@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

I know this because of phineas and ferb
Justice League Unlimited, animated series from the mid aughts, for me. The Question played by Jeffrey Combs was amazing!
Exactly what I was thinking of. I’d still like to know what the real, sinister purpose of aglets are.
They break down faster than your shoe string and spread microplastics. Just my guess.
I am reminded of this term about once a year and then promptly forget because it never comes up except in internet memes.
It’s actually an eyelet
Nah, eyelet is the hole that your lace (and aglet) goes through.
I prefer my truth
“I reject your reality, and substitute my own.”

Korrekt ist Nadel. Wenn sie aus Metall ist, kann man auch Pinke dazu sagen.
Ich dachte es wäre immer Pinke.

My German friend loved that when I showed them.

Was?
Why do I have you tagged as “loves stealing” lmao
I think we agreed on that. I have tagged myself that too. Not sure why anymore but tags are awesome
Shoelace foreskins.
Those are the ends of what are called shoelaces, friend.
Friendship: DENIED
Damn, I was joking and now I’m at -1. Should’ve added the /s I guess.
More seriously, aren’t those called aglets? Always forget the name when I want to remember it.
aglets in english
English in English
"Always forget the name when I want to remember it. "
Is that a problem you run into regularly?
Are you kidding me? Has usb D dropped already??
2000 ways to orient it, neat.
food. given how much i chew on them
Are you a cat? Who chews on their shoelaces?
Those are shoe laces. They help keep your shoes on your feet.
The Simpsons told me what an aglet is years ago.
The question is, do you know what this is?
An awl? Am I missing something?
Home Improvement is where I learned that, hence the picture of Wilson, who’s the one who brought it up.
That’s a Wilson.
Alrighty neighbour
(Awl, neighbour (Wilson) to the right)

🎵I want it awl, I want it awl, I want it awl, and I want it now🎵
(The song that gets stuck in my head whenever I use an awl)
And now it will be in mine as well. So thanks for that.
For specialized pokey tools, my favorite is the regulator. The only thing handier than a regulator is two regulators.
Augur
Awl that jazz.
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
“The plastic tips at the end of shoe laces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.”
Their purpose is to be a component for Hermes Boots
^ This ^ is where I learned the word “aglet” and (looked up) what they were. First time I found them in Terraria, I thought surely it was a typo for “anklet” or something, since that was back in the beta days.
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
Looks like Sandstorm by Darude
Okay I’ll bite,
The rude who?
Aka if you don’t watch phineas and ferb, you’re not my friend
