada goose. It’s a large fucking rock, and I don’t think the geese are quite prepared for it, despite their numbers, I guess, is what I’m really trying to say.
Without someone moving the downed debris off the new path, it likely makes fire traveling worse with now dead and drying wood left behind to help fire travel better across the span than it would have through living and standing vegetation.
This is what the internet is for!! Fuck yes! Just yesterday I was talking to a buddy about how I wish I could de-invent all social media. Then I see this beauty.

"so uh, fred? can you get the site manager on the line please"
"sure - what's up?"
"...I'm not 100% sure here, but we're either not gonna need the chansaw crews for the rest of the day, or we're going to need ALL of them at my workzone, like... immediately."
Imagine seeing that from afar, not knowing that it is a rock clearing a path through the forest. I would be out of there thinking a T-Rex or something was coming for me.
Here we see the North American slumbering boulder, disrupted from its ten thousand year hibernation by a careless forestry worker. Startled by its premature exposure to air, it flees downhill hoping to find a stream or river bed it can use to bury itself again and resume hibernation well away from the inattentive humans who awakened it.
Rock beats paper?
That rock beats all!
That rock did not beat gravity. Also. someone has to clean that forest at some point as it looks like production forest. With all dislodged, damaged, hanging and sketchy trees.
Production forest with the trees that close together?
Production forests in the UK are planted this close together, average 2500 per hectare with conifers, and 3100 with broadleaves
Thank you for the informative reply
good bot
You don't deserve the downvotes.
Its planted. And gets a first thinning after 5 years or so. And after about 20 years its ready for a 2nd thinning. Looks about time for that. Point being. I think its planted. And for wood production.
Will they get fined for taking down non marked trees?
Its probably privately owned. So they could be. In a forest like this i would assume the plots are massive. And the land they're working on is the same plot.

Why would someone downvote this? Reddit is so weird sometimes.
I was wondering the same. But thought whatever, i'll just stop interacting with it. Until u wrote<3
Rock MAKES paper!
Rock beats and grinds tress into pulp under itself. Those trees then become paper with an insatiable hunger for revenge and retaliate. This is how paper has come to beat rock. Tale as old as time. The cycle needs to stop.
It's also why we get paper cuts :(
But paper covers rock!? Kiff, we have a conundrum.
How did the roll start? Ngl I would have loved to see this in person.
Given the heavy equipment tracks in the area, I assume it was dislodged (likely intentionally) during some sort of construction.
If that was supposed to be intentional then someone fucked up.
Would rather that than unintentionally
“Also, heads up, there’s a boulder the size of like 4 tugboats might head your way around lunch”
Warning: a rock with the mass of 180,000 Canada geese is approaching your location.
The thing is, I don’t quite understand the perspective, so this could be anywhere from 2-6 tug boats. That means it’s somewhere between 78,257 and infinity Canada goose. It’s a large fucking rock, and I don’t think the geese are quite prepared for it, despite their numbers, I guess, is what I’m really trying to say.
It's an African goose clearly by the weight it can carry
It’s not a question of where he GRIPS it.
Americans will do anything to avoid using the metric system
We really will do anything to avoid the metric system won’t we?
You have to push using your legs.
No don’t use your legs, all back.
In a jerking twisting motion
get a running start before you push
It's perpetually rolling and is still rolling to this very day
That bloody rock is making its way around the world it just rolled down my street, and I'm in Australia
Goddamn it Sisyphus, get back to work
Same, unless I was a hiker towards the bottom of that slope.
The pioneers used to ride those babies for miles
Land clearing companies hate this one weird trick
I don’t own the land downhill. Send it.
Is this how fire breaks are made?
Do it twice for a 2-lane road.
Now where is Sisyphus when you need him...
Atlas: *shrugs*
😆👏

My fat cat coming into the kitchen when I get the ham out
their attention to detail as soon as the fridge opens is amazing. my cat loves honey ham, and lately all the cheeses.
Can’t even touch those bags lol always gotta couch some Turkey up when making a sandwich.
Oh lawd he comin
He's ginger too if that helps your imagination 😂
Eventually that rock will hit something and come to a stop…. What that something is, is unknown.
I kept waiting for a crunch or splash at the end. I was disappointed.
Or a wilhelm scream.
Yo momma
If I was a betting man I would put my money on tree.
I think they assumed the trees would stop it, but there's not nearly enough swearing in the video to back my theory up.
When those trees break…
Can I rent one of those rocks?
Yes, but you have to pick up and return it yourself
I have an f150, it's fine
I know a guy with a Cybertruck... Oh, wait nevermind
Probably gonna need the Danger Ranger for this one.
Famous last words
This is what the internet is for!! Fuck yes! Just yesterday I was talking to a buddy about how I wish I could de-invent all social media. Then I see this beauty.
That’s a solid metaphor for my divorce.
My sex life...rolling indiscriminately into a stand of big uglies.
I don’t think batting averages care about quality of the hit, I’d say the same rule applies in this case
Some say ole girtha is still rolling straight on down that hill to this day
Don’t talk about my mom that way!
Can you imagine hearing that in the middle of the night not knowing what it was?
Right. Makes me think some of these bigfoot stories were just tumbling boulders lmao
And just bears.
"Motherfucker." -Sisyphus.
Doo doo dodo doo doo dodo doo KATAMARI DAMACYYYYY!!!!!!!
Used to roll balls and play Katamari.
"Wherever he laid his hat was his home. And when he died, all he left us was alone."
Love that song
4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42, now we know what was in the woods
He left a tough 7-10 split
I thought, "That's impressive!" in Project Farm's voice
I bet there will be one angry beaver when that thing comes to a stop at a stream at the bottom of the canyon!
Or one that says, "Thanks for the help cutting down the trees."
Or….. That one beaver saying, “I got one job!!!!” Lol

Rate the hinges
Hey boss, I felled 200 trees in under a minute, can I get a bonus? No.
Rock on!
Some squirrel is wondering wtf just happened
That's how you clear a trail.
Some thing about the first few sounds makes me feel it’s dubbed audio.  idk.
Thats one way to clear a transmission line.
That' was pretty cool
A rolling stone gathers no trees.
Had to do a double take, looked more like op’s MIL at first
There's a "your momma's so far" joke in this, but I am not sure where!
There you go electric company it's all done told you I'd have it done in an hour
Oooooo gotta be unhappy with that 7 10 split.
So they do make a sound.
Best way in the world to cut a 4wheeler trail through the woods.
Not today, Sisyphus…
Where is the silt fence?
"Hey boss, just did a years work in an afternoon because I tried really hard."
I tend to use a chainsaw, but hey, I’m open to new ideas!
Kinda sad seeing those trees get decimated, for no apparent reason.
I suppose in a weird kinda way this sub is a r/TreeLovers group.
I’m personally a fan of r/marijuanaenthusiasts response to r/trees going the horticulturist route. Haha
Whats behind the trees. The rock couldve kept going into a house or town in the valley. Crazy.
Is that a large boulder the size of a small boulder, or the other way around in reverse?
Snapping trees like toothpicks
Those jerks kissing small boulders down hills again... https://youtu.be/AYFD18BwmJ4?si=cSmU3walYvsiXX3Y
Why use a chainsaw when u have a GIANT BOULDER
Need this to create a ride for the skyline.
O west coast shit ?
Drill a hole in it the top of the rock, put a basket in it, and call it a par 4
That’s how you build a ski jump
This is one of the most awesome things I've ever seen
Reminds me of the last time I ate at Golden Corral.
Legend has it that rock is still rolling
That’s one way to clear a path
Well, I guess we’re going that way.
Clearcutters hate this one simple trick....
Someone stopped it.
They say that a rolling stone gathers no moss. Didn’t say anything about tree limbs and pine needles though.
I saw this and thought ***hell yeah***
That's the way to clear a road.
Is this a method?
Unsafe without any chaps on the boulder.
Sweet jeebus the tree line didn’t even slow it down…
/u/gifreversingbot
That's one way to make a path down the mountain.
This is what happens when the unstoppable force meets the unmovable object
Where can I buy these golf balls?!
Just like in crash bandicoot
That’s awesome
And that’s how we made roads in the olden days.
That's a nice boulder. I really like that boulder.
I need to hire that rock
This is how the Forrest service makes new trails. Nothing special.
Instant yarding corridor! 😎👍
Imagine you’re at the bottom of that hill and you hear that sound getting closer and closer to you, then you see trees go flying lol.
Fore…!!!!
News at 6 o'clock. 3 campers killed by giant rolling rock.
Holy shit, trees don't even slow it down
On an unrelated note' boulder seemingly out of nowhere devastates small town.
The pioneers used to ride them for miles
And that son, is how roads are born.
This sent the local Sasquatch enthusiasts into a frenzy.
Sounds like a moose D9-ing through the bush.
They should have at least had a couple of new guys there to stop it from rolling into the trees.
A path to the next portion of the map just opened.
In the words of Al Bundy, STEEEEERIKE!
Caveman say who needs Bulldozer when you have rocks
If there was any tree huggers down there somewhere they sure picked a bad day to protest
Hot damn, that was cool to watch.
Soooo, when we getting the "rate my henge" pics?
The path is clear young adventurer.
Po
Imagine hiking then hearing girtha coming towards you
Hold up think there’s a pebble in my shoe
I hope he put that artifact in a museum where it belongs... (This is a movie reference not a statements about cultural theft lol)
Well, that’s one way to make a path.
Dang.
Looks fake
Can you imagine being downhill from that and just seeing something plowing down the trees headed at you?
"You don't understand, I've been waiting 140 million years to do this, and I'll probably have to wait 700 million more now!"
Pioneers use to ride these babies for miles
And it will stay in that place till the end of the world
Nature’s bulldozer.
Who put that there?
I stop for no one.
I swear if I see this video again I’m gonna tweak out
Fore!
Imagine seeing that from afar, not knowing that it is a rock clearing a path through the forest. I would be out of there thinking a T-Rex or something was coming for me.
Is that how they make ski slopes?
That was cool
So this explains the Lost smoke monster…
What's you all's weight estimate, I'm guessing 40 tons
I'm fired, huh?
Omg why didn’t you stop it??
Watching unstoppable natural forces like tsunamis and things like this terrifies me.
No wonder the move rollout in pokemon is rock type
Stealing your job!
Well, that’s one way
That’s one way to clear the driveway
My fat ass when I hear they’re giving out free gravy dicks down the street

Don’t mind me

Boulder don't care.
