ELI5: Why do frozen things stick to wet things, such as my tongue to a frozen pole, or my wet fingers to a ice cube.

Because the frozen thing is cold enough that it freezes some of the moisture on your tongue/finger. That newly frozen ice forms around the texture on your tongue/finger and basically grips it. So if you want to pull away, you need to either pull the ice apart, or pull the ice away from your tongue/finger. And it can take a decent amount of force to do that.
