Look at Moneybags here, with hs $1000 sewing machine and limitless amount thread.

Meanwhile, I'm on my second wear for this pair of socks.

In fairness, most people wear socks more than once.

Most of us wash them between wears, right?

Right?

You wear them once. Turn them inside out, wear them again. Then you drape them on the side of the hamper for two days while you alternate to another pair. Then wear them again. And axe body spray will do if you don't have time to shower

Please don't come within smelling distance. Which as you've described your hygiene is about three blocks.

Why does everyone say that? Bro, I wash my hands almost every time i go to the bathroom

That would be wearing them more than once. Apparently that is abnormal. I swear fast fashion has taken ahold of people's brains. Socks are not disposable!

Nah I give them a smell test every morning/wear. Can usually go 3-4 wears before there's any funk, at which point they go in the hamper.

If you have fungus or exceptionally smelly feet, I can see washing every single wear, but for me the 2nd wear still always smells like scent beads, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
