it drowns the bacteria

It brushes off bacteria/viruses/debris from your hands. Soap does almost nothing in this other than weaken your immune system by killing the remaining bacteria and thus through evolution create stronger bugs

Most people suck at washing hands, which does nothing. watch a surgeon scrub up to see how it's done.
Anthony Johnson
that isn't what soap does, dipshit.
soap disrupts microbe attachment to your body. it doesn't KILL bacteria unless it has antibacterial agents, then it would kill SOME of the bacteria on your skin.
yea guys, make sure you scrub like a surgeon every time you wash your hands.
even scrubbing that thoroughly won't remove all the microbes from your body surface. that's why they wear sterile protective equipment

>implying most morons still dont use the "kills 99.9%" meme soap
No shit not all soap is antibacterial nowadays but just a surfactant. Never said otherwise.
>"some"
most kill all of the main 4 pathogens and brush of the rest. so?
Landon Martin
all soap IS a surfactant. SOME of those soaps also have antibacterial agents. the ones with antibacterial agents CAN KILL bacteria, the ones that don't have those agents CAN'T KILL bacteria. it's that fucking simple. saying that "soap does almost nothing in this other than weaken your immune system by killing the remaining bacteria" is stupid as fuck.
>actually believing that all bacteria are removed/killed from soap
you're a fucking dipshit

No one ever explained me three things:
1. How far can germs go and
2. How long do they survive?
3. When do germs actually cause harm?
For example if I use the back of my hand to open a door does the palm stay clean or do the germs crawl there from the back of my hand?
So I heard that your phone has quite a lot of germs. If I leave my phone on the table and don't touch it how long would it take for it to become sterile? Would it ever?
So if there are germs on your phone and keyboard and laptop why don't you get sick? I also heard that you should replace your hand towel daily but what if you don't? What kind of harmful germs could collect there?

"through evolution create stronger bugs"
you lack an understanding of what evolution is

>all soap IS a surfsactant
never said it wasnt
>SOME of those soaps also have antibacterial agents.
and those are the most popular. which is what i said.
>saying that "soap does almost nothing in this other than weaken your immune system by killin the remaining bacteria" is stupid as fuck.
Nearly all of the pathogens are removed with the brushing with water. Soaps are usually also antibacterial which kill a large portion of the pathogens which you would have been exposed to and fought off easily and thus stengthening your immune system. Its literally factually proven that using these antibacterial soaps increase the likelyhood of developing an allergy and weaken the immune system. If you want to call someone a dipshit atleast read the literature before you do.
>actually believing i said that all bacteria are removed/killed from soap.
i literally said antibacterial soaps only kill the main 4 which are essentially harmless to us anyway. Go back go grade school because you need a lesson in reading comprehension
