[@candleinthewind9135]

High school washroom: no soap left, one dryer that comes on for five seconds, and someone thought it was a funny idea to throw the paper towels into the dustbin.

[@tarahfield1198]

Back when I was in high school people would do the old toilet paper, liquid soap and a little water combo then throw it to the ceiling and it would stick. By the end of the year the girls bathroom looked like a bat cave!

[@atruv2089]

in our school; No toilet papers No soap If there is soap, people *ALWAYS* spit in/on it No papers or dryers to clean the hands

[@tarahfield1198]

Bertuğ Manavoğlu oh dear God!

[@atruv2089]

Tarah Field And our school also lasts for 8 hours! *8 HOURS OF NOT GOING TO THE TOILET OR EVEN WASHING HANDS* That's why I never even touch the door handles without gloves.

[@matthewaderhold4875]

sounds normal

[@AlltimeConspiracies]

Loving the tip at the end. Will be sure to try it out!

[@WillAndTheTurtle]

I agree. very interesting video.

Same.

[@murdocha]

As a Public Health Inspector, I was very happy to see you take on this topic and even happier to see the results. Honestly, I detest air dryers. The problem with them is, as you've stated, they take too long, but also that only one person can use them at a time. Taking paper towel takes mere seconds and you can then leave, allowing someone else to use the same dispenser. In the 45 seconds it takes someone to properly use a dryer (and they never do), 9 people could use a paper towel dispenser.

[@HercadosP]

Haha, i know what you mean by "they never do" most people i see using the hand dryers play with them instead of using them

[@AIEmporium700]

"shake your hands 12 times" AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FO DAT

[@elisekim8351]

Just shake it 11 times, No one will notice...

[@failuretocommunicate8690]

While we're shaking our hands, aren't we spreading germs in all directions?

[@ZafarAli-dj5lz]

Lol

[@nataliagarcia8673]

[@gammergames3322]

Matthew Brandon no.. at worst it will go on the floor.. :P

I'm a paper towel guy... lets you sneak in a quick face wipe

[@richardikin]

Agreed.

[@OnsideHaddock72]

[@isofaux7570]

Or when you need to blow your nose or something. I've needed to blow my nose many times and run into a bathroom with the horror that there's only a hand dryer

[@Patagaton]

lol i saw that master race thing on meme pages too xD

[@MarkOfKhorne]

All these hand dryer fanboys saying shit they don't understand. Everyone knows that the Hand Dryer One has greater quality than the Paper Towel 4. Plus, the warmth feature is much nicer than that rough texture you PT4 nerds have. :P

[@xxuncexx]

I like the horizontal hand dryers. they dry really fast

[@Omni_G]

You mean the very cooling, ticklish one?

[@kylewilliams8028]

There are three types of people in this world. 1) The ones who dry their hands by paper towel 2) The ones who dry their hands by air dryer 3) The ones who quickly just wipe their hands on their pants 

[@modezio7411]

Nope, you're wrong. There are only three types of people in this world, those who can count and those who can't.

[@ankdoeslego9731]

And the V-Blade dryer. There's a mark 2 air blade as well

[@RealDarkFilm]

my school got rid of paper towels period and replaced them with stupid hand dryers

[@imoved2348]

Paper towels are better

[@ihascandee]

my school too :/

[@lukemontes2486]

Not mine :)

[@mattisdoinyamom]

mine hasent probaly bc no one drys just keeps there hand wet dosent shake them nothing to dry them and touch the door handle and its super wet😭

[@mc6148]

+RealDarkFilm In my school, we don't have hand dryers or paper towels

[@izvarzone]

Ugh, paper towels no way. Good old bath towels FTW!

[@therulerofseas9953]

I wipe my hands with paper towels while using a hand dryer, lol.

[@TessRandom]

***** Exactly what I was gonna say!

[@keyvlogs6378]

That's actually a really good idea!

[@myfairhands]

I use a towel and then finish off with the dryer

[@EZcheez]

I use a paper towel under the hand dryer.

[@MyProductBrand2]

I'd high 5 you if i saw you in the bathroom

[@DORC101]

YESS! I always knew it, paper towels for the win!!

[@firstname405]

Ahhh, no... The video said that the newer-style dryers were the best. If you use paper, I hope you are only using one sheet! :)

[@ishwar8119]

Yeah I always use paper and 1 sheet!

[@vegeta30000]

22s at a hand dryer? who the hell would stand there for that much time? I take about a good 5 seconds and then wipe my hands on my pants. "wah, your pants have bacteria on them!" shut up.

[@AtlBudtime]

i would take 40 sec. Or even a minute at the hand dryer if a hot guy just walked in.

[@12tothe3tothe4]

Lol I don't know why people think about that stuff, it's everywhere... we adapt, the weak get sick lol.

[@pineapleasassin]

[@MateusAntonioBittencourt]

People... Stop saying that paper causes deforestation... This is NOT true. I lived in a small town with the biggest paper factory in Latin America. A lot of people in my family worked there also. Paper is made with Pinus, that they plant a new one every time they cut a full grown one. They don't go out cutting native trees and just expected for the forest never to end... this would be insane. The only time deforestation occurred was 70 years ago when they first plant the Pinus. They don't need to deforest new areas since although the production of paper is higher every year, a Pinus that took +15 years to grow now is done -7 years, and have a lot less lignin and more cellulose. And the efficient of the system is also way higher. Besides, all the areas with Pinus have a lot of natural forest, a way higher percentage that is required by law. And Paper help decrease CO2 in the air absorbing it, thing that most people when counting the carbon foot step forgets about it. And please don't comment that this is only one case... Every Paper factory has to plant it's owe trees since natural ones is awfully bad at making paper. It's cheaper to plant Pinus and have a efficient system than to get natural trees.

[@sebastianleal96]

Thanks :)

[@mragaming2408]

But it does tho

[@KGNYC112]

Mateus Bittencourt Hah, you wasting your breath there buddy. You will never convince these liberal nut 🥜 jobs of otherwise.

[@moragoncalves7911]

Yeah but in most cases the space they use to plant the pines had other species of trees before

[@loredanavasilescu5634]

That was awesome information. Thanks

[@jord19100]

I hate that awkard moment when you turn on the hand-dryer, you use it for like 4-5 seconds max and then leave the bathroom with the annoyingly loud noise of hand-dryer all over the hallway...

[@MuyenKamran1nehal]

+Joгdап Йохансон me 2

[@mariesoullier]

Those Dyson hand dryers are my favourite, they get you bone dry in no time. Plus they're even more eco friendly than the normal dryers since they don't heat the air.

[@jeremiahbrand5430]

Yeah and when your stupid school that's a quarter of a mile long, has 5 minute passing periods, and only has air dryers, no one is going to freaking dry their hands.

[@randomlegos58]

Jeremiah Brand My school only has 3 minute passing time

[@bloky5556]

Jeremiah Brand my last school had 6 minutes

[@samvidas9599]

4 minutes. And most of my classes are all the way on the other side of the building from each other this year.

[@Blockman367]

In germany (at least where i come from) we often have paper towels out of recycled paper or, long white fabric rolls, that come out of the front of the dispenser and go in the back. They only use energy for washing and you can wash them at high temperatures. Don't see any disadvantages there.

[@howllevi251]

they use energy though

[@YZOBEL5000]

I am from germany to and most the time we use that hard towel paper shit

[@Forssa1]

I dry my hands using fire.

[@LeahRebecca]

ME TOO!!!

[@ferdy1212121212]

So... Are you walking around with a torch or just make a campfire in the toilet

[@naoimporta58]

I use plasma . Am I the only one ?

[@KevinAnimalCrossing]

Eros Viana I dry using plasma, fire, hand driers, AND paper towels

[@sweetyouthxo]

same

[@Amillionyawn]

I saw many public toliets using Dyson hand dryers now, they're super quick to dry.

[@robertknight4672]

I used to work at a Shake Shack in we had a poorly positioned dryer do dude only being you single stall and one urinal bathroom. If someone turned on the dryer while you are install you'd feel it under the stall.

[@young7931]

So I need a scientist to tell me how to dry my hands...

[@CrasherTxT]

I don't get it

[@lahdeedah87]

I love the new, high-powered hand dryers. they take seconds, feel really cool and are eco friendly. if not available I will use paper towel instead. regular hand dryers take way too long and make my hands feel cold lol

[@ThalesII]

Shake my hands 12 times? Might as well do a little dance while I'm at it

[@TheAerodynamicDuckey]

embrace that shit yo

[@theJellyjoker]

Shake your hands and fling water all over the bathroom, sound like a good idea to me.

[@Schleicherfreund]

Well, if you are a simpleton, then yes. Over the sink of course, did you even watch the video?

[@rodbrown42]

I usually fling the water at another person saying, "I hate it when I pee on my hands."

[@bigmac2839]

👨👨👨👨👨👨👨👨👨👨👨👨👨👨👨👨👨👨👨👨👨👨👨👨👨👨👨💩

[@mupert_rerdok]

rodbrown42 And their reaction usually is like?

[@theJellyjoker]

Schleicherfreund you and and I may use the sink but most will either not shake or shake while walking from sink to paper dispenser as most are not that considerate.

[@sockpuppie]

Wow the timing of this video is fantastic.I was about to start research on a school project on the effects of drying with air instead of gauze/towels and this helps quiet a bit!

[@DraoxxMusic]

Shake your hand 12 times? Ain't nobody got time fo dat!

[@a-aron691]

ah yes those days when these memes were relevant

[@theOneAndOnly12384]

Dyson airblade ftw. That dryer is so beautiful and feels so awsome!

[@suckmyartauds]

I always feel like people are judging me when I use two sheets of paper towel. :P Thanks for the tips!

[@KyrieNeverStops]

I love the Dyson hand dryers!!

[@berkeince1537]

you just stand there waiting 3 minutes for your hands to dry and when you are done. you still rub your hands on your pants who agrees #gopapertowels

[@NathanAndRose]

So it sounds like the best hygiene/environment option is to use a dryer, but stay long enough to actually dry. I can do that, we all need to slow down a bit more often anyway :) -Nathan

[@RynkaDraws]

I dry my hands on other people. Nothing like a good hug pat after the bathroom

[@RMG50cal]

Thank you for the book!!!

[@Coodae]

What about a hand towel that you use over and over again

[@martijnspaans7012]

+RockYoKop would get contiminated with the bacteria of other people meaning its less clean

[@julias110697]

+martijn spaans I agree

[@Crystal_saga]

+martijn spaans unless you wash the hand towel but I agree

[@teagan_p_999]

In a public place? If someone doesn't wash their hands correctly, they'll get it dirty. If you carry one around with you that's kinda weird.

[@RobertMinsk]

i shake my hands in the air (Best way!!)

[@itsjustaprankbrochill___3153]

True

[@samvidas9599]

You seen that Michael Jackson gif?

[@pandaonsteroids5154]

I refuse to use hand-dryers. Not because of this video. I just stopped using them. I usually just don't dry them at all now a days. I just leave them wet . .-.

[@sirlyteguhfirdausi6833]

taemin!

[@dianaetv]

Wow! I always had that doubt! Thanks for sharing all this information :)

[@Icariusinfinium]

I really like they added the point about shaking your hands to reduce the amount of paper towel to use, from that TED talk.

[@TheFlyinSquirrel]

I feel like using the paper towel to touch the door also puts more benefits in the paper towel side.

[@nhprman]

Wow. Shake my wet hands 12 times over a tiny piece of paper in a public bathroom! Why didn't I think of that? Oh, yeah, because I'm not interested in looking stark raving mad.

[@fpants18]

Just shake your hands in the basin. I promise it doesn't look weird.

[@nommernomz]

i think he didn't meant to shake his hands OVER the paper towel. just shake your hands after washing THEN grab a paper towel to dry :) that's not mad at all

[@teagan_p_999]

Shake them over the sink, and don't count out loud.

[@jcanimations2320]

I have a question what is better washing your hands or using purel

[@80sKids]

This is always the top question on my mind when ever i visit a washroom

[@teagan_p_999]

I don't mind the newer higher pressure/flow dryers, but who's gonna stand there for 45 seconds when it doesn't even feel like the dryer is doing anything? If there's no paper towel I usually just use my shirt. I'll try to remember the paper towel drying trick, though.

[@Maxtez]

I swear those dyson air dryers are 100x more effective than generic hand dryers...

You should do a video about which genre of music is the best to study to. Such as jazz/classical/hip-hop etc.

[@Shadowflame919]

But how do we get our sheet of paper with wet hands? Usually it just gets so soggy it rips and you can't get a full sheet.

[@RobertBarricelli]

I think you misused the term deforestation. Deforestation is the removal of a forest or stand of trees where the land is thereafter converted to a non-forest use. Examples of deforestation include conversion of forestland to farms, ranches, or urban use. (Wikipedia) Most paper in the US is not considered deforestation, since the harvested land normally remains for future forest production.

[@chimkinNuggz]

Paper towels anyday. I heard those hand blower things work with a guy blowing air through a hose in a room behind the hand blower wich warms the air

[@GeneriicUsername498]

this must be a joke

[@chimkinNuggz]

MrLOLZStudios101 what theyll do to save on electricty is hire someone to blow their own air into a hose in the back wich then warms your hand by the machine

[@zell9379]

RuggedALAN oh your not kidding...

[@chimkinNuggz]

Zell nope. Sometimes theres elfs that stand on one anothers shoulder to blow through the hose because elves breathout warmer air.

[@lorako55]

wet wipes or antibacterial hand gel is better to use, when have not soap at the bathroom?

[@minmax5]

I almost never wash my hands, on top of this i put my fingers in my mouth all the time. I also almost never get sick. I don't think i've actually been sick within the past 2-3 years besides maybe one or two colds lasting at most a few days. I think my immune system is probably quite strong as I continually introduce new small amounts of bacteria to myself.

I HAD THE BOOK FOR MY SUMMER READING

[@amekanasai]

We should trust Sheldon... "Sheldon: I had to sanitize my hands because the university replaced the paper towels in the rest rooms with hot air blowers. Penny: I thought the blowers were more sanitary? Leonard and Howard: Why? Don’t! Sheldon: Hot air blowers are incubators and spewers of bacteria and pestilence. Frankly it would be more hygienic if they just had a plague infested gibbon sneeze my hands dry."

[@scott98390]

Skyrim and Lapis I do indeed - because they _are_ too loud. This is a subjective statement - but I'd love to see the actual decibel data on those Dyson blades. I hate them.

[@Falthiere]

Skyrim, I have seen you before! On BdoubleO, right? Sorry if I'm wrong.

[@JWQweqOPDH]

Scott Baker I've gone to a Sam's Club restroom where you sort of stick your hands into a large hole in the counter in order to blow dry your hands, this may reduce the noise that goes into the room.

[@scott98390]

Maybe, I've never seen that configuration.

[@JWQweqOPDH]

Scott Baker It wasn't simply a hole in the counter, it was a custom shaped region with different material along the wall at the end of the counter, sort of how your bath is a custom shaped region along the wall at the end of your floor.

[@KHK882]

That is so smart!!! I will do that the next time I go to bathroom.

What about dyson air blades? We got those in our school.

[@narumi89]

paper towels because hand dryers are usually cheap and take 20 minutes to dry hands.

[@KimTrumpUn24]

And what about the use of cloth towels (cotton, synthetic fabric, etc.) and there effects???

[@cheetoeater1000]

That was insightful thank you ! ! Please make a prequel video on "Toilet paper vs using hand"

[@valwow187]

i like making more environmentally friendly choices but i hate using dryers, especially since they spew out bacteria on your hands. knowing that toilets spray water up in the air after flushing it makes me think that fecal bacteria are getting blown on my hand. idk if im just paranoid or what

[@drink15]

Understand able, but your walking in a room full of floating fecal bacteria, its going to get on you no matter what.

[@bugzkilla]

this ^

[@CarlyandJasiel]

bacteria does more harm psychologically then anything else; its good to have bacteria and be dirty, its how ur body is better able to fend off infections/diseases. this whole 100% clean-always mindset many people have is nonsense. So, dont be worried that u may have not dried ur hands thoroughly:)

[@valwow187]

drink15 i guess your right, what a way to shatter my dreams lol SirxCFJERKx thats so true, maybe i need to reevaluate my craziness

Paper towels are also more environmentally friendly.

[@JesusLopez-wc9jo]

***** did you really have to say stupid bitch?

[@BlondeAngel718]

Oscar HatesYou I meant paper towels are biodegradable/can be recycled and hand dryers use a lot of electricity... but I can see where you're going.

[@BlondeAngel718]

***** No need for ignorance.

[@RealTalkWithMitch]

HeyItsHannah☯ Well no. if you think about it. all the electricity and fuel used to bring that paper towel to you for you to only use once is a huge waste of energy. It would be pretty cheap to build a hand dryer and they dont really use all that much power.

[@Shuizid]

I would ask for more information about that topic. Handdryers use energy and are more complex to build and maintain and are also harder to recicle after their lifetime expires. But papertowels need to be reproduced quite often are are used up much more. so... yeah, both have their downsides. But it is not that hard to actually plant a forest but it might take some time for the tress to grow... The question is: on which data do u make such a statement?

[@dylancarter5083]

But paper companies plant more trees than they cut down though....

[@The1stDragonRider]

Do they really?

[@dylancarter5083]

Yes

Learned this method in 6th grade and have been doing it ever since. Really works

[@hunterdevoto5404]

I hate using air dryers, they're loud, annoying, take too long, and they leave you without anything to open the nasty door with besides your hands.

[@AtomicArtumas]

reason they should only be in public restrooms that don't have doors. (literally none of the in-store ones around here have doors, just twisty hallway entrances, thus they work fine.)

[@HercadosP]

But that way the bacteria's in the restroom would spread way faster. If they are leaving no doors they should put some ventilation systems from the ceiling (forgot how those things were called)

[@sweet1j]

sometimes if there is nothing to open the door with i just wait for someone to come in lol

[@archiecook55]

Agreed.
