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.

That is a branch, you illiterate barbarian!

[–] snooggums@piefed.world 44 points 1 month ago (2 children)

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

[–] pdxfed@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Habahnow@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

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

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 48 points 1 month ago

Twig. NEXT!

[–] DasFaultier@sh.itjust.works 40 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Came here to say just that, yes.

[–] actionjbone@sh.itjust.works 30 points 1 month ago

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

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 29 points 1 month ago (2 children)

No, that is clearly a JPEG.

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

More of a GIF, though isn't it?

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

That's JIF, thank you very much.

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago (3 children)

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

[–] spazzman6156@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago

Nope. Twig.

[–] pebbles@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

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

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.

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 5 points 1 month 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.

The picture needs a banana for scale.

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Ceci n’est pas une stick.

[–] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 13 points 1 month ago

More of a twig, really.

[–] Marty_TF@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 month 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 1 month ago (1 children)

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

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 4 points 1 month ago

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

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

A Rorschach stick

[–] Hayduke@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

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

[–] titter@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] slackassassin@piefed.social 2 points 1 month ago

Hell ya, that stick rules.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

That is a wand of lightning.

[–] socsa@piefed.social 8 points 1 month ago

I'm not going to argue with you.

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

It's a limb, it has multiple branches.

If contains many sticks.

[–] DrSleepless@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago
