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.

Edit: *where I live

You can't bring anything that could carry non-native lifeforms on it, to preserve Antarctica's unique Flora and Fauna from invasive species.

What, not even our nice Norwegian ~shape-shifting assimilating microbes~dogs?

EDIT: I am sad lemmy doesn't appear to support strikethrough.

Doesn't work for me? Vivaldi (Chrome-based browser, desktop) using old.lemmy.ca

Oh... ha, I browse using the 'mlmym.org' theme. Using www.lemmy.ca I see it works. Must be a bug in the theme. I'll see who I can report to, for a fix. Thanks.

Explain these 'dogs' please

Wouldn't anything that didn't evolve to deal with Antarctica's brutal climate just immediately die?

Life will...uhh... find a way.

With the number of species that live on a stick, you could get unlucky and transport one which would randomly happen to have traits good for thriving in Antartica.

I agree, but don’t humans carry the even more microbial live than sticks? And what about birds and seals? I am guessing there is quite a lot of exchange of microbes between Antarctica and the other continents.

Yea, you're right, and I don't have any counter point. I don't know what the experts think about this.
