I just bought a 3 pack of socks, and I thought they were all the same solid colour, but no, subtle stripes at the top. Nobody but me will notice, and even if they did, they wouldn’t care, but still, I feel compelled to match.

My kids’ socks don’t match, but they would if the company facilitated it

My hot take is that bare feet outdoors are great (as long as you’re on sand/grass/leaf mulch etc. and not, like, hiking in a volcano) but once you have human-made surfaces involved you need socks or shoes. Feet full of mud from running around the woods barefoot = great, the slightest crumb underfoot from walking around your house barefoot = nightmare.
And socks don’t need to match, but sock companies need to offer some multi-pair options that are truly identical socks, not this nonsense with being identical except for different color stripes or whatever.

I need them to feel the same on both feet at least. If one is more stretched out than the other or a different style I’d constantly be adjusting them without thinking about it.

Ooooh I’ll bite. My hot take = socks at all times all day every day.
Hell, I sleep with them on.
I think I was too feral as a kid & now I overvalue not being barefoot

One of the small pleasures when I was a kid was seeing how dark I could make the washing water with my filthy feet.
Nowadays I get that rush from soaking blankets after months of use, but it’s not the same.
Alas, I live in a place with broken glass and sometimes needles on the ground. No bare feet for me.

Home 3D printers are evil. Like an instant plastic dollar store machine. Crochet or woodwork or something.

I would use it to make so many stupid things and then immediately make silicone molds of them go make them in other materials.
I should not be trusted with this power. That’s my hot take.

I would exclusively use it to fix all the little doodad parts that are constantly breaking on modern items. 
So I’d use it to make my stuff last longer. Like the little piece that’s broken on my stove knob. It’s temporarily fixed with a chopped up credit card piece, but with a 3d printer I could actually fix fix it.
But I agree, most people will just do dumb stuff maybeprobably.

I make dumb stuff all the time. If I had a robot that also made dumb stuff??? The dumb stuff production would skyrocket.

Ah okay, I have yet to run across a better quality one then I guess! My neighbor makes a lot of shit and has tried to make useful things and they are terrible. That was my main basis for the home use cases. But then, I grew up helping in my uncles machining shop, so I’m sure my impression is skewed with solid metal custom parts replacements!

The stuff we’ve done for repairs is like a mesh thing to go over a drain that’s perfectly sized, and forever ago when Mr. Meer snapped a tendon in his finger he was able to print a spoon shaped splint with air holes that everyone at the hand therapy place thought was cool. 
I don’t remember the other little things but strength wasn’t a big consideration.
But a much higher proportion of silly things have been printed. Mostly it just takes up space now.
