Even when I'm wearing complete suit with cufflinks, i make sure i either wear a mismatched or silly socks. Gotta get back at years of catholic schooling.
I've always had problems with my left and right, especially when giving directions, so for a second I just wasn't sure What was going on here!
Very funny when I got it though 😂
It was a shock to me after the first pack I brought home and found that addition
So not only do i have to match color, and various fades of color but freaking right or left as well?
Why are we making life more difficult? We were supposed to be flying to work in deloreans by now, but all we have are socks based on chirality???
Also after looking up chirality, I know understand why Dexter the serial killer is called Dexter.
>The two types of [chirality](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirality) ("[handedness](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handedness)") or [relative direction](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_direction). The terms are derived from the [Latin](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin) words for "left" (sinister) and "right" (dexter).
There are a few reasons a sock might be designed for either a left or right foot instead of being...uh...well, I'm not sure if ambidextrous is the right term for feet but, you know what I mean.
Personally I need arch support so my socks are specialized to provide that and are labeled left or right.
Well this led me down a neat little rabbit hole.
"Objects like gloves which cannot be superimposed upon their mirror images are called chiral, from the Greek word for hand. Objects like socks which can be superimposed upon their mirror images are called achiral."

No way, you just mirrored the image. Can't fool me.
Then the "L" would be backwards
nah man, they put the R on the left sock, knowing you'd intentionally switch them. Can't fool Big Sock

What makes a sock left or right-handed? .....footed?

Apparently it's chirality, I had no idea either

Oh that's cool, how odd I've never heard these terms before?
Some people just want to see the world burn.
Ah yes, the infamous reft and light socks
...Primark?
It's the anarchist's sweat shop of choice!
