Is it possible to catch anything from a toilet seat [CITATION KNEADED] Is it possible to catch anything from a toilet seat [CITATION KNEADED]

It sounds ridiculous, but I actively avoid using the bathroom at work, for fear of catching something like an STD from the toilet seat. Hear me out: I work in healthcare, and so am surrounded by all sorts of pathogens on a daily basis.

Why fruits taste good? [Citation kneaded] Why fruits taste good? [Citation kneaded]

If evolutions idea IS to create as long living as possible plant, why would IT create good tasting stuff If they doesnt want to get eaten. A fruit isnt whole tree but same Question as an vegetables. The salad would Be much More succesfull If IT would taste Bad. Grass wouldnt get eaten If IT would have Bad taste. Will evolution understand that plants would Be Immortal (lie) without its good taste?
