This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

It's fun. Try it. (The barefoot walking - not the feces throwing...)
At least the designated barefoot paths are risk-free, but maybe also try taking a few barefoot steps through a lush pine forest or so.
Even just strolling without shoes across a stretch of grass is a really nice experience!
Walking through my yard or in a park is one thing, on a trail? No thanks.
