TIL Plymouth Rock, where the Pilgrims allegedly landed the Mayflower in the USA in 1620, is literally just a rock, not a cliff or mountain or island or something. (en.wikipedia.org)

It’s really the stupidest thing ever. For those of us here in New England, as kids we all expected to see this cool thing and we get taken to this stone instead. I’ve got more impressive rocks in my backyard. Plymouth itself is a nice place to visit as adults, but this silly rock that’s probably not even true is the lamest of lame.
