Good time to share How to use one paper towel (to thoroughly dry your hands in a public restroom).

Shake. Fold. It really does work.

that was a nice watch, but more times than not I just use my pants

I try to use your pants too, but you walk really fast.

Eyyy I love this guy!

Glad you posted it, this dude is oddly compelling! One of the few talks I remember and actually act on regularly...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Can't watch at the moment; is this the guy who says to shake 7 times before you dry?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

12, but I do 7 or 8 usually.

And yes.

Is it also the guy who ends with the joke that his next talk will be how to do the same with toiletpaper?

Why 12?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Why 12? 12 apostles. 12 tribes. 12 zodiac signs. 12 months. The one I like the best it's the biggest number with one syllable.

It's also a superior highly composite number, which is a lot of words to say it has many factors. That means it can be divided easily.

It just gets a lot of water drops off your hands and the air drying helps

The next person in line breathing in your neck dries your neck as an added bonus!
