Your Phone Is Three Times Dirtier Than A Public Shitter. Here Comes The Science.
Source – The average smartphone screen is more than three times dirtier than a toilet seat, according to recent research. Gadget insurance specialists Insurance2go swabbed three different handsets – an iPhone 6, Samsung Galaxy S8 and Google Pixel – to find out how much bacteria each accumulated. They found quantities of yeast, mould and aerobic bacteria in all areas of the phones. Which isn’t surprising when you realize the average Brit touches their phone screen 3,000 times a day.
‘Our testing found that smartphone screens harboured the highest amount of bacteria, yeast and mould, with 254.9 units of infection present per cm2,’ the company said. So, on average, each device had 84.9 units of infection whilst the average toilet seat contains about 24 units. An office keyboard and mouse has five.
Specialists recommend using a lint-free cloth sprayed with some diluted alcohol solution wiped across the front and back of the phone. Doing this once a week is all it takes to keep your phone bacteria-free.
I’ve often said the end of the world will be born in a gas station bathroom. Scratch that. We are all getting wiped out by the transfer of a million trucker shits to your cell phone and you bring those turds home and cook a beautiful chicken stir fry for your family and boom, you killed us all.
- Always wash your hands after you touch your butthole or genitals. Please. A new study says you come into indirect contact with 11 penis’s and 4-6 vagina’s a day. Bums? 14-20. This comes from dirty bastards who don’t wash their hands after using the lavatory.
- We are chained to our phones and 80 percent of people with smart phones use those smartphones whilst evacuating. I do it all the time. Golf Clash is my game and it can’t relax unless I’m reading or playing something on my phone. It’s replaced Ikea Magazines and Golf Digest in our bathroom.
- Wiping your phone down with anti bacterial anything on a daily basis is more than being clean. It means you’re a good citizen who doesn’t want to be complicit in the bacterial genocide of the human race.
