SUMMARY

This discussion centers on the topic of superhuman strength in feet, specifically addressing claims of extraordinary foot abilities and their credibility. Participants express skepticism regarding the assertion of feet naturally smelling like "roses washed by a spring rain," citing a lack of scientific evidence. Additionally, a poll revealing that 25% of college students admitted to chewing their toenails adds a humorous yet gross perspective to the conversation. The thread highlights the need for a dedicated discussion on foot-related feats and abilities.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of human anatomy and biomechanics
  • Familiarity with common foot-related health issues
  • Knowledge of social psychology regarding personal habits
  • Awareness of cultural perceptions of body image and hygiene
NEXT STEPS

  • Explore studies on foot odor and its causes
  • Investigate the psychological factors behind unusual personal habits
  • Examine cultural attitudes towards foot hygiene and aesthetics

When I saw that the Feats of Superhuman Strength thread was active in S&D, it struck me that we need a thread dedicated to feets, as well.

Personally, my feet smell like roses washed by a spring rain.

I don't believe there is anything superhuman about your claim. I will submit that you washed your feet with something using that fragrance, or used a lotion of some sort. There is no scientific evidence to support that one's feet would naturally smell of "roses washed by a spring rain."
 
I read once that 25% of college students polled admitted to chewing their toenails and/or big toe cuticles. It didn't mention what their feet smelled like.

That's so flippin' gross!

Whoa. Well I give them kudos for their honesty -- and flexibility.
 
My niece is an artist in ceramics and performs feats of clay.
 
I can walk on my tip toes for half a mile.
