I know this because of phineas and ferb
Justice League Unlimited, animated series from the mid aughts, for me. The Question played by Jeffrey Combs was amazing!
Exactly what I was thinking of. I’d still like to know what the real, sinister purpose of aglets are.
They break down faster than your shoe string and spread microplastics. Just my guess.
I am reminded of this term about once a year and then promptly forget because it never comes up except in internet memes.
It’s actually an eyelet
Nah, eyelet is the hole that your lace (and aglet) goes through.
I prefer my truth
“I reject your reality, and substitute my own.”
Shoelace foreskins.

My German friend loved that when I showed them.
Korrekt ist Nadel. Wenn sie aus Metall ist, kann man auch Pinke dazu sagen.
Ich dachte es wäre immer Pinke.

Are you kidding me? Has usb D dropped already??
food. given how much i chew on them
Are you a cat? Who chews on their shoelaces?
Yet another example of the US being under the thumb of big agletculture.
“The plastic tips at the end of shoe laces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.”
Their purpose is to be a component for Hermes Boots
Those are the ends of what are called shoelaces, friend.

Damn, I was joking and now I’m at -1. Should’ve added the /s I guess.
More seriously, aren’t those called aglets? Always forget the name when I want to remember it.
"Always forget the name when I want to remember it. "
Is that a problem you run into regularly?
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!
The Simpsons told me what an aglet is years ago.
The question is, do you know what this is?
An awl? Am I missing something?
Home Improvement is where I learned that, hence the picture of Wilson, who’s the one who brought it up.
Alrighty neighbour
(Awl, neighbour (Wilson) to the right)
That’s a Wilson.
For specialized pokey tools, my favorite is the regulator. The only thing handier than a regulator is two regulators.

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.
Those are shoe laces. They help keep your shoes on your feet.
Lace nipples
Thanks. This is what I was looking for
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.
