Just paint your foot??

I like going outside barefoot but this is just disgusting.
tdawg@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Damn I coulda saved money on getting my soles redone
Godric@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Soles redone: $IDK, ask the local Faeries whilst the cobbler naps.
Barefoot: $Priceless!

The store owner, standing in front of the “No Shirt, No Shoe, No Service” sign looking like:
(Btw, this is a great way to getting tetanus 🤭)
EffortlessEffluvium@lemm.ee 9 months ago
I avoid tetanus by not standing like this
Godric@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Tetanus is a disease made up by corporations to sell more anti-rust “solutions”! Hemoglobin is Oxygen bound to Iron, how could Oxygen bound to Iron hurt you???
throwawayacc0430@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
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.

That’s kind of disgusting.

It’s just seasoning.

ebolapie@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Based on my understanding of the state of the ground in cities, that is gross.

It’s absolutely disgusting!
buttnugget@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Not kind of! Lol
daannii@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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
buttnugget@lemmy.world 10 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?
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 10 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?
solarvector@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
I’d say dog pee is the least concerning thing on the list.
Also, parasites 😬

Why are you walking barefoot whilst constricting your toes that’s confusing me

That’s how you pick up all the soup ingredients for later.

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.Godric@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Thank you for calling my ass a nine, it’s mostly a strict diet of MacDonalds and Whiskey Sours!
That aside, become ungovernable.

I’ve seen this somewhere before and they are an influencer who really is all about being barefoot everywhere

People that walk around cities barefoot need to be avoided at all costs.
herrvogel@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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.
Etterra@discuss.online 10 months ago
Sounds like she was also mentally ill, dang.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
people who care this much about what others wear need to be avoided at all costs
nailbar@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
People who say people should be avoided at all cost, should be avoided at all cost.
No wait, I mean… 🤔
hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
illegal???
jol@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
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.
cmgvd3lw@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
Uncommon yes, but not illegal.

juliebean@lemm.ee 10 months ago
unless you’re in a place where human shit flows freely, that is not much of a concern. stores are usually not such places.

dbtng@eviltoast.org 10 months ago
Ok. I guess this was the additional detail that I needed. Don’t walk in human shit in order to avoid hookworms. Check. Noted.
MilitantAtheist@lemmy.world 10 months ago
City streets on the other hand
ninekeysdown@lemmy.world 10 months ago
That’s exactly what I was thinking. Humans suck at remembering history when they can’t see the consequences anymore.
Clent@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 months ago
Humans suck as remembering history?
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.
SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Also all the tire dust that is releasing chemicals onto the skin.

taiyang@lemmy.world 10 months ago
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
juliebean@lemm.ee 10 months ago
ugh, i hate that woo-woo “grounding” bullshit. gives the rest of the barefooters a bad name. honestly there’s so many good reasons to go unshod without bringing in magical nonsense.
CoolMatt@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Wanna get grounded, stick a fork in an electrical socket.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
#1 being that if i wore shoes in the summer i would have to periodically empty out the ocean of sweat in them
Geometrinen_Gepardi@sopuli.xyz 10 months ago
I once found a pair of barefoot running sandals online that were otherwise normal with rubber soles etc, but had a copper rivet inserted through the sole to facilitate that connection to earth.
Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
There are people who tie a wire around their toe to ground them to the earth when they sleep in bed… So

The linoleum floor of a supermarket is a godless abomination, further from mother nature than any other surface
undefined@lemmy.hogru.ch 10 months ago
Linoleum floor in a supermarket? Haven’t seen that in the US nor Mexico.
TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
‘linoleum’ is one of those words you read and immediately have to feel what its like to say
zakobjoa@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Connecting to some basic ass tile work.
wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Daring to call linoleum “tile work” is like calling a Walmart a “home”
psx_crab@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
Did they use wirebrush to wash their feet after arriving home?
juliebean@lemm.ee 10 months ago
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.
Noerknhar@feddit.org 10 months ago
I sometimes question if we are truly the same species.
agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
Once upon a time I was a barefoot hippie. If you extrapolate flip-flops down to their Platonic ideal, you can arrive at something you can fold up into your back pocket.
Walk_blesseD@piefed.blahaj.zone 10 months ago
Since when is it illegal? Nobody has ever raised any objection, let alone tried to stop me going dogs out to the shops.
Auth@lemmy.world 9 months ago
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.
