This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I would call those normal footprints, not inverse footprints. We call both additive and subtractive marks left by feet "footprints."
If you were to step in ink, and then step onto paper, that would create a footprint.
If you were to step in drying concrete, that would also create a footprint.
That would also create a black eye because dude I just finished that
What if you step in ink and then in drying concrete? Double print!
Would an inverse footprint just be…the actual foot?
