does anyone know why reddit is obsessed with "mold and bacteria" getting into cracks in ceramic dishes?
because i have never even _thought_ about this but it seems like every other post that features a photo of a ceramic with a crazed glaze has folks jumping into the comments yelling about "bacteria and mold"
i feel like @owen maybe has a take on this
@oddletters I absolutely said "uh oh" aloud when I logged in to see this at the top of my feed
@oddletters so I do not have a take on this
I have a theory, but I have no basis other than reddit stereotypes
the stereotype is that reddit is mostly under 25 and very sheltered
@owen weirdly the subreddits where i've noticed this the most are tea related???
@owen @oddletters god DAMMIT I saw the start of this thread and thought I could escape unscathed.
It's unfounded, of course. But where does it come from? No idea.
@oddletters @wlonk you know.
where the _mould_ is.
@owen @oddletters mold and bacteria are my favorites, they make the fermentation and cheese go
@oddletters it really is
i can't tell how much is trauma from anxiety about filth, and how much is trauma actually caused by filth
