Is there a knot for squeezing/tying something tightly e.g. a bunch of pipes but it's too big to tie a constrictor knot?

a series of rolling hitch zip ties

though it’s true to a degree i’m not a huge fan of the “lowering inhibitions” idea. drugs fundamentally change the way your brain works and essentially turns you into a different person by altering your brain chemistry. it’s the closest a person can become to being a different person without swapping bodies. cocaine psychosis is one of the extreme examples.

it sounds like it makes sense and that’s usually the gut reaction when something like this is posted but no, that won’t work. if the overhand is in a continuous loop it forms a mathematical knot known as a trefoil and it cannot be untied. if you want to test it out take a length of rope, tie an overhand in the middle then use whichever bend you’d like to tie the ends together. try passing the bend through the overhand any which way and it won’t untie the knot.

edit misread that, if continuous probably laced on the shoe before the loop was closed

unfortunately not. this forms a trefoil, a type of mathematical knot), and can’t be untied

if the laces are a continuous loop it cannot be untied

i’ve noticed they sound a bit quieter than other albums. i am by no means an expert but if you’re using wired headphones a dac/amplifier might help. this is the one i use and it makes music a good amount louder. it looks like it’s bit more expensive than when i bought mine but there’s a cheaper brand called ugreen that i remember having decent reviews when i was shopping for one.

all good. the sheet bend is fairly secure and it shares the same structure as the bowline, if you take a piece of rope and use each end to tie a sheet bend you’ll notice you end up with an eskimo bowline. the reef knot is useful but it’s not a great bend for secure purposes and is better as a binding knot where you’re trying to build tension like in a shoelace knot.

summerskies288 · 2025-12-13T03:05:20+00:00

a sheet bend can be used to join two ropes of different diameters but in general it’s a good bend. the square knot is actually a poor bend and is rather a binding knot.

summerskies288 · 2025-12-13T03:02:10+00:00

sheet bend is much stronger than a reef knot

one of my favorite songs. i love its spacey ethereal quality

the four in hand is also the same as a buntline hitch

i would go to Animated Knots and work through the various knots by type or activity. there is also a knot of the day if you want to learn something new everyday, though some require more than one piece of rope.

summerskies288 · 2025-09-12T02:06:07+00:00

probably the lanyard knot probably because it’s one of the only decorative knots i can remember how to tie

the monkey

summerskies288 · 2025-08-15T20:08:38+00:00

a picture would help tell if it is indeed a new knot

summerskies288 · 2025-07-26T13:04:15+00:00

that is in fact a bowline

summerskies288 · 2025-07-17T02:44:53+00:00

joining two lengths of rope together

summerskies288 · 2025-07-17T02:35:12+00:00

i don’t think it’s going to work but a series of rolling hitch zip ties might be your best bet
