Although I must admit that Professor Chad is unfortunately a tenured professor here at Shadiversity, what he has said about me is blatant slander and his views do NOT represent any official position of Shadiversity. He is a sexist bigot that we have been trying to fire for years. I condemn, denounce, and do NOT endorse anything he says, especially about individuals, but he might have a point about sticks.

My grandfather, a WWII, Korea and Vietnam vet, used to say two militaries fighting the winner usually has the pointiest sticks or he can wield tree trunks. Tree trunks are, after all, just giant sticks. With a degree in History I am sure you covered Vietnam, and if you talk to many of that wars Veterans ther scariest weapons in the jungle were punji pits, sharp sticks in a pit, and various bamboo booby traps that metal detectors could find

While the Shadcademic community acknowledges the importance of the stick, we must not forget the impact of the balls upon the effectiveness of all sticks. Indeed this video mentions the balls in the form of rocks, mace heads and round firearm projectiles, however it fails to pay its due respect to the balls. For the balls work stick in hand with the stick. From the most miniscule form of balls, like atoms, particles and dictator testicles (If we are to prove the existence of such a thing in the future), to the largest balls of the universe like the stars, nebulas, black holes, or indeed galaxies. From the beginning the balls followed the stick, as we all know. The big bang was a giant exploding ball and its shape is imprinted within the shape of our space to this day. In fact the gravity itself naturally forms balls. What would be a mace without a ball at the end of a stick and indeed the synergy of the stick and the balls is apparent in the flail. Whilst the separation of a stick by a flimsy cord leads to nothing but the disgrace of the mighty stick, ending a cord with a sizeable ball, or indeed a multitude of balls, leads to the creation of a far superior weapon than the abomination given as an example previously. The balls also have a huge impact on the future developments of stick and humankind, from the refining of rocks (balls) into metal, by beating it out of the rocks with a stick, which then allow us to make metal sticks, to the core of all things. It is self evident that all cores are balls, indeed from the first cells to the cores of nuclear reactors and the warheads in nuclear missiles, these massive balls always followed in two with the mighty stick. Let us not forget that just like all long hard and stiff things are sticks, so are all essentially round things just variations of balls. Thus the balls and the stick are inseparable transcendental concepts, which enhance each other whenever they manage to collide and form new things. Let us not forget that light spreads in all directions, therefore all radiation takes on the shape of balls and thus enlightenment and knowledge itself is inevitably tied to balls as well as the stick in the form of a quill or a pen. I hope that the importance of the balls will not be left in the shadows (which can be round) and Shadiversity will properly enlighten us on the relations between the stick and the balls.

[@DonceGT]

*expanding big bang was a giant expansion of space and time, so it was a giant expanding ball

[@trishalilly2924]

Sir You have raised a notable point about the prevalence of balls, however I do not believe the professor will agree. Balls and sticks are polar opposites in modern politics for what are woman if not men with two extra balls. I indeed many modern men believe that these people are my mightier than the stick welding people's. This sometimes leads to people who have both the stick and balls and who are we but mere peasants if we do not worship said individuals, even if some of these people have left such power currupt them. All hail the the might of the ball and stick.

[@apocalypticdream2258]

I know I'd definitely tune in for a lesson about balls and even a separate lesson on sticks and balls! Because let's not forget architecture, and what is a dome? If not, a glorious, mathematical, and structural symphony of sticks and balls? What about the advantage of curvature inspired by various types of balls, and the defense of that curve when applied to a flattened ball... say a metal disk? For what is a circle? If not a flattened ball. It sounds like a series to me

It turns out that my Nunchacar didn't work very well. As I looked closer there was a long spinning "drive" stick that connected the two halves that I seem to have damaged in the process. Thanks to Professor Chad I now understand that the truth is not in cutting useful things in half but rather we must embrace the stick!

This was enlightening. Among other realisations I can now see the fundamental shortcoming of contemporary real-time 3d graphics. For there are rendering engines that model a world build from triangles, and there are rendering engines that model a world build from cubes, but the fundamental component of any realistic simulation should be sticks. And not only in rigging for character animations. We will have simulations that are indistinguishable from reality once we have a mathematical model of the physics and the optics of sticks and someone writes a game engine that fundamentally implements nothing but those two things. Have you noticed that there is no general stick emoji. There are many stick emoji, yes, 🏑🍡🍭🍢🕹️✏️🪡🗡️🚀🕯️🔋⛳ But there is none that represents the general concept of a stick. Why? Because it is so fundamental that it is impossible to represent it without representing anything more specific. The most basic characters that represent sticks («I», «1», «-») all have specific meanings assigned to them.

When you think about it the pen writes on paper, and what is paper if not an unrolled stick? So the pen is mightier than the sword but only because the pen is a combination of two sticks that are not tied together with a short bit of rope.

[@notsam9528]

I know it's supposed to be ironic but it's kind of true. The two fundamental shapes in geometry is the line and the circumference. Any other can be reduced to a combination of these two. That essentially means our structure of reality is made of sticks and balls.

I never realized how much sticks have contributed to mankind. Fore shoes were only invented so mankind could walk on the sacred stick with out injury. The entire safety industry was conceived to protect us from sticks, whether it be small splinter sticks that man gets in our finger tips or larger more dangerous sticks you have mentioned. Sticks must and will stick around.

We literally used it to find traps, hidden doors, to fight, and it saved our frickin lives. And at the end i said to our dm that this stick would become of legend, the legendary mighty and holy stick of horrors, the one item that will bless the souls who wield it with enough power to kill even the most powerful and reality bending individuals.

11:50 "All of human history has been recorded by the mighty stick", this claim has many truths on it. When mankind first started to invent writting they started by using sticks to draw on the ground/sand. When humans started carving their words and monuments in rocks they did so using sharp sticks. Later, when papyrus and paper started being, the writting was done using long and thing sticks. Human history started with the use of sticks as tools and weapons.
