    It’s stairs we didn’t have before 2014. Everyone just used ladders.

      Luckily builders would set aside space in buildings just in case someone had an idea for how to move between floors without a ladder. Made retrofitting stairs a breeze. You can’t even tell that they were added later most of the time.

      Meanwhile in Alabama, things are so backwards there they haven’t even figured out shoes yet! It’s not like they prefer sandals or they’re too poor to afford shoes. They all go around barefoot, because the idea of shoes just has never occured to any of them. Most buildings instead have special brush ledges so you can scrape the dirt and blood off your feet before you walk in. Again, they’re just a hopelessly backwards people. So backwards, they haven’t even figured out shoes yet. Their cousins over in Mississippi are a bit further along. MSU currently has a study going where they’re experimenting with wrapping feet in ziplock bags, secured with rubber bands.
