Those are shoe laces. They help keep your shoes on your feet.
Are you kidding me? Has usb D dropped already??
2000 ways to orient it, neat.
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
@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
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.
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?
Thanks. This is what I was looking for
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.

Aglets. Now you know.
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
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
Ooiiieee not my eyelet holes.
I’m the only one that can have eyeholes
Whack
It’s worth the risk. They melt in your mouth! They’re delicious!
It don fuckin matter what its called, it better have teeth marks on it brother.
