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.

If you're into it there's a civilian science thing inaturalist. They have a dogshit app you can use on your phone to take geotagged photographs of anything/one living and your best ID guess. Giganerds then come along and fully ID it, useful to help learn stuff and you contribute to maps for biological diversity and conservation studies.

you can also search up observations which can be fun if you're trying to find a particular species.

It's cool stuff. I enjoy cataloguing all the papaver somniferum I come across since. Our government encouraged people to grow it around ww1 due to a morphine shortage and it's too funny that it's still everywhere in urban spaces. Looking out for it makes walking around more amusing, like "Oh there's that weed that if I pick I've just committed a giga crime".

I've heard of that app before! I may check it out and go exploring. Give those giganerds something to work on :D
