Right?!

I was thinking to myself, who would know the most about these socks? What better place than the community that's all about socks XD

If any mods or experts are reading this, a great idea to make would be a stickied buying guide.

That's great to hear!

I'm thinking I might go with Sock Dreams for my first pair. I'm looking for something thicker and more sock-like.

I will definitely keep Kixies on hand though for potential future socks (or if I want to get socks for someone else :3)

I do like the idea of rubber grips. Do you feel they rub you or squeeze too hard?

It's nice to hear how good they make you feel!

Funnily enough, I'm a fairly typical cis person (maybe a little bi in some ways). It's still cool to see how these communities interact and live. I was raised as a kid to hate anything other than straight and cis, so getting a chance to be involved with these communities is a bit of a new thing for me.

Going to shops like those is no problem for me. The main problem is there aren't many near where I live.

How do you rate their feel? I like stuff that's really soft to the touch but not fuzzy. Like a really good t-shirt kinda fabric.

Not sure how I would feel about socks with ribbing though. As long as it's not a rough texture, I think I would like it.

Do you have recommendations for particular styles or materials from Sock Dreams?

To be fair, I wouldn't be surprised if the crew tried sabotaging the boat. They probably realized, at the last minute, that there was no escape, and tried to flood the boat to hide as much evidence as possible. Clearly they failed, but that would explain the sinking sub and lost bales.

I found that there are 5 different solutions with several diverging paths:

Beans. The answer is beans (and some other vegetables)

Oh don't underestimate me!

I'm planning to block them after their downfall! 😆

Right?! Lol.

Every reply OP has made has either been "Your lying and wrong" or "I don't like you, so I'm gonna ignore you".

They asked for the community's opinion about a legit question and got all butt-hurt that they didn't like the answers.

I love when people act like this on Lemmy because two reasons: It's hella entertaining, and it points a flashing neon arrow at who to block to make your Lemmy better.

Here's how I think is the best way to word it:

There are really two types of "more holes"

The first is the number of holes. Double the volume of cheese and you double the number of holes.

The second is the density of holes. Say the cheese has 1 hole per cubic inch. Double it to 2 holes per inch and you have twice the empty volume

The first phrase increases the number of holes by merely increasing the volume of cheese.

The second phase increases the number of holes by increasing their density.

To me at least, tex-mex is basically "Taco seasoning" and minimal traditional Spanish elements. I wouldn't say corn is a requirement.

My instance has been having trouble with the new AVIF image format and incidentally turned the comic into a surreal glitch-art:

From explain xkcd:

Polyethylvinylesteracetate

This appears to be a reference to Poly (ethylene-vinyl acetate), some formulations of which can be used as the adhesive in hot-glue guns. Vinyl acetate is an ester, so the inclusion of that term is redundant. The cadence of the constructed word may also be a reference to the television episode Lucy Does a TV Commercial and its memorable product "Vitameatavegamin". It also resembles the kind of thing often seen in ingredients lists for common household products such as soaps and cleaners, which are fairly meaningless to the average person buying them.

2-Polyethylvinylesteracetate

This sounds almost exactly the same as the above item, but a name with a "2-" prefix generally indicates that the initial bit of the name is a functional group attached to the second position along a chemical chain (often being the carbon-carbon 'spine' of a molecule, in large-molecule organic chemistry), rather than attached to its end. Because the molecule name is (possibly deliberately) malformed, it's hard to tell what is supposed to be attached to the second carbon of what subunit.

Possibly it's an incomplete archive? I have no idea what the original site looked like, so I can't confirm if the archive is complete or even if it's legit.
