Kummakivi is a 500.000 kg rock in Finland that has been balancing on another rock for 11.000 years

ColeSloth, Ima have to see an 11,000 year old picture and an 11,001 year old picture as proof of this.
4am, There is another of these in Lanesborough, Massachusetts, USA.
peopleproblems, Neat. The trick rock has a pet tree
Zier, 
This is the rock that keeps the Earth right side up. If you knock it off we flip upside down and Australia gets to rule the planet.
key, Is there a country that uses a different thousands separator based on unit?
Fredselfish, 
I don’t care how long it been balancing there I wouldn’t dare stand that close to it, be just my luck it pick that moment to shrift.
boredtortoise, Finland uses space for thousands (and comma for decimals), so an article in Finnish would have 500 000 kg
4am, Yes, in a lot of places a period is used for order-of-magnitude separation and comma is used for decimal places.
In this title the use seems inconsistent.
Crackhappy, 
It’s got something for everyone.
abysmalpoptart, Right, i think he’s asking if there’s some culture where the inconsistency is designed based on unit. So, for example, period for years, comma for weight.
I think it’s simply an error. Maybe AI generated?
fitjazz, Either the rock weighs exactly 500kg to an impressive precision and has been there for eleven thousand years or it weighs five hundred thousand kg and has been there for exactly 11 years.
hemko, The name “odd stone” is really deserved. There’s also a pine tree growing on top of the rock
psycho_driver, Or some aliens with antigrav guns were like “Hey you know what would be funny?!?”
pumpkinseedoil,
- Rock is in the floor
- Ice age ends, water floods dirt around the rock away
- Rock either rolls down or stays
We have lots of these in Austria and at least here this is how they became like that.
RandomLegend, 
My cat would go there and push it over…
Dasus, There’s not a feline or a man alive who could move that without tools.
FlyingSquid, 
If cats could read and open doors, they would collectively go to Finland to push it over with a huge mass of pure cat power.
Dasus, With some levers, definitely doable. With just paws? Eh.
Also, cats can definitely open doors. Not all cats, but I know a few.
FlyingSquid, I’m talking doors to the outside so they can escape to Finland to knock the rock over.
Dasus, I get that’s what you meant, but technically the way it was worded…
And the cats I know are cats who frequently roam outdoors and are Finnish. Perhaps they’ve just not seen this post, as outside cats rarely doomscroll.
FlyingSquid, Indeed they don’t doomscroll much. See my first point, re the fact that cats can’t read.
Dasus, Being literate isn’t a requirement for scrolling though, although I do hesitate on how much “doom” applies to things like this.
But that’s clearly an indoors house-cat, so my hypothesis that outside cats doomscroll less is still valid.
RandomLegend, You understimate the sheer amount of “i-want-to-push-over-things-energy” of a cat.
cloudless, Better keep it low profile, or some tourists will try some bad ideas.
Mac, RIP Sycamore Gap tree.
RedditWanderer, I feel like if this was my town idiots would have done it long ago by all means necessary
ThePantser, 
A stick of dynamite might offset it enough to roll.
Zehzin, 
I was thinking trucks
Thorny_Insight, Not gonna budge with a truck but a large bottle jack or two might do the trick
Cyclist, American Boy Scout leaders.
rhythmisaprancer, 
Or this more recently 🙁
misterdoctor, Ruining historic natural monuments is somehow not first on the list of American Boy Scout leader atrocities 🫤

For anyone else out of the loop.
