While you wait, ChatGPT v4 says:
βIn more casual or colloquial usage, when someone refers to βa stick,β they might be picturing something roughly the size of a small branch they could pick up off the groundβpotentially anywhere from 30 cm to 2 meters (about 1 to 6.5 feet) long, depending on the situation and whatβs available.β
@Kurtroedeger @amarand @kel at what point does a stick become a log?
Thatβs relative to the size of the creature wielding it. Human? Probably beyond grasping size with one hand?
It's log!
Didnβt even press play. Still stuck in my head. Damnit! πͺ΅πΉ
@kel and now I'll be singing stupid Ren , Stimpy songs all day. Thaaaanks Kel.
@amarand @Beanc @kel
I'd say branch is the transitional stage between log and stick. A small branch could be a stick, and a large branch could be a log (if fallen on the ground, still a branch if in the air). And there is a stage where a branch is neither a log or a stick but just between the two of them. Primarily, a log would be the trunk of a tree that has fallen or been felled. So you could have a branch that's a branch and bigger than a log that's just a log.

*I'm not sure if that reads like a huge compliment or a terrible insult. Please assume the former.

Also, six and a half feet is an unreasonably long βstickβ in that casual sense of βI just picked up a stick and brandished it like a sword.β
