That acid hitting ya hard ay?
That doesnt make it okay to lick them
What if they ask really nicely first
They lack intelligence. You must first determine if the feet can consent.
It's generally not okay to lick faces, either
"Oh, really?" said Devon, tilting his little toe dubiously.
Well no, expression is precisely a function of intelligence and the face has evolved specifically to pass non-verbal signals of that sort whereas the feet have not. However, I know whereof you speak and me and your mum are worried about you.
You were doing so well...
When I was in theater camp as a pre-teen, one of our actors was a very enthusiastic foot guy. I had heard of foot fetishes, but never understood them. But this guy was like an overexcited fan boy of feet. My curiosity triggered this guy into a huge brain dump, and one of the things he went on about about how feet were the "true expression of a person's feelings." Feet turned towards you? They like you. One foot pointed away? They don't. He then showed me how girls' feet would match their mood, so no matter what parts they were rehearsing, he could tell their underlying mood: anxiety, sadness, anger, happiness, etc... I have no idea if he was right, but that was my first exposure to another person's fetish. I could only understand it abstractly, but I found it fascinating.
Ew
A lot of people I meet everyday have uncorrupted faces as well.
This conversation just got Quasimodo-esque for a number of readers real fast.
Never really thought about it this way, but my wife's little piggies do have a lot of personality!
Everybody I know wears shoes, so, I couldn't say.

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. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.
Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:
- Both “200” and “160” are 2 minutes in microwave math
- When you’re a kid, you don’t realize you’re also watching your mom and dad grow up.
- More dreams have been destroyed by alarm clocks than anything else
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- No politics
- If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
- A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
- Posts must be original/unique
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS
If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.
Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.
