Many.

Some with no pair to go with.

I live in hope that the missing one might appear somehow.

My socks appear to be some kind of communal item.

A Marxist regime has been established and they have been appropriated in the ongoing revolutionary struggle against capitalism.

Personal sock property is a bourgeoisie concept; refusal to accept this makes one a counter-revolutionary and an enemy.kf the state. All men caught in possession of socks will be required to attend a re-education centres in Siberia.

Check down the side of your sofa. If you don't find a spare sock lying around you shall find a pound.

I have absolutely no idea. I always buy the same kind and colour, so there can be an amorphous, unknowable, endless bundle of ‘sock matter’ in my drawer. I take two from the top, they’re always a matching pair.

As another person of interest in this thread, I am reporting my sock quantity of eight.

Three of those sock liner looking things that don’t show in shoes.

Four sports ones.

One thermal knee high pair for winter.

You'd need to be more specific before I can give an accurate answer. Are we talking short socks, long socks, ankle socks, sports socks, compression socks, aero socks, UCI legal bike socks or triathlon socks, summer socks, winter socks, hand knitted wool socks? Fully paired socks or odd socks?

I just have socks. I treat all my socks the same, so not to discriminate against the ones with holes in.

I'm more for Popper's negative utilitarian principle.

They're doing better already, for clothes they don't need mine too.

30 pairs. Plain Black. All identical.

This guarantees that when 2 socks are pulled from the drawer in a still-waking-up head space, they will match.

It also means shopping for socks is easy. Plain. Black. Same brand.

I value simplicity and pragmaticism.

Missing socks disappear in a dimensional vortex caused by washing machine spin cycles.

I once had those black socks with different colours on the toes and heel and would match the colour to the jumper/t-shirt I was wearing that day
