You’ve heard of the famous glue-on-pizza advice, right? Well, this one is really fun as well:
Hey, Google, how many rocks should I eat per day?
BERKELEY, CA—Calling the average American diet “severely lacking” in the proper amount of sediment, Geologists at UC Berkeley recommended Tuesday eating at least one small rock per day. “In order to live a healthy, balanced lifestyle, Americans should be ingesting at least a single serving of pebbles, geodes, or gravel with breakfast, lunch, or dinner,” said Dr. Joseph Granger, adding that the rocks, which could range in size from a handful of dust to a medium-sized 5-pound cobblestone, were an important source of vitamins and minerals critical to digestive health.
And I laughed quite a bit when someone sent me a screen shot of this advice. The ResFrac blog got a kick out of being cited in that fake advice, and for a highly technical company of some kind, I bet the surge in traffic was unusual, so I’m glad they found it entertaining.
Personally, I’m trying to imagine nibbling on a medium-sized five-pound cobblestone. It reminds me of the Horta from Star Trek. One of my favorite Original Series novels, My Enemy, My Ally, by Diane Duane, features a horta character.

And of course there was no mention in the advice to indicate that it was meant for Naraht?
No, that would have been too sensible!
I’m still chuckling at the thought of five-pound cobblestones as an addition to the diet.
AI hallucinations get WILD.
NAHHHHH…. I’m not about to eat rocks… Not for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
