    Hard fucking disagree dude. I’ll eat ass, but that does not mean I’m about to take the place of a roll of toilet paper. Awful take. I’m not only in this picture pointing my spear at you, I’m taking the first lunge and twisting.

        Toothpaste isn’t a disinfectant. It’s just good at breaking up the gunk on your teeth while brushing. If you don’t rinse your toothbrush well, or if you don’t brush that often, bacteria can grow and thrive on the brush.

    Why don’t we have toothbrush containers like the barber uses for combs? Like just a jar of listerine deep enough for your toothbrush, and a lid. And if it existed, would it be weird to put two toothbrushes in there together? Would the disinfecting effect cancel out the marinating cross contamination effect?

      Yeah, that would work if people would be fastidious about swapping out the Listerine.

      Given how often most people do so much as swap out their *toothbrush most of us would leave it until it mutated

    My personal toiletries are mine. I don’t even let anybody use my nail clippers. (I do have an additional set of clippers just in case anybody wants to borrow mine.) It’s not about what’s gross or coodies or whatever. It’s about me being particular about the condition of my own stuff.

      Right?! I had a roommate who would never rinse their toothbrush. I think. I have no idea what else would cause the kind of gross buildup I saw on it, so I think they just put toothpaste on it, brushed then put it back down. The bristles were all crusty and split and there was discoloration on the handle I’d never seen before or since. I wouldn’t want to share with them. They were otherwise pretty hygienic, but I’d rather not brush for a day than use theirs.

    Am I tired? I read the first part as “If you can tongue-ass the person”. So of course I couldn’t connect eating ass with using the same toothbrush. Unless you kiss afterwards.

    Technically right, but they might use a different kind of toothbrush. If you are a hard brusher and use a hard toothbrush, you could damage your enamel.

    I did that involuntarily. We had a guest. On the second day in the morning, heading to work, I saw her through the open door in the bathroom using my toothbrush. It haunts me to this day.
