A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics
- NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
- Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
- Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

Walk barefoot, toughen up your feet. I prefer having thumbs and hands to paws.
I mean honestly this is the answer. I used to long board barefoot as a teenager and I also ran track. Often ran barefoot. By the time I was 16 I could walk on some glass without bleeding.
TBF, walking on glass is a fairly common sideshow trick
True dat
Yeah shoes were optional for a solid chunk of change of my lifetime and I used to have some real rough feet and damn do I miss them =P! How do you do nowadays? I am still pretty minimalist. I like the heel of my shoes to be as thin as I can take them. But hiking, when I use those minimalist shoes I keep torturing myself my poking a fat rock right into a nerve that sends pain rushing up my being =P! I don't think I'll ever have it like I used to.
Lol yeah I'm pretty much the same. I try to keep slim shoes for everyday wear but I need boots for any rocky hiking. The only rough part left on my foot is my heel.
Hahaha! Mine too! I could put a tack in that back part =P! But the rest is like a little soft girl =P!
Yup! I didn’t wear shoes much when I lived at the beach and I got to the point where I could walk on hot asphalt or through broken glass without even noticing.
