  i have lost mucho sleep over the fact that even holding my breath while using an air dryer doesn’t prevent poop gems being blasted into my pores 💀

    poop gems

    The fecal mist lingering in public toilets is real. That’s why one should always flush with a closed lid.

      You ever seen an airtight toilet lid? That ain’t doing shit against aerosolized fecal particulates. Don’t worry though, no one’s gets sick just breathing the air in a bathroom, most public toilets in America don’t even have lids. If “fecal mist” was an actual health risk, the science would be well in by now, the patterns would be unavoidable and ubiquitous. Maybe if you lick the walls where the bathroom air condensates you might get sick, but most people are reasonable enough not to do that just by instinct.

      Mythbusters tested this. With the lid open or closed, poop particles were detectable in every room of a house after a flush. The lid does nothing.

  At some point you’ll need to settle on an acceptable level of germs or lose your mind totally

    This is true. The Mythbusters episodes about double dipping tortilla chips in salsa and about leaving your toothbrush in the bathroom convinced me that the entire world is covered in an invisible layer of poo and there’s nothing I can do about it, so I’ve got to just try to accept it.

      this is kinda funny because I was in microbiology and you rarely saw anyone there who was middle ground with germs. The knowledge either made them super casual about it or super rigid. I worked in labs where the professor kept his zip locked sandwich from home in the fridge that had the salmonella samples. I would have my dews in there but I did wipe them down with 95% ethanol before drinking.
