Shoelace foreskins.

Those are the ends of what are called shoelaces, friend.

Are you kidding me? Has usb D dropped already??

The Simpsons told me what an aglet is years ago.

The question is, do you know what this is?

food. given how much i chew on them

Yet another example of the US being under the thumb of big agletculture.

Aka if you don't watch phineas and ferb, you're not my friend

"The plastic tips at the end of shoe laces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister."

They're clearly words. Letters if you want to be more specific.

That's a pretty cool unrelated picture of aglets, though. Totally random lol

Do I get a pass if English is not my first language?

No, before now I did not know the name for it in my first language either.

Looks like Sandstorm by Darude

Really?! No one posted it?

Telomeres, right? Then why is nobody saying telomeres?

I don't know the name but I can tell you how sad they make me when they break and tear off and you have to use a lighter on the now extremely frayed end(s) of your shoelace for just a few seconds, and then pinch off the flame just lightly burning your fingies while molding the shoelace end into a cohesive black carcinogen.

Ah, but once you know of the aglets, do you know what you put the aglets through? Maybe you should be friends with people who don't know aglets but do know the word for the holes

I have no idea.

Aglet gang, rise up

I CAN LEARN

Shoelace boners.

5% increased movement speed

I don't remember, but I know for a fact that cats are their natural predators

I've spent hours looking for them so I could finally craft the Lightning boots.

They are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.

That's easy: they are the Tube nipples of the tube titties

Thingamabobs

I called them string snibbets when I was little

Ah, I have heard the name of those before.

Egrets, right?

Flugelbinder of course. Everyone who were alive in the 80s know this

I thought everyone called them shoelace condoms.

Floogelbinders

Cardaço

Whappers

Ferrule

I used to know what those were, but then I got zapped by a laser

Schlammer Jammers

Herrete

Is it worth noting that I only know this because of the spoof horror movie Repossessed?

dubb :)

@ObviouslyNotBanana Aglets, BTW, are precisely the right size to go into a seat belt buckle, jam, and not come out again. That cost me a couple of hundred dollars and it turns out I'm not the only one...

Baby pigs 🐖 😋
