Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Community Guidelines

By following these rules, we can maintain a diverse and informative community. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out to the moderators. Thank you for contributing responsibly!

Imagine bringing home your date and they take off their jacket just to show off the chest warmer.

Misread this as Elven Ways to tie a Scarf. Now I'm sad Legolas isn't going to gimme drip.

[–] RGB3x3@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

I thought it was 11 ways to tie a tie and thought it must have been a shit post when I saw the fourth one.

[–] Revonult@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I was about to comment this!

[–] sbv@sh.itjust.works 3 points 3 months ago

We need more fashion advice from mythological races.

I like how one of the ways to tie the scarf is "just don't tie it".

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago

That's the one I typically use. Didn't even know (or care) it had an official place in scarf tying culture.

It seems to me that if you are going to include 4-in-hand, a traditional necktie knot, then you should include these: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_85_Ways_to_Tie_a_Tie (at a minimum) and possibly reference this: https://phys.org/news/2014-02-mathematicians-ways.html (177,147 ways). 😀

Thank you for providing the references, I was not aware of these!

[–] jadero@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No problem! I was once at a place that imposed a mandatory necktie policy. I hate neckties, so I thought I'd at least have fun with it. I wore ties as silly and varied as I could get away with and tied them different every day. That book was a boon.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Did you try the Back To The Future double tie?

[–] jadero@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 months ago

I did not. I did only single-tie systems for mathematical purity. (Just kidding. I might have tried it if I had thought to!)

[–] half_built_pyramids@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I used to do Paris, 4 in hand looks legit

[–] johannesvanderwhales@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

4 in hand is just a standard tie knot applied to a scarf.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

A lot of those are just fancy nooses that can be used against you in a fight.

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

People can grab your hair and clothing in a fight too. It's best to go around naked and fully shaved in case someone decides to attack. Add a coating of oil for extra protection.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

That's a great idea unless you're a Brazilian jujitsu fighter, then you want them to grab you so you can do fancy locks and break their fingers.

[–] morphballganon@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Apparently the thing I do is called a Parisian knot. Neat.

[–] Pringles@lemm.ee 3 points 3 months ago

Reverse drape tuck ftw

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

I didn't check the community name and fully expected one of these to be a noose.

[–] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Where's the Windsor knot?

[–] therealjcdenton@lemmy.zip 1 points 3 months ago

That's a weird way to spell scarf
