Ha bacteria! It's not the water you should be worried about.

It's the quart gallon of vodka I wash it down with each night, as I try to blot out my existence.

Fuck you bacteria (and my liver), I WIN!

Err, your immune system can cope with a bit of bacteria. But if you don't wash your salad and get a massive load into yourself, your body will deal with it by extorting everything in your stomach. E.g. you'll puke the entire night. You're welcome.

When you rinse salad with water you are not cleaning a significant amount of bacteria off it. You're getting soil and bugs.

Unless your salad is contaminated with something, not washing it will at worst be gritty and unpleasant. It won't make you ill. If it does, washing it will make no difference.

How about a pile?

I don't know if this is effective, my wife soak the veggies in baking powder/baking soda, I forgot which. She said it kills bugs. Who am I to argue.

[–] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 25 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah I just don't like the feel of dirt grit and bugs in my teeth.

[–] exasperation@lemm.ee 9 points 5 hours ago

Yeah I wash my vegetables for grit. I don't even care that much about bugs, but even the slightest amount of grit is terrible.

Why would you expect tap water to kill bacteria?

You’re washing bugs and dirt off.

[–] driving_crooner@lemmy.eco.br 15 points 5 hours ago

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Bodies are pretty OK with dietary bacteria. Same goes for dirt, bugs, and Will Arnett.

[–] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 9 points 6 hours ago (3 children)

Is ... Is that Will Arnett?? Or am I missing the joke?? It doesn't look like him to me.

[–] Gingernate@programming.dev 6 points 3 hours ago

It's mark hoppus from blink-182

[–] Septimaeus@infosec.pub 7 points 5 hours ago

Oh damn, you’re right! I skimmed past thinking it was one of these lol

Yeah no idea who that is in OP

[–] blargbluuk@sh.itjust.works 13 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

This is Mark Hoppus from Blink-182

[–] YarHarSuperstar@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Thank you. Guess I'm just missing the joke lol

[–] AquaTofana@lemmy.world 4 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I think OP and I just have the same issue with similar looking faces, because I also thought this was Gob from Arrested Development.

[–] h3mlocke@lemm.ee 1 points 2 hours ago

You wash because of the pesticides.

[–] huginn@feddit.it 13 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

You wash it because of the ratlungworm that raw snail and slug can give you.

[–] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 3 points 6 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago)

Oh fuuuuck. Nature is crazy 😬

Shit like this is why I don't believe there's a god

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 29 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Also the bugs, fecal matter, and dirt that can be in the folds and pockets.
