Rupert Murdoch doesn’t understand dishwashers.

“I just can’t visualise how my servants fit in there to clean the pots!” says the nonagenarian opinion-controller.

I saw this article about a "money saving dishwasher tracker hack" and, hoped against hope that it would be the most logical, simplest solution: just get normal dishwasher detergent that doesn't come in bricks. Sadly, though, people are involved so, rather than the obvious solution, they continue to buy pointlessly expensive dishwasher tablets and then cut them in half.

What. The. Hell?

Oh, for the record, the "expert's" opinion was that cutting tablets in half isn't a good idea. They have several reasons for this but stopped short of saying "if you want to be able to determine how much detergent you use, stop buying individually packaged detergent bricks."

Dishwashers are not only a convenience but also a potential health hazard. New research reveals dishwashers can harbour harmful bacteria and fungi that can cause chronic illnesses such as asthma, allergies, and eczema. The researchers suggest that using lower temperatures, less detergent, and more natural cleaning products can help reduce the risk of exposure.

Here's a memory post from 10 years ago that showed up on my social media thread, this morning, from another platform:

(It's fun to shop with me)

A conversation at the store:

ME: I am looking for a dishwasher with no more than 48 decibels in noise output.

Sales Person: This model here is 50 decibels; which the human ear cannot distinguish between the 2 decibels more.

ME: I see and hear dead people. I would like to see a dishwasher with no more than 48 in noise output.

Fucking #Dishwashers suck. They heat their own hot water using a heating element. How inefficient. Here's a patent to change that to use an induction heater. https://patents.google.com/patent/EP2100996B1/en

Why don’t American #dishwashers have water softeners? What happens when they get limescale build-up? Is it a #crappyDesign, or are they doing something clever to not need soft water? #askFedi

@elizabethtasker here's a nice one : "no #definition is perfect. Brooks is not enthusiastic about considering #dishwashers a class of #robot" 😜 https://robots.ieee.org/learn/what-is-a-robot

I know #dishwashers are very patient and uncomplaining but do you think that - sometimes - they want to shout out, ‘That’s the third time you’ve opened me up and disturbed my work to add yet another cup. Can’t you organise yourself?’

Oh no!

According to this study, certain chemicals used in high-speed #commercial #dishwashers (in schools, restaurants) can cause #damage to #gut lining, increasing risk of food allergies & chronic diseases with gastric inflammation conditions such a #ibs #ms or even #alzheimers.

To top it all off, the caking of the toxic agents on the dishes is caused mostly by not taking the effort to apply an additional rinsing cycle. 😓
