Well, we sit on the ground and dig holes with a stick. I mean… that’s what men supposed to do…
Sticks are unbelievable
I mean if the kids like it why not? I would much rather that than beg the parents for some Vbucks to have some half assed virtual stick
After reading all these comments stick doesn’t seem like a word anymore.

My first experience with it was when I made up a little lawn mowing business to fund an electric guitar in high school. After a couple hours of mowing, I’d find myself repeating
graaassss. grasssssss… What a weird noise
“Jamais vu” is another term for it.
Stick stick sticksticksticksticksticks ticks…
Is it?
Wikipedia says:Jamais vu is often described as the opposite of déjà vu
which is quite different.
Effectively it’s a more general version of it. Not specific to words and not specific to the why we feel this way. You’re right it’s not the same thing. But I meant that it’s another way to name the effect you’re experiencing.
Saved this post because I know I’ll want to refer to this later… holy shit
Primal instincts taking over. Sticks are good for a lot of things. Fire, spear, walking, poking things out of trees, throwing at the dog… sticks are good.
Canadian with a stick … I need to use this while wearing metal blades on my feet and full armour with a bunch of my friends while we fight another group of guys with sticks and metal blades under their feet.
… oh guyf I found a toof! Whov if it?
Throwing for the dog.
Fyi, I would advise against this. An alarming number of dogs get hurt by it. They chase after it, and try and grab it. If the angle is just right(wrong?) the stick can impale their mouth. It requires surgery to fix.
Those dogs were defective to begin with. It’s unfortunate, but inevitable.
You can’t fix a stupid dog problem. My old dog once ran full speed into a pane of glass because they saw another dog on the other side.
Like how am I supposed to anticipate shit like that when the self destruction can unfold instantaneously?
Semantics
Depends on what the dog doin’
Dog don’t care.
Better yet, collect a bunch of sticks and convince them to throw the dog.
There is just something about holding a sturdy, thick, length of wood that really makes you feel like a man.
I am a stick.
But you could be fire

I found two good sticks last week walking the dogs. We all agreed we need to take them home.
This reminds me, I have to go find a good stick.
Subbed!
Snap!
Love for sticks is hardwired deep in our brain. What’s the first thing a toddler does outside? Find a stick and swing it around. Dig with it. Hit stuff with it. Invent games with it. Build with it. Sticks are fundamental to human behavior and civilization.
Not just humans too. Most primates love playing with/using sticks.
Yes, a simple and useful tool.
“Who would win in a fight? An army guy or a stick?”
“That’s stupid. The army guy would just break the stick in half.”
“Ah, but now there are two sticks. Stick win every time.”

Also I’m approaching 40 years old. I still keep every great stick I find. Some find their way into the fire pit. Others are still used as walking sticks and fire pokers. Some shaved down nice and smooth. Others still with their bark.
My frontyard maples gave me a great staff two years ago? If I were a wizard that’d be a huge gift. No treesinging needed.
My kid once had me drive 9km so she could get a stick (tree branches twice as big as her) she found at school.
That was in June. It’s October now. We still have the stick.
No one breaks or burns it. It’s the stick after all.
Not just a boy thing :)
Came here to say this. OP must have had a sad childhood indeed, not to understand the allure and utility of a good stick.
