New solution can help 'permanently get rid of germs'

[SelfAppointedGunslinger]

"A new anti-microbial treatment that can make clothing - including smelly socks - permanently germ-free has been developed by US scientists."

Amazing what science is capable of in this day and age.

Bull honkey, germs are germs because they adapt to different poisons. This thingymajig will only work for so long before new germs manifest with new unknown weaknesses.

Having no germs is incredibly dangerous, we need to be exposed to them to build up our immune system.

I just want everyone to realize how completely impossible that is.

 

[D3m190d]

I'm not sure if it is impossible, or not. But it's highly unlikely. There are so many germs that there must be one that can live in there. And furthermore, I agree with Shirosaki.
WE NEED GERMS TO F*****G LIVE. Our bodies are literally infested with germs, cooperating with our cells to keep us alive. A body without germs is like a country without citizens. Lifeless.

I think they're mainly going to use them for hospital patents going in and out of surgery (which is understandable.) I agree with you lot mostly though, like you said we need germs.

^ This.

Also, wouldn't there be good germs.... even in socks? Like ones we actually need?

 

[HobbeBrain]

Not in socks. In your digestive system, yea. Do you eat socks? I won't judge you, but if you eat socks make sure to get the standard kind.

I chew them when I get nervous. Does that count?

I'm all for a working immune system.

But fragrant socks, oh boy.

Germs killed my father, and raped my mother.

Germs killed my father, and raped my mother.

I'm sure germs gangbang us every day.

BUKKAKE!
