No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

We did growing up. Most people I know are indifferent minus a few friends. I don't wear them at home now, but I don't see the big deal in keeping them on once in a while.
Do you not have carpets or what?
I couldn’t imagine fucking up all my carpets and furniture over time from being too lazy to take shoes off.
Plus I just don’t understand how it’s comfortable to wear shoes all day long. I usually can’t wait to get home just so I can take my shoes off. I don’t feel like I can truly relax without them off.
Do you wear your shoes when you’re in bed and snuggling on the couch under a blanket too???
This thread is absolutely insane to me. I can’t imagine wearing shoes all around my house.
I can't imagine not because of the dirt issue but just because of how uncomfortable shoes are compared to just socks or sandals.
I haaaate wearing shoes…
Yes and what's best is we can be fully relaxed while having shoes on anywhere outdoor as an added benefit.
Savage!
I don't, no. Only one room in my house has carpet, and they're from the original owner and already gross anyway, and that room is a storage room. The rest of the house is hardwood (which needs to be redone) or linoleum.
It's not always laziness, I prefer just having my shoes on unless I've got my feet on the couch, then it's just socks. People have their own preferences, there's nothing wrong with that.
🤷♀️ Don't know, I just feel more comfortable in shoes an/or socks. I've never understood people who have to take their shoes and socks off as soon as they get home, you're just getting dust and dirt and whatever else all over your feet.
No, shoes don't go on the furniture, unless I'd get too high in the past and fall asleep with them on. They're warm and protect my feet.
I'll also add, I have a dog, so, to me, it's a moot point. He's not wearing shoes, and he's going to drag even worse stuff in the house on his paws, and I'm not cleaning his paws literally every time he's gotta go out and pee, so... 🤷♀️
Idk, I see all of the points people are making about why you shouldn't wear them inside, but I don't understand why people are acting like they've never even considered the concept of just... Wearing shoes inside? Like, to me, it's more astonishing (as a former chef) that people will cook barefoot, like, haven y'all never seen what hot oils can do to bare skin? That's insane to me, but I'm not losing my mind over the concept.
Same here. Wood floors, 2 dogs, 2 cats, 2 kids. I will still argue that wood floors are cleaner than carpet but cat litter, dogs don't wear shoes and it doesn't snow here or anything like that.
I just don't have the sort of controlled situation that people who ban shoes in house seem to have. Yes we wipe the dogs' paws before they come in in the summer when it's muddy and yes I have gardening boots that don't come inside, but I put on shoes when I get dressed. We do run the Roomba twice a day, have a biweekly cleaning service, central A/C with filters and an air purifier, it's not filthy by any means but the floor is the floor, we walk on it.
Like, if you are having a party and people are dressed up, they are barefoot? When they go on the back deck do they run to the front and grab their shoes then take them off again to come inside to grab a drink? Is it just that people up north are used to getting undressed when they come inside anyway so shoes are just like coats and scarves and hats to you? Like OP I have questions.
