I think I'm the odd man out here, I'm always fully dressed at home. My wife never understands why I wear shoes in her house, but my feet are cold and I'm not going to buy another pair of shoes (slippers) when I already have shoes that are perfectly warm and comfortable.
In German, slipper is Hausschuhe, literally “home-shoes”. I have two pairs of shoes, one for the exterior of the house, and one (my slippers) for the interior of the house, because my exterior-shoes are dirty with exterior-things, when my home-shoes stay clean. Cleanliness is the only reason I have slippers.
Sorry to tell you but your house floor is still dirty. With the flesh from your body, the debris from entropy dissolving your possessions, even with outside things like tyre dust and petrol fumes and pollen and evaporated dog piss. If your shoes are wiped to where they look clean, wearing them indoors isn't going to make much difference. And you should always assume every floor is dirty when you make a 5-second rule decision. Now excuse me, I gotta go swiff my floors.
and this is the reason why bird flu is gonna make you look ridiculous
Changing shoes is not going to protect you from bird flu. It's respiratory like regular flu and COVID and RSV, all of which are why I KN95 up when going indoors around people away from home.
so do I, but trailing in bird shit certainly doesn't help
