When the dog came up, I was expecting it to go “and the dog agreed it was a good stick”

[–] [email protected] 49 points 11 months ago

Why do you think the dog was complicit with the distraction tactic

[–] [email protected] 83 points 11 months ago

If your husband and son both agree it's a nice stick, I gotta side with them on this one.

[–] [email protected] 72 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Now the question is...

Is it a sword stick, a gun stick, or a magic staff stick?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Asking the real questions!!!

I can't believe the post didn't include a picture of the stick. I think I speak for every guy in this thread, I want to see the stick so I can judge how good of a stick it was for myself.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Agreed.

Sticks or it didn't happen, OP.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 11 months ago

There is a very nice stick near the door that my son found. It’s a good stick.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 11 months ago

Sticks are a dime a dozen, not of interest to anyone. A nice stick, now that's something special. You take that baby home.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 11 months ago

It's the legendary sword!

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Sticks can be quite useful, sure. Especially a bundle of them.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I'm a bit of a bundle of sticks myself

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So a fa..... Nope, just... nope.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago (2 children)

We need one more letter to know which one you mean

I wouldn’t be suprised if recognizing a strong practical stick is ingrained in our evolved mind.

Not a boy or man, and I have a REALLY good stick I found in middle school, 26 years ago. And some other pretty good sticks to. Everyone loves a good stick

Least sexist Reddit... wait

It's the primal lizard brain seeing it as a good weapon for defense or hunting. Put a sharpened rock on the end of the stick and now it's a spear!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Put 2 stones on it and it becomes a sword

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

Daughter has collected sticks since she could walk. They are all special and unique and can't possibly be disposed of.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 11 months ago

Dude, I don’t understand how a guy could not appreciate a nice stick.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

The first tool.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

This is me on any hike.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

These boys will be boys memes are the dumbest things around. I wish they'd die off.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Sounds like someone doesn't like sticks

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

They just don't get it.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

I found a good stick and put it in my shed. Later my wife found it and agreed that it was a good stick.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Sticks are great, that's why I hate these boys will be boys memes. It's pointlessly gendered

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Sticks can be fun for lots of reasons. If your son likes that stick, just let him have it imo.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

it's likely our wrists evolved to bend side-to-side because our ancestors fucking loved swinging sticks around so much.

If you want to understand the personality of your son, hand him a stick and then watch what his imagination transforms it into

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

STICKS

Quick, check the genitals for an explanation!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago (2 children)

I kiss my stick, it's my stick, you can't pick up my stick, keep your mitts off my stick.
