    Yeah? And those forks have also been washed with soap, killing the majority, if not all, of the bacteria present.

    What’s your point?

      and the dishwasher runs at scalding temps for extended periods of time… if you’ve ever worked in a restaurant you know what im talking about. those machines are no joke.

        As a joke, we cooked a chicken in one, one time. Basically high temperature sous vide, lol.

            After about 10 cycles it was up to temp. We didn’t eat it, we weren’t certain that the bag didn’t leak, and didn’t want to eat the soap

              That’s fair, I wouldn’t have eaten it either. I was just curious if it actually worked or not.

        IIRC, restaurant machines are required to run at sanitization temperatures. Likely because of their extremely short run cycle.

        Earth has been around for 4.5 billion years. For 4.3 billion years life has existed.

        That is, at minimum, 4 billion years of animal farts we’re breathing in with every… Single… Breath…

          I don’t think bacterial excretions count as farts, so it’s probably more like 800 million years worth of farts as that’s when animals started existing.

      The point is that the fork has been traumatised and it transfers that trauma to your food by the magic of homeopathy or something.

      Better yet, they’re sent through dishwashers that heat the water crazy hot. FDA requirements dictate that the surface temperature of utensils in a commercial dishwasher must get up to 160°F. NSF requirements necessitate temps high enough to yield a log5 reduction in bacteria. Because of this, many commercial dishwashers get up to 180°F. They also use both soap and sanitizer. You don’t have to worry about this if the restaurant is up to code.

      Craziest part is they take like, 3 minutes start to finish.

    the water you drink probably has been in Hitlers mouth and probably contains dinosaur piss. do you care about that?

    I used to wash the dishes, at least in Europe it’s standard to put all cutlery into 2 dishwashers and after that polish them with a very fine cloth. probably also in the us. (unless you don’t tip of course)

      There is about 1,260,000,000,000,000,000,000 liter of water on Earth. Lets say Hitler was a pretty good water drinker and on average he ingested 4 liter of water (not just in drinking but also in food). Hitler lived for about 20,454 days and would have ingested about 81,816 of water. Lets say you are a water superfan and live to be 100 years old, then there is a chance of 0.001185845% you will drink some of the water that Hitler drunk at some point.

      So it’s probably not been in Hitlers mouth. Dinosaur piss I’ll leave as an exercise for the reader.

        This assumes that all the water on the planet has been evenly mixed in about 80 years since Hitler’s death. I’d say if you’re living in New Zealand you’re likely a lot safer than if you have lived 80 years near germany. I assume the issue is less “Hitler rain” than Hitler ground water.

        I’m on it. Dinosaurs lived for millions of years, so if we assume at least one dinosaur per year, there were likely at least a million dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are also very big. This means they probably stored a lot of pee. How much pee? Based on their size, probably at least a gallon or more. So now you’ve got 1 million gallons of dinosaur pee. With 8.025 billion people on Earth, that’s roughly 1/2 teaspoon of dinosaur pee for every living human!

        And let’s not even get into whether the water molecule is the same two Hs and O that it was when it was in Hitler’s mouth. Or, holy hell, what if his water became your muscles! Which, you know, is another possibility.

        But molecularly, not just by the liter, the air you breathe is guaranteed to contain a molecule of Caesar’s last breath from when he was stabbed with every breath we take. There’s way more air than water, so it stands to reason that not only are you drinking water that Hitler has drunk, you’re drinking Hitler’s pee! And Alex Trebek’s pee, I suppose.

        In the US it depends if the restaurant is considered fine dining. High class places absolutely polish their silverware, and the staff hates it. Probably every day, or two rather than every wash for the average utensil.

    Yeah that’s why you wash things.

    Hmm… If we want to stretch something further… How do I know water that I drink is something new or clean instead of treated water, pure water or even perhaps dinosaur piss that has been filtered from underground soil long long time ago? 🤔😳
