Mythbusters tested these things against paper towels years ago, and I've never opted to use one since. Paper Towels are actually exponentially more sanitary, in the control they had almost zero colonies.
Yeah, I'm all for trying to be less wasteful....but companies didn't add them to be more "green", it just costs less in the long run. I get so annoyed when there are no paper towels in a bathroom. Sometimes I'll just straight up go into a stall and use some toilet paper to dry my hands. Although sometimes tells me the excess power surge in essentially turning on a hairdryer costs more in electricity than wasted recycled paper.
I've been on the lake where that floating island is, Chippewa Flowage in NW Wisconsin. They're also called floating bogs. I used to work at a group home for adults with developmental disabilities, and we took them to an event specifically designed to take people with disabilities fishing. The best fishing of the weekend was on the other side of the bridge, but no one was allowed to go that way on the 2nd day because they were afraid the wind would move the bog and block people from getting back to base.
The floating bog is in Wisconsin apparently and blocks that bridge almost every year and DNR won't let them break it up because it was formed a century ago and has become habitat for animals and obviously plants
I've been there. It was a weekend event to take people with disabilities fishing. The best fishing the first day was on the other side of the bridge, but day 2 nobody could go that way because they were concerned the bog would prevent people from returning to base.
I LOVE watching Daily dose of internet!! I saw the MythBusters episode years ago also. Every time you flush your toilet, whatever is in the water will aerosol. So tiny bacteria will land on whatever's in the area... Thanks to MythBusters, I think about it every time I flush the toilet in my bathroom! I usually keep a tiny spray bottle of alcohol in my purse, next time I have to use a hand dryer, I'm gonna mist some into the intake. 😉
Yes, paper towels are cleaner than air dryers, BUT as a Navy Nuke going through Nuke school 20ish years ago, we were taught about "starting resistance" and the energy required to start an air dryer is more than it takes to make paper towels. Also, air dryers have gotten more energy efficient, but I never use them to this day over paper towels as people who use dryers tend to wipe their hands on their pants anyways....
my guess is the floating island is held together by the plant roots. a landslide or erosion probably freed it and it drifted to the marina. If I was mr Beast I'd rent a pair of Tug boats and tow the entire island to a beach... then show up to film the confused people who woke up to a forest where rocks and sand were yesterday.
It's on a lake known as the Chippewa Flowage in NW Wisconsin. There are many there. You're correct as to how it's held together, it's also known as a floating bog.
My favorite thing about this video is that the swan knocked over the turtles and then the next clip is rats popping their head out of a New York sewer. That’s some Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles timing. 😂
With the bacteria thing the dude need to remember he is in a bathroom. The smell of crap floats around everywhere (IE. Floating feces) in there. He needs a control. Do the same thing in a clean room. I bet results will be way different.
I have NEVER used these things. Never made any damn sense to me. I’ve ALWAYS thought, why tf would I wash my hands and then put my clean wet hands under something that’s going blow the NASTIEST air of any building all over them? NO THANK YOU. I’ve got a LOT less problems with using my shirt to grab the door handle and get tf out as soon as possible. You’re literally BLOWING PISSY, SHITY vapors all over your wet hands. Turning your hands into fleshy Petri dishes.
My eyesight isn’t as reliable as it used to be, so at first I thought you said you’d use your shit before drying your hands with one of those germ factories. It made me ponder which of those option is worse.
You should make videos where you are actually studying and looking up things you see in vids that interest you! Would love to look more into your way of thinking and intellect bro!
If you figure paper is made from trees planted specifically to make paper, we're basically farming them. Using paper towels and throwing them in landfills IS carbon sequestration. They aren't chopping down natural forests to do this. Read about this in 'physics for future presidents', lots of good info there.
@@katstorm13 ah I see, didn't know that walking on them isn't safe. But the thought of you being able to camp on it and waking up several km is still scary even tho it's not realistic
Yep with different types of floor base material. This one is peat and other plants, they aren't allowed to break it up because it's considered a natural wildlife area. A similar one in Minnesota was broken up into smaller pieces.
You just have to be picky and choosy on which type of hand dryer you. Some higher end restaurants use Dyson brand hand dryers. The filter and purify the air before it's blown on your hands. But most of them are just using a simple fan on the bottom of the unit to suck up the dirty air from the bathroom and blow it onto your hands.
How do I know a Petri dish doesn’t look like that when exposed to any air under the same temperature and moisture conditions? And if it is way worse than any other air, what’s the theory on how or why? Are people scraping their hands on the inside rim? Is it because the air being blown is being sucked from a room full of germs? Cause if so you’re standing in it and breathing it

I scanned your comment. At first, I thought you were making a joke that paper towels have almost zero calories!😆
same I avoid them whenever possible

Yeah that moving island was crazy !

It’s a Grass Island. It just floats. I have seen videos on them. Never seen boats pushing them. Amazing.
There was one in Northern Minnesota that crashed into several docks and boatlifts. It was eventually dismantled into smaller pieces
5:43 Real life Thriller Bark, neat.
Awesome vid. Thanks for sharing!

It reminded me of Whack-a-Mole! 😂
Damn, bud. Another vidya that was too short. That floating island part was cool to see. TY, sir, Mr.
Oh naw. That’s all they have at work. Guess I’ll just grab some paper towels from the lunch room.
Yeah, hand dryers have to be cleaned regularly or well ya get that mess.
1:40 that was shotgun slug, damn.
I love that the floating island just drifts around, minding its own business, and the only time people intervene is when it causes a people problem.

Imagine going camping on that patch and you wake up 10 km away from where you started. I would be so confused
That actually sounds pretty fun. At least you wouldn’t have to worry about dangerous wildlife. (Maybe.)
They aren't usually safe to walk on. The base isn't soil but peat moss and other plants, falling through can be really dangerous.
@@katstorm13 I do appreciate that. The trees seem fine with it, but I’m not okay with drowning in earth.

There’s plenty of floating islands around the world. One is a near perfect circle in shape. Can you do a video on it ?

Honestly I’d rather have that Alpaca spit in my face than use those hand dryers crop dust my hands.
Ahh, yes, the poo-spewers!!
Daily dose❤️💯
Yea a lot of lighter skinned people seem to forget that the sun darkens EVERYBODYS skin. Especially over many years.

As we learned from Casual Geographic, that's not llama "spit", it's llama vomit.🦙🤮
