Apparently being barefoot is a real threat to y’all.

Seems like it is for some unknown reason.
I was also really surprised by the instant negativity and the amount of downvotes this totally (at least) mildly interesting post received.

Perhaps a cultural thing coming to light because of the time it was posted?

I often perceive a stark change of general views and shift of popular and unpopular discussion topics once America (meaning mainly the US) mostly takes over Lemmy during my subjective nighttime.

This effect let me surprised and slightly flabbergasted many times in the past already.

Also you don't have to hike a mountain trail or something extreme to feel connected or whatever. I spent a big chunk of my early life with relatives p far from civilization and walking barefoot on warm asphalt, soil, grass or sand was nice.

I'm another fellow barefoot-indoors-and-minimal-sole-whenever-possible-without-causing-a-ruckus and, yeah, ruckus happens weirdly often...
