    I like to point to Idiocracy (a movie you couldn’t make today but I saw for the first time in 2024; I think it was good) which Crocs are used as shoes for the future because they were not widely available and the costume designer said “There’s no way people will wear them.”

    I stand vindicated that Crocs are idiotic.

      Every now and then I get the feeling there might be something about them. Are they like supremely comfortable? Everyone I see wearing them nowadays seems chill and makes it look like they’re comfy.

      Either that or the country has fully devolved into Walmart as Idiocracy foretold.

        They’re comfy, they’re easy to clean, they’re water proof, they float, they can be worn like slippers with the straps up or can be more comfortable for walking around with the straps down, you can regularly find them for $30.

        What are the negatives again?

    “Interesting… you’re wearing your crocs in the desert style, like a Fremen. Who taught you to do this?”

    “It just seemed to make sense…”
