Why would you expect tap water to kill bacteria?
You’re washing bugs and dirt off.
Its also wash out bacteria.
The mechanical action of water running and wiping is what takes out 90% of germs and bacteria already. Soap is only responsible for that next 9%.
There’s still 1% unless you autoclave it.
Tldr: You probably don’t need soap for dishes if you wash them during initial rinse immediately after use and they aren’t super gross.
You still want to wash and soap your hands cause 10% of cold germs is plenty.
Also quit licking your fingers to open the plastic bags for produce at the store you filthy fucks.

I understand the idea of removing the basic dirt and grim that could still be left on the surface of the lettuce. But the idea that running the vegetable under the water has any help in sterilizing it has to be pseudoscience. Too many adults have this mentality that washing produce purchased from the grocery store drastically reduces your chance of food born illness. If your food is contaminated with harmful microscopic organisms in a food outbreak. I doubt washing it is going to change much.

Who rinses things to remove bacteria? I just want to remove dirt.
You wash because of the pesticides.
Also the bugs, fecal matter, and dirt that can be in the folds and pockets.
Bodies are pretty OK with dietary bacteria. Same goes for dirt, bugs, and Will Arnett.
Is … Is that Will Arnett?? Or am I missing the joke?? It doesn’t look like him to me.
This is Mark Hoppus from Blink-182
The level of idiocy needed to think that the reason you rinse it is to kill bacteria is disturbing to imagine.
