meanwhile sweden is aiming at a sustainable living, with the goal to go with 0% vehicle emissons by 2030(we have the energy net and capacity for it) and 0% total emissons by 2050,
How to tell if you are ready for parenthood: The Lego Test
Instructions: Take one 55 gallon drum of upholstery tacks and spread them across the floor. Now walk across the room whilst not screaming, because you don't want to wake the baby.

Seriously, I never understood all that complaining about how painful stepping on Lego is. I've done that all the time - single pieces, several pieces, the entire pile (I had a large plastic chest full to the brim) - and it never really hurt me. Does everybody but me have pedicured feet with zero callus?
@Narf
"How can this be true, when it hasn't happened to me?"
But being fair, there's couple of possibilities why you haven't experience the joy of lego sticking up from your foot.
Firstly you might have not walked over them unintentionally. Walking over red hot coals is quite easy when you know you're going to step over it. It's a whole different story when you walk over a dying campfire without noticing. Same goes with legos.
Second you might have the usual blocky blocks that most of the time have been just flat on the ground. The little pips on the top of legos aren't problematic or even the flat bottom with the empty innards. It's the hard corners that jab into your foot like caltrops when you aren't paying enough attention.
Third... You just have hobbit feet. Good for you.
Personally I don't like walking over legos, there have been bad moments with them and my feet. And I'm not alone with those experiences... So... Either we are all lying, or it's in some bizarre, reality breaking way possible. I'm voting for it being a real thing.

1) I did. Lots of times. I'd just dump out my treasure chest in the middle of the room and not clean them up for days, often over a week, while I was building stuff. There were lots of times when I forgot and stepped on them. Especially in the mornings.
2) Also not possible. I stepped on them in pretty much every possible combination.
3) Nah, pretty much normal feet.
I have a 4th option: you're all whiny little babies who've never stepped a foot outside and have soft baby feet from sitting inside all day :p
Just kidding. I was mostly an indoors child myself and spent large parts of my time reading. So I certainly don't have steeled feet.
@Narf
I've actually taken my fair few barefoot walksies outside.
Perks of having been a countryboy. Haven't needed to be wary of glass shards and only needles to poke your feet have been from pines.
And I still consider walking over Legos more hardcore than going over hot coals. So kudos to you, friend.
@Velgar Maybe it's a cultural thing.
Just as the Americans can scoff at our stinging nettles, because they have poison ivy, we British scoff at Lego injuries, because we have the Three Pin Mains Plug.
Norway: See, this is how I’m going to save myself from becoming a collection of Mad Max-style Neo-Vikings if the apocalypse comes.
(Meanwhile, across the North Sea)
England: Why do I have a feeling of dread and the urge to start building up burghs again?
