Is Washing Your Hands Really Necessary After Taking A Dump?

How have humans got this far....I'm sure our great ancestors on the great plains always washed their hands.

I'm not sure either way but I am sure they didn't live as long. :\

You totally have time to wash your hands every time you take a shit, eat enough food, have enough sex, and watch enough porn.

I'm fairly sure it's possible.

Why do you wash your hands after eating food? Don't you use a knife and fork?

You're still likely touching things like your napkin, the table, or areas around your mouth. Washing after eating is mostly just to reduce the amount of germs you spread to others. TBH I don't do this consistently, but definitely before I eat.
 
^I think the "yet" is most important.

I'm wondering in what situations you guys do wash your hands?
 
I wash my hands when i take a shower once a day. Other than that honestly i dont wash my hands at all pretty much
 
*actually i thought of one time if i touch my loose tobacco i always wash my hands before touching my dog or its food or water.

Okay then. Why? Is your dog trying to quit?
 
A napkin is clean I don't see why you need to wash your hands after touching a napkin.

Well, your analogy doesn't work on multiple levels:

1) First, food isn't shit, and unless it's raw meat, raw eggs or raw animal products (which yes, I wash my hands after touching), it does not have anywhere near the amount of bacteria on it as shit does, so even if you DO touch cooked food with your bare hands you don't IMO really NEED to wash your hands. I mean if I eat pizza or a burger with my hands I probably will wash my hands for just 2 seconds afterwards but not cause of bacteria but just cause my hands will be all greasy, so I might put a tiny bit of soap on them and rinse under cold water for 2 seconds and dry but it's no big deal.

2) Then you compare the difference between toilet paper, which is LITERALLY paper thin, and which YES DOES usually involve you getting particles of shit on your hand through the paper when you wipe, even if you do wad it up....vs metal implements which are a few inches long, so that your hands in no way shape or form even get CLOSE to the food you are eating...which...once again....does not have the kind of bacteria on it that shit does.


I mean, for the sake of argument, and this is kind of fucked up to imagine, but I'd say i'd PROBABLY wash my hands if under some bizarre context I had to cut a piece of shit in half with a fork and knife AHHAHAHAHAHA.

I mean, I'd wash them, cause you could still get splash back, but strictly speaking, there's a good chance you'll get none of it on you with several inches of metal between it and you because there's that big of a difference between a piece of metal and a piece of paper.

So yeah....your analogy makes no sense.

I still think you really just have no perception of how thin toilet paper is, how easily wet bacteria can penetrate it, and how close to your shit you are getting when you wipe.

Pretty odd analogy/question to make, (I think this thread is odd enough so why not just make it odder) but think of it this way:

If someone tries to smack you with a butter knife you could block it with another knife or fork right?

If someone tries to stab you with a fork or knife can you block it with a wad of toilet paper?

Not so much.

Several inch long metal implements cannot be compared to super soft thin toilet paper, and well cooked meals cannot be compared to bacteria laden shit.
