The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.
All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.
Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:
**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.

Ian's Shoelace Site has 25 different ways to tie your laces. I've been using the eponymous Ian knot for years.
Yes. Ian knot hasn't failed me yet. I didnt know there were more, though.
I tied mine wrong for about 45 years. I use a variant of the strong knot he demonstrates here. It's a game changer. My shoes never come accidentally untied anymore.
I use this method. Took a second to learn but now it's insanely fast and easy. I used to tie and leave tied, but now I don't have to
The real trick is to reverse how you do the first part of the knot instead of trying to do your loops "backwards"
I just do the former but tie the bows together to "lock" the instant "pull to untie" feature of the knot, then treat them like slip-ons. The "lock" don't bind so they're not hard to remove if I have to.
I just make them loose enough to be able to slip on/off with minimal hand use but fit enough that they won't come off in normal circumstances.
I can tie a noose a little faster than my shoes so I guess I'm just bad at tying shoes.
I've never even heard of the way that he's calling wrong. I've always tied my shoes with the bow going across the shoe.
i tie my laces the fancy pants way Kirby Allison demonstrated on his you tube channel. sorry im new here and dont know how to link things get. the basics are instead of one time around the loop you go twice around and then proceed as usual. since i started doing this my laces have never come untied by themselves. to release the knot just pull both tails at the same time
Lemmy seems to support markdown. You can link things by putting the text between square brackets and link between parentheses, what I actually put above was [markdown](https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax#links)
thank you
I just stick with Merrell slip-ons, no need for laces and you don't feel like a child with velcro.
Didn't know I needed this
