Rebecca R Helm @rebeccarhelm.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Best part is that no one is sure this is even THE rock, it’s just *a* rock they put a little pen around.Alexander Luckmann@aluckmann.bsky.socialOnce again posting Plymouth Rock, the final boss of disappointing landmarks 42920183
Amber @zombieartbrain.bsky.social · 17/01/2026I can't seem to find this on wikipedia but I feel like I remember too that it was a big rock that the town wanted to remove to build a street and then people began being like, wait no this is the rock that one guy talked about once as a rock that was important. 000
Guy Fieri’s Tattoo Artist @scottielambchop.bsky.social · 17/01/2026I hate the idea that the real Plymouth Rock could be roaming free while this innocent one has been wrongfully imprisoned. 0162
A Stenson-Childs @ajschilds.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Love the idea some absolute chancer one day started putting a velvet rope around a random and a little sign selling tickets, all while a friend is telling them, "Come on. No one's going to fall for this." 000
Garrett Wollman @gwollman.bsky.social · 17/01/2026@natedimeo.bsky.social has an excellent episode about it that he reran this past Thanksgiving. 000
Charles Bergquist @cbquist.bsky.social · 17/01/2026I was in a park in Little Rock, Arkansas, and there's a plaque directing you to the actual Little Rock the town is named for, a landmark for people navigating the river. The plaque says something like "this rock used to be a lot bigger until they blew part of it up for the railway bridge." 0121
Rebecca R Helm @rebeccarhelm.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Honestly the more I learn the more I love this rock 41093
Emerald Kitty 🏳️⚧️ @emeraldkittycat.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Wait. Is that an unusually large rock for the area? I always just assumed it was more substantial, like this. 2150
Nat Woodward (Deluxe Edition) @natwoodward.bsky.social · 17/01/2026It's only part of A rock, located in an arbitrary spot in the town where the Pilgrims did NOT first set foot in America. The best you can say about it is that it's a small fragment of a symbol that originated 121 years after the events commemorated. 000
Diamanda Hagan @diamandahagan.bsky.social · 17/01/2026They'll be mindblown if they find out that The Mayflower is currently a barn in England. 051
Jay’s Art Corner @jaysartcorner.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Maybe this is the real stone of scone and the one in England is actually Plymouth Rock! 010
cheezeofages @cheezeofages.bsky.social · 17/01/2026I am reminded of a landmark I live near that is the house where a famed criminal was shot dead by cops. But the actual spot he was shot is several blocks away and 50ft in the air because they moved the house (twice) and destroyed the hill it was on for a road. And the bullet hole exhibit is... 130
Pickles! @misterpickleman.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Poor thing. They really should let it go free. Imagine life in such a little pen. 000
myrealnameisdj.bsky.social @myrealnameisdj.bsky.social · 17/01/2026I grew up near there and it's literally a different rock than was there like 25 years ago! 2390
Darunia Sage|Road to 500 ttv followers! @daruniasage.com · 17/01/2026I was expecting bigger. Because this looks too small to be the rock they ran aground on. 000
FearRanger ΘΔ 🔞🏳️🌈 (She/Her) @fearranger.bsky.social · 17/01/2026When Cole Porter sang "Plymouth Rock would land on them", I didn't think they'd treat it seriously and lock it up! 000
cavu4ever.bsky.social @cavu4ever.bsky.social · 17/01/2026There’s a great discussion on The/a Rock in Nathaniel Philbrick’s “Mayflower” (can recommend the book overall) 000
Pope Francis II, Ghoulmaxxing @francisgasparini.bsky.social · 17/01/2026well the sand is nicely raked at least 250
KevTheRev @kevtherev.bsky.social · 17/01/2026That poor rock did nothing wrong and it's still in prison for a crime it didn't commit. 000
Chekhov's Murder Hornets @alenxa.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Everybody wants a rock to build a little pen around. 140
Lee Gordon @leegordon.bsky.social · 17/01/2026I had the same reaction the first time I saw Plymouth Rock as I did when I saw the famous Mermaid in Copenhagen: that little thing is it? 000

Alan Fisher @amfisher.bsky.social · 17/01/2026That rock used to escape all the time. Killed dozens of pilgrims. 1230
Hazard Hostile @hazardhostile.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Why would anyone watch a rock in a cage when they could watch Nic Cage in The Rock 061
Rhode PVD @rhodepvd.bsky.social · 17/01/2026My dad who saw it in the late 1950s said it filled the whole enclosure there, but tourists kept chipping pieces off so it got smaller and smaller 130
lucas, ho chi minh thot @antioccident.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Actually worse/funnier than the Liberty Bell replica in Philadelphia 000
Mike Vachow @mikevachow.bsky.social · 17/01/2026I remember thinking when I first saw it that it looked like the rock at the entrance to a driveway anywhere in the Midwest. 010
Dmitri. #freeLink @momus.bsky.social · 17/01/2026that's a pretty medium sized boulder the size of a medium boulder 1110
Joey Protons @tankhammer.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Never let the truth get in the way of a mediocre story! I got to show my girlfriend who grew up in Florida Plymouth Rock and I was so excited to see her reaction. So many people assume it's some big geological formation or something. It's priceless! 030
Sang As It Ever Will Be @sanguinarynovel.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Wanna get a shirt that says "I'm pretty sure I touched Plymouth Rock??" 010
Erik Champion @erikmc.bsky.social · 17/01/2026I can understand the pen. Who wants rock 'n roll in Plymouth? 000
Matthew Varley @varbles.bsky.social · 17/01/2026The opposite of The London Stone. That one is important, but nobody knows why anymore. So they just keep taking care of it. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_...en.wikipedia.orgLondon Stone - Wikipedia 1160
Lara @lhubzzz.bsky.social · 17/01/2026Even as a small child I was extremely disappointed by the size of that rock. But if it's just a rock, couldn't they have chosen a bigger one? 030
Cassidy Lilith, The Red Handed Demon @red-handed.bsky.social · 17/01/2026It isn't that rock, it's this rock I have at my house 000
Wee Potatoes @weepotatoes.bsky.social · 17/01/2026The Mayflower Steps on the other side of the journey in Plymouth, are extraordinarily dull and also not the real thing but in their defence, none of us really give much of a shit about them. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayflow...en.wikipedia.orgMayflower Steps - Wikipedia 010
