Ha bacteria! It's not the water you should be worried about.

It's the quart gallon of vodka I wash it down with each night, as I try to blot out my existence.

Fuck you bacteria (and my liver), I WIN!

The level of idiocy needed to think that the reason you rinse it is to kill bacteria is disturbing to imagine.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 50 minutes ago

Who rinses things to remove bacteria? I just want to remove dirt.

Err, your immune system can cope with a bit of bacteria. But if you don't wash your salad and get a massive load into yourself, your body will deal with it by extorting everything in your stomach. E.g. you'll puke the entire night. You're welcome.

When you rinse salad with water you are not cleaning a significant amount of bacteria off it. You're getting soil and bugs.

Unless your salad is contaminated with something, not washing it will at worst be gritty and unpleasant. It won't make you ill. If it does, washing it will make no difference.

I don't know if this is effective, my wife soak the veggies in baking powder/baking soda, I forgot which. She said it kills bugs. Who am I to argue.

Yeah I just don't like the feel of dirt grit and bugs in my teeth.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 hours ago

Yeah I wash my vegetables for grit. I don't even care that much about bugs, but even the slightest amount of grit is terrible.

Why would you expect tap water to kill bacteria?

You’re washing bugs and dirt off.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 46 minutes ago

the belief that a quick 3 second rinse will kill off bacteria seems to be consistent with the ways that most people try to wash their hands

[–] [email protected] 15 points 6 hours ago

Its also wash out bacteria.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

Bodies are pretty OK with dietary bacteria. Same goes for dirt, bugs, and Will Arnett.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 hours ago (3 children)

Is ... Is that Will Arnett?? Or am I missing the joke?? It doesn't look like him to me.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 hours ago

Oh damn, you’re right! I skimmed past thinking it was one of these lol

Yeah no idea who that is in OP

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

This is Mark Hoppus from Blink-182

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Thank you. Guess I'm just missing the joke lol

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

I think OP and I just have the same issue with similar looking faces, because I also thought this was Gob from Arrested Development.

You wash because of the pesticides.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

You wash it because of the ratlungworm that raw snail and slug can give you.
