don’t wanna join a discord server either, they are trying to use it to replace support forums now, no thanks
Ethics, morals, sure. But a philosophy!?
But have you considered the benefits of joining the Temple of Socks? Have you considered the cost to your soles if you don’t?
Exactly. It is corporate cultism. And what is wild, is that it works. Because humanity is a giant disappointment.
Does ToS speak in tongues?
i recently got some thigh highs from sock dreams. i paid and they sent me the socks. they arrived and someone had hand wrote thanks on the packing list. that was the end of the transaction and i had my socks. this is the ideal sock transaction.
love that site, really appreciate their info on fit / sizing!
Best I can do is 9.99/month and you get 2 pairs of socks in the mail every month
Okay but don’t crap on Hank Green’s stuff, he gets a pass in my book. It’s a subscription for socks but theirs is actually a decent business. Lots of charity work and eco friendly pushes
12.99 gets you three socks a month, it’s a steal.
For only $20 more per month you can upgrade your subscription to 4 socks per month!
Slightly worn?
If you use the discount code #amouranth2026
Their mission is to make money &/or increase shareholder value (depending on the company). The socks are merely a means to an end.
Except that Hank Green sock store. They seem genuine.
Honestly, if Hank Green turned out to be awful, I would be thrown for a total loop. There are some people whose heel turn didn’t faze me at all, but I’ve followed the Green Brothers for my entire adult life, and if it all turned out to be a long con, I’d be flabbergasted.
Me too, which is just another way of saying there is just no way this will happen. He and John recently turned Complexly into a nonprofit, after they shopped around to sell it and found that all interested buyers would repurpose it to something far away from its mission. See: https://youtu.be/LMCbqRsW7PM starting at 2:30 or so.
Totally. The more I hear Hank talk about his philosophy and thought process, the more I realize that even when I don’t agree with his decisions I really respect how he got there (and often I end up coming around to agreeing with them, too). By all accounts they’re both entirely who they seem to be, which is kind, decent, and effective people. Sometimes I wish they were a little bit less pragmatic, but even within that I can’t knock them too much because it’s so hard to argue with results.
But… Darn Tough.
Wdym, they last so long I haven’t bothered looking at any since I bought 7 pairs 3 years ago 😛
Nahhhh, fuck dem socks… Can we please leave the sock circle jerking on Reddit?
Empowering communities with cotton socks
In the age of social media and culture communities, is it no surprise companies would try to mimic this human behavior, too? They are legally ppl afterall…
Same with donating socks when I buy a pair or donating my change at the grocery store. Stay in your lane.

Mismatched socks. Socks that need darning. Some nice people make socks with stuff, or make stuff from socks. There even a market for the fetishists, I don’t know how that works but money is involved
