It activates the same chemicals in your brain as cocaine! not-built-for-this

Well, yeah, there are only three[1] a few neurotransmitters. That’s not saying much.

You know what else activates those chemicals? Practically everything. When scientists breed “knockout” mice without dopamine, the mice just stand there until they die of thirst, because there is no reward for… living.

It contains more germs than a toilet seat! NOOOOO

Germs like moist surfaces. We don’t want germs on our toilets, which is why we make them out of porcelain, which is hard, dry, non-porous, and easy to clean.

If it had more germs than your colon, then I would be concerned.

      Seems wiki (at least) attributes it to lister in 1860s roughly, so might have dodged tv, but probably caught radio (died in 1912)
