could you explain the post about shoelaces and presidents? it would be greatly appreciated thank you
moobrvoobl-moobmoob-oobmpoobroom:
Sure! Do you mean this post?
So, it started in a post in 2012 (or earlier, I don’t know the exact date). As the Urban Dictionary entry explains, you would say “I like your shoelaces” in public as a sort of secret code if you suspect there’s another Tumblr user there. And if there is another Tumblr user, they would reply “Thanks, I stole them from the president” to let you know they understood the message and are, in fact, a Tumblr user.
I don’t think people do this anymore, and if they ever did, it probably wasn’t a very common thing to do. Maybe they did back in 2012 when the post was recent and Tumblr wasn’t as popular as it is now.
I also don’t think there’s any deeper meaning to the phrases. “I like your shoelaces” seems like a pretty common and nice thing to say, and if it turns out the person you thought was a Tumblr user doesn’t recognise the ‘secret message’, nothing would happen. But then “Thanks, I stole them from the president” seems weird and specific enough that you would know they understood the ‘secret message’, unlike if they just replied “Thank you”.
Then other posts appeared making references to the shoelaces and president posts:
Just in case I meet anyone irl I am still doing this 😃
listen though, this is such a me response, and i would 100% use the response

Being asexual is wild because I spent a good portion of my life assuming that being *in the mood* for sex was just a Hollywood fairy-tale and people mainly had sex because it’s what you’re supposed to do/ it’s the next step in relationships/ it can feel alright.
Then one day one of my friends said she actually wanted to suck dick and I was like… what? That’s something you can WANT to do? Like actually WANT not just tolerate or have it be suggested to you, and I was just… zoned out for a full minute wondering what the fuck.

six-of-brides wrote...Have you been through the area where you’re pretty sure you’re ace, but you have no idea what sexual attraction even IS (is it just thinking someone is hot enough to sleep with? Is there more?), so you look it up, but it seems like no one gives you a clear enough answer, and you just sit down screaming in frustration? No? Just me? Good, I don’t wish this experience on most people.
Been through it?? Friend I own PROPERTY in that area💀
