    There’s a new thing called gloves. When you wear them, it protects your hands from stuff you’d never want on your skin.

    Those wiggle bitches go away with degreaser and decloggers. I don't recommend introducing harsh chemicals to the sewer system, though. The water treatment plant already smells like soggy socks for like a least 1km radius. Or like 10 football fields. About 6912 American Dicks.

    Edit: Degreaser is also unhealthy for pipes. Grease on the other hand makes for a great reclogger.

    Degreaser can damage home pipes, but would be rather diluted by the time it reaches water treatment facilities. Sorry if you have a 2.08 inch dick. It is pretty cold right now, and personality counts for a lot.

    Compost soup/tea is common. Makes a concentrated nutrient heavy water which you can use to water plants for instant nutrient application. You don't want to keep it in the compost bin or worm farm though. Too much water and can drown the worms.

    Not with live worms in it. This was done in error. But usually yes, compost tea is common. This is the juice thats drained off the compost bin from overwatering tho. It happens.

    Serious question: Is there a large group on Redditors that own stock in glove manufacturing companies? I had to call I guy who has, for years, picked up dead bodies, human and otherwise. He picked up a deer that had been partially eaten and gutted by a mountain lion. Bare handed, took all the parts threw on rack behind his truck and left. According to the Reddit gospel he should have died immediately.

    I am old. I’ve ignore the “5 second rule” with dropped food in the kitchen. Backpacking and river rafting I’ve eaten food dropped on the ground. I’ve eaten Witchetty grubs in Australia and jungle rat in Peru. I don’t carry gloves to pick stuff up with and many of the people I know don’t either. By the sacred canons of Reddit I should have died years ago. I haven’t. I do get tetanus shots, flu shots, Covid vaccines so I’m not a troglodyte, but skin is less permeable than you make it out to be. .

    Oh same. I just tend to go for gloves to make clean up easier or to prevent my hands smelling like onions for three days. I AM a troglodyte because I never get flu or covid shots and I almost never get sick. 

    Skin may be less permeable but I also happen to get lots of small cuts and abrasions on my hands which ARE permeable.

    1 points lindisty

    For my own self, I often use gloves when I know my skin is compromised. It isn't unusual for me to have small cuts or abrasions from some hobbies, or just dry, cracked skin in winter.

    I am not okay getting poo, mold, or vomit in a wound.

    Worms and springtails. Looks like a scoop out of a compost bin maybe. My guess is this person is about to make a little worm or springtail culture, or separate these from the bin for feeding a pet.

    It's not a big deal to touch this. If you've ever in your life touched dirt. You've touched this. But with that dark, great looking soil and the sheer volume of helpful worms and springtails here, this has to be an intentionally cultured colony that this person has cared for. So not only is this just dirt, but this is the healthiest, most bioactive "clean" dirt there is. Literally no big deal. It's full of amazing good guys that are probably going to be fed to an adorable turtle or something.

    Soap exists y'all. Stick your hands in dirt, it's good for you. Take some rolly pollies home and keep some pet bugs. You'll love it, i promise.
