  @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?

  Telomeres, right? Then why is nobody saying telomeres?

  source

  • Gustephan@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    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.

  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 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.

  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

      ^ 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.
