DIWhy of the Day: People are Making Their Own Selfie Sticks Out of Common Household Ingredients

You know how it is. You're sitting around with your bros or your gal pals and have the immense need to take a group selfie.

No one has a long enough arm to capture everyone.

And there's no one around who can take it for you.

And all you have is a bunch of Slim Jims.
