Study: Hand dryers suck in fecal bacteria and blow it all over your hands

[rainy]

That's why every toilet should have a toilet seat bidet. Then there's no hand poop interaction. I schedule my dumps to ensure I'm at home and can use it.

Cosign this.

Installing a bidet at home was one of the biggest quality of life improvements I've made in recent years, and it cost $40 to do.

I'll only take a dump elsewhere if I REALLY have to go. Using toilet paper feels downright barbaric at this point.

Agree 100%.

Sometimes life happens and I have to go at work. No bidet then. But in the traveling thread I said my portable bidet is a must when going abroad. At home I either use that or shower right after doing my business.

Once you get in the habit, toilet paper alone is just dirtier.

So apparently a complete lack of reasoning skills doesn't preclude someone from becoming a professional cook.

Slapping pepperoni on a pizza doesn't make you a professional cook.

I thought lack of reasoning was how you end up a cook.. . .

If I'm ever at a place that uses hand driers only and no paper towels I'll grab or request an asinine amount of napkins to dry my hands, making a real show of it, and intentionally being wasteful.

I'm a wet wipe user myself.

Don't flush those.

Witch Hazel wipes are the best.

I always hated those things anyway.

Does not surprise me that it's another scam which only appears to be better, but ultimately isn't.

No way in hell will all bacteria be killed in the heat - it's essentially a germ-growth-area - not only within the device, but also in the environment since it blows out literally crap across the room.

The Mythbusters episde is also telling. They pushed for the change from paper/washable towels for two maybe three reasons:

A) Ability to sell you an expensive device that needs to be maintained and replaced constantly

B) Fake supposed myths of "saving the environment" - my favorite ones are those babies and voila - they are the most hygienic:

New Research Proves Cloth Roll Towel Systems (CRT) More Hygienic than Air Dryers

No idea whether those rolls are being re-used, but that should not be problematic. Humanity knows for millennia how to clean textiles well. I can understand the reasoning against the use of paper, but not reusable textiles.

C) Makes bathrooms actually less sanitary and more useless eaters are sick and die - win, win, win.

That is why you see many upscale places freshly washed small towels that you throw into a bin right after use. Let the serfs use those shit-blast-machines.
