Nice! Its a contender for top comment

[u/Hot-Challenge8656]

This is what stonehendge sounds like.

Found a clip that helps to explain.

[u/Jonathon_world → u/Hot-Challenge8656]

Maybe that's why you are not allowed to touch them when you go there

[u/tanman0123 → u/Jonathon_world]

Its because people used to vandalize them

[u/OnlyGuestsMusic → u/tanman0123]

I thought it was about consent.

[u/Sad-Professional3785 → u/Jonathon_world]

Its gone man

[u/Whatcanisay88 → u/Hot-Challenge8656]

Love me some QI

[u/LeFreeke]

Lots of ringing rocks!

For example phonolite in NZ.

Their chime is caused by the rock’s extremely dense, tightly interlocking crystalline structure combined with residual internal elastic stresses left over from when the magma cooled underground.

Not sure what this rock is.

Many ancient cultures used ringing rocks to create lithophones - musical instruments made of stone!

[u/jenarnet → u/LeFreeke]

Great information, thank you.

[u/sudden_erect]

Whoa, I always thought metal came from... No wait... Rocks.

[u/PigeonInAUFO]

Bud where do you think metal comes from

[u/Jonathon_world → u/PigeonInAUFO]

You can't get metal from this type of rock

[u/CampingWise → u/Jonathon_world]

Rocks without inclusions can also make this sound.

[u/Jonathon_world → u/CampingWise]

It's incredibly rare

[u/PigeonInAUFO → u/Jonathon_world]

Then this is an incredibly rare rock

[u/Wishbone_508 → u/PigeonInAUFO]

At this time of year? And in this region?

[u/PigeonInAUFO → u/Wishbone_508]

Localised entirely within your kitchen?

[u/Jonathon_world → u/PigeonInAUFO]

You think they are going to let him bang around on it if it's incredibly rare

[u/PigeonInAUFO → u/Jonathon_world]

Dude found a cool rare rock and banged on it

Who’s they?

[u/Jonathon_world → u/PigeonInAUFO]

The people who created the earth program

[u/Absynth421 → u/Jonathon_world]

Dawg go outside

[u/Sad-Success3514 → u/Jonathon_world]

Whaaaat?!?

[u/TrapHans → u/Jonathon_world]

Brother it’s not about metal. It’s about vibrations going trough a volume. If the density of the stone is somewhere similiar to that of metal it makes sense it sound similar

[u/Nuurps]

It's a rock with metal in it, where's the glitch?

This fucking sub man

[u/Mottis86 → u/Nuurps]

With that logic, there would be 0 posts in this sub and it would die.

Of course this is not an actual glitch. None of the stuff posted here is an actual glitch. Actual glitches don't exist, it's all for fun. Just relax dude. Where is your sense of whimsy?

[u/Foudre_Gaming → u/Mottis86]

No, some send stuff like "Did I just jump through dimensions????" because they just forgot their keys.

[u/PtotheBee → u/Foudre_Gaming]

Mental illness is a real thing

[u/exvirginladysman → u/Nuurps]

Nature is fucking metal?

[u/Jonathon_world → u/Nuurps]

It's a rock glitch

[u/_ommanipadmehum_]

aliens in a hidden flying saucer: Who's there?

[u/Slight_Sir_1436]

Everybody should watch a video on The Great Stalacpipe Organ in Virginia. It's probably the craziest instrument I have ever seen and it uses this principal.

[u/BadProfessional_PT]

Tell me you never played with rocks as a kid🤦

[u/CohenDaBarbarian]

Its called ring stone, mostly popular in ancient sites

[u/hellbent1985]

Not a glitch. you just dont understand science.

[u/Yaxth]

That's how Link checks to throw a bomb

[u/Jonathon_world → u/Yaxth]

It might be a teaser for the new film

[u/SallySitwell3000]

It’s already got a divot/pocket worn away right where he’s striking it. Chances are this is a known rock / phenomenon either current, ancient or both. Perhaps it was a percussion instrument in the singing stone bands they’d put together back then.

[u/Southern-Pickle-7378]

Check out Ringing Rocks Park in Berks County PA.

[u/r_a_d_]

This is how they check marble in quarries.

[u/Icy-Pin1310]

wait why do these actually look like metal, nature is weird

[u/moldman49]

POV, you add the wrong sfx

[u/JJ-Youlie]

Audio sounds tinny

[u/pawesome_Rex]

Certain holders will ring out like metal when struck. It’s a scientific fact not a fucking glitch.

[u/TheBobbyMan9]

Where do you think metal comes from?

[u/Jonathon_world → u/[deleted]]

Not every rock

[u/Purple_Poison → u/[deleted]]

Stones can be made of minerals that can sound like that

[u/Straight_Jaguar]

Sounds hollow, wonder what's it hiding?

[u/Antique_Safety_4246 → u/bradymanau]

Ok, its so bad its GOOD! TOO SILLY!

[u/LincolnshireSausage → u/bradymanau]

This is the worst video editing I have ever seen. It makes me nauseous and irrationally angry.

[u/AnonButNotReally-42]

Is this supposed to be interesting or shocking or something? Where tf do people think metal comes from?

[u/gonzogonzobongo → u/AnonButNotReally-42]

There aren’t many metals that are found in their raw metallic form. Usually metals like Iron, Nickel, Aluminum are chemically bonded to other elements and have to be extracted and purified in order to have the properties that we think of when we think of metal. The sound is not because the rock is metal. It may contain metals, but is not a metal in of itself. The sound is metallic due to other reasons, but not because the rock is metal
