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
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.
When humanity has to move to the poles to survive, I’d rather have trees than not.
Coastal Norway is also pretty warm in this sense, but there aren’t any trees far north. I suspect there’s more than just warmth they want
Don’t worry. At this rate, the ice will be gone soon and… oh
So i did a little research. The sad/fun part about my realization is… if you go back far enough in time, before the ice and nothingness, archeologists have pointed out that Antarctica was once a massive forest continent.
Millions of years ago, it had trees, and thus, sticks for days and days.
Once again we are living in the wrong time. Too late to explore all continents having sticks. But also too early to live where all continents have sticks. In the grand scheme of things, we exist in the uneven ground.
It’s a sad equilibrium to be sure.
Not all that well-known, but Australia claims about 42% of Antarctica as part of it’s territory.
Australia can go fuck itself
