The concept referred to as "civilization" clearly peaked in the 70s...

I think they are just coming to the US. I saw a ton of international tourists with them in Las Vegas. First time I ever saw one. Most people were using them to take pics of themselves and their partner, with something in the background.

I thought the Fleshlight was a selfie stick. Am I wrong?

I bought one for my wife for this very reason. We take family selfies when we are out and about. It got too hard to fit a family of 4 in a picture just with my out stretch arm. I swear I'm not a ****** bag!

The term "selfie" just sounds dirty to me. "Hey, where's Frank?"
"He's in the bathroom, having a 'selfie'." (read: "spanking the monkey").
"Selfie stick" sounds like a sex toy.
Regards, GF.

I think you have the concept right, but the design backwards. A selfie "Stick" it would not be.
Maybe a selfie "Pocket"??
Selfie "sticks" have been around since the dawn of time. Pretty much as soon as a tree branch or rock could be carved into the appropriate shape.
Seriously, I think the actual selfie stick is a good idea. There are many people who would like to take pictures of themselves with or without other people in the picture who can't rely on handing a phone to a stranger, if there is even a stranger nearby to lend them a hand.

Mechanically it may function in a pocket-like fashion, but it definitely looks stick-like. Maybe not The Rabbit stick-like, but nonetheless...

Selfie sticks have a mostly unknown second benifit.
When you approach said self indulged hipster mid use, you can show them the appropriate use of the object. they just happen to be long enough the hipster can remove it from their arse once you are gone.

These items should be re-named Narcissticks.

That's what that thing is for? ... taking selfies??
Shucks ... I got one as a gift and assumed it was for my golf bag. I've been using it when I put one in the water hazard.

What happened to just asking a stranger to take a single picture of you and the family when you were out?
They were terrible, but it gave you a chance to reflect on the trip and laugh about the guy that took the photo.

My apologies. I've only ever heard of them. I've never actually SHOPPED for one...

I was watching this guy on YouTube last night. He took a ten minute selfie video of himself just like, walking around his basement talking ****. He drank some beer and stuff and it was pretty cool, but I can't help think a narccistick would have improved the video quality.

True story....
I was golfing this summer and in the pro-shop they had this weird thing that looked like a selfie stick. I told my friend I was golfing with that it clearly wouldn't fit any phone.
Yes. I was made fun of.
in light of new evidence, I retract my previous statement. in fact, if you don't own one in the next 3 weeks, every Narcisstick owner gets to beat any and all non-Narcisstick owner with said Narcissticks.

My selfie stick has an applause track that automatically plays when extended.

In Alaska people heading into the back country are being encouraged to shoot a selfie (I find the word loathsome for some reason), to show their clothing and equipment, snow machines, etc, as well as posting a trip plan. The idea is that knowing these kinds of details might be valuable when searching for a missing person.
