The technology connections guy has a video where he puts a window in one to show how it works

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago

Minutefoods does a video with the camera inside the dishwasher, also pretty cool

[-] ndupont 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

And my Amazon order for pre-wash detergent tells me it was already 4 years ago, OMG. It took 4 years to go through that bottle, we're a family of 4.

They don’t want you to know about the dish gnomes forced to work in tight spaces under terrible conditions.

[-] Excrubulent@slrpnk.net 23 points 1 month ago

You don't replace your dish gnome cartridge every 3 years? I was told it was a feature. They get tired.

[-] meep_launcher@lemm.ee 11 points 1 month ago

Oh you absolutely need to replace the gnome cartridge, my dad would always freak out if we didn't. That's like day 1 of dishwasher school.

Technology connections put a window in one, it’s just nasty water swirling around and a lot of people would be grossed out by that so they hide it lol

[-] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 20 points 1 month ago

I also don't want to be looking at the dirty dishes throughout the week as I'm waiting for the machine to be full enough to run.

[-] Allero@lemmy.today 59 points 1 month ago

You don't want to see it.

For the purposes of saving water, your dishes are repeatedly washed in dirty greasy brown water before rinsing. This does not look good, but in fact it is alright.

[-] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 72 points 1 month ago

Not true. They are hiding the fact that there's a group of tiny gnomes forced to work the dishes. No one wants to see tiny slaves in their kitchen. They are pathetic and do not fit the rest of the kitchen ambiance.

[-] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 33 points 1 month ago

They're just in there licking all the food off the dishes after getting drunk on the "rinsing agent".

If you forget to fill their booze, they just piss all over your dishes, that's where the spots come from.

[-] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 16 points 1 month ago

Even worse! They're all nude!

[-] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

They have big dicks though

[-] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 6 points 1 month ago

And they glow in the dark!

[-] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

But they eat the boogers out of each other's noses. Which happen to be glow in the dark as well.

I think it Was on purPose To trigger Some Grammar nazis.

[-] salacious_coaster@infosec.pub 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

A grammar Nazi takes time out of their day to give someone crap about a comma splice or argue about whether or not it's appropriate to capitalize the first word after a colon. OPs like this are not "Grammar Nazi" fodder. It's just language anarchy normalized by terminally online brainrot.

I guess it's a stylistic choice to express emphasis instead of using italics or bold text.

[-] zakobjoa@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Maybe they're not a native speaker? German for instance capitalizes all nouns. You'll often find weird capitalizations in my (mobile) writing when my phone didn't correctly guess what I wanted to type. At least some words in the OPs text are German nouns (e.g. See, All), while others aren't.

Reading though the comments I think something I said earlier today is going to be true. Technology Connections is going to be the XKCD of video explainers.

[-] BluJay320 44 points 1 month ago

this Capitalization is Giving me a Fucking stroke

[-] LanguageIsCool@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

Your comment made me reread the post and it seems intentional to stress those words

It's to keep people from seeing the reality of recycled dishwater being sprayed at the plates you eat off of.

My washer and dryer have tinted windows. I have no idea why. I'm guessing their chief designer drives a heavily modded Scion though.

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 24 points 1 month ago

I have a window in mine. It's great, I can see when something's not cleaning right and I fix it. Saves on redos.

[-] MudMan@fedia.io 9 points 1 month ago

Same. I had a tiny countertop one with a little window on it.

On the one hand I get that people with large dishwashers don't want to learn how many times the same goopy water is recycled to splash over the things they put in their mouths, but it's kinda mesmerizing, if I'm being honest.

Duh. If they let you see how it's done, then you'll know how to do it yourself. And once you know how to do it yourself, you won't need to buy one of their expensive machines every time you want to wash dishes.

Why do they call it oven when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food?

[-] Quadhammer@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

when you of in the cold food of out hot eat the food?

[-] cley_faye@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago

Knowing how "fun" it is to make a truly watertight window, even with low pressure, matching both cold and hot and detergent and whatever's flying in there, I'm glad there isn't a glass pane to view into the dishwasher.

Also, I'm usually doing things that are not reliant on seeing what's happening in a dishwasher when it is running, so the cost effectiveness would not be great there.

[-] pulsey@feddit.org 21 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

How is it different from a window in a washing machines, because those are quite common.

I saw a see through dishwasher at a department store when i was a kid. a demo thingy. it was magical

[-] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

Like those cows with the portal in their side that they bring around to elementary schools to show kids how chambered stomachs work! (Just now realizing this might not be a universal experience and may have had to do with my elementary school's proximity to UC Davis (Agriculturally focused college).

[-] Catoblepas 13 points 1 month ago

It’s because watching a bunch of food water swirl around for half an hour is gross.

[-] wulrus@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago

Table top dishwashers usually have a window. My kid considered it a major disadvantage when we got a real dishwasher that the window was missing.

The Sears appliance departments usually had at least one with a clear front for demonstration purposes.. But you know what happened to them

[-] TwistyLex@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 1 month ago

There are good reasons to hide what's going on inside. Some are simply not prepared: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DIKJ6n-vSKt/

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I remember a while back discovering GE made a clear door that could be used for diagnostic purposes on some dishwashers they had built. Never got to try one out, just thought it was cool they made em.

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago

Hell yeah ... just like washing machines ... I'd love to be able to see what's going on side a dish washer ... even put LED lights on inside it and do a light show ... or control the lighting so that you can turn it on and off if you want

[-] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

The dishes want some privacy in their bath.

[-] fahfahfahfah@lemmy.billiam.net 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

I was once helping a previous landlord install a new dishwasher and during the first test cycle I opened it and he yelled “NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING”. Turns out he thought they filled up with water like a clothes washer. A window really would have helped him.

[-] dual_sport_dork@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago

A surprising amount of people labor under the assumption that they lock shut somehow and the door can't be opened while the machine is running which is bad in case "something goes wrong."

A) No they don't, and you can easily open the door as you have observed, and

B) If the thing were having some manner of hypothetical catastrophic meltdown, why would you want to open the door as your first impulse anyway?

People also near universally have a serious misconception about how much water a modern dishwasher uses, or rather how much it doesn't. Everyone unanimously insists to me that they can hand-wash the same amount of dishes using less water than a dishwasher. No, you can't. They think it's running water constantly while it's in operation and don't understand that it fills with 1.5-2 gallons of water and recirculates that through each phase of the wash, usually resulting in only two or three fills.
