It's a little-known fact that guys can noclip when they're horny enough

[–] calabast@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

There's a reason they're called a "crush"

Why is everyone wearing crocs all of a sudden?

[–] Beardsley@lemmy.world 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mainly so I don't have to put real shoes on to take out the trash tbh.

Why do you care what people wear on their feet? lol

[–] datavoid@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago

WHAT ARE THOSE?!?

[–] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Slides are literally Crocs, not even metaphorically.

Crocs also last significantly longer than any basic slides I've ever purchased. Including cheapo Amazon's, Walmarts, Adidas, and Nikes.

the more I learn about the minutia of this movie, the more incredible it becomes. what geniuses lmao

I always get a laugh out of why they chose Crocs. For anyone uninformed, see Mike judge quote below:

The wardrobe had to be something that's not around now. It had to be created for a lot of extras, and so you know our wardrobe person was looking for ways to make the budget work. And Crocs were not out in the world yet. They were just a small startup at the time. We shot in 2004, so no one was wearing Crocs. And she showed me these things, and I thought, 'Oh those are great, just stupid plastic shoes. And I said to her, 'But you actually bought these, you can order these. What if by the time the movie comes out, these things are everywhere, and it doesn't look like we're set in the future?' And she said, 'Oh no, that's never going to happen. And sure enough, by the time it comes out two years later, everyone is wearing Crocs. So it already started coming true even faster than we made the movie, really.

I don't know, but they are the ugliest shoes in existence.

[–] conciselyverbose@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Judge away. Five fingers are comfortable as shit.

~~Those look like women's ones on a man's foot though.~~

[–] turbowafflz@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I am so confused how you are able to tell the gender of the shoes and person from that photo because I can't see anything stereotypically associated with gebnder

[–] Zwiebel@feddit.org 13 points 1 year ago

The back right tile is obv closeted gay you can tell by the way it lays

Couldn't tell you. Just what it looks like to me.

I'll cross it out as a dumb assumption, though.

vibrams just need soft pink buttons on bottom for foot jobs

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

They aren't that ugly

But damn they're uncomfortable

[–] deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz 8 points 1 year ago

They're actually great for wading at the beach.

Near where I live is a shallow (waist deep) bay with a rocky sandy bottom: barefoot not advised. There're great for walking out into the shallows and helping the kids in kayaks or whatever.

Or gardening.

[–] funkajunk@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Because comfy af

[–] MossyFeathers@pawb.social 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Crocs are kinda magic. Try running with them while wearing socks in """sport mode""". In my experience it actually makes you run faster because the foam is fairly springy. I can run fast enough that I can't keep up with my feet and risk tripping.

[–] WeirdGoesPro@lemmy.dbzer0.com 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is clearly the raw croc power that makes you trip…certainly not because you’re running in a slip on sandal.

the number of people openly admitting to wear Crocs in here is really concerning.

[–] colderr@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Crocs are top-tier shoes to wear. You cannot change my mind.

[–] pyre@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

i don't think anything can. you're too far gone!

[–] sirico@feddit.uk 4 points 1 year ago

Search your feelings, you know it to be true

[–] lolcatnip@reddthat.com 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

I thought that for a long time. Then I finally gave in and got some. They're fantastic.

Crocs are lowkey the number one shoes of athletes. The minute any kid finishes any game with cleats, they kick them off and roll with the crocs.

Could a bear rock these crocs ?

[–] 9point6@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Crocs are obsolete

Slides won guys, not sure who still needs to hear this

[–] DJDarren@thelemmy.club 28 points 1 year ago

Slides are dog shit. Try running after the ice cream van in slides and you ain’t getting a cone. Run after him in crocs and you still ain’t getting a cone because you’ll be drowning in pussy instead.

[–] CluckN@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pshh Crocs has a net worth of 8 billion. Slides don’t even have a Lightning McQueen variant available.

Imagine something kinda like crocs without the toe, I guess

If you Google "slides" you'll see loads of examples

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I still don't understand what it is. A powerpoint presentation would help.

[–] gencha@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Google results are tailored to the user. This is almost never good advice
