I used to know what those were, but then I got zapped by a laser
Those are the ends of what are called shoelaces, friend.
Friendship: DENIED
Damn, I was joking and now I’m at -1. Should’ve added the /s I guess.
More seriously, aren’t those called aglets? Always forget the name when I want to remember it.
"Always forget the name when I want to remember it. "
Is that a problem you run into regularly?

I am reminded of this term about once a year and then promptly forget because it never comes up except in internet memes.
Friendship: POSSIBLE
I know this because of phineas and ferb
Justice League Unlimited, animated series from the mid aughts, for me. The Question played by Jeffrey Combs was amazing!
Exactly what I was thinking of. I’d still like to know what the real, sinister purpose of aglets are.
They break down faster than your shoe string and spread microplastics. Just my guess.
It’s actually an eyelet
Nah, eyelet is the hole that your lace (and aglet) goes through.

“The plastic tips at the end of shoe laces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.”
Their purpose is to be a component for Hermes Boots
^ This ^ is where I learned the word “aglet” and (looked up) what they were. First time I found them in Terraria, I thought surely it was a typo for “anklet” or something, since that was back in the beta days.

That’s easy: they are the Tube nipples of the tube titties
Aglet gang, rise up
Is it worth noting that I only know this because of the spoof horror movie Repossessed?
Education takes many forms
Ah, but once you know of the aglets, do you know what you put the aglets through? Maybe you should be friends with people who don’t know aglets but do know the word for the holes
Ooiiieee not my eyelet holes.
I’m the only one that can have eyeholes
Whack
It’s worth the risk. They melt in your mouth! They’re delicious!
Flooglebinder!
Are you kidding me? Has usb D dropped already??
2000 ways to orient it, neat.
I don’t know the name but I can tell you how sad they make me when they break and tear off and you have to use a lighter on the now extremely frayed end(s) of your shoelace for just a few seconds, and then pinch off the flame just lightly burning your fingies while molding the shoelace end into a cohesive black carcinogen.
