I know this because of phineas and ferb
Justice League Unlimited, animated series from the mid aughts, for me. The Question played by Jeffrey Combs was amazing!
Exactly what I was thinking of. I’d still like to know what the real, sinister purpose of aglets are.
They break down faster than your shoe string and spread microplastics. Just my guess.
I am reminded of this term about once a year and then promptly forget because it never comes up except in internet memes.

Are you kidding me? Has usb D dropped already??
The Simpsons told me what an aglet is years ago.
The question is, do you know what this is?
An awl? Am I missing something?
Home Improvement is where I learned that, hence the picture of Wilson, who’s the one who brought it up.
That’s a Wilson.

They’re clearly words. Letters if you want to be more specific.
That’s a pretty cool unrelated picture of aglets, though. Totally random lol
Aglets & I got to know this from Phineas & Ferb

Looks like Sandstorm by Darude
Okay I’ll bite,
The rude who?
Telomeres, right? Then why is nobody saying telomeres?
Telomeres are a structure on DNA. These things, aglets, are a common metaphor used to describe the function of telomeres as aglets basically do for shoelaces what telomeres do for DNA
Reverse the metaphor.

Aka if you don’t watch phineas and ferb, you’re not my friend
“The plastic tips at the end of shoe laces are called aglets. Their true purpose is sinister.”
Ah, I have heard the name of those before.
Egrets, right?
Get that AI slop out of my face before I block you.
