  This looks gross, but im also so confused at the amount of people saying walking barefoot is dangerous and gross. Walking barefoot is not to bad in my city its pretty clean and there is lots of grass.

      True. I never work a mask in 2020 and I turned out just fine. Don’t even understand how tiny crown shaped object or whatever woke shit they make up could even hurt me. I survived just fine. A “crown” virus? LMFAO. I wear my crown 👑 like a king 🤴, wtf is a mini crown RNA bullshit, complete utter nonsense.

  Back in my hippie days, we would do a little trick. You get some hemp. Few beads. Whatever. Tie it around your big toe then loop it around your ankle. So it looks like you are wearing flip flops at a glance.

  Did it all the time.

    i tried to do it for a summer as a kid in a rural area and my feet got very gross indeed and I had a lot of painful experiences. but I feel that’s the only way to do it safely, to be a kid in a small safe rural place where there is like grass to walk on

    source
  • buttnugget@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    The thing about this I don’t understand is why. Is it supposed to be to exist in as much of a natural state as possible?

    source

    • uberfreeza@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I just like the way it feels. Though because of all the risks, I wouldn’t do it except at home or similar environments.

    • Glifted@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Not a barefoot person but I’ve heard it claimed that its better for your feet. Seems off to me but its not like we evolved shoes so what do I know?

  That is so asinine. Don’t go places that require shoes or just wear shoes if you have to.
  Or, get body paint and paint on a pair of shoes. At least that takes some skill and you don’t look like a spoiled jerk.

    I once saw a girl very abruptly stop walking on a rather busy street, throw herself down on a nearby bench in a hurry, take out her stuff from her tote bag and just start knitting with an oddly peaceful expression on her face as if nothing happened. I was left wondering what the fuck I just witnessed. Happened in the span of like 4 seconds.

    Yes she was barefoot.

  illegal???

    Stores can’t dictate what’s legal, so this is not illegal. It’s just not allowed under some store rules, but the most they can do is kick you out.

      Hookworms isn’t why stores require shoes. It’s because of hippies. Laws typically require employees to wear shoes and even then it depends on the workplace.

  There is an actual belief out there that your feet get some sort of power by connecting to mother nature barefoot. It’s insane woo nonsense, but that meme lifehack literally would be something they might do, lol

  Did they use wirebrush to wash their feet after arriving home?

    some barefooters like not washing their feet. personally, i don’t get that. if my feet are dirty when i get home, i just wash them in the sink real quick. don’t need any special tools; hands, water, a bit of soap, and maybe a washcloth will be plenty.
