Ewww

Yeah that's why you wash things.
Every man's hand you've ever touched has had a dick in it. Every woman's hand you've touched has been in a vagina.
- FELLAS
- And every hand has been used to wipe an ass.
- What if you’re born quadriplegic does it still count?
  
  Someone would've touched you with their hands so by proxy you've been touched by a person who's had their hands on some kind of genetalia
- Every woman's hand you've touched has been in a vagina.
  Go on…
- This is why I only shake hands with feet, and use my nose to open the vagina.

I mean my hand has touched way more disgusting things and yet I still eat with it. Seems a little too silly.
- A NEW HAND TOUCHES THE BEACON!
  
  Fuck
  
  LISTEN! HEAR ME AND OBEY! A FOUL DARKNESS HAS SEEPED INTO MY TEMPLE!
- I eat with my hands as well 👍
  
  The chances you and I have touched the same thing at least once means I probably also eat with your hands.
- Are you the one in the image?

I live in Britain.
All our mouths are like that.

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.
  
  IIRC, restaurant machines are required to run at sanitization temperatures. Likely because of their extremely short run cycle.
- The air you're breathing has also been inside this person.
  
  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...
  
  Joke's on you, I don't breathe.
  
  The water you are drinking has been through his penis (and asshole)
- 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.

if this disturbs you, definitely don't think about that public bathroom toilet seat
- Or were your water comes from
  
  Yeah that fork gets washed between uses. The water comes right out of the pipe. Most people would immediately vom if they saw inside their water supply pipes.
- Why? Whose mouth has it been in?!

Can say the same about the forks in my house.
Because I stole them from those restaurants.

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.
  
  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.
  
  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.
  
  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.
  
  So it’s probably not been in Hitlers mouth. Dinosaur piss I’ll leave as an exercise for the reader.
  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!
- I don't think I've seen them polished after every wash
  
  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.
  
  where I used to work they did

Dishwasher bruh.
- That is the dishwasher.

Bro your fork was burried in fucking rocks and dirt with this logic

Every Drop you drink is contaminated or once was,.. pee. And Mythbusters proofed that poop-dust is everywhere.

Universal comprehensive healthcare would help.

Dont think about ass pennies then.

I'll take "things I wasn't actively considering and wished I could unlearn" for 1000, Alex.

We go to different restaurants, you and me

stop all of you

I would also want to go through a restaurant grade dishwasher after touching a mouth like that

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? 🤔😳

"Hurm hurm hurm, at my favorite restaurant? Hah! Scum like that can't afford it!"
Or
"What? Naw, we use disposable forks" at my favorite restieraunts"

thanks a lot brits
- Our teeth are healthy, just crooked and not bizarrely white.
  Edit; changed a word.

Wait until you pay for your meal

I don't really mind this thought
What's disturbing is the thought that there are some restaurants that we've al visited that may or may not have properly cleaned their utensils before giving them to you to use. Which means there is a tiny chance that the fork you use at a restaurant may have been in the mouth of the person in the picture.
