God damn that's a nice stick.
I wonder what caused the perfectly circular hole. That's pretty interesting

>>714834024
I fucked it into existence one night.
I apologize.

I wish I had that stick bros

the hole is so perfect that the whole thing seems artificial
but i want to believe
in the cool stick

There's something primal within that awakens when a man finds a nice stick like that.

>>714833110 (OP)
That is an amazing stick.

>>714834024
I can't talk about those holes

>>714834127
Don't apologize you did good. Please do it more often so I can find one

That IS a really cool stick.

that was my first thought too, unfortunately i am old and can no longer just believe

>>714833110 (OP)
what the fuck thats a cool stick

I still cant believe like chronicles

>>714834189
Watching my son freak out when he finds a nice stick is wonderful.
I've been jealous at times. I won't lie.

I would seriously take that stick home and hang it on a wall

>>714834024
>>714834127
I assume there was already an uneven hole that was caught on some other object, and as the tide came and went it sanded down the opening until it was symmetrical. Would also break off any extending pieces from the edges

as an adult you can buy and own a real functional sharp quality longsword for like $300 - $400 bucks depending on what you want, a nice real actual battle ready sword is cheaper than a Steamdeck

>>714834769
It's ok to be jealous about other men's sticks

>>714834614
considering the beach and the overall twisted shape, the stick does seem like driftwood, but
>uneven hole
>some other object
is so just so vague
i literally can't imagine what kind of thing could tear a hold in a piece of wood and not just break it in half
BY SHEER CHANCE WHILE THE WOOD WAS TOSSED AROUND BY WIND AND WAVE

>>714834840
Of course a person can make an actual weapon, but there's something satisfying about finding a cool item that was forged by nature.

>>714834854
maybe it had a knot, the wood around the knot rotted away leaving the plug of the knot to fall out, leaving a depression that was preferentially worn until it formed a full hole.

>>714834846
>>714834826
Saaar

>>714834854
I was thinking it was hooked around some other stick and remained that way for a few tide cycles. Doesn't take years for driftwood to break down, just a couple weeks. And then when whatever it was stuck on broke away, it was freed to float off to wherever it was found

>>714834895
Exactly. It also appeals to that childish imagination and glee.

The hole is from a branch root, same thing that causes knot holes in lumber

If you've never had sword fights using sticks found naturally with your mates whether as a boy or man today, you don't know shit about being a man.

>>714833110 (OP)
For me, it's rocks

>>714835290
I would even guess that about half of girls do this with other kids at a young enough age. Cool sticks (and fighting with them) are a unifying human experience across all cultures

>>714834614
With its proximity to the beach one hazards a guess that it may have been a piece of driftwood which had a knot/transverse branch and separated along the grain, leaving a hole in the stick where that knot was.
Basically this>>714834952
but it doesn't even need to be worn that much, knots can just do that

>>714834024
I assume it was a knot in the wood that fell out.
>>714834840
men actually enjoying life is shamed, so you have to make do with a stick
also you will enjoy the stick more because it's in the moment and sparks the imagination, what will you do with an actual sword?

I am a genius, and I can see into the past and future when I gaze upon an object. It is not because I have some supernatural power to see beyond time, but because when I perceive an object I immediately analyze its properties and deduce the most likely means it came to be, and its probable fate. I am accurate several standard deviations beyond statistical significance in my assessments of these matters.

This piece of driftwood came from a tree with a knot in its trunk, resulting from a branch that once grew there. The tree was felled by a storm and washed into the ocean, where natural decomposition and the endless crashing of waves wore the bark and other layers away, until this stick remained. Because the wood is stronger long the grain, the center of the knot separated, leaving the circular contour and remaining segments of the trunk you see here. It then washed ashore to be found by this man. There is a 95% chance that this stick was taken home by this man and is mounted on his wall at this time, however there is a 65% chance it has since been broken when it was used to strike a friend or relative in an act of most likely drunken horseplay.

Now, the mystery has been solved. I shall take my leave, for the presence of beings such as yourself is immensely painful for me, even in a virtual environment.

I took HEMA longsword classes so I have people to spar with and have real sword fights, its a lot of fun. It sparks you imagination a lot more than a stick. I learned a bunch of the flashy spinny moves Geralt does in Witcher 3 and its really fun to just be able to do that.

>>714835868
My best friend growing up was almost an Olympic fencer. One summer we found a huge wasp nest in my back yard and he insisted he had it under control. He took a long thin stick and fucking batted each individual wasp out of the air like Mr Miagi it was one of the craziest things I've ever seen in my life.

>>714835752
Gentlemen.

We need to take the stick from this degenerate.

>>714836596
Competitive fencing is for sure the fastest of the HEMA sports. An average engagement lasts .4 seconds or something. It's entirely about making the right initial decision and following through, lots of the time it's just a coinflip of who is faster.
I know most hema is fast after engagement. I can't think of any weapons that encourage retreating and taking a second attack instead of committing on the first, it's more about feigning before initial contact. At least that's how it looks as someone with very minimal experience.
Maybe if you bring shields in its different, or if it's a friendly spar and not "competitive" where you are just going for a win

such delights are beyond the comprehension of mere foids

One time I was visiting Vancouver Island and was on the west shore facing the ocean. There had been a storm the night before, and there were hundreds of these massive pink jellyfish littered across the rocky beach.
I remember slapping them on top of the mantle and it was as satisfying as slapping perfect jello. Most of the jellies were under a foot but there were many that were over 2.5 feet in diameter. Crazy shit.
I cut one open with a stick and all the seawater poured out and it deflated. Never seen a jellyfish so big even in aquariums. bizarre creature.

If he tries sanding and polishing that piece of shit it will just crumble to dust.

>>714842623
What does that have to do with taking cool stick back home? Is it socially wrong and you should be ashamed doing things that are "reddit"?
Also what's wrong with speedrunning? I played Doom with dad when I was a kid and we compared which one of us could beat some of the stages faster occasionally because it was fun(my dad almost always won).

>>714834741

>>714845220
That was when I was a kid baaaaka. I was like 5.
These days I would beat his times no prob.
People seem to ridicule them more for taking the stick home. I think it's cool and would take that one home if I found a cool one like that. Would make a nice reference too.
And if that person speedruns XBC games, that's even bigger reason to keep it. Man, if I found a stick or rock reminding me of something from a game or anime I like I would shamelessly take it back home, no matter how "reddit" that would be considered by /v/.

She was bit "tomboy"ish, but became more girly after she got bullied and made fun by men, even online by nerdy guys.
Many such cases, don't really blame many tomboy gals going trans to find at least some place to fit in and be accepted. Straight guys rarely wants assertive women in their life as that is seen emasculating by other men. "Gotta keep your woman in line" etc.
Knew one tomboyish gal who made her bf work out instead of sitting inside all day, he was made fun of by his online friends that he was a doormat and waiting to get cucked, and in the end tried to put his woman in her place. Emphasis on try, but that relationship ended quickly. Now she's lesbian if I remember right. Haven't talked with her in a while because she doesn't really like men that much anymore.

Nah. Many guys say that but insecurity kicks in, especially when you tell other guys that woman is ordering you around and leading your life. You will get called a beta and cuck.
You know those femdom hentai/doujin/smut where the girl starts by doing femdom before the guy turns tables and makes the girl a total slut? It's like that for many guys. Woman is allowed to do some naughty dom things but a guy should always be in charge. Otherwise man loses his masculinity and is barely a man in the eyes of other men. Basically you fall outside of men's circles and your reputation tanks.
That's why guys only fantasize about tomboy girls, but never wants actual IRL one. Same as with dommy mommy or such. Your masculinity and reputation goes above any hobby, fetish, career, or skill. You can be the biggest loser white trash who makes no money and has no skills, but as long as you don't let women order you around you get respect from other men.

>>714855485
>woman is ordering you around and leading your life
A woman that wants you to be the best you can be is a keeper, end of story, you should want to be the best you can be for her. Anybody calling you a cuck for that is just trying to sabotage the relationship.

>>714852559
>Now she's lesbian if I remember right. Haven't talked with her in a while because she doesn't really like men that much anymore.
Why do they hate men after just the one or two guys? They weren't compatible, simple as. Writing off all men like that is insane.

After that all women are le demons and overly emotional and evil and whores but always gives to chads. /v/ is full of that kind of guys. Not to talk about /pol/ or fucking /r9k/. Guys fapping to women getting beat or raped.

I'd argue the whole universal stick circlejerk is fundamentally hardcoded in men. It's an efficient tool for an adult human male to hunt and kill prey.

Its cool for sure, but my stick is bigger and thicker. Well, its more like a slab of branch than a stick...
My friend 25 years ago climbed up the tree and broke it off for me. It was sticking out all alone, unleafed and differently colored.
It my youth it was a sword unrivalled. It broke every other blade upon its bough. Now its a hiking cane.

It is not because I have some supernatural power to see beyond time, but because when I perceive an object I immediately analyze its properties and deduce the most likely means it came to be, and its probable fate. I am accurate several standard deviations beyond statistical significance in my assessments of these matters.
can you do this with humans

Woefully underrated and accurate post. The stick MUST remain where it was found.

I'm a simple person, and I can't see into the past or future when I see an object. It is not because I'm dumb or dimwitted, but because I am a normal person, however I can deduce what could've have happened it. I've many possible theories to tell you.

This stick came from a tree. It fell from a storm into the ocean, I suppose. There must have been some knot in the wood from where that stick came from, leaving that hole in there. It then was driven to the shore where that man found it. I think that manchild has probably mounted that stick on his wall or broken it. Whatever it happened, it was probably stupid either way.

Now that I've answered your question, I shall remain for the presence of beings such as yourself is immensely enjoyable for me, especially in a virtual environment

if he didn't get the wood treated it's going to break apart in a few months.

>you got scammed
bro you think he think learning real fighting? The point of HEMA is to have fun play acting sword fights with actual metallic weapons. It's not a real competition.

Its hardwired into our brains to look for good pieces of wood to make tools with, or burn them to keep ourselves warm and fed. You may be a generation or two out of practice, but your instincts kick in when you see good lumber and it hits you with an unexpected, primal dopamine reward - you "found something worth taking back to camp"

I'm curious where this pic is from
I've been to some shitholes, and if that shit happened there they'd go back to the store and raise hell.
This kind of shit can only happen in a place "civilized" enough that people won't break shit in the store out of anger, but also lawless enough that this sort of shit isn't literally a crime.

might just be a mistranslation but I don't think one can really say sticks are an invention
