Can you imagine how long it takes to put on your socks and shoes in the morning if you are a millipede? I'd get pissed off half-way through and just start taking them off again. (I guess that's why we never see them in their shoes.) hmmm ever think about how... when millipedes "knock boots" .... that *a lot* of boots? š³(was internet was a mistake? here we are... sharing those random thoughts that are often forgotten.)

@futurebird Isnāt this addressed, but with a centipede, in āJames and the Giant Peachā? (The book, not the movie.)

@futurebird Finding two matching socks is hard enough. Can you imagine trying to find 400?

@futurebird I'd hate to be the millipede in the downstairs apartment.

@futurebird As a millipede, would you put on all your socks first, then your shoes, or would you put them on in batches (eg sock-shoe-sock-shoe or sock-sock-shoe-shoe-sock-sock-shoe-shoe)?

@darac @futurebird I would dovetail it exponentially: one sock one shoe, two socks two shoes, four socks four shoes and so on. That way, even if I turned out to have infinitely many feet, I could be sure that any finite number of feet would be fully shod in some finite amount of time, while also reaping the efficiency benefits of spending the majority of time repeating the same action.

@futurebird I'd think flip-flop thong footwear, if not for the godawful racket that would make.

@futurebird where would a millipede buy 500,000 pairs of boots and socks? I get stressed when I have to replace my work boots.
