i think of this as the 'no longer caring if my socks match' era.
why:
You can't see them, my jeans cover my ankles
why are you looking at my socks?
both socks have the same texture that's all that matters
who has time to sort socks?
- c22 11mo agoI buy my socks in "generations", alternating white and black. I ruthlessly purge individuals when they develop holes and I purge the entire n-2 generation whenever I buy a new batch.
- kulahan 11mo agoI've been buying socks from Sketchers for years now. It's the only brand I buy. They're not amazing, but I get holes in my socks so fast I don't really care. At the very least, all my socks match, even though I probably have some that are 8 years old and some that are 2 weeks old.
- bluefirebrand 11mo ago> who has time to sort socks It takes a minute Who doesn't have time? Trying to hyper optimize your time so aggressively that you can't bother with tiny chores is crazy
- mapontosevenths 11mo agoConsider the opportunity cost. It's not that we literally don't have time, its that we have better things to do with that time. When we say we don't have time, it's usually just another way to say that we find other things to be of greater inportance.
- bluefirebrand 11mo agoThis sort of hyper optimization of a persons life is a sickness If you are at the point of cutting out "folding socks" because of the opportunity cost of that two minutes a week, you're fucked in the head
- lawlessone 11mo agofolding/sorting socks seems like a form of hyper optimization. Who cares, they're socks.
