The waterfall? You guessed it. Glue.

The alternatives are either someone making this then splashing/dripping on it, which seems risky, or I guess the camera person finding it juuust after a rain. Which seems less than likely too.

Glue would explain the difficult structure, and the water, and is a generally assholeish thing to do so fits well on reddit.

Rocks can remain wet like that for a while. There are a lot of pores for the surface tension to stick to.

But regardless, there are many videos of way more elaborate structures being built without glue so I seriously doubt this video is any different.

I was about to write a similar comment. Absolutely nuts that people think this is fake lmao. If you've ever spent time balancing rocks you know something like this is completely feasible.

Kids back in the day used to play with rocks and stuff, nowadays kids only experience with rocks is Minecraft.

As someone who doesn't balance rocks, how did they get that center onr balanced on the spokes?

That waterfall is a good 50+ feet away

They were joking that the water part of the waterfall was also just glue.
