@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
They are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.
Wait, what's their true purpose?
To slowly disperse neurotoxin when you chew on them.
I know this one! It's a picture - a graphical depiction of something. They can come in many formats. I've heard they can be worth a thousand words.

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.
Whappers
Baby pigs 🐖 😋
Shoelace boners.
And so it was written. Well done.
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.
Friday at 9 pm we're hangin' out, wanna join?
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.
Now kiss
I've spent hours looking for them so I could finally craft the Lightning boots.
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.
Those are shoe laces. They help keep your shoes on your feet.
