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.

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.

That's an icicle, sticks are wooden. I like his spirit though, that icicle has stick vibes.

I'd say an icicle defines as a stick. A stick does not need to be wooden (like a stick of dynamite).

I guess it depends on how much of a stickler you are.

the “stick of dynamite” argument really gums up the works here. i reckon it’s under the larger stick-umbrella, but still doesn’t meet the criteria of JUST “a stick”. think like, a capital-S-stick in the same way christians refer to capital-G-god.

an icicle is the “other minor deity” of sticks.

Yes, it's a stick of ice.
