Imagine bringing home your date and they take off their jacket just to show off the chest warmer.

Misread this as Elven Ways to tie a Scarf. Now I'm sad Legolas isn't going to gimme drip.

[-] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I thought it was 11 ways to tie a tie and thought it must have been a shit post when I saw the fourth one.

[-] Revonult@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I was about to comment this!

We need more fashion advice from mythological races.

I like how one of the ways to tie the scarf is "just don't tie it".

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 years ago

That's the one I typically use. Didn't even know (or care) it had an official place in scarf tying culture.

It seems to me that if you are going to include 4-in-hand, a traditional necktie knot, then you should include these: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_85_Ways_to_Tie_a_Tie (at a minimum) and possibly reference this: https://phys.org/news/2014-02-mathematicians-ways.html (177,147 ways). ๐Ÿ˜€

Thank you for providing the references, I was not aware of these!

[-] jadero@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 years ago

No problem! I was once at a place that imposed a mandatory necktie policy. I hate neckties, so I thought I'd at least have fun with it. I wore ties as silly and varied as I could get away with and tied them different every day. That book was a boon.

[-] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

Did you try the Back To The Future double tie?

[-] jadero@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 years ago

I did not. I did only single-tie systems for mathematical purity. (Just kidding. I might have tried it if I had thought to!)

[-] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

I used to do Paris, 4 in hand looks legit

[-] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

4 in hand is just a standard tie knot applied to a scarf.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

A lot of those are just fancy nooses that can be used against you in a fight.

[-] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

People can grab your hair and clothing in a fight too. It's best to go around naked and fully shaved in case someone decides to attack. Add a coating of oil for extra protection.

[-] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

That's a great idea unless you're a Brazilian jujitsu fighter, then you want them to grab you so you can do fancy locks and break their fingers.

[-] morphballganon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

Apparently the thing I do is called a Parisian knot. Neat.

[-] Pringles@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Reverse drape tuck ftw

[-] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

I didn't check the community name and fully expected one of these to be a noose.

[-] Car@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago
[-] therealjcdenton@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 years ago

That's a weird way to spell scarf

[-] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Where's the Windsor knot?
