This post made me realize that lemmy is big enough to warrant a best-of community for good comments like this! Is there one like that already?

Still thinking about that stick tho

[–] I_Clean_Here@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Huh? It is right there in the post.

[–] player2@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks, I only noticed the link to the original post.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Someone made it! I put a link to the Best Of Lemmy community in the body of the post.

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Unfortunately, it's a link via lemmy.ca, taking us (technically) off-site...

Um, what's the etiquette around sending unsolicited stick pics?

[–] at_an_angle@lemmy.one 25 points 1 year ago

Unsolicited stick pics to the bros are always welcomed.

To the girls, get consent.

[–] Anka@feddit.de 18 points 1 year ago (4 children)

As a girl.. I am truly confused by this stick trend.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ever found a really nice rock? It's like that.

Petrified Wood is so cool that the Petrified Forest curses anyone who dares to take any of their stone cold sticks.

[–] KrokanteBamischijf@feddit.nl 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's not quite a trend, it's a hidden lifestyle aspect of men in general.

Men have never quite felt the need to explain because it has never been brought up in this capacity before. But there's a whole stick-centric world out there you can get lost in, if you just keep an open mind.

[–] tpihkal@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Tame it down bro. Stop talking to girls about the sticks BRO! IT'S A BRO THING BRO!!

[–] Anka@feddit.de 1 points 1 year ago

You actually make IT sound interesting, I will keep my eyes open from now on.

[–] t_berium@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Have you seen the stick?

[–] Grass@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

It's our instinct as modern cavemen

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago

For once I actually get one of these threads, hurray!

[–] lanolinoil@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

That is a sweet stick though

[–] MataVatnik@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That is beautiful. If i humbly may share some pictures and my stick story, though not as poetic:

Third pic is me with a walking stick I made out of peppermint wood. In the background is Martha, she passed away last year she was a rescue owl who fostered 30 baby owls into independence. First and second Pic are another walking stick made out of random piece of maple my friend found, if you look on the top I carved out Martha.

I think this one takes the cake for me. This is amazing! What an awesome tribute to Martha.

Not sure if I did the ping in the post body right, so @JPSound@lemmy.world

[–] zardoz@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Was it a really neat stick??

[–] zaphod@feddit.de 15 points 1 year ago

The best stick.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The pic in the meme is the one that they shared with Lemmy after people in the thread like the story. Lol

There's a link to the thread above if you're interested.

[–] Very_Bad_Janet@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

I have to admit that's a nice stick. I thought he was joking but it's actually perfect. Like, platonic ideal of a stick.

[–] Cruxifux@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Men love sticks. Ladies, you’ll never understand.

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Be right back, going to get my mighty stick from my closet

[–] howsetheraven@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The original thread link just breaks Connect for me.

Does it work better like this? I can never remember.

Am I right to suspect those links to be Rickrolls or something like that?

[–] Iron_Lynx@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I checked. Looks like one of them is legitimately sticks.

[–] MetaCubed@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Oh ffs you made me check
