    the water you drink probably has been in Hitlers mouth and probably contains dinosaur piss. do you care about that?

    I used to wash the dishes, at least in Europe it’s standard to put all cutlery into 2 dishwashers and after that polish them with a very fine cloth. probably also in the us. (unless you don’t tip of course)

      There is about 1,260,000,000,000,000,000,000 liter of water on Earth. Lets say Hitler was a pretty good water drinker and on average he ingested 4 liter of water (not just in drinking but also in food). Hitler lived for about 20,454 days and would have ingested about 81,816 of water. Lets say you are a water superfan and live to be 100 years old, then there is a chance of 0.001185845% you will drink some of the water that Hitler drunk at some point.

      So it’s probably not been in Hitlers mouth. Dinosaur piss I’ll leave as an exercise for the reader.

        I’m on it. Dinosaurs lived for millions of years, so if we assume at least one dinosaur per year, there were likely at least a million dinosaurs. Dinosaurs are also very big. This means they probably stored a lot of pee. How much pee? Based on their size, probably at least a gallon or more. So now you’ve got 1 million gallons of dinosaur pee. With 8.025 billion people on Earth, that’s roughly 1/2 teaspoon of dinosaur pee for every living human!

        And let’s not even get into whether the water molecule is the same two Hs and O that it was when it was in Hitler’s mouth. Or, holy hell, what if his water became your muscles! Which, you know, is another possibility.

        But molecularly, not just by the liter, the air you breathe is guaranteed to contain a molecule of Caesar’s last breath from when he was stabbed with every breath we take. There’s way more air than water, so it stands to reason that not only are you drinking water that Hitler has drunk, you’re drinking Hitler’s pee! And Alex Trebek’s pee, I suppose.

        In the US it depends if the restaurant is considered fine dining. High class places absolutely polish their silverware, and the staff hates it. Probably every day, or two rather than every wash for the average utensil.
