They are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.
Wait, what’s their true purpose?
Haha, sorry, just a reference to this scene: https://youtu.be/QkEBvqaXXHc?t=26s
To slowly disperse neurotoxin when you chew on them.
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.
Those are shoe laces. They help keep your shoes on your feet.
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.
Aglets & I got to know this from Phineas & Ferb
Jimmy Neutron taught me
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.
Friday at 9 pm we’re hangin’ out, wanna join?

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.”

My German friend loved that when I showed them.
Korrekt ist Nadel. Wenn sie aus Metall ist, kann man auch Pinke dazu sagen.
Ich dachte es wäre immer Pinke.

Why do I have you tagged as “loves stealing” lmao
