minus-square@Revan343@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish1•8 months agoInteresting; here in Alberta a buggy whip is a flexible (fibreglass, at least mine is) flagpole for the back of your truck.

So a thin flexible pole would make sense. Like when you’d whack your little brother with a long bendy stick when you were kids.
