Not too far apart though … burglars will think there are two amputees living inside … who are more easier targets than one big fat overweight man who needs to spread their legs so wide apart that they have to comically place their boots far away from one another.

There’s an xkcd chart comic in here.

I know single women who live alone who leave a huge pair of battered old men’s workboots on the porch to deter creeps.

I would suggest everyone do this. Go to any second hand shop and get a cheap beaten up old pair of working shoes. A security company sticker by the front windows doesn’t hurt either.

What’s wrong with docs?

Awful QC, outsourced, animal abusing, lowest-grade leather, unrepairable, fast fashion boots. Solovair is the much better option, even if they’ve fallen in terms of quality and affordability post-COVID.

Modern requires solution problems
Dasus@lemmy.world 2 years ago
Idk about where you live but someone breaking in doesn’t seem like a modern problem to me.

Well, it does change. There are communities that shift from “everybody knows everybody” and the social control that comes with it to a more urbanized mentality. That makes it easier to break in in such places.
And what is modern? Cars are barely 200 years old and the increased mobility makes it easier for strangers to break into far away places.
