    Nah, kinda the worst time really. Take a good look at society right now and one could argue we utterly failed and should reject it.

          My feet are uncomfortable without socks. Yes, even when it's hot.

            Some social constructs exist for a good reason. Part of growing is learning to tell which are good and which are bad.

              Technically clothes are a social construct.

              Religion as well.

                Dad: Boning your mom is a social construct.

                Mom: The fuck you just say about me?

                Dad: Uh...

                      See, I dunno about that one. I have a very strange and almost primal urge to feed kids. I think it's generic programming.

                        Socks keep your shoes from absorbing sweat and help prevent blisters. They’re useful beyond the social construct.

                        I don't know what the social aspect is apart from how the socks appear, but this isn't why they exist.

                        Edit: Damn. Some of you are threatened by not knowing what a social construct is but really want to argue about socks instead of asking DDG so you can understand wtf is going on before leaving a comment.

                        I'd be proud of this shit show, OP 🀣

                                I think something being dumb is a perfectly valid reason to not do the thing.

                                      if you didn't wear socks then you'll have to wash your shoes daily or risk getting something like a yeast infection of the foot or athletes foot.

                                          Clothes as a concept started with utilitarian purposes like staying warm or cool. There are a lot of social constructs around clothes including when and what is worn in what contexts, but not the reason they exist in the first place.
