My Controversial Opinions on Socks

[@aCookieGod]

when sandiction opened his luggage at vidcon it was just a pile of clothes. he didnt even try to fold anything, just threw it all into the luggage. bro was digging for underwear. i was disgusted.

[@aCookieGod]

then he'd throw his dirty clothes at a corner in the hotel room

Rekrap just casually did an insane comeback in the speedrun and chose to talk about socks and biking, a true legend

[@n019n]

and grasshoppers.

[@EmilyLuu]

SO FRICKIN TRUE

[@44Hd22]

Your comment spoiled the whole video for me now. (I would now type a funny sound but I don’t know how to write it.)

[@kayleemoore7216]

Ukr lol

[@shakedownben]

Why did you have to spoil the whole video

[@hyperwastaken]

To answer the cycling questions: The outfit is just called a cycling kit and the reason why the padding is in the shorts is because it helps with the distribution of weight and also means the seat does not have to be as large. Some bike shorts do have pockets, but all bike jerseys have the pocket mainly because it's easier to reach back to get things from a back pocket than reaching down to grab something from your legs. However, at least for when I raced state I never carried anything in my pockets because it's extra weight and also probably could fall out.

[@Gamertag15243]

Makes sense hopefully rek sees this

[@Theachup]

Can confirm!

[@ibrue]

Can confirm too!

[@Sebiebo]

Rek is that one friend that’s random but so chill at the same time PS: Shorts have padding instead of the seats because of aerodynamics and the same goes for the pockets, and pockets in shirts are more comfortable when leaning on a competitive bike and it’s easier to grab out of shirt pockets while staying seated

[@wombat6]

I used to fold my socks so that the pair would stay together and I don't have to search for two matching socks in the morning when I need to get to work. I solved that problem by literally only having one type of sock (I bought a whole bunch of the same ones). Now I just grab the two first socks on top of the drawer.

Honestly, about the sitting all day bad mood - I totally agree. You don't really want to go out, but if you do, you instantly feel better

[@HikrisDopl]

I actually approve of your opinion about folding socks. However for holes in socks, I can’t do because if I used those socks for running I would end up with blisters. I give my broken socks to my dog and play tug of war with him with the socks

[@chapter1564]

I see rekrap video, I click, he talks about socks, I listen, he talks about grasshopper suiciding themselves onto a bicycle, I still listen WHAT HAS MY LIFE COME TOO

[@GigasGMX]

I “fold” socks (wrap one sock in a pair in the other) in order to keep pairs together. It’s basically necessary if you have an assortment of socks in different styles like I do.

[@PyroRobo]

I spend a decent chunk of my waking hours sitting in a chair and I can confidently say that a bike ride really does revitalize the body. Even though I can get worn out a little pedaling a heavy, full suspension mountain bike up hill, I still enjoy it. I'm glad to hear Parker and his brother get to experience the same joy of bike riding. Oh, about the bike seat thing. Most manufactures cut costs by minimizing things such as the seat size. When it comes to more competitive riders, lower weight is almost always preferred. If a rider wants a more comfortable seat then they have a few options. Buy a different seat, buy a padded seat cover, or buy wearable padding. Might I recommend watching videos from the Berm Peak Express KZbin channel.

[@electrical-brawlstars8509]

5:43 Don’t mind rek, he’s just casually towering up from a wither skeleton at half a heart while talking about socks. This is why we all love watching rekrap :)

[@Real_Moryhiro]

It’s the same issue as making ur bed like y would you do it if ur gonna sleep on it next day, it’s just mainly for organization and personal satisfaction

[@nighthawkgaming2953]

You fold socks to keep the two socks together so you don’t have to spend time looking for a matching pair

[@ThisIsWizardsHandle]

[@crambols1310]

i dunno the actual reason for pockets on the shirt instead of the shorts but, it helps me as it doesnt put weights on my shorts which would cause my shorts to go down

[@aDragonMC_2_]

A 12 minute rekrap video about socks? I'm so here for this

[@happiestdart6873]

ain’t nothing like watching a video of rekrap talking controversially about socks

[@lightning_11]

I fold my socks to make sure they're in pairs. I suppose it wouldn't matter if all my socks could go on either foot, but searching through the bin for two socks that can be worn at the same time is super annoying!

[@thomasfloyd3097]

It's easier to reach into a pocket on your shirt than on your pants while you're pedaling hard. The pads in the shorts are for weight distribution. Neither thing is super necessary unless you're biking at a really competitive level.

[@lokajithpremkumar691]

Great video Rek! For the sock hole opinion, I think holes in most places of the sock are alright, but as an ADHD person, whenever there is a hole in my clothing, I pick at it and completely ruin it.

[@sinjinplays]

I also dont ever fold my socks, just put them in a pair and that's all that is needed. Also just went on a 5 hour bike ride to come back to see a Rekrap video talking about the exact same thing. Your commentaries motivate me to be more active and try new things, so thank you for that. Great day today. Love your videos!

Never did I expect to listen to Rek talking about socks in a video

[@T.Rex97234]

You fold your socks to keep pairs together so that you never lose a sock.

[@071ILO]

I don’t know if this counts as folding, but I roll my socks up in pairs and flip one inside out to create a sort of sack. Easy to undo, and easy to pick out a pair. I agree with your hole take. Obviously not ideal and I don’t know the effects functionality-wise, but aesthetically hole in sole is probably the least aesthetically sacrilegious of locations Edit: 31982 views, 83k likes 🤣 really impressive ratio. Great job youtube code And another thing. I was probably deaf when you mentioned it, and I’m not a biker so take my assumption with a grain of salt, but if biker shirts have pockets but biker short don’t, I would assume it has to do with leg mobility and balance - an object in a pocket will cause slight imbalance and bending a leg is more cumbersome with an object like a phone preventing full motion And congrats on getting all of the armor trims!!!

[@_jakeo_533]

Ong

[@Mario-cz6tr]

thats how its doneeee!!!!!

[@Señortomatoe]

Its to get you to buy more stuff. The seat is unpadded for you to buy special shorts, for money, and the shorts have no pockets so that you buy the shirt. Its smart, yet annoying.

[@testacct-l5t]

awesome commentary and insane comeback! That stronghold was nuts, no wonder the preemptive was a little off. Would you consider making one of these types of videos on cross country, if there were enough interesting moments/stories to fill up a speedrun? I'm running XC and track in high school right now and it's always cool to compare experiences with people especially when they're a youtuber who I watch a lot of + think is really cool.

[@AidanCraft90]

I have OCD (or ADHD or both idk) and apparently that affects my taste for socks, the seam of the sock where it is above the toes really affects my right foot's pinkie toe, if the seam is touching it then it is really annoying and I have to adjust it every 30 seconds, if it is not then I'm fine. So I just try not to wear socks whenever I can. Also, one of my socks mysteriously disappears every month or so. And they keep vanishing until I have to buy new socks, it sucks. lol

[@kflats]

hey rek this is kinda weird to say but this commentary made me realize we aren't so different! we're both runners and bikers (i'm going on a 60 mile bike ride tomorrow!) and of course we both love minecraft. whenever you talk about your physical activity like running soccer or whatever it makes me so engaged

[@Deltacarygirl]

Oh my gosh, the long awaited Rekrap commentary video zero cycle! But uh, “I don’t know who was controlling them” in reference to grasshoppers was a rather alarming question

Fold socks so that it’s easy to grab a matching pair

[@baselobster]

I do mountain biking, I’m pretty sure the pockets on the shirt and not the shorts are for ease of access. Cause your legs are moving a bunch it’s just easier to grab a bottle from your back ( I think your talking about the back ones) in my case I have the padded shorts and then another pair with lots of pockets for gloves and snacks. Love your stuff dude keep being amazing!

Glad you are getting into biking. Can be lots of fun but some of the clothing is interesting 😅. I mostly do mountain biking and XC but occasionally go for a road or gravel ride.

[@TheInfraredCat]

i dont fold my socks, i kinda tie them up in pairs, so you can grab 2 matching socks at the same time. if that makes sense

[@---li1oo]

I completely agreed on the need to go outside and not wanting to go outside, it really feels different once I’m outside, in the sun, or whatnot, exercise, it just felt fresher and with more energy.

[@eldsflamma8094]

for the sock logic, thats what its like for all of the clothes. You fold them just to unfold them later, so then you could just not fold them in the first place. Also great video. It was all over the place but it doestn matter when you're learning life advice with Rekrap

answer on the question at 7:00 is aerodynamics

[@alexandergriffiths2532]

The grasshopper part is so relatable, the kamikaze grasshoppers when I run during the summer is soooo bad

[@potatopig137]

I have a cycling kit, the bottom part is referred to as a bib but I don't know if the top has it own name. But yeah I think someone else has mentioned it about the pockets but when you are cycling you legs are almost constantly moving so it's less practical to put pockets there. However our most recent kits do have pockets on the bottom part. But Biking and just taking a break outdoors is so refreshing.

Reason to fold your socks: keeping the pairs together. however if you dont have an abundance of wild and unique socks like i do i can see why this wouldnt be necessary. Even with my crazy socks i still dont always fold them.

similar to the grasshoppers: my dad and i were biking one time and this prairie dog tried to cross the path in front of me, so i zoom past and he stops and does a full 180, while hes flat on the ground, and tries to go back the way he came, and my dad comes after me, directly in front of where the prairie dog was going, so he spins around AGAIN and this is in the span of like 5 seconds

The reason for the pockets being in the shirt is because when you are in a race it better to get something from your back then to stop and get it out of your shorts. Love your videos by the way

[@Unknownpegasusmc]

when can you make the next video? pls make one i want to have a good video to watch. but thx for the good content you produce.

[@Rayboer]

I saw "controversial' and was like "rek was being controversial what!?!"

[@OrigiNULL01]

With the biking though the suit that people wear when they’re serious about biking is used to reduce air resistance

[@braxion1243]

The reason why the short don't have a pocket while the shirt have pocket. It's because when you pedal your legs go up and items inside your pocket can fall out specifically phones wallet and etc.

[@ArrowMaster_]

I really relate to the "not wanting to go outside but when you do it feels fantastic" feeling

[@barg3816]

I think the pockets are on the shirt because when biking your legs are going haywire and things can fall out of your pocket. But there should just be zippers idk

[@NixityNullt]

0:47 "You fold them, then you unfold them to put them back on, what's the point" That argument could apply to literally any article of clothing, and does not make any sense because the purpose of folding is to make things easier to organize and put on shelves/in drawers. Tetris is easier when you can fold the blocks into squares.

[@panda_314]

the biking onesie is like a sock for your entire body

[@Jeremonkey90]

Ok there is actually science behind why you don’t want to go outside yet you feel good after. Your brain has hormones called dopamine and serotonin. Activities like gaming, release dopamine in your brain which makes you feel really happy and when you do activities that release dopamine, your brain wants more of it. Serotonin is the hormone that makes you feel good about yourself. Completing an activity like going for a run causes serotonin to release. However, if you have too much dopamine released from an activity that release dopamine, you become dopamine dependent, which makes you serotonin aversive. This can lead to good feelings when doing dopamine night activities but once you stop, you may feel stressed, anxious or when it gets bad, you may have feelings like “I’m worthless” or “I’m no good.” That’s why doing activities like going for a run is so good, because it releases serotonin, and why it feels bad before you do it, because of dopamine dependence. Keep in mind this is in a nutshell. Have a wonderful day 😊

[@mellowbird4947]

You fold socks so you can keep the pairs together unless all of your socks are the same then you have to grab two individually or something whatever
