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
Bread sticks
Stick of butter
Stick of dynamite
Carrot sticks
Stick shiftI feel like there’s enough precedent to allow the Ice stick, given the circumstances
Disagree. In each of the cases you’ve cited the term “stick” describes the form of the subject, and no better term exists.
If small shafts of carrot were commonly called carroticles, then you couldn’t call one a carrot stick.
Clearly the object pictured in this post is an icicle. It is not an ice stick.
You can melt and solidify metal but that is considered a rod, not a stick
You can melt and solidify water
That is a rod of ice
It is an ice sculpture of a stick.
We grant you the rank of honorary stick.
“This is acceptable! This is fair!”
Local variants of sticks are acceptable.
Nope. Ignore the pandering milquetoasts.
A stick is a stick. This is not one. Do we have no standards?
What are you, some kind of stick adjudicator?
I’m a stickler for correctness.
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.
This is why there are 12 types of Christianity. No it’s not a stick and I will crusade against anybody who claims it is.
This is likely an extremely powerful weapon that can only be used once before it breaks so save it for the last boss.
Fuck, I beat the last boss and I forgot this was in my inventory…
