Funny meme aside, there's usually no good reason to pick up each and every 2x4 in the store and close one eye to stare down it to judge how straight it is before buying.
It's wood. It bends. You attach it at both ends. If you attach it straight, it's gonna be straightly attached.
When you actually need a straight piece of wood for finer woodwork like making a guitar fretboard or similar, you make that piece of wood straight yourself by buying a large piece of wood directly from the sawmill and shaping it yourself.
I'm going to whole heartedly disagree. Does it need to be perfectly straight? No. Am I going to eyeball each one to make sure I don't spend half the project with prybars? Yes.
Also I'm deep in American Pacific Northwest timber country and the mills don't do business with individuals in my experience unless you're bringing your own trees.
And I'm not paying money to get the equipment to plane my own 2x10s nor am I going to be able to pressure treat my own lumber.
It's insane to me that the response to the decline in lumber quality is make your own lumber.
What are you building that requires perfectly straight wood?
It does not need to be straight, but I'm not in the sporting goods section looking for a hockey stick.
I think there is a middle ground
You don't want to make hockey stick from a bend piece of wood anyway. Those are made of carbon fibre, and if you want a one from wood it'd be better to use some kind of laminate glued to shape, otherwise it'd feel dead and probably break when used.
