Just me and the homies meeting up to throw rocks at our rock tree.
Journal: being super judgemental for no reason.

Just scientific method at work, methinks.
I've done dumber shit with my bros and theoretically we have higher order thinking
Theoretically
Because fuck that specific tree. 🖕
Man FUCK that tree! My homie fell off that tree once, hit his head pretty bad, never been the same so... FUCK that tree!
Hoo hoo hoo hAAAA HAA HAA
Sounds suspiciously similar to archery, hatchet throwing, knife throwing, and all other target practice hobbies.
But why one specific tree?
Because fuck that tree in particular.
How else are they going to compare shots unless they aim at the same target?
You can throw stones several times to any other tree
That's what I was thinking. Their forebears settled upon a favorite tree(s), it caught on in popularity, got passed down, and all that. I mean, it's as good a hypothesis as anything else, far as I know.
They're training
'Why do teenagers kick the can down the same lane every year?'
Have you ever followed what Muslims do on the Hadj? They throw stones at three pillars representing Satan. Maybe the monkeys have invented religion?
Pillars? I thought they throw stones to a giant black cube
It's pillars. The cube is what they pray towards.
Nope. That cube is the thing they walk around seven times, but on another day.
And inside the cube is an altar made from an iron-nickel meteorite.
It's not inside, it is inset into a corner on the outside.
Wow, I just posted that, and now I'm going to have to go back and delete my post.
Because it's what they've always done.
The hairless ape is fascinated by things the hairy apes do. Why?
I find our cousins entertaining.
What a strange thing to do. Completely unrelated, I'm gonna go find some smooth stones to skip on a lake because it looks cool and I like the sound
because passing time without a smartphone is just too darn hard.
They're inventing cricket!
We'll know for sure when one chimp bites another's face off for being LBW.
Does it make a loud noise? They also stomp on some tree trunks to make a loud drumming sound. Or a visual mark for others to see, maybe.Territorial thing.
When we discover that this is basically religion, a lot of people will be really confused and in denial.
