i'm in a community for minimalist shoes/barefooting and this shit is the bane of our existence, every now and then someone joins and starts talking about grounding and it's miserable how few people are willing to firmly call it out as batshit nonsense

people seemingly can't do something unusual without a magical justification, "it feels nice" or "it's what we're evolved for" isn't enough, it's gotta be all spiritual and pseudoscientific apparently.
