what's up with this /out/ism ?
why do normalfags love making these?

>>2810188 (OP)
npc behaviour is to copy whatever low hanging fruit meme/trend their fellow monke are doing. whatever its so satisfying to knock them over as you go

>>2810188 (OP)

I do it to deadnuts flex on nu-/out/ and all the larpers and fags that it enrages. Takes about a minute to stack one. Cucks seethe about it on here for years.

It takes less than a second to kick them over which is more fun

i built a small cairn on an unknown secondary peak to mark the highest point of the mountain, that otherwise wasn't very clear. i got lower back pain trying to lift a very heavy rock that paralized me for two weeks

>>2810215
>Builds cairn for the lols in historic landscape because le funny

>>2810428

Seethe and cry, it's getting warmer and I'm gonna start going out to fix my trail markers soon. Maybe I'll post some pictures to trigger you.

I thought this was an ameritard thing but apparently normies have started making Instagram cairns here too
I hope you fags don't destroy real cairns on trails

That'd be ok in my book, but you spend hundred of hours posting about how much you cairns. What's wrong with you?

again, calm down
you can just leave the thread if you're this livid
hide it from the catalog

my confusion is on why did normalfags adopt it? what popularized it?
I would understand a big one as a trail marker

you being chronically buttmad at the same 5-15 year old pictures that the algorithm keeps sending you because you keep engaging isn't "getting popular with the normrinos!111"

>>2810618
Nice try. Kick every cairn. No exceptions.

>>2810728
were all those rocks a whole bunch of cairns?
In my country I only ever see them as trail markers and sometimes small ones on top of peaks, I've never found a big conglomerate of them like that

>>2810733
>were all those rocks a whole bunch of cairns?
Yes, we knocked every single one down. It was very therapeutic. If I see a legit cairn marking a poorly marked trail I'll leave it alone, but cairn sites like those are just an eyesore and need to go.

>>2810734
yeah that's understandable, I wonder what kind of autism makes people build dozens of cairns in the same place like that

>>2810396
Yeah, because in Europe, building cairns is tradition. They mark trails, camping spots, good places to get down to a creek and get water etc. Basically, if you agree with what they signify, you add a rock (exactly one, unless the cairn is already too tall, in which ase you take two rocks and start a new one next to it), if you don't you leave them alone. If you see a cairn, you know a number of people thought there was something good about that spot / trail / etc.
If you grew up anywhere in Europe, Russia or northern Asia, you'd know.
Anyways, sorry for calling you an American, Mehmet...

>>2810188 (OP)
>>2810561
Instagram and TikTok. They make them to post on social media because they saw other people do it on social media. It's like how everybody lines up to take pics in the same spots in every national park or whatever even though there are plenty of other just as impressive views all over the place, it's not about the actual thing, it's just doing what everybody else does so that you can show that you did it.

>>2810733
>I've never found a big conglomerate of them like that
no one does, rock cucks don't go outside.

I over all cairns I see that aren't mine but put up my own. This way I am trolling both the groos instagram thots who make them and the degenerate incel oh my science redditors who seethe about them. I am harvesting your loosh.

>>2810566
>chronically buttmad
why are you projecting?
I'm just genuinely confused, for some reason why're assuming I'm livid, that's so weird

>>2810816
Kick. Every. Cairn.

>>2810760
do you have big ones as trail markers?
I don't think my local trails even have much of a space for a huge one
people just make small ones at waterfall basins

it doesn't trigger me, I just enjoy returning the rocks to their rightful place in the stream as a habitat.
if anything, the people who stack them get triggered when I knock them over.

I wish I found one of those, looks like it would be fun to knock down with rocks from a distance

>>2810465
What I gather from that webm is if someone made a cairn from large enough rocks then there's a chance to laugh at an /out/ post going
>"Fucking cairns, I was minding my business & one fell on my foot randomly!(I was kicking cairns)"

>>2810188 (OP)
Knock these down whenever you see them. Not only are they dangerous to small animals, but the ones near beaches can confuse baby sea turtles and prevent them from getting to the water.
Just because they look cool doesn't mean you should make them

>>2811104
I have one at the end of my driveway made from boulders pulled from where I built my shop. They're like 4 to 8 tons each with rebar pins tying them together.
It gets more complaints from basedsuckers and karens about "environmental damage" than the abandoned heating oil business a few miles down the same road with visibly leaking storage tanks and near suffocating oil stink.

>>2811093

Except they were more than likely put there by people swimming and having fun, whereas you're having a panic attack about them being arranged in a way that triggers you.
If you just knocked them down instead of virtue signaling and crying about them existing, nobody would bat an eye, it's the triggered lefty behavior that people have issue with.
That and you all destroying historic monuments because oh no le stacked rock is causing global warming!!!

how much of a pussy do you have to be to get hurt by a pebble? I used to kick liberal skulls like balloons

how tall should my cairns be to mark a trail?

why are you guys mad, turist are gay for bulding cairn simple as

>>2811163
>nooooo moving rocks is destroying the environment you stupid chuddite!
The only time I ever mention my trail markers is when you retards have an apocalyptic meltdown claiming that some rocks that I dug up from my garden are destroying the world because I arranged them in a specific way in a different place.

>>2811263
Tall enough for you to be able to see them through the local vegetation.

>>2811280
I'm going to kick every fucking cairn!

>>2811348
>Tall enough for you to be able to see them through the local vegetation.
so they're worthless where I hike, forest too dense

uhh am i missing something, i only know these as navigational tools on trails rather than like "decoration", isnt that what theyre supposed to be for?

im all for kicking over the instagram ones but at least in the southwest those are kinda vital to a lot of old routes

>>2810833
derp

i built a cairn underwater and little fish emerged and started cleaning the rocks, this was about 5m deep so good luck shit kickers haha

>>2812753
>science
/pol/ and incel deduction isnt science.
Rock carins in ancient time were used to mark that you were close to a location of importance(not just spiritually) it could be a place to get water, a village or even a place to have shelter for a little bit.
Nowadays a bunch of nu/neopagans do it because it's trendy. in modern times it has no significant value especially if it marks nothing. Another major problem is that they make a ton.
One is fine but twenty in a location is destroying the ecosystem.
being a raging faggot over rocks is hilarious. you should get a bloodtest to see if you have low testosterone as raging over super minor stuff like rocks to """"""""""""own""""""""""" people isnt a good sign

>>2813057
>>2812773
Jannies gonna jannie. I never mentioned science, just that there's a clear answer to this debate. You will find 90% of cairns you encounter serve no purpose but to disrupt the natural beauty of a place. It's just a tasteless monument to the inflated ego of whoever decided to leave their mark where none belongs. If someone finds joy in stacking rocks they can do it in a place that hasn't been set aside as a place to preserve and appreciate nature just the way it is.

>>2813666
>agreed with you

you didnt even read my post i said they DO serve a purpose but that purpose is no longer necessary in modern times.
Maybe if you knew how to read the jannies wouldnt ban you :)

you literally derailed the thread the other day becaude you wanted to talk about people sucking your cock. it's in the archive. And you faggots also spams these carin hate threads like the tick spammer and clutch poster

>>2813675
Make no mistake, this thread *is* for cocksuckers. There's nothing to debate here, and even if there were you wouldn't be able to because of the kind of people who frequent this place. It's retards like you and me screaming into the void and trying to own each other, which is fun sometimes, but allowing it everywhere all the time has had a detrimental effect on the culture of this board. Who remembers what the vibe was like here when /out/ was new?

>>2813678
im not even the guy crying about rocks dude. I was literally agreeing with you and then you decided to throw a tantrum.
With this behavior im fairly certain you werent here when this board was new or here when moot was around. Continue crying about how much you hate rocks. People will continue to make carins your whining is pointless

>>2813680
I still don't understand how you got "tantrum" from a gentle correction of the record and a simply worded take on what most cairns represent. Like you said, we agree in that much at least. Why then are you so primed to jump down my throat? Could it have something to with the type of "debate" that has become common on this board? Do you behave like this everywhere else, or is it only in this specific context?

>>2813681
Why are you so angry over rocks?

>>2813682
I don't know how many different ways I have to say this but I am not angry about rocks. I'm disappointed with the quality of discourse about rocks and the culture of this place in general.

Last I checked it was Instagram hoes and insufferable hippy bitches building this shit. Speak for yourself bud. It's okay, we all know you fap to ultra passoid troons. Nothing wrong with that.

You all are literally destroying the scenery, violating the rules of parks, and fucking up the wild life by moving rocks so you can play poor man's legos out in nature. There are cairns you're not supposed to fuck with that are set up by the parks and rangers as markers for people to not get lost. It's gotten so bad that the Colorado rangers have told people to just start kicking all cairns that aren't there's. Again, a place loaded with crystal hippy bitches with a narcissistic belief that what they're building will remain.

Hell yes I'm mad and I take pleasure in watching you all pretend you're not mad that someone kicked over your narcissistic attempt at building something you think is gonna last longer than you. It looks like a literal pile of poop.
Kick. Every. Cairn.

I swear most of the people in this thread probably aren't even real.

>>2810188 (OP)
it's a pedo club symbol out in the wild, but OP already knew this

I had no idea so many buttercups were upset by these little rock towers. I will now proceed to build them whenever I can on trails. Even if some mook kicks it over I will have already won by making them upset and causing them to chimp out.

Why was there no response to this?

The best part about making stone cairns is knowing that niggers don't know how to.
And its important to make stone cairns, so that you can remind negros that they aren't allowed to have anything good in life.

No one here understands.

It’s a fine balance between rock stackers and rock kickers.
One cannot exist without the other. If there weren’t any rock kickers you would have too many stackers. Same vice versa.

Perfectly balanced as all things should be :)

>>2810188 (OP)
If nothing was kicked over there would be no reason to stack up a cairn.
Without cairns you would have nothing to kick over.

It's a symbiosis.

>>2810188 (OP)
