Hand sanitizer turned my pants into dust.

I was using hand sanitizer around the time monkey pox came around. I wore the same shorts a lot when I was running errands and I would wipe the excess off on them before I drove away. I noticed it was destroying them and I tossed them in the closet to take a picture of later and then forgot about them until I emptied the closet a few weeks ago. Whatever is in that shit continued to eat away at them until they turned to dust.

Isopropyl alcohol works in only 60 seconds. "Hand sanitizer" has additional crap that is not always safe for the body. Isopropyl alcohol is safe for the body; all articles which claim otherwise will eventually reveal that they are talking about drinking it. Ethyl alcohol is less safe, since people with Chemical Injury Syndrome can be sick for dayals, it's not good to breathe ethyl alcohol. Isopropyl alcohol has never destroyed any clothing, that I have to use it on regular because of a very disgusting person in my house. Of course, when I use alcohol on clothing, if does remain exposed to air to dry. Alcohol dissolves ink and can scar fabric; it does not destroy cotton or leather, but it does of course make them more brittle by drying them out, so occasionally that could turn into a problem later, such as leather flaking after several heavy applications in the same spot, but not an actual chemical dissolving. Peroxide will normally only cause holes when it's also exposed to sunlight, but for very weak fabrics it can eat away after soaking in peroxide for 24 hours. No fabric will ever be eaten by peroxide if it is applied onto the fabric, left for 10 minutes, and then rinsed with water. There was probably some other ingredient in that particular sanitizer, especially that fake sanitizer and sanitizer with ingredients that the FDA prohibits were all over the place at the time, as well as some using wood alcohol. It could also be something that attracted moths.

It's alcohol, the nylon in your cheap britches dissolved because it eats oils.

Hand sanitizer is the devil.
No one uses it properly, as in continuously for 30 seconds, so all it actually does is produce more and more resilient strains of bacteria.

Use alcohol wipes or get a small spray bottle and fill it with alcohol

What's with all of the crusty semen stains?

If you're going to use it to jack off, try removing your pants first

I used a dish rag to clean up some hydrogen peroxide once. Turns out that, too, can disintegrate cotton.

You have to rinse it afterwards.

Carrying hand sanitizer is for queers, so instead of AIDS, God gave you a warning.

The first thing they taught us in food safety class is that hand sanitizer is useless. I’m surprised people still use it.

Suppose it makes sense considering how many people know McDonalds is garbage yet there is a line of cars wrapped around the building every day.

Some oil dripped on the side of one of my tools. The rubber all melted off that one side. I'm sure there are many products that glycol or whatever the fuck that shit was will dissolve

[ - ] anon 1393400 [op] 1 point 5 monthsNov 21, 2024 20:43:22 ago (+1/-0)

That rubber was probably petrochemical based, that's why the oil dissolved it easily. I wish I knew what was in the sanitizer, I think I'll buy another bottle to experiment with, outside.

Alcohol. That's it. It's really destructive to cotton.

Maybe, alcohol would have evaporated in a few minutes though. They weren't that bad when I threw them in there, they were wearable but had started to rip and look bad. They turned to dust in a year.

Don't worry, it's perfectly safe to give to children. Also, using this product gets more people to do the jewish hand-rubbing gesture.

Now eat some food manufactured in the same country.

Isopropyl is a solvent and your pants are plastic.

It's either ethyl or ethanol, I've never seen iso in hand sanitizer.

Are these shorts hand-me-downs from DWB?

[ - ] anon 1523265 0 points 5 monthsNov 21, 2024 18:39:21 ago (+0/-0)

Lucky you didn’t put hand sanitiser on your dick.

What makes you assume OP has a dick?

[ - ] anon 1218412 0 points 5 monthsDec 12, 2024 11:28:06 ago (+0/-0)

People without dicks still have balls.

Also: The shorts. Females are not expected to wear these.

You think thats bad.

You'd be surprised what is in the "food" you are eating every day.

Next try leaving a tooth in cola over night. Or aluminum in vinegar.

[ - ] anon 1393400 [op] 2 points 5 monthsNov 21, 2024 18:16:28 ago (+2/-0)

I don't know about teeth but I've soaked a non-galvanized nail in Coke before, it doesn't do anything. Vinegar on the other hand is pretty good at taking rust off of steel/iron.

[ - ] anon 1218412 0 points 5 monthsDec 12, 2024 11:25:31 ago (+0/-0)

Vinegar is terrible because it "removes" the rust that was already there, and also rusts what's underneath it. Sanding would be better.

I never use that stuff, not especially during covid. All that was bullshit and lies, hand sanitizer likely destroys your immune system by not giving it the everyday shit to fight. All that isolation, hand washing, and sanitizer was probably pushed to make the jew flu worse.

[ - ] anon 4024964 2 points 5 monthsNov 21, 2024 18:34:31 ago (+2/-0)

Thats whenever I was forced to use it and didn't want to make a stink, I just half ass it with almost no fluid, NPC don't actually care aslong you emulate the programming, they mostely leave you alone.
