Don't get mad about silly little things which clearly aren't meant to be taken seriously. I'm enjoying the thread for the stupid life hacks but man does every single one have to have ten posts saying how stupid it is and how gosh you'd have to be an IDIOT to do that! That's kid of the point of the thread it doesn't need to be constantly pointed out

As an ex-supermarket employee: wash your fruit. People routinely came into the store and let loose sneezes like crop dusters over the fruit and veg displays, or picked up apples with almost certainly poo poo-caked hands, carefully caressed them, dropped them on the botulism-coated ground and then placed them gently back on the shelf.

Gorilla Salad posted:I'm suddenly very glad that I don't You CAN, in the sense that it probably won't kill you. In fact, you can probably go your whole life never washing your fruits/vegetables and never get sick. That doesn't mean it's not gross to not do it. This isn't a matter of being in the US or not. No matter where you live, the fruit at the store has at least some leftover dirt/feces/pesticides on it, and has been handled probably by numerous bare hands, whether from the store employees or from customers moving it around/testing ripeness etc. So yeah, you can just go buy a bunch of fruit and just eat it without washing it, but some people find that gross, because no matter where you are, your fruit/vegetables are just as dirty as everyone else's. Some people don't care about unknowingly eating a little dirt, some people would rather spend a little extra time to eliminate that possibility from their mind (even though in reality they will undoubtedly miss some and eat it anyway). It's less a health concern and more just personal preferences on hygiene.

Gastroenteritis is a great way to lose weight fast and to experience first-hand a thrilling fear of imminent death! #lifehax Also wash your fruits and veggies, dummies. The least offensive story I can come up with is one time, a produce guy at the store I used to work at trimmed down a whole case of cilantro, then went out and stocked apples. All the galas smelled like goddamn cilantro. Oh, look, a case of fresh mushrooms came in. Let me get to wrapping them up. What's that? The apples need filled again? Right away!

I used to be a cashier at a grocery store, nothing was as disgusting as the conveyer belt. We were supposed to clean them every hour, but that never loving happened. People would put their fruit directly on a surface that had dripping raw meat on it five minutes ago. Also when the produce guys found a mouldy piece of fruit in a container, then they threw out a mouldy piece of fruit. On topic: Tired of spilling your coffee every morning? Then don't fill it to the loving brim, you moron #Lifehack

Counterpoint: Tired of having to go back to the coffee pot again and again? Just buy a bigger cup and fill it to the brim. Starbucks makes coffee cups in truly ghastly sizes so you can be sure your entire head is obscured when you take a sip. Or, simply take the entire pot back to your desk. Any container is a personal cup if you try hard and believe in yourself.

The container had a false bottom where the user hides their weed. A clever use of the tare function lets you measure the weight. It's a Jurassic Park hack. It wasn't in the lifehack so the nsa won't squeal about it. Come to think of it, most never get busted again tricks sound like lifehacks.

Because I think it might be time to find a better store. What loving processing line do you imagine where the fruits are individually pre-washed for you? No really, I'm genuinely curious where you think that step would take place.
