this is pretty interesting but i don't think i can justify dropping everything to study it. but it did remind me of an adjacent "field", that guy who explores all the ways to lace shoes

(i think this is the one, but whereas old search engines would find it right away, now the results are full of "i made this" or me-too spam)

I was expecting Mathologer's book when you mentioned shoelaces. Thanks for the link

One of my pet peeves is how Google makes it hard to get at the url to share directly from the search results. Yes there's the share link but that does not link to the original.
