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.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

That's a slur and I'm offended^~~happy~~ that 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.

Those are shoe laces. They help keep your shoes on your feet.

[–] Phen@lemmy.eco.br 17 points 11 hours ago

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.

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

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.

[–] Pippipartner@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 15 hours ago

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

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 6 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

Their purpose is to be a component for Hermes Boots

[–] bss03@infosec.pub 3 points 3 hours ago

^ 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.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 14 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] tgxn@lemmy.tgxn.net 11 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Ooiiieee not my eyelet holes.
