It’s always “You have ADHD.” Why is it never “Thank you for telling me about the geologic history of what is now New Jersey after having spent hours reading about it because you saw this cool rock outside a Barnes & Noble, Mike.”

I say, "Nice looking rock!" My husband, a structural geologist with his PhD, says, “It looks like a meta-sedimentary rock: angular quartz pebble conglomerate. But it might be part of the Triassic red beds of the Newark series.”

Very cool rock.

Turtle Duck Wizard

That. Rocks.

Yes, exactly. They may be amazed at how much you know, but they need to degrade it as sour grapes, so they don't feel inferior for not knowing much at all.

I mean...that is an interesting rock.

Thank you. Yes. Yes, it is.

When you think about how stars and planets form and from what, the fact that rocks exist here at all just feels insane.

My husband recently diagnosed and my daughter… living and learning …and not taking things personally 🤷‍♀️

You’ll never get the level of gratitude and amazement you deserve…. Like a mom… every minute every day

That’s just my cross to bear, I guess.

You and me both …. Teenagers 🤷‍♀️ But my soul animal is ALWAYS there for me…

Is it puddingstone?

Cool rock. Definitely not Manhattan schist.

"Clastic metamorphic" comes to mind, but may be wrong too.

That really does look like a cool rock!

You have excellent taste in rocks. Thank you for noticing.

I mean, this looks like some quartz and other pre-existing rocks got broken up during...something, and were then combined with some (stuff?) and made into an entirely new rock. I've had university geology classes, but it's been a loooong time since then.

Per my extensive research until I got bored, some preexisting rocks did indeed get broken up by something and then combined with some other stuff. Your geology class really paid off.

“A flying mind”. I have no diagnosis. I’m 74 yrs old & from childhood I took seriously that one of my purposes in life: to learn as much as I can about as much as I can. I DO however try to use restraint when wanting to share my excitement and the knowledge to everybody. Sometimes that works. 😉

You might be on the autism spectrum based on that story. And please note that is a compliment coming from someone with ASD.

I found myself last night chasing a Linux kernel to firmware bug for a particular model of laptop (mine) with zero experience in Linux, Firmware. After several hours, I looked up the issue and realized the Linux community had written off as even too obscure for them, lol.

I had a rock collection glued in a box when I was a little kid, and this was called "conglomerate." It also had a stone called "uranium." Probably best that that rock collection is long gone.

Looks metamorphic to me.

I’m no geologist, but I would posit that it is actually sedimentary and the quartzite pebbling is a product of the deposition of prior erosional till. Or something.

Love Rocks!!

That is a really cool rock, Mike.
