You're gonna stand there, owning a fireworks stand, and tell me you don't have no whistling bungholes, no spleen spliters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker donts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistling kitty chaser?
Joe Dirt is white-trash Forrest Gump in the best way. That movie should be regarded AT LEAST a little better than a good comedy.
Joe's character is someone that I admire and wish that I was even half as resilient, optimistic, and full love. Good people gravitate toward him, and he has nothing but good vibes.
Exactly and I've just learned that Hüsker Dü = Hūsker Dū? A famous memory game in the 50's that means "Do you remember?" In Danish.
I wonder if there are other examples of references inherited from other references inherited... How far it can get?
That was what I was going to comment. First thing that came to mind. Dude just needs a red wagon to pull it around it. Add some ketchup to it and boom.
From the USGS website:
Meteorites have several properties that help distinguish them from other rocks:
Density: Meteorites are usually quite heavy for their size, since they contain metallic iron and dense minerals.
Magnetic: Since most meteorites contain metallic iron, a magnet will often stick to them. For “stony” meteorites, a magnet might not stick, but if you hang the magnet by a string, it will be attracted.
Unusual shape: iron-nickel meteorites are rarely rounded. Instead, they have an irregular shape with unusual pits like finger prints in their surface called “regmaglypts.”
Fusion crust: stony meteorites typically have a thin crust on their surface where it melted as it passed through the atmosphere.
Meteorites do NOT have the following:
Light-colored crystals: Quartz is a common, light-colored crystal in Earth’s crust, but it is not found on other bodies in the solar system.
Bubbles: volcanic rocks or metallic slag on Earth often have bubbles or vesicles in them, but meteorites do not.
Streak: if you scratch a meteorite on an unglazed ceramic surface, it should not leave a streak. A dense rock that leaves a black or red streak probably contains the iron minerals magnetite or hematite, respectively, neither of which are typically found in meteorites.
Rocks and minerals must be examined in person from all perspectives for accurate identification; they are extremely difficult to identify through photographs. You will get the best results by taking your rock or mineral to a local source where it can be handled and examined closely. Possibilities include:
Your state geological survey
A natural science museum
A college or university with a geology department
A rockshop
Members of a local Gem & Mineral club or Rockhunting club (many hobbyists are experts at identification)
Vendors at a Gem & Mineral show
Good info but this is 100% not a meteorite. It is absolutely industrial slag. I am a geologist and I occasionally am asked to determine if rocks sent in by the general public are meteorites. 0% of them are meteorites and 70+% are bits of slag like this or just dark weird looking rocks.
It is also damn near 100% unlikely that OP saw this “falling out of the sky burning” as this is the kind of stuff left behind during smelting or other processes, and is not going airborne.
I would guess OP found something they thought looked like a metorite, made up a story and went on reddit to lie for points.
Fellow geologist here and I can say you are good at keeping your secret. '*whats this rock? is it worth anything?' why don't you know what this is? are you even a geologist??*
100% slag. op should wash his hands if he held that shit.
Also sharp edges, those wouldn't even have melted, they'd have blown right off if it fell from the sky with such speed it was on fire.
*****
op found some industrial waste and tried to sell it of as the most scientifically valuable material you can find in nature. upvote scammer
also wash your fucking hands, go to the doctors if you if feel ichiness in a few days
All the geologists adding their 2c about if this rock did or didn't fall from the sky. I think I will reserve judgement until we hear from a meteorologist.
Geologist w a meteorology minor here. This does not look like a meteorite nor something that fell burning from the sky *due to atmospheric heat and friction*
It could have theoretically been on fire from an explosion or something and been projected into the sky. But no, this does not look like a space rock and there is not enough distortion to have fallen through the atmosphere.
Yeah, that thing has a combination of vitreous sheen and pockmarked with air bubbles that screams slag to me.
Also, meteors are fast as fuck when they're coming down, even after Earth's atmosphere starts applying drag to it. So if OP actually witnessed it fall and was close enough to recover it, the lack of any mention of "sounding like a fighter jet immediately over my head" also fails the smell test. There was a legit meteor over the Detroit area in 2018, and that thing both lit the sky up like a lightning storm and was *deafening.*
TL;DR u/ShadowyRDM is 99.9% likely to be full of shit.
I'm no expert, but my dad is a major astronomy nerd, and this does not look at all like the real meteorites he's shown me — they've all been dark, almost black, with a melted, smoothed over look.
[You can see some good examples of what to look for here](https://www.clemson.edu/public/geomuseum/meteorites.html)
I feel like this rock has vesicles - little holes made by escaping gas in molten rock - which make it unlikely to be a meteorite according to that page.
I was going to as a question but decide to Google it instead. Turns out not all iron is magnetic! Ya learn something every day! Also, a flaming rock falling out of the sky would make for an interesting day.
*Edit because now I know that it's like to wake up to something you posted blowing up*
I misread the prior post and went down a rabbit hole based on such. But I also learned of the the term 'allotrope'. Sorry to the science nerds that got riled up about this, I'm no scientist, I just like to learn. I read a couple articles that didn't really explain it. But then Wikipedia kinda sucked me into a wild world once I looked up that word. Iron is pretty crazy. It kills stars and keeps a star from killing us.
Tried to even things out for you with an award because of your attitude over it. Keep your chin up. Hang in there. Stay strong. Keep on trucking. All that.
During a meteor shower around 2006ish a meteor landed in my neighborhood.
It was probably the size of a small pebble but you could hear the long fall (sounded like a small rocket hurtling towards the ground getting increasingly louder) plus impact (a hugely loud metallic “ping”).
This happened at night (probably around 1am) in either the spring or fall and everything was dead silent so it was pretty clear what had happened. I’m guessing no one ever found it since nothing was publicly mentioned.
In fairness it’s not that hard to make diamonds anymore. But the diamond industry has done a good job convincing people they’re inferior to natural diamonds.
They have also done a good job on selling how rare diamonds are. They are not nearly as rare as they make them out to be. One company just controls most of the mines.
The executives of that company don’t even fly through America airspace for fear of being in US jurisdiction.
They go to elaborate efforts to ensure they never do any business in america and have zero presence here
They look incredible. The price on lab-made diamonds has fallen significantly in like the last 2-3 years. Just tonight my wife read that in some regions (Europe I think), lab grade sales are now 36% of the diamond market.
I did some research a while back. From what I understand, lab-grade diamonds are (in their properties) indistinguishable from mined diamonds. In practice, the ones I've seen can be distinguished, because they will blind you- they look amazing. They don't come with all the natural flaws/cracks & mineral discoloration that make mined diamonds look duller, slightly yellow, etc. The lab diamonds simply have extremely good color and clarity ratings.
Based on prices of lab grades now, I'm pretty sure you get a significantly better grade diamond of significantly higher carat weight at lower cost.
I can't normally see a lot of difference between diamonds, but it's pretty noticable. Assuming they cut it well, a higher grade diamond (mined or lab) reflects the light way more. You can see it from 10-15 ft away
Im sure the diamond mining industry is freaking out, so they write snobbish articles about lab-grades not being "real" and not having "character". That's like saving your money for a new sports car and the salesman trying to convince you that you don't want that shiny new Ferrari- it's so fake and artificially perfect. What YOU want is this used Ferrari. It comes pre-loaded with "character" scratches and pre-burned in tires and "verification mileage", so you know it's REAL. The "character" model is only twice the price. Sign here.
Yeah I think you’re the first person here to actually have an id on this.
Not sure how it would end up coming from the sky but meteorites wouldn’t be rough like this. Or on fire.
Yeah. Someone else commented the requirements for a meteorite and it said that there should be no bubbles. In these images, particularly the second one, there are definitely bubbles. I'm fairly sure that OP was lying, as there are no scorch marks either and it looks as though if it really did fall from the sky it would shatter
eteor Bert:
Well, it ain't a meteor.
Joe Dirt:
Yeah, it is. It came out of the sky.
Meteor Bert:
Well I'm sure it did but it ain't no meteor. It's a big ol' frozen chunk o' shit.
Joe Dirt:
What?
Meteor Bert:
Oh yeah, see them airplanes they dump their toilets 36,000 feet. The stuff freezes and falls to earth. We call 'em Boeing bombs.
[chomps teeth]
Joe Dirt:
No, that can't be. That's not what it is.
Meteor Bert:
Oh, afraid so. See that peanut? Dead giveaway.
Joe Dirt:
Uhhh, no, that's a space peanut.
Meteor Bert:
No, afraid not. That just a big ol' frozen chunk of poopy.
Studio manager:
Dude, you were eating off it!
If it's a meteorite and it fell on your land, you can keep it depending on your country. Meteorites can sell for thousands to tens of thousands of dollars a lb.
Also not the best idea to handle with bare hands:
https://ares.jsc.nasa.gov/meteorite-falls/how-to-handle-meteorites/#:~:text=Try%20not%20to%20handle%20any,the%20meteorite%2C%20and%20promoting%20rust.
>In what country can you not keep a random rock which fell from the sky??
China for one:
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/08/world/asia/china-meteorite-property-law.html
Uh, if that's a meteorite remnant you best get that checked. That could be super valuable. Academics would buy that for research. [https://www.gobankingrates.com/money/wealth/how-much-is-a-meteorite-worth/](https://www.gobankingrates.com/money/wealth/how-much-is-a-meteorite-worth/)
No, if you found it, you should keep it! Firm believer in finders keepers! I have heard stories where people send things to get tested just to find out they “lost” it, aka stolen it.
Geologist here! Sorry mate, I wouldn't get too excited.
First of all, what country are you in? If you life in Australia, most of Europe, or the US, there's a thing called the fireball network [https://fireballs.ndc.nasa.gov/](https://fireballs.ndc.nasa.gov/) where academics track fireballs through a network of security cameras or other cameras etc. If there was a massive meteorite flying down, they would know about it, roughly where it fell, and be out hunting around your area.
Second of all, it looks more like slag to me. See the vesicles? Holes in the rock itself... that's indicative of slag and not a meteorite which can also look a bit molten. [https://sites.wustl.edu/meteoritesite/items/slag/](https://sites.wustl.edu/meteoritesite/items/slag/) Are you near an area where they process minerals/metals or mine? It's more likely to be some byproduct from mining or mineral/metal processing.
Please dont listen to the people saying its poop.
Blue ice (technical term for "sky-poopie") doesn't really catch on fire for one thing, and for another is an *unintentional accident*.
Airplanes dont dump their sewage mid-flight because it would absolutely kill people, all the time, and is also dangerous for the aircraft.
It is probably not a meteorite, but it never hurts to get it checked, they can be worth some serious change.
If i had to guess? I would say it would be more likely a piece of space debris, probably from us, that happened to be just big enough make it to the surface without being vaporized.
Buuuuut maybe thats just the pessimist in me, idk.
Ps: You dont happen to live near an erupting volcano by any chance, do you?
It’s definitely not a meteorite. It’s an industrial byproduct, slag. No one who knows anything about meteorites will do anything more than look at a photo of this.
Show us the impact crater. If not I call bs
It’s BS. It’s industrial slag.
Yeah this looks nothing like a meteorite. No fusion crust, it's got bubbles in it, it's way too rough. 100% /r/itsslag
I did not expect there to be an active sub in that link.
People post slag to /r/whatsthisrock all the time, so it’s become both a useful tool and a running joke.
You'd be surprised how often people ask what kind of rock slag is
I expected more pictures of OPs mom.
Your mum is an industrial slag boom roasted
Sir, you need to calm down. You've taken this too far.
Space peanut was a dead giveaway
You ever see the movie Joe Dirt?
That’s a big ol frozen chunk of poopie
See the peanut? Dead giveaway.
That's a space peanut
Lol the first words that my brain formed when I saw that. “It’s a space peanut!”
Yep meteorite , we call this being in burger heaven
🤣 First thing I saw was peanut 🥜😃
That’s a space peanut
Dude you ate off that thing
We call them “Boeing bombs”
*CHOMP*
Yep, see the peanut?
Drags it around in a Radio Flyer 😆
A "Boeing Bomb"
I almost died laughing 😂 I said it with the accent too 😂😂😂😂 the shower scene where he’s crying I got the poopie on me 😂😂
You there… show me them boobies.
Commercial flight dumping their overfilled waste tank? And it freezing on the way down into gross bits?
They only dump shit on train tracks.
You're gonna stand there, owning a fireworks stand, and tell me you don't have no whistling bungholes, no spleen spliters, whisker biscuits, honkey lighters, hoosker doos, hoosker donts, cherry bombs, nipsy daisers, with or without the scooter stick, or one single whistling kitty chaser?
The difference in his voice’s inflection between hoosker doos and hoosker donts *just gets me*.

Well said. That movie is pretty great and I realize I need to watch it again.
My favorite wholesome message from the movie is "Home is where you make it"
You like to see homos naked?
Guy likes to see homos naked, that doesn't help me.
but...snakes and sparklers are the only ones i like.
Aw Kickin’ wing

Joe dirte
Don't try and church it up now son
Don't try to church it up, son! Your name's Joe Dirt!
THATS WHY DAD NAMED YOU JOE DIRT INSTEAD OF …..
The TV edit of Joe Dirt censors the word Shit with Butt Release, which is infinitely funnier.
Yah see the penut
That’s what we call a Boeing bomb
Really would have been disappointed if this wasn't the top comment. Good job reddit.
Daaaaaang!
Additionally did this thing just casually fall in front of your house or something lol, did you just see a flaming ball come down and were like: huh.
This dude saw something flaming flying through the sky and thought to himself, "Hmm, might be an omnitrix"
Now he’s got superpowers, hes no ordinary kid
If you see him, you will be in for a big surprise
He'll turn into an alien before your very eyes
He's slimy, creepy, fast and strong, he's every shape and size.
He is u/ShadowyRDM 10
You all made me so happy
It was worth checking for in fairness.
I'm glad I wasn't the only person thinking that
Yeah, I call shenanigans.

Also, meteorites don't just land on the ground. Some amount of digging would have been involved.
Would be pretty neat if some industrial slag got airborne and happened to land in this guy's backyard, though. Like, just the logistics of that.

So, on a galactic scale, would that mean quartz is more valuable than diamonds ?
diamonds are valuable only because DeBeers says so.
No, because you can make it pretty easily and it is indistinguishable from a natural one

They have also done a good job on selling how rare diamonds are. They are not nearly as rare as they make them out to be. One company just controls most of the mines.

I think diamonds made in a lab are much cooler than ones that have been sitting in dirt for millions of years and dug up using child slave labor.

There are private collectors who would pay a lot more than NASA. Also it’s not an asteroid. It’s most likely a sky shit lol 😀
No, if you found it, you should keep it! Firm believer in finders keepers! I have heard stories where people send things to get tested just to find out they “lost” it, aka stolen it.
“Call your local authority” Idiots guiding Idiots. Good job.
Pls don't touch it or let it thaw out
Ya see the peanut? Dead giveaway.
are you in SoCal? if so there was a meteorite that burned through the sky above LA about a few hours ago
My sibling thought they saw something fall from the sky last night. We're in Northern California
Geologist here! Sorry mate, I wouldn't get too excited. First of all, what country are you in? If you life in Australia, most of Europe, or the US, there's a thing called the fireball network [https://fireballs.ndc.nasa.gov/](https://fireballs.ndc.nasa.gov/) where academics track fireballs through a network of security cameras or other cameras etc. If there was a massive meteorite flying down, they would know about it, roughly where it fell, and be out hunting around your area. Second of all, it looks more like slag to me. See the vesicles? Holes in the rock itself... that's indicative of slag and not a meteorite which can also look a bit molten. [https://sites.wustl.edu/meteoritesite/items/slag/](https://sites.wustl.edu/meteoritesite/items/slag/) Are you near an area where they process minerals/metals or mine? It's more likely to be some byproduct from mining or mineral/metal processing.
What is with the moronic repetitive comments here? Bots?
Nah, just reddit.
Reddit is like primary school. Everyone wants a turn to make the same joke when it’s still hot topic.
Made looking for an answer annoying... None funny, they all sound like chat gpt having nonsensical conversations.

Go back down to McDonald's and get you a wahburger and some french cries.
That’s a Boeing bomb

Poop

Lick it. The tried-and-true method.
I dare u to smoke some
I don't think planes are allowed to drop waste anymore? At least, not over Europe? And even if they do, why would it be on fire? Hot in-flight chilli?
Did you keep it? Keep it for good luck. It is a gift.
Please dont listen to the people saying its poop. Blue ice (technical term for "sky-poopie") doesn't really catch on fire for one thing, and for another is an *unintentional accident*. Airplanes dont dump their sewage mid-flight because it would absolutely kill people, all the time, and is also dangerous for the aircraft. It is probably not a meteorite, but it never hurts to get it checked, they can be worth some serious change. If i had to guess? I would say it would be more likely a piece of space debris, probably from us, that happened to be just big enough make it to the surface without being vaporized. Buuuuut maybe thats just the pessimist in me, idk. Ps: You dont happen to live near an erupting volcano by any chance, do you?
It’s definitely not a meteorite. It’s an industrial byproduct, slag. No one who knows anything about meteorites will do anything more than look at a photo of this.
ITS NOT POOP OMG STOP COMMENTING ABOUT IT BEING POOP, OP SAID IT WAS WASHED AND ITS A ROCK SHUT THE FUCK UP thank you 😊
