probably

[Cathalos]

hypothetically, what would stop you?

[shyshy]

hypothetically, what would stop you?

if i didnt wear the hat

[Cathalos]

hmm, clever. why do people have to wear shoes?

[shyshy]

hmm, clever. why do people have to wear shoes?

ever step on a barnacle? thats why

[Cathalos]

no. whats the problem with stepping on a barnacle?

[shyshy]

no. whats the problem with stepping on a barnacle?

wait, you have never stepped on a barnacle? must never go to the beach...

well see, barnacles are like filter feeders that live in an armoured shell, but the shell is razor sharp, pointy and jagged. so stepping on them INEVITABLY tears your feet open. believe me, i have stepped on them countless times and my feet are COVERED in scars that will never go away because of stepping on these nasty buggers.

[Cathalos]

i used to go to the beach a lot.

but i mean in places like schools and everywhere else. pretty sure there aren't any barnacles in safeway.

science (biology) class 2 weeks ago:

>kid drops a beaker and it breaks.

>teacher had to clean it up

>glass is sharp

>not wearing shoes: OW MY FOOT

'course my feet are so callused they feel like sandpaper. i can stand ontop a fire pit for (my record time is:) 41 seconds

[Cathalos]

natural selection. the butterfingers pays with his foot, and that somehow keeps him from passing on his beaker dropping traits. the future generation drops less beakers and people save money by not buying shoes.

how is this not a perfect plan/way of looking at it?

because that is not natural selection that is "co-evolution" (evolution of a single species' behaviors via adaptation).

[Cathalos]

is that the only issue then?

[shyshy]

is that the only issue then?

well no, but i dont wish to write an article on human interactions/mannerisms/behaviors and the importance of maintaining such things to a common standard for survival.

[Cathalos]

so are shoes then directly connected to survival? what did we do before them?

[shyshy]

so are shoes then directly connected to survival? what did we do before them?

no they are not, however they are an innovation that have advanced our species and it's chances of survival.

before shoes i suppose we stepped on poison and died

[Cathalos]

do you just leave poison lying around?

[shyshy]

do you just leave poison lying around?

nope

[Cathalos]

you know what? i dont really mind shoes. in the end. its a minor major inconvenience trading off for survival. which i suppose is a good trade. sort of. the real issue here must be SOCKS! what do they do thats so important?

socks are cute :3

[Cathalos]

what makes you think that? they're socks. you put them on your feet. and then rub them on the ground all day. or the inside of your shoes. which is stinky.

not those kind of socks. AND they are necessary to prevent athlete's foot.

[Cathalos]

[shyshy]

[Cathalos]
