She touched grass
Only after reading the comments do I realise it’s about crushing flowers.
I thought it was about how when you run through the tall grass with no shoes as a kid you can get effectively paper cuts between your toes haha.
I internallly winced at seeing this photo picture remembering all the times as a kid
“Hello, hookworms. Get in my feet.”
Having your bare feet in the grass feels so goddamn good and I’m tired of pretending that it doesn’t feel great
having your bare feet on the ground generally feels way better, with the exception of dark surfaces in the summer and, like, any outdoor surface in the winter.
Even the most miserable jagged gravel can sorta start feeling nice when you’ve taken some years to build up thicker soles, then it becomes like those spike mats people lay on.
I disagree, but I’m allergic to grass. However, if you like it, there should be no reason to pretend you don’t.
I love seeing all the people get mad that they can’t do this now that my local city has effectively banned visitors during flower season :)
You can still see it from afar, but a bunch of people got mad because they drove over two counties to trample and crowd the flower fields for their own selfish desires only to find that the area has been blocked off completely to cars and people.
Get fucked in the nicest way possible. Enjoy it from a distance like a normal person so everyone else can enjoy it and so the damn flowers can keep coming back each year.
Somewhere in TX?
All the people killing the Bluebonnets, trampling them for photo ops, or even dangerously stopping in breakdown lanes on the freeway to access Bluebonnets in the median for more pics.
My friend doesn’t get it.
Hypothesis: the message seems to imply that the cliche nature lover needs to trample and destroy said nature to be close to it.
This seems the most likely explanation to me.
And I find it neither funny nor insightful.
Edit: I can’t manage to copy paste usernames on mobile but please check out the refinement by the comment to this post. Highly valuable edition. Tldr of it: not “nature lovers” in general but social media invasive nature lovers.
It’s not so much nature lovers but social media “content creators” who are criticized here.
There was a case I read of a man caring for a beautiful patch of flowers, but then it got famous on social media and those assholes went there in buses, took pictures lying in there and destroyed it. Heartbreaking to read about that one. Sadly I can’t find that specific case anymore, but there are enough articles about the problem, like this one.
Oh. That would explain the hashtags. I’ll edit my comment to point out yours!
Thanks!
Few people understand why I glare them after obliterating a perfectly nice patch of flowers.
I thought the joke was about the common mutation where your second toe is longer than your big toe.
Your explanation makes way more sense.
I thought it was a foot fetish thing
I thought city folk didn’t like that feeling of grass tickling your feet.
You mean it’s not the grass poking between your toes?
Grass poking was what I thought too.
I mean, I like the feeling of grass between my toes.
This really depends on the type of grass and time of year
I think we can assume that this is spring/early summer, but yeah - you aren’t wrong. I can’t see myself enjoying grass between my toes if I have to shove my bare feet through a meter of snow.
are people traipsing through planted lilies or what?
Very common, at least here in California, for there to be nice blooms of flowers that people decide to obliterate so they can take pictures for social media. By the time the 80th troglodyte traipses through the flowers, they’ve ruined it for everyone else that might enjoy them - and the flowers are fucked.
I can almost guarantee that this is the point of the comic. The only other interpretation I’ve seen that I can accept is that it’s actually about the grass between your toes, which some people dislike.
why would they need to trample them to take photos?
Because they aren’t interested in the flowers, they’re interested in how they look with the flowers all around them. It’s a selfish act for vain individuals.
I weirdly see a lot of these “yes…but…” Comics everywhere and I don’t get like 90% of them tbh.
This is the first one I’ve seen so I guess I’m at 0%. 😭
I thought this is about liking feet
I’m always more concerned about the ticks tbh
And ants. I see all the crawling things on the grass/ground when I do yardwork at home, how much more in an open field.
