For screenshots of humorous, clean, nonpolitical social media posts. This primarily implies Twitter, but Facebook, Tumblr, Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, etc. are allowed too. It should be primarily text-based though.
Rules
- Again, no politics.
- No Lemmy posts. You're already on a Lemmy instance. There's no need to screenshot it and post it here.
- No Reddit posts. That's too similar to Lemmy.
- The joke must be text. Images can be included in the screenshot, but only as needed context.
- Use correct cropping. Don't have a mile of whitespace or show extraneous UI, but don't crop out the date or author.
- No doxxing. Again, don't crop out the author's name as he or she has chosen to share it, but definitely do not share extra information which may be personally identifiable or libelous.
- Link to the original post either in the body or in a comment.
We are obviously not affiliated with Twitter in any way.

Um, no. I wasn't trying to illustrate the whole 'kitchen vs bathroom', I was giving you two other understandable comparison so you understand JUST HOW FUCKDAMN virulent that bacterial ecosystem you have in your mouth is.
If you HAD done the experiments, you would have likely seen the toilet swab as having 2 or 3 colonies and maybe a fungus, the kitchen would have been like 4 or 5 slowly spreading colonies.
In the same time the swab from your mouth will colonize the ENTIRE dish with 6-12 different colonies, and likely one or two fungi as well.
Mouth bacteria are REALLY on another level. Ask a biologist, they'll tell you.
Numerousness does not equal virulence, that was my point with the kitchen vs bathroom thing. Sure there's way more colonies in my mouth, but again, if they were so virulent that I should be petrified to the bone of double-dipping like you are, I would have gotten sick many times over from it. And I havent. In more than thirty years of doing it. So it must not be an issue.
Instead of maintaining your stubborn ignorance you could try even once doing your own research or asking a medical professional.
You could try actually reading what I say and responding to the points brought up appropriately instead of ignoring it all and giving yourself more worry-ulcers. As previously stated twice, I've done my own research, three decades of it, and the results are undeniable. Medical professionals have way more important things to worry about than me never getting sick from eating chips and dip.
Pretty clear proof your 'years of research' are asking people's opinions in bars doesn't compare to actual food safety knowledge.
It's pretty tragic how people take their gut feelings and incorrect assumptions as commonly held knowledge, it's kind of how we ran into the reproducibility crisis anyway.
Why don't you go look up cop procedures for when they get bitten handling people, that'll give you an idea how serious it is.
People have died from human teeth wounds, and its been long historically documented.
Why would I ask anyone's opinion? My research is all primary, no funding needed. I eat the chip with the dip and I continue living quite healthily. Then I do it again. 🤷 And we definitely don't have a reproducibility crisis, there's way too many peoplele as it is. I know how much microscopic shit there is in the world, I've run plenty of bacterial cultures in microbio labs and the like, I just choose not to live my life in abject terror, especially of the stuff that lives in and on me naturally. I bet I've double-dipped something on the majority of days I've been alive, that's thousands and thousands of occasions. And each occasion probably contains an average of at least 5 instances of double-dipping, usually much more. That's tens, maybe hundreds of thousands of instances. By the time I'm 40, I bet I'll have double-dipped over one million times. Nothing happens, including unnecessary dishwashing. Just don't eat rotten food or food with literal shit in it, you'll be fine.
Then your research is flawed and doesn't align with actual medical research.
You like to pretend you understand things, but it's really clear you don't.
So now I'm excising you from my internet experience forever. Rot in obscurity.
Oh no, I would have been so famous if not for you blocking me! Nooooooooooo!!1! 🙄🙄🙄
