This is the first time I have seen 200 socks outside a store.

u/Ph455ki1 Aug 17 '24

Last time he used white and maybe even other coloured socks too meaning there are even more socks in this house.
I need to know why do you have so many socks u/DearEmphasis4488

u/littleyellowbike Aug 17 '24

The socks in this video are all identical and look brand-new, still creased from the packaging. I like to think he bought a bulk order of socks for the sole (heh) purpose of stacking them on his cats.

u/Ph455ki1 Aug 17 '24

That's commitment right there!

u/DiamondHandsToUranus Aug 17 '24

I mean, yeah, but he can still wear them afterward too!

u/ZDTreefur Aug 17 '24

I wouldn't want to wear bulk order temu socks.

u/Captainloooook Aug 17 '24

Maybe he can return them or give them to his friends and family Oprah style after this.

u/chux4w Aug 18 '24

That's why it costs so much to host the Catlympics, many countries don't want to be considered.

I buy all my socks at once. So at any time I have 20 of the same socks, so if I lose one I still have 19 that match.

That way I never get missing single socks. Pretty useful.

u/qtntelxen Aug 17 '24

Same, but I still don't have 200+ socks.

u/Ph455ki1 Aug 17 '24

Plus the aforementioned other colours from the day2 video. There must be at least 125 pairs of socks there, but likely more.

u/whyenn Aug 17 '24

The horrible truth is that neither does he: poor guy bought 200 pairs of the same kind of sock but every single pair lost its mate.

u/rudecanuck Aug 17 '24

I probably have about 350 socks. I just don’t know where 330 of them are.

u/Meloetta Aug 17 '24

Years ago I threw out all my socks and got a ton of the same sock, figuring that as I lose/wear out socks I can just get more of those and the matching is so much less important.

Now that I'm starting to think "I should buy another pack of socks", they don't make that specific kind anymore. So now I have to decide, do I do the same thing, throw out every sock, get all the same again? or do I get a very similar style? Which means then I'd either have to accept my socks not matching anymore or look very closely to match them...or I could just give up and get socks that work and put myself back where I started, a pile of unmatched socks

7

u/iluvios Aug 17 '24

For that reason I buy clothes every 2 years. I just spend a whole week buying, making everything match and I don’t worry about clothing for another 2 years.

6

u/pandazerg Aug 17 '24

About ten years ago I switched all my socks to Darn Tough brand socks. They're $20 a pair($25 these days) but they have a lifetime guarantee, so when I had a pair finally wore through the sole earlier this year I sent off the old pair, and had a voucher for a free replacement pair of socks a week later, and I was able to get the exact same style of sock that I got 10 years ago. Can't recommend highly enough.

u/Enough_Efficiency178 Aug 17 '24

Do you not find that you end up with socks with different levels of wear or do you cycle the 20 before a wash?

4

u/ilikepix Aug 17 '24

are you saying it would be an issue to wear two socks that are otherwise identical but one is more worn than the other?

2

u/Enough_Efficiency178 Aug 17 '24

By worn I’m referring more to the quality of the sock reducing, I’d find it annoying if one sock was noticeably less comfortable than the other

u/viralmessiah00 Aug 17 '24

u/adsjabo Aug 17 '24

Yeah I actually do a similar thing for my crew socks.

2

u/dewidubbs Aug 17 '24

It must be a sales tactic to sell socks in packs with 6 different pairs. The ability to wear different designs is definitely outweighed by the fact that once you lose / water out one sock, the other is made redundant.

I hate doing laundry for my girls. there must be 300 different socks in rotation around here

2

u/melperz Aug 17 '24

I used to buy only black or white socks until one day after laundry, half of 2 of those pairs suddenly changed colors. Like the left is black and the right is white. Then the other pair had white left and black right. Weird.

I started buying them in bulk too. Don't have that many but I have a lot. I tried using better/more expensive brands, but they don't hold up much better than cheap ones. Then I would feel like I need to keep them because they are pricey. Would rather just buy them cheap in bulk and throw them out when they are trashed.

Dear organisers,

The sock challenge had different conditions for each cat. Porky was already asleep and didn't react to it. whereas Jim was in a different location, sat in a different position, and was awake throughout. I demand a stewards enquiry and a rerun of the events.

Yours, Team Jim Fan Club representative.

Welcome to the Cat Olympics, where the gold medal goes to the cat who can nap the longest while simultaneously knocking things off the counter. The competition is fierce, and the judges are very picky about their treats! Goodluck Cathletes!

u/Jimm120 Aug 17 '24

Now, pretend they ain't just make him angry with this shit.
And there was no one he could even aim when he's pissed it.
And his alarm went off to wake him but he didn't make it.
To the Cat Olympics, slept through his plane and he missed it.
He's gon' have a hard time explaining to Pork Belly and Jimmy.
These food stamps and this WIC shit, 'cause he never risked shit.
He hoped and he wished it, but it didn't fall in his lap.
So he ain't even here, he pretends that.
