It's a large boulder the size of a small boulder relative to an even larger boulder.

Perhaps we should invent a word for sizes between large and small. Somewhere in the middle.

Naw, sounds like ~~too much~~ ~~too little~~ just the right amount of effort.

I think mistakes like this are usually caused by someone changing their mind on one thing they wrote and forgetting to proofread the whole thing to see if it still makes sense. I imagine this sentence started out as "Rock the size of a small boulder".

Probably "the size of a small car".

Not just this post, but I wish every tweet or social media post had a date tied to it. "21 hours ago" tells me nothing about when this was actually posted.

Like that burned-in timestamp feature on film cameras.
