It was a typical Wednesday afternoon in 221 BCE, and Emperor Qin Shi Huang had just decreed the construction of the Great Wall, a monumental feat of engineering that would make him look great on LinkedIn.
Unbeknownst to the emperor, however, was that a secret society of time-traveling socks had been observing his every move from the shadows. These socks had been imbued with the power of teleportation and were using their abilities to alter the course of history.
As the sun began to set on the ancient Chinese landscape, a particularly adventurous sock named Charlie decided to make his move. He teleported himself to the emperor's chambers, where he found himself face to face with the ruler of the land.
The emperor, taken aback by the sudden appearance of a talking sock, was initially perplexed. Charlie, however, was not one to waste time. He presented the emperor with a series of absurd and ridiculous demands, including the construction of a massive temple dedicated to the worship of socks.
The emperor, still trying to wrap his head around the concept of time-traveling socks, decided to humor Charlie and agreed to his demands. And so, the Temple of the Sock Gods was built, a grand monument to the power of these mystical foot coverings.
