Wtf I hate this why
Trypophobia + mosquitoes
+ Crocs
Crocs are cool again
fuck no
My kids love crocks. I get it though. They look comfortable and who cares if they’re ugly af.
They’re the sweatpants of the feet.
Sweatpants aren't ugly.
Crocs are shockingly prominent at high schools and college campuses these days.
So's chlamydia, doesn't make it cool.
So are STIs.
if everyone jumped off a bridge...
18+ mosquitoes sucking my blood is pretty awful even without a phobia.
Trypophobia in action.
I mean why create it!!
Because there is enjoyment from watching people suffer. Probably a German word
Schadenfreude!
Fun fact about Crocs.
In the movie idocracy, the costume designer chose crocs as the primary style of shoes because they considered to be so ugly only a complete idiot worluld where them.
Fact check: I do not wear crocs, yet I am an idiot. There is no correlation between the two.
No, you're good. Just because all croc wearers are idiots does not mean you cannot be an idiot without crocs.
I thought people wore them because of how comfy they are, not for the looks
So many options for comfy shoes, why choose those.
I used to be a big hater of Crocs. Ugly, rubbery, cheap looking things that anyone should be ashamed of wearing.
I needed a new pair of shoes for a new little garden patio we did up. On a whim, I tried a pair of Crocs (with semi-ironic weed leaf print), and honestly? They're pretty good shoes. I wear em when I do other various chores that might have me going outside.
Because they're cheap as hell, easy to slip on, comfy and you don't really have to worry about them getting wet and whatnot. What would in your opinion be better for summer cabin, for example? Or just taking out the trash?
My flip-flops, which have the added bonus of not looking stupid as all hell
Also they were $2 cheaper than the Crocs right next to them
Flip flops imo are much less comfortable and usable. So that's a definite no from me. Crocs are much more like actual shoes but comfier and easy to slip on. And really cheap too unless you're buying the actual Crocs brand stuff, which, well I guess some do that.
which have the added bonus of not looking stupid as all hell
Oh the horror, what will I do now if someone thinks my shoes I use to throw out the trash or walk around on my summer cabin are stupid looking?? Better put on my fancy flip flops lmao.
Come on now, friend. Who gives a fuck lol
They’re just as ugly as the LV monogram luggage or 20 pound Rimowa carryons and yet nobody gives a shit about those and Crocs have a utility value of being comfortable.
(Side tangent in case anyone tries to convert me to Rimowa. There’s a reason flight crews don’t use them.)
Here’s a hint dear reader: it’s class war. Really weird how it’s always class war.
Tbh flipflops looks stupid to me just my opinion tho
That is a fun fact! Also add another check on the list of correlations to actual society that make that movie more prophetic than satire.
Maybe I need to calm down and drink some more electrolytes.
What else have you been drinking? I hope your aren't one of those toilet water drinkers.
I wear Crocs because they are functional, for any other reason they've long since fallen out of fashion. Combines good insulation with good air flow and they are extremely durable. If being ugly makes me an idiot for wearing them, then I am a complete idiot who deserves his electrolyte laden future.
Fuck, can we just make them extinct already? It's probably the one thing nearly every animal on the planet is hoping we make extinct
And before anyone comes in here with their "Nooo mosquitoes a pARt oF tHe fOoD ChAIn" you're at best a mosquito apologist, the food chain will be fine (We only need to make the blood sucking sub-species's extinct)
How will far-future archeologists get blood samples encased in amber from our era?
Man, fuck you OP.
I live in northern Ontario and I spend a lot of time in the summer outdoors and there are days where you can be swarmed by mosquitoes.
When my friends from the city come to visit, they look at me weird for wearing jeans and boots on a hot summer afternoon.
time to invest in mosquito pants
But isn't it difficult to fashion clothing from such small insects?
One of my favourite solutions is to just work furiously with shorts and a t-shirt. Constantly moving keeps the bugs away but you still get bitten quite a bit. Then when you're done work, you jump into an ice cold lake which soothes all the bug bites on your skin. Then dry off, put on the jeans, boots, long sleeved shirt and sit around the fire.
this place sounds like torture to live in
It is ... and it's also absolutely beautiful.
Thanks I hate it.
...and all this time I thought those were sun-burn spots! Arghhh!!
socially distanced skeeters
Gotta wear socks with your crocs
My worst nightmare
I don't know you OP but I now have hatred towards you for showing me this horror. May you stub your toe today,twice!
I think I'll stick to boots, thank you.
Aaaaaaaaaaa
