Those are shoe laces. They help keep your shoes on your feet.
Telomeres, right? Then why is nobody saying telomeres?
Telomeres are a structure on DNA. These things, aglets, are a common metaphor used to describe the function of telomeres as aglets basically do for shoelaces what telomeres do for DNA
Reverse the metaphor.
Yet another example of the US being under the thumb of big agletculture.
Aglets & I got to know this from Phineas & Ferb
Jimmy Neutron taught me
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.
@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…
Perfectly mildly interesting fact
Lace nipples
I have no idea.
They’re called aglets. If you didn’t already know that, I’m going to assume you have a life and aren’t a gigantic nerd, and hope you still invite me to parties despite occasionally spouting useless information.
That’s a slur and I’m offended^
happythat you would call us that 😏I forgot what they were called as well, I just remember someone saying that guy became a millionaire when I was a kid, and at the time I thought there was still hope for me.
Now kiss
Friday at 9 pm we’re hangin’ out, wanna join?
Shoelace boners.
And so it was written. Well done.
They are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.
Wait, what’s their true purpose?
To slowly disperse neurotoxin when you chew on them.
Haha, sorry, just a reference to this scene: https://youtu.be/QkEBvqaXXHc?t=26s
It don fuckin matter what its called, it better have teeth marks on it brother.
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.
That’s easy: they are the Tube nipples of the tube titties
Ah, I have heard the name of those before.
Egrets, right?
Get that AI slop out of my face before I block you.
How can you tell it’s AI? /gen
I can recognise the Font/lack thereof.
It’s a bit on the nose. Like, to have that in your back pocket and remember to use it is kind of nuts.
