First it must become a branch, then work its way up to being a limb, and through perseverence and bravery, it may one day be a trunk. Trunks make great logs.

YES! It's not just stick>log. There's several steps between the two!

Limbs can also become logs.

When you can't wrap your hand fully around it, I'd say, is the boundary between a stick and a log.

I really like this definition!

At the point where you put down the reciprocating cutter and pick up the chainsaw.

If you can lift it with one hand, it's a stick. Possibly a staff if you'rewearing a pointy hat. A log requires at least two hands.

Gotta have those small logs, or split logs to get a good fire going

When the average person cannot lift it with one hand

Stick is a branch where as log is part of the trunk. Narrow trunk is called a sapling.

What about branches the size of trees?

Making these up.

Logs:

Take more than 1 hand to pick up
Burns for more than 30mins
Can cause concussion if thrown through the air.

Yours is a stick. Mine is a log.

You see, dicks

If it sticks around for long enough, it eventually gets logged

FellowEnt@sh.itjust.works · 6 pts · 145d

If you can stand on it and roll it with your feets, that's a log. Can't do that with a stick. Nobody ever heard of the stick rolling championships.

When you can no longer hold it!

When you remove a single grain of sand from a heap, and as a result, it is no longer a heap.

Some definitions have fuzzy edges. Actually most words are really fuzzy that way. Mathematical concepts are precise, but normal everyday words aren’t. Treat them accordingly.

When diameter > 100mm

What about cords, twigs, or timber? You can't jump straight from sticks to logs.

Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 146d (1 reply)

No cords. These trees are Bluetooth.
