Salt-water Versus bacteria under the Microscope!

[CAMacKenzie]

This is why salt has been used as a food preservative for thousands of years.

Sometimes I feel bad if I smoosh a fly or step on an ant
But apparently dropping a little salt into some dirty water is a genocide beyond my comprehension

50 thousand men used to live here,
Now it's a ghost town

Salt literally sucks out all the water out of the bacteria. Imagine you go into the ocean and suddenly all your blood gets pulled out of you💀

This is why salt was used for preserving food before the invention of refrigeration. A salt crust on meat doesn't just make it tastier, it also kills and inhibit the growth of bacteria on the surface.

I’d love to see the water from the Dead Sea under the microscope.

Bro sounds like a supervillain explaining his plan to the main character

That's why gargling salt water in your mouth is important.

Seawater bacteria : "hold my beer"

This is actually really great to see, considering how often you're recommended to do salt water gargles with throat things. It's comforting to know that it doesn't just leave my mouth feeling weird and dry.

Edit: I forgot this comment existed, imagine my Christmas surprise

So all those French fries I eat are good me after all?? 😃

In childhood, my mother always had me gargle with salt water when I had a sore throat, I just thought it was a placebo (not that I knew the word for it.)

[georgieman]

And this is why meats are cured with salt. It’s an effective way of preservation

[weedconesuer]

My man's just extinguished an entire universe with a single drop of salt water 💀🤣

[nikko]

Imagine being a bacteria then suddenly the rapture happens

What your body count?

Him: 20 million bacteria

The salt solution kills them by being hypertonic to their insides and sucking the water out of them for a long and excruciating death. You could do the same thing with other molecules that dissolve into small atoms, not just salt.
