Found this post on IG and I’m wondering what this community’s stance is. With winter now officially here*, I think it’s a valid question.

Edit: *where I live

    I now need to know whether there is flotsam in Antarctica

      I just learned that flotsam (and jetsam and lagan) are specific terms with specific meanings.

      IDK if sticks that fall out of trees really belong to any, I think maybe that would just be floating debris.

      Something man made has to be either flotsam (from a sunken wreck) or jetsam (intentionally discarded) but a stick that fell from a tree is neither of those.
