Wear leveling socks is a critical challenge for me. Unlike larger clothes, socks don’t stack easily, so defy conventional methods of stock rotation.

How do you approach this? Would it make sense to buy one of those shelf springs that grocery stores use to keep boxes towards the from of the shelf?

You need "Socks as a Service" (we could call it "SaaS") - every day someone drops off a new pair of socks and picks up your previous pair.

If you pay for a premium plan then no multi-tenanting and only you get to wear any particular pair of socks.

That sounds intriguing as I like not deciding. On the other hand, I'm sure SaaS has some premium over buying outright. Since I already have the capital outlay of a washer and drier and weekly time blocked for laundry of which socks is a very small percentage, I'm not certain if it would make sense.

On the other hand, if there is a "complete casual work from home uniform" service, that might be worth it as long as some VCs are subsidizing it like its 2019.

Heck, anything is worth it if VCs are subsidising it like it's 2019.
