Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

When did we become afraid of eating off the floor? (lemm.ee)

Maybe this is a cultural thing, but the idea of a solid food hitting the floor and it suddenly being off-limits is alien to me. I was taking a pill for pain this morning. I dropped it on the floor and picked it up and swallowed it with water anyways, and a classmate I was with had this reaction like I had just eaten a worm. Does it supposedly cause illness or bad luck, because I've never gotten any in all my years...

Because the floor is dirty.

You never know if some disgusting nazi have walk across those same floors. Especially ones who defend billionaires ceo nazis.

But sure, if you wanna eat of the floor where a nazi boot have stepped on, or even want to lick that floor, go ahead, your choice.

You got me baffled; how would that connect with foot/footwear filth? Have you had an encounter with the type of person you refer to?
