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

[–] [email protected] 17 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Huh? It is right there in the post.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 10 months ago

Unsolicited stick pics to the bros are always welcomed.

To the girls, get consent.

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

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.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Have you seen the stick?

[–] Grass 1 points 10 months ago

It's our instinct as modern cavemen

[–] [email protected] 16 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

That is a sweet stick though

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago

Not sure if I did the ping in the post body right, so @[email protected]

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Was it a really neat stick??

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago

The best stick.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 10 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months 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.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The original thread link just breaks Connect for me.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago

Oh ffs you made me check
