Stick Enthusiasts

A place for enthusiasts of sticks of all shapes and sizes. We all love a good stick! Is it a walking stick? Light Saber? Gun? Looks brown and sticky? You decide!

Feel free to post sticks to rate, sticks that look like things, memes about sticks, long winded rants about the superiority of birch sticks over oak, anything stick related! Natural sticks are preferred, but modification and ornamentation is also fine.

I disagree. I would classify this as more of a branch than a stick.

[–] spazzman6156@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 day ago

Nope. Twig.

[–] pebbles@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 days ago

Yeah unless the sides are cleaned up this is a branch.

That is a branch, you illiterate barbarian!

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 43 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Plus, if it fell off the tree it would be a twig at best.

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

Did you just attack its girth and imply it's too skinny? 😡

[–] Habahnow@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

A twig? Are you daft man? It's obviously a stick! LOOK at it!

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago (2 children)

No, that is clearly a JPEG.

[–] Neverclear@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

More of a GIF, though isn't it?

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

That's JIF, thank you very much.

This is a twig. Are twigs sticks? 🤔

Apparently not. Twigs are still attached to the tree and are also flexible. Sticks are detached and dry, so they are not flexible.

That means if a branch or twig falls off the tree, it isn't immediately a stick! It has to dry out a bit, and then it's a stick! God damn. We really have words to differentiate anything and everything. 😮

[–] juja@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Actually, by virtue of it not being attached to the tree anymore after it has fallen, it no longer is a twig even if it hasn’t fully dried up yet. So until it has fully dried, it’s in a state where it’s both twig and stick. A twick if you will.

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 49 points 2 days ago

Twig. NEXT!

[–] MadMadBunny@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 days ago
[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Ceci n’est pas une stick.

[–] DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works 42 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Came here to say just that, yes.

[–] actionjbone@sh.itjust.works 32 points 2 days ago

Excuse me, but it is TOTALLY WRONG to put a comma after the word "prove."

[–] merde@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

A Rorschach stick

[–] slackassassin@piefed.social 2 points 1 day ago

Hell ya, that stick rules.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 13 points 2 days ago

More of a twig, really.

[–] levzzz@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

It's a cylinder.

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 18 points 2 days ago

I'm sorry, but that is actually a $150 table centerpiece from Pier 1 Imports. It adds a touch of natural feeling to your home decor.

[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 days ago

The picture needs a banana for scale.

[–] FuckFascism@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

No it's not, that's a dildo.

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

It's a limb, it has multiple branches.

If contains many sticks.

[–] Ceedoestrees@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] Steve@startrek.website 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

FALSE. This is a branch IF YOU CANt SEE THAT YOU A FUDGING MAROON

[–] Marty_TF@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 days ago

sticky situation to be in when demanding conflict. best not to stick your nose into this sorta thing.

[–] 6nk06@sh.itjust.works 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Too thin to be called a stick, it's a fucking stupid branch. DOWNVOTED!

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 4 points 2 days ago

It's a branch because it's not a single strand.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

That is a wand of lightning.

[–] pseudo@jlai.lu 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Beautiful! Thanks for sharing.

[–] guynamedzero@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

Are you kidding me? This is nazi propaganda and you’re calling it beautiful? Get a fucking grip asshole

[–] PriorityMotif@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

It's long, brown, and sticky

[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Well now, to the untrained eye it might appear to be an ordinary stick, but there are several factors one must consider.

[–] Highlow@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago

That is not better than bacon

[–] socsa@piefed.social 8 points 2 days ago

I'm not going to argue with you.

[–] badbytes@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Um.. Actually everyone's wrong, it's a Tree.

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Clearly a marshmallow roasting tool

[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

I wouldn't it's a stick. It is sticky however. And brown.

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

How antagonizing.
