This will be a funny one to explain to grandkids one day

To be fair this is a good idea underdeveloped countries as canned drinks in storage are usually contaminated externally with rat shit.

My neighbor died. My 34-year-old coworker died. Those early days of COVID were fucking terrifying.

I tended to get every flu and every diarrhoea even before the pandemic. One day I decided to wash my hands thoroughly after shopping. Then came the pandemic. I am not making this up but I haven't had any sickness for eighth years. No flu, no diarrhoea. I didn't even catch COVID. Just because I started washing my hands a bit more often, around half a dozen times a day.

"why not just wipe them with disinfectant wipes?"

"oh, you sweet summer child"

Do I get any credit for never having done this?

Sadly, no it won't. Because we've royally fucked over the planet for ourselves and things like this will only become more common. Not necessarily exactly this picture, but the age of crisis is well upon us and will only get worse from here. Your grandkids will understand because they're in for much worse.

I think I'm going to continue washing apples, cucumbers, things like that.

I have no idea what's going on in this photo.

Ironic that whoever is washing the Pepsi and Cheetos has a much higher risk of dying from heart disease than COVID.

The dark days of instacarting groceries and having everything smell like the inside of a smokers car

Before covid some groceries (mostly fruits/vegetables) lasted 1 week or a little more. After that sometimes 2 or more, just today I cut a pineapple that it's 3 weeks old. I'm going to keep washing them.

And it's really nice to just open the fridge and just bite the apple w/o needing to wash it (again).

Yeah, this is disturbing, like what the fuck are you doing??!!

I much prefer just setting everything on fire

Lol idiots who did this

Everyone who did this is fucking stupid, respiratory illness spreads in coughs and sneezes, (aerosolized fluids), not on surfaces.

Very weird not to use dishwashing gloves for that. It's like taking a photo of yourself as an example of brushing your teeth and forgetting to use toothpaste. It's just so strange that it's hard to imagine it wasn't done on purpose.
