i don't follow the 5 second rule because it usually takes me at least 30 seconds to care enough to pick it up, at that point i exam the object for debreeze, blow it, exam it again, and if my gut tells me to put it in my mouth that is what will happen

Damn you're lazy 
Assuming my dog didn't get to it before I could reach for it, I always pick it up immediately, regardless of whether I intend to eat it or not.
That bitch is fast though. She literally just sits there staring at us and practically grabs it midair. We don't even drop food that regularly, she just knows that if she watches every time we eat, there's a chance she'll get some of it.

Does the 5 second rule apply to a load you wanted to swallow, but missed so it landed on the floor and now you gotta lick it up off the bus station bathroom floor?

No, because it's a bathroom floor. That is a red zone.

most food poisoning comes from shitty rotting food thats had turds sprayed on it in mexico and picked by workers who don't wash. i doubt anybody in the history of human kind has ever died from dropping food on the ground and then eating it unless they dropped it on a pile of shit which prolly has happened back when they threw buckets of it out their windows. But modern times here, even the dirtiest of carpets most likely don't harbor anything that causes food poisoning because 99% of it isn't food, so the bacteria isn't there in high enough quantities where you would drop something and it would be so contaminated that you get sick. in other words its mostly mud, dust, dust mites, dead skin, maybe some ring worm, fungus, stuff like that. Unless of course you live with someone who wears diapers or wipes with their hand and doesn't wash. Now im not saying i would eat off anybody elses floor, and if i lived in a house where nobody ever vacumed i prolly wouldn't eat off those either.
im just saying i think its highly unlikely anybody has gotten sick off a typical household floor and to me the risks don't outweight the reward, there's lots of edible food on the floor if your bored and go looking

I can't tell if you are trolling, or... No, different 5 second rule. Here people are hurrying to avoid germs, not to avoid another beating from Daddy.

arn't u the guy who makes all those rube goldberg machines? your next one you should make that transports your sperm from start to finish. you start it by jerking off into a cup, the weigh pulls something, and the cup drops or slides somewhere, then at the end of the machine the cup gets involved again somehow, like catapulted onto a picture of miley cirus on a wrecking ball

God, no. Not even when I'm drunk. It doesn't take 5 seconds for whatever germs are on the floor to stick to that food. There is 0 logic in the 5 second rule, it's simply an excuse for people to try and get away with something that would otherwise be considered disgusting, except, there is no otherwise, it is disgusting... So cut it out, you philistines.

Philistine? I'm just saying, if a truffle souffle falls on the floor, it doesn't turn into a cheese omelet. You're a prude. :P

The 5 second rule is such a first world problem it's pretty funny.
So many poor (as in the wealth sense) countries/cultures/civilizations out there won't even think twice about eating food they dropped, because they can't afford to. There's at least one place I know of (thanks to Bizarre Foods) where they use the sand/dirt and charcoal/ash to cook their food. It's some type of bread. They're like "take your 5 second rule and shove it up your ass".

We have very refined systems, just because a dog/cat can eat off the floor with no danger, doesn't mean we can. Dogs eat shit all the time. Try a steady diet that includes shit and see how sick you get

humans who live in the wild don't get sick, or nearly as sick from drinking unclean water. We created a bubble around ourselves that weakened us, and not eating off the floor is a key example. i could leave a carrot on the floor for hours and still eat it and not get sick, prolly even days, might need a quick rinse first

So you might need to rinse it off first? Meaning you migbt need to get the germs that it contracted while on the floor, that will make you sick off of it, before you eat it?

ok so 2 days ago i was eating beef jerky, i had it in my lap and it tipped forward and spilled the entire bag on the floor, so i picked it up and blew it all off and ate it. Then that same night i was opening a popcicle and the dam thing slid out of the package but i closed my legs fast enough to catch it. i got chocolate icecream all over my crotch and between my legs and of course i just blew on it and ate it. so anyways today i kept feeling something hard on the floor, my foot kept bumping into it, low and behold its another piece of beef jerky! what a pleasant surprise!

Did you notice it was the same piece from the day prior, or just instinctively shove it in your mouth like a desperate animal?
Questioning food is so bourgeois.
