Have you ever used a selfie stick? Would you use a selfie stick? Selfie sticks are becoming really popular, so much they have been banned at Disneyworlds across the planet.

I mean, they might be a bit pointless, but you can take hella selfies with them.

Am I the only one who wishes that selfies will one day go the way of the dinosaur?

Yes. This is the first time anyone has ever had a negative opinion on selfies. What a maverick.

I'm well aware that I'm not the first to have a negative opinion on selfies. I'm just wondering how many other people on the BBS share that opinion, so I wrote "Am I the only one who wishes that selfies will one day go the way of the dinosaur?" as a form of luring like-minded people to me.

I don't even use a phone or a camera.
Selfie sticks are for the self absorbed too.

When I want to take a pic of myself I ask someone to do it. Oh wait, people are bastards now, might steal my expensive smartphone. Kids aren't the only thing that's messed up now.

This ... exists?

Also what is a selfie stick?

I just stick with my good old-fashioned sticks. You know, the kind you pick up off the ground that fall off trees. Stick sticks. They're good for poking things with or smacking stuff with although sometimes they break, particularly if they have termites or if you didn't select a big enough stick.

Are old-fashioned sticks effective when used against selfie sticks? Can .. can I whack a selfie stick using a regular good 'ol sticky stick from a regular good 'ol tree?

The idea for the Selfie Stick was patented way back in 1985.

The Selfie Blow-up of the 2010's probably got them to sell more. Makes you wonder if the selfie phenomenon was a commercial tactic to sell more telescopic extenders, doesn't it?

Maybe. Maybe not.

It's turned into quite the annoying phenomenon, that's for sure.

How short are we talking? ... Like, hand is directly attached to shoulder?

What's weird though is when someone's arm is as big as a leg. Fat legs? Okay. Fat arms that are so fat they're the size of legs? That's .. weird. It's only really seen in the incredibly obese.

I'm just short in general, and it's genetic because my mum is short too even though I'm taller than her. But my arms definitely aren't fatter than my legs, I have pretty small arms even though I'm kinda chubby. If I was a professional boxer I'd need to have really good footwork 'cause of my short arms

My phone has a 3 megapixel camera that I've literally never used since I got it like 2 years ago.

Also, is that new Samsung phone waterproof, shockproof, dustproof and can be dropped repeatedly on a concrete floor without suffering damage? My phone can.

That cell phone looks like it's from 2004.

Its only been in production for about 4 or 5 years. It doesn't bother me that it looks old. It does what a phone needs to do: send and receive phone calls/SMS, and it does it very well. On top of that, it's MIL-STD 810G compliant, which means it's basically indestructible and is therefore vastly superior to most (if not all) smartphones.
