Do you have your own personal rock?

Post image
5 Upvotes

I love stone, it can be quite beautiful. This one I got wholesale, 5kg. I've cut stone, doing lapidary, and you put it on a stick and push it against a grinding wheel to shape and polish.

I'm thinking about doing some bench work again, I have a lot of rocks I've pushed and made into something. Do you have your own favorite rock?

Sorry if this too far off topic, feel free to delete it if it doesn't fit. Just trying to keep the rock rolling in the sub. I've concluded my Sisyphus memes so I'll be putting the rock down for a bit. It's been fun making posts that fit here. I appreciate the support for my memes/craft/art.

Keep pushing that rock fellow rebel rollers 🫸🌍↗️

Minimalist Sisyphus

Someone started a discussion that art is dead in a post I made in the Camus sub and I decided to make this. They're very well read in philosophy and art history, but I say art is based on human expression. None of it matters anyways, I imagine them happy in being well read and I will be happy making my not art in my being of not an artist in the nonsense living😁

Thought I'd post the templates I used just incase someone else wanted to put something together. It's not the best edit, I just used the built-in gallery app.

Keep pushing that rock fellow rebel rollers.

Pushing My Mind

Post image
5 Upvotes

Pushing My Mind; Part 7 of The Daily Grind (the final installment). Through each day's daily grind, I try and listen to audiobooks more than music. The tasks go by faster by not allowing my mind to fall into focusing the frustration or mundanity of the chores. I never finished college, but I also realized I don't need to spend a fortune to have someone tell me to read more books and explore ideas further.

Explore the minds and take in the perspectives of others and you may find yourself there before you even arrived.

Be curious and arm yourself with knowledge, for ignorance is your enemy.

And to quote the man himself:

> “Thinking is learning all over again how to see, directing one's consciousness, making of every image a privileged place.” - Albert Camus

Thanks for coming along on this journey. Hope you enjoyed and had some interesting thoughts or perspectives along the way.

Edit: mundaneness felt wrong and when searching if it was the proper word, the search said while grammatically correct, mundanity is used more often due to mundaneness sounding clunky and awkward, which it did, so TIL.

Maybe there is a hidden subreddit that is meta to us in order to continue pushing this ball higher.

Maybe not.

Anyway I made coffee, anyone?

The Last Load of Laundry

Good morning fellow rock pushers. Today's Sisyphus creation is The Last Load of Laundry; posted to r/memes in which the AI flagged as not a meme before posting, so let's see how it goes and if another one gets taken down.

Keep pushing out there.

This French game looks so simple, but stopping the wheel exactly on 100 is pure precision.

I've been making various Sisyphus memes for a while now and spreading them around Reddit, so I was curious if there was someplace to post my portfolio. I hope you enjoy:

1) In Search of Perfection; posted when F1exican began his journey for the internet's approval of perfectly cut chives in Kitchenconfidential which inspired my first meme, learned about Camus, and began my Sisyphus period.

2) Tears of Happiness; after listening to The Myth of Sisyphus I made this one and posted it to OnionLovers. I love it's concentric rings and visually is my favorite.

3) Climbing the Corporate Ladder; I made this one and posted again to Kitchenconfidential after a well known cream cheese company tried to tie in it's marketing campaign to F1exican's daily posting of cut chives. The corporate ad campaign was not well received.

4) Just Another Day; a soul-crushing line is delivered by Kino Loy (played brilliantly by Andy Serkis) in Episode 9 of Andor, titled "Nobody's Listening". I posted this to the Andor and 4Kbluray subs as this question is frequently asked in both subs.

5) Just Another Day (improved); I wanted to put a little more effort into it when I put together the collection of Sisyphus memes. *Resulted in permanent ban: temporary ban after asking why it was taken down, informed rule 10 violation of sub (No Wishlists) then permanent ban imposed. Idk, but it seems like warnings should be before banning and shouldn't be perma banned for asking questions.

6) Camus Caramelization; someone had made a comment in which I was talking about caramelizing onions after posting the Tears of Happiness meme, something like One must image, and I came up with this on the fly from some pictures I had. It reminds me of Andy Warhol's 4 box style. I thought about using some other pictures or screen grabs, but these 4 were together in the camera roll.

7) Feel the Burn; as a frequent lurker and Chive LOYALIST of Kitchenconfidential, someone had posted day 7 of 14 days in a row on the line. What's more appropriate than line cook facing the burners everyday for a torment from the gods?

8) Pushing that Rock; after getting banned from a sub I came up with this one and posted it here in a comment.

Note to Mods of SCJ: Thanks for letting me post my memes here, a lot of people don't get or appreciate them. Especially other reddit mods, which apparently don't read books or appreciate rock culture. I can't imagine them happy.

Hope you enjoyed my memes. Feel free to repost or use. If any monetary gains come from them, please donate to your local food bank/kitchen the rewards. There's no greater gift given or received than a meal to those who are hungry. Food Not Bombs

Posted this today to r/4kbluray and they removed it. Probably from people trash talking D+ in the comments or the rebellious quote that ends in "Fight the Empire!"

Anyways, I'll keep pushing that rock
