Is this rock interesting?
Welcome to the rock judgment zone—where everyday gravel meets existential crisis. Our geologist (and occasional chaos gremlin) puts rocks on trial to decide if they’re scientifically fascinating…or just driveway filler. Expect snark, science, and the occasional “why did you even bring me this?” moment. Because sometimes geology rocks, sometimes it’s just a rock, and either way—it’s chaos.
