# Rock
Rocks and stones are natural formations of minerals that can be used to create the most primitive [technology](technology.md). Stone age was the first stage of our civilization; it was characterized by use of stone tools. Rock [nerds](nerd.md) are called geologists.

Rocks are pretty [suckless](suckless.md) and [LRS](lrs.md) because they are simple, they are everywhere, free and can be used in a number of ways such as:
- As a building material.
- For [fun](fun.md) and entertainment, you can play various games with rocks: rock skipping, petanque, long throw, even [chess](chess.md).
- As [weapons](weapon.md), even though we discourage this use.

- As a [weapon](weapon.md), even though we discourage this use.
- For making tools such as [knives](knife.md) or [hammers](hammer.md).
- To hold heat: you can e.g. heat stones in fire and let them heat you while you sleep or use them to cook something.

- For writing, some can be used as a chalk, some may be used to carve into, which makes rocks an extremely durable storage for both [digital](digital.md) and [analog](analog.md) [data](data.md) -- thanks to this we have records of very old [history](history.md), see also [RCBD](rock_carved_binary_data.md). A dust from some rocks can also be used to make dye to paint or write with.
- As weights.
- As weights. Rocks are pretty heavy.
- For help with counting (e.g. [abacus](abacus.md)) -- this makes rocks a kind of [computer](computer.md)!
- To make [art](art.md), decorations, small statues etc.
- For breaking things, grinding, sharpening etc.
- With advanced technology we can get metals out of rocks, extract geological knowledge from them etc.
- To make [art](art.md), decorations, small statues etc. Some rocks are beautiful just by themselves and autistic people like to collect them.
- For breaking things, cutting, grinding, sharpening etc.
- With a little advanced technology we can get metals (and potentially other material) out of rocks, extract geological knowledge from them, read records of prehistoric organisms (fossils) etc.
- Some rocks can be used to start [fire](fire.md).
- Some are pretty rare and can be used as a [currency](currency.md), even though we hate [money](money.md) and discourage this as well.
- You can collect them as a cool non-capitalist hobby.
