Would be annoying to have a bell ringing constantly throughout the dinner

My mom cut this out of a newspaper and had it hanging in her bathroom for about 20 years.

If you pee on your hands you pee and wash them at the same time.

[-] GregorTacTac@lemm.ee 20 points 8 months ago

Hmmmm, yes, very wise.

Didn't he see the sign when he walked in?

He was distractedly detangling his wedgie.

Too dumb to read

My favorite is when they quickly splash some water on their hands and walk out like deep down they don’t believe they’re lying to themselves

Dental Denial: just using mouthwash without brushing or flossing. Must be a handwashing equivalent.

[-] AceFuzzLord@lemm.ee 16 points 8 months ago

Okay, as someone who isn't a germaphobe or anything like it, I'm a firm believer that's it's absolutely disgusting, regardless of who does it, to not wash your hands after going to the bathroom in general.

I believe it's pretty ingrained in Muslim and Jewish culture to wash the hands frequently.

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 9 points 8 months ago

Used to work in a courthouse where jurors would be kept waiting and had access to the public restrooms.

The sheer volume of people that would drop a duece and waltz out without washing (and possibly without even wiping) was staggering. I thought the ordeal of covid might improve handwashing.

Nope. Though I figure the type that didn't wash after the toilet before covid would simply continue to not wash their damn hands.

I don't want to see the numbers for the US...

Can confirm, I live there and it is awful

The restaurant would lose business from the constant alarm going off constantly

I don’t need to wash my hands, that’s what my immune system is for 😤

[-] dylanTheDeveloper@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago

Exactly, i don't wash my hands in fact i make it a habit to grab my shit out of my ass with my hands and fling it onto the ceiling and at nearby patrons.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

I believe this works for playing in dirt but is nonsensical for bathroom germs (IIRC)

[-] 96VXb9ktTjFnRi@feddit.nl 1 points 8 months ago

Why wouldn't it work? Me and a lot of people have tried it long term and we're absolutely fine.

[-] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

Bacteria from the poopoo can make you really sick.

Definitely accept your anecdote but we know in the aggregate, handwashing works.

Handwashing education in the community:

  • Reduces the number of people who get sick with diarrhea by 23-40%
  • Reduces diarrheal illness in people with weakened immune systems by 58%
  • Reduces respiratory illnesses, like colds, in the general population by 16-21%
  • Reduces absenteeism due to gastrointestinal illness in schoolchildren by 29-57%

More good info from the CDC!

Boooo get out of here

[-] Jackcooper@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

I have this false, Berenstein style memory of Along Came Polly or another late 90s comedy having a trailer with this joke in video form. If this happened please let me know I'm not crazy.

The Far Side

Hello fellow Far Side fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.

The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, cool stuff about the author, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s The Far Side!
