Oh, they are. It'd be cleaner to lick the general toilet seat than to lick your finger after using one of these. I don't use them at all.

Your hands are supposed to be clean from washing with soap and water. The dryer is just there to make your hands dry because moving around with wet hands isn't very comfortable.

But they rapidly suck air in from the surrounding area which means if someone flushes the poo partials are in the air and being blown on your hands.

Gonna let you know that paper towel dispensers aren't air tight, so they are every bit as contaminated as everything else in the bathroom

Paper towels aren’t very good at sucking. If they were, they’d run out faster on the gent’s than Musk buys a social media company.

And then you have to touch the doorknob/push plate/etc. to leave.

New hygiene unlocked. Gonna stop wasting money on soap.

Yes, that's the idea. And it works. But you're hands are no longer clean. Quick search: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=hands+dryer+bacteria+&t=fpas&ia=web har an impact on me, and i don't use them at all.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.
