Kagrenak posted:What hell land do you live in where this is a common enough practice to see it with some regularity? I'm pretty sure that if you don't see people doing it, you're not people watching very much in the grocery store. People have been licking their fingers and touching groceries long before today.

What the hell are you guys talking about. Grown-rear end adult people don't go around licking their fingers in the store.

I find fresh cherry pits in the cherry pile in supermarkets pretty often and I assume everything is covered in human spit all the time. But I don't worry about the spit that much. It's usually not infectious. The real problem is that the overwhelming majority of shopping cart handles are covered in fecal pathogens, i.e. they are smeared with human poo poo and people move it from the cart handle to the produce. Nowadays I consider my hands to be contaminated after touching anything in public and after I started doing that many years ago I also immediately stopped getting gastrointestinal infections aka "food poisoning". It has absolutely been worth it to be a germophob about this for me. I don't think we will ever be able to get humans to wash their hands after making GBS threads, so wrapping everything in plastic and then slowly getting infertile and schizophrenic from microplastic accumulation in the body seems to be the only viable solution to the problem. It is what it is

I mean, if you've only recently figured out it's a good idea to wash your hands before preparing food and eating and stuff, especially but not necessarily if you've been outside, and you used to get sick regularly before then I don't know what to tell you.

That's not enough. That's my point. Everything you touched with contaminated hands is potentially also contaminated, so you have to clean your phone, headphones, keys, door handles, etc. every time you come home too or you would spread the fecal matter in your home. And you cannot touch your face or any mucous membranes with infected fecal matter on your hands without risking infection. You basically have to create a hygiene lock between the safe space of your home and public spaces. And all of that because people can't wash their hands after making GBS threads. Escape From Noise posted:I'm a pretty grimy bastard and have only gotten food poisoning once that I can remember. I couldn't eat yangnyeom chicken for a while. Gastrointestinal infections are like one of the most common illnesses there is and there are millions and millions of cases every single year. Also IIRC it's something like the most common cause of death worldwide, especially for children.

Never seen anyone use it after the pandemic was over. And anyway, the problem isn't the fecal matter on your own handle. The problem is the fecal matter on the produce you buy and you can just wipe the cherries down with bleach when you are at home.

Also, there's bacteria and poo poo literally everywhere which, unless you have a problem with your immune system, shouldn't be much of a problem if you take care not to ingest large amounts by, for example, taking the above precautions. Even if you got a wish granted and everybody was a clean as you want them to be there would still be bacteria and poo poo everywhere, just in small enough amounts for your body to be able to fight off. Your home isn't a safe space at all, lmao. You think your farts don't spread fecal particles? Let alone how many are spread every time you flush the toilet after taking a poo poo, even with the lid down. This is why washing your hands is considered basic hygiene and taught to kids.

I'm just wondering how bad someone's personal hygiene was that they stopped having issues when they discovered basic precautions like washing your hands, literally taught to toddlers, only a short while ago, well into adulthood, but then blame others.

Dip Viscous posted:It starts off as people licking their fingertips to turn pages in a book because they haven't figured out you can just grab the edge of the paper instead of pinching the surface, then it expands to licking their fingers before grabbing produce bags from the roll in the grocery store, then it expands to licking whole hands before touching anything without thought given to why. I only lick my fingers to smooth my eyebrows

Actual health experts say it's very important and there is that little sign in every public bathroom asking you to do it and everyone who sees you leaving without washing thinks you are a huge rear end in a top hat. You could very well kill someone with your behavior one day and I'm not even joking.

Dip Viscous posted:E: people pulling down their masks just to lick their hands before touching things really stuck out to me during 2020-2022 masking and now I can't unsee it happening constantly at the grocery store. What I do is I breathe slowly through my mask onto the bag/my fingers just like you're trying to see your breath outside in the winter. I get enough moisture so it works just fine.

I don't know if I'd call having one big poo poo every few days "regular". The toilets at the job I'm now only part time at for another month or so now has mold growing on the walls. It's really fuckin' gross and you can smell it immediately it's so thick in the air. It's wild how lovely that restaurant has gotten since I started working there 5 years ago.
