Good time to share How to use one paper towel (to thoroughly dry your hands in a public restroom).

Shake. Fold. It really does work.

that was a nice watch, but more times than not I just use my pants

I try to use your pants too, but you walk really fast.

Glad you posted it, this dude is oddly compelling! One of the few talks I remember and actually act on regularly...

Can't watch at the moment; is this the guy who says to shake 7 times before you dry?

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

12, but I do 7 or 8 usually.

And yes.

Why 12? 12 apostles. 12 tribes. 12 zodiac signs. 12 months. The one I like the best it's the biggest number with one syllable.

It's also a superior highly composite number, which is a lot of words to say it has many factors. That means it can be divided easily.

It just gets a lot of water drops off your hands and the air drying helps

Is it also the guy who ends with the joke that his next talk will be how to do the same with toiletpaper?

The next person in line breathing in your neck dries your neck as an added bonus!
