5 Second rule

Do you follow it?
I sure as hell don't. It's disgusting.

Depends entirely on the floor and the food in question. Usually, no. If the food is something that I almost never get, and the floor is really clean, I've done it on occasion. If we get into cooking, it becomes more frequent. There's probably nothing on my floors as "dirty" as what produce comes into contact with. Just wash it off like I would anyways.
Lately this isn't even an option though. My dog stares at us while we eat. Anything that gets dropped is already in her stomach before we can try to pick it up.
--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way. I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today. Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear. I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear. You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

I don't follow it because germ transfer is fairly immediate. I base it on how sticky the food is, how much it costs, how delicious it'll be, and the conditions of the floor...

if I'm going to eat food off the floor I'll do it regardless of how long it's been there for I don't make a habit out of it but it happens occasionally

I don't really put a time limit on per se, but there is most definitely a cut off.
I really can't recall the last time I did it, so I'll just have to use something as an example. I may eat a piece of lobster I dropped, but if I only notice it 3 hours later, I'm definitely not eating that shit.

I think a better thread idea is what would you be willing to eat off the floor

Can't find it with the proper adverb, so this will have to do.

I trust my floor. So I'll eat it.
Plus it's the 5 second rule... Even If I go over, you fall in the 10 second rule then the 20 second rule, etc.... Essentially, you are infinitely safe.

There's actually been studies on this, if I remember correctly it took like 30 seconds for a significant amount of germs to transfer to food.

Usually I don't, but it does depend on the floor as shroomslip said.
If it's a dry type of food, something that wont go splat when it hits the ground, then ill snatch it up blow it off and eat it.
Funny story which is related, when I was 15 I was at an Allman bros concert and was giving some acid to a friend, they dropped their hits in toiled water on the floor in the bathroom at the venue, snatched the hits up and ate them anyway, shit was hella gross.

The 5 second rule is enforced by my cats. Within 5 seconds they'll show up and eat it if I don't.

I worked at a place a long time ago where this was accepted behind closed doors. Wether or not the entire staff knew about it though, I don't know. In particular, this one weird pervert named Tony would do fucked up shit all the time like drop raw, bloody wings into the frier when an order came in & then go back to rolling dough... then moments later drop a ball of dough on the floor, pick it up & set it back on the table. That guy was the worst.

No there hasn't. No it didn't
Here's a study even you could probably parse: drop an ice cream cone in the middle of the forest. Now drop a dry ass cracker onto a vinyl floor. Which is dirtier? There's no control whatsoever, right? We're talking about "food" on "ground". Stop posting, please.

In all actuality, most likely the cracker. The ice cream in the forest is just being dropped on dirt. Dirt probably doesn't have the same concentrations of bacteria that could make you sick as a floor in your house would. I'm not saying you could go eating tons of dirt and never get sick, but in a forest, most dirt is relatively untouched by the type of stuff that your shoes/feet are going to track all over your house originating from the bathroom floor.
I would literally rather eat a pound of dirt than even touch my tongue to something that has had direct contact with fecal matter.
All that said, it really isn't about germs for me. My problem is foods that pick up debris. There IS a study (I Googled it earlier when the thread came up) that points towards carpet actually having lower levels of transfer of bacteria vs hard surfaced floors. But dropping food on carpet is pretty much the deal breaker for me. Drop food on carpet and there's all kinds of shit that sticks to it. If a hard surface floor is swept and mopped regularly, there's rarely anything that sticks to the food (besides germs).
I kinda make it a point to not be a germaphobe for the simple reason that all it does is actually make things worse. We develop immunities by ingesting or otherwise being exposed to germs. I almost never get sick because I don't go out of my way to avoid germs. But don't take that the wrong way, I'm not taking a shit and having the toilet paper rip and getting shit on my fingers and picking up my hamburger without washing my hands.. Spend your life in a sterilized bubble for 20 years, and then go to New York city and watch what happens. Drinking the water in Mexico will probably seem like paradise.
