"Hookwoorms, get in my feet please!"

Also all the tire dust that is releasing chemicals onto the skin.

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 18 points 11 months ago

definitely don't think about what breathing it in does to you :)

[-] Nitchevo@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Totally!! Glad those closed toe shoes are saving us all! /s just in case

[-] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 11 months ago

also like, yes i'm sure our soles have evolved to be great absorbtion pads, not like we'd ever step on bad things in the wild

[-] juliebean@lemm.ee 23 points 11 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.

SOMEBODY'S never been to a Ross Dress For Less, I see...

[-] ultranaut@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Its funny you say this because I once went in a Ross with my wife and someone had taken a monster shit in one of the aisles. It was absolutely horrific. I think about it every time she wants to go to Ross now. I don't think I've gone in one with her since.

Ross is the answer to someone asking, "what if JCPenney but in a demilitarized zone?"

[-] MilitantAtheist@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

City streets on the other hand

[-] dbtng@eviltoast.org 4 points 11 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.

Canine worm can spread to humans and can cause blindness

[-] ninekeysdown@lemmy.world 17 points 11 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 2 points 11 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.
