Worth a listen to this podcast: https://pjvogt.substack.com/p/wait-should-i-not-be-drinking-...

WTF is with these AI slop header images... does the author actually think an image of a woman crumpling a cup into her face against a backdrop of airplane parts is not going to distract from the post?

and wow look at that hand

2023 was a different time…

The article is from 2023. I wouldn't be too hard on the author as it was still a novelty back then.

I’d rather PJ focus on his podcast rather than making visual art. Akin to using a stock image instead of going out taking a picture instead to save time.

Having no art is better than that art.

Almost any mildly relevant stock image would have been better if having an image was that desirable.

This is bad advice:

« Do not wash your hands in the bathroom; use alcohol-based hand sanitizer containing at least 60% alcohol instead. »

Alcohol only kills some pathogens. Notably, it does not kill norovirus. If the water has coliform bacteria, you should wash your hands with soap and water and then use the alcohol hand sanitizer

Sanitizer also does not remove dirt and grime from your hands.

The better advice is to ask the flight attendants for a cup of bottled water and use that instead, especially for brushing teeth.

It says right on the bathroom faucet that it isn’t for drinking - anyone brushing their teeth with the sink water is a fool.

That people like the author of the article proudly don't wash their hands after being in a bathroom is a huge argument for washing your hands whenever you've been in public and trying to avoid touching your face if you haven't washed your hands.

Presumably the number they are doing is less than 2 otherwise this is disgusting.

Before reading TFA, I'd like to bet $50 that if the article includes the rankings, Delta will be at the very top and American Airlines will be at the very bottom
