Well, does it?

Found this post on IG and I’m wondering what this community’s stance is. With winter now officially here*, I think it’s a valid question.

Edit: *where I live

We grant you the rank of honorary stick.

“This is acceptable! This is fair!”

Can you poke someone in the butt with it?? Fuck yeah you can.

I just realized there is an entire continent where there are no trees, and thus no sticks.

And it isnt a small continent either. it is larger than all of Europe and also larger than Australia. We arent talking about an island or archipelago or even some random landlocked desert. It is a continent.

the fact that there are no sticks that naturally occur there at all… it confuses and concerns me.

This is deeply unsettling to me.

Don’t worry, flowers are starting to bloom more and more on Antarctica.

Soon, trees will start to grow so even that continent has sticks!

Wait … that is even a bigger concern to worry.

When humanity has to move to the poles to survive, I’d rather have trees and not.

Before it slipped down to the bottom of the world, it used to be covered in jungles.

It makes sense why there are no sticks. But I agree, the thought of a lack of sticks seems to be unsettling, not a lack of trees or bushes.

Are we that naturally attracted to sticks because of primate evolution? I wonder if the earliest human ancestors developed this awareness of sticks as it is a primitive tool used to survive.

It’s hell for doggos.

So what did doggos do to make their hell freeze over?

also larger than Australia

Not all that well-known, but Australia claims about 42% of Antarctica as part of it’s territory.

Maybe but usually when people talk about Australia in this context they mean the continent, not the country.

Claims vs. recognized.

Don’t worry. At this rate, the ice will be gone soon and… oh

So i did a little research. The sad/fun part about my realization is… if you go back far enough in time, before the ice and nothingness, archeologists have pointed out that Antarctica was once a massive forest continent.

Millions of years ago, it had trees, and thus, sticks for days and days.

Once again we are living in the wrong time. Too late to explore all continents having sticks. But also too early to live where all continents have sticks. In the grand scheme of things, we exist in the uneven ground.

It’s a sad equilibrium to be sure.

There’s also stuff we’re pretty sure first evolved there. Because it used to connect south America to Australia

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.
