ELI5: If antibacterial soaps are banned, what is ‘hand soap’ actually doing?
gpt
You've got a field filled with rabbits, and they're eating your crops.

Antibacterial agents and hand sanitizers are like poisoning the rabbits.  The problem is that dead rabbit bodies are still strewn about, and some of the rabbits survive the poisoning, and their kids will also be good at surviving poisoning.  And rabbits hold a grudge.

Scrubbing your hands with soap is like flooding the rabbit holes, and physically washing them off of your field.  The advantage is that rabbits don't blame you for floods, and their kids don't grow up flood-resistant.

That is the strangest analogy I've ever thought of.
