    @sinituulia Indeed, it is a strong hand of socks to have.

    (I lament quite often to my spouse on the blandness of modern sockage, although I've found some with small foxes now to make me happy. The foxes are not working).

    @nihkeys While it's possible to find a multipack with different single colour socks, a lot of them are just black, grey or white now? And that's fine but... Please, I require the whimsical sock for morale purposes. I have the reasonable socks for looking like an adult already!

      @sinituulia Bees, because I've done fieldwork with pollinators.

      Edit: the bees in my socks would probably have bakers hats, shovels, buckets and maybe frying pans, since I associate them with food and gardening.

        @sinituulia A bee at a blackboard holding chalk. A bee with an old cube-shaped crt computer monitor. A bee with a peaked cap and a whistle.

          "But Sini, how can the bees have jobs?"
          Well, obviously they'd be wearing a hard hat, or holding a clipboard, or have a shovel or chef's hat. And so on.

          @sinituulia Most bees are WORKER BEES, so it's quite obvious that they would have jobs?

              @Gulleko My feet are small enough to wear children's socks, but the quality is usually nothing to write home about, and they're usually only ankle or ballet slipper length... The socks, I want them knee high also!

                  You are obligated to wear a whimsical, colourful pair of socks with a cute pattern. What are you going for?

                  I implore you to boost this very important research, should it please you!

                  @sinituulia my usual preference is "bus/train seat moquette pattern"

                    @sinituulia @nihkeys Wait are we supposed to look like adults? I don't own any reasonable socks like that, i wear colorful stockings only.

                      @sindarina @Gulleko I feel like coming up with sock knitting patterns for industrial machines MUST be interesting from a maths, design and coding perspective? Maybe not very interesting, but interesting

                            @sinituulia I have socks that would fit into several of these categories (loosely). Also dark with colorful mushrooms and the words “Let that shiitake go!”

                                There are certainly worker bees in the social bee species.

                                  @sinituulia @Gulleko Right? I just need a nice industrial building, a row of sock and hosiery knitting machines, and enough capital to make it my full-time hobby for the next year or two.

                                    @IcooIey Mushroom socks! I've tried to find a pair, but the ones I liked (shiitake, enoki and black ear mushrooms) were not made in my size... Ah.

                                      I know the bees sound fun, but right now I want shrimp and fish in party dress! Or maybe just fancy hats? With handbags.
