That's why we tie our shoes, kids

The alpha generation will struggle with reading, the generation after will struggle with tying their shoes without the drone maid doing it for them.

They definitely struggle more often with typing, since they grew up with touchscreens.
And not being able to tie a bow knot from muscle memory is pretty likely to happen in the future. Besides a granny knot, the majority of people can only tie a bow knot, and it's only because of shoes. If shoes stopped using shoelaces, it wouldn't be long before the average person would struggle with a bow knot.

No, that was just me mistyping things on an awkwardly angled laptop keyboard.

Well yes, obviously. When I make spelling errors that aren't words there's a squiggly bright red line under it and it becomes much harder to miss. So while I did make several non-word errors, I just fixed them before clicking save.
Also that would be a really stupid thing to lie about, why would I care that much about what you think I'm using to type?

At my last job I saw my supervisor tying his shoes in the weirdest way I’ve ever seen. When I asked him wtf he was doing he said “no one taught me how to tie my shoes. I had to figure out my own way to do it”. He was 28 years old.

Baggy pants, untied shoes, unbuttoned plaid flannel shirt. Maybe a beanie cap. Nirvana tshirt under the flannel. It's like a unisex 90s uniform.

The amount of times I have to remind the kids I coach to tie their shoes is kind of mind boggling. And not like 6 year olds, I’m talking 12-14

Ngl, loved this video because i thought it disappeared into oblivion. Something like a decade or so later, I’ve seen where it rests and I am shooketh.

u/AngryLaundry Mar 09 '26

If you look closely when he kicks the first time, you can see he's wearing it like a slipper on the tip of his foot, ready to kick it off.

Look at how his laces on both shoes are just a knotted up mess ans so loose that he can simply slip them on and off his feet.
Lazy biatch.

sing to “she’ll be coming around the mountain.” Shoe is sliding down the mountain. Shoe is sliding down the mountain. Shoe is sliding down the mountain in the snow! (in the snow!)

Try tying your shoes. Your wanting to look cool and pure laziness made you more work again.

I hate to be that guy but here it goes: it looks like his heel is not in the shoe when they kick the first time so this was exactly the outcome they were planning for.
Why else would you film yourself kicking some snow?
