I never realised how much I really want to know the answer to this question.
Yea, I wanna know if I’m committing genocide every time I shower or not. 😈
Shower, probably. Part of the function of soap (and scrubbing) is to dislodge dirt and bacteria, so it gets washed away.
So you’re either committing genocide by killing them outright, or forcefully relocating them from your body. (also why 99% soap generally doesn’t matter too much compared to regular soap)
Doesn’t the nature of subsurfacants rip apart most bacteria? That’s what I have always been taught, but my mother supplemented a lot of my education and I have learned she hasn’t always been 100% right… although neither were my textbooks l… so I guess flaws all around
TIL I have little bugs on my skin :(
And we become a graveyard of little bugs
I wish Lemmy would grow to the point when these Reddit moments of "I’m a dermatologist, and actually…” happen as usual as they happen on Reddit.
I am an expert on the little bugs that live on your skin. Swimming for extended periods not only doesn’t harm them, it makes them stronger. Try to limit swimming to 2 hours or less or they may become strong enough to take over control of your body!
Actually the chlorine in our water supply is creating seven different super bugs right this moment that are resistant to everything!
That’s super interesting- would you have some sources or at least some keywords I could search for more info on how this happens?
Hey at least we’re at the point where people are asking the questions! Literally three days ago nobody needed to summon a dermatologist.
Literally three days ago nobody needed to summon a dermatologist.
As a nerd with regular cycles of bad skin from dermatitis since my teen years I doubt nobody in a community of nerds needed to summon a dermatologist, but we may soon hit the sweet spot of being big enough to have specific expertise in comments without people lying for clout or karma farming!
That used to be the case on reddit. These days you have to scroll through hundreds of lame jokes to find an actual discussion.
As far as I notice, puns are an important aspect of English-speaking culture, so I understand that and I’m ok with that. At least for me this “actually…” moment is always worth the scrolling effort :)
There’s a time and a place and it’s not just wherever you can shove one in.
You will still find these on Quora. They don’t even need to say what they are, their subtitle will just say it all
This is so nasty and interesting at the same time
