Make her watch something absolutely disgusting that no one should ever watch without knowing what they are getting themselves into >!2 girls 1 cup!< and ask her if she would ever use that glass again to eat out of.
And that now that's all you can't think about when you use anything that comes out if the dishwasher
A few years ago I discovered that my girlfriend takes monster shits. She only poops once every 3 or 4 days. When I say "horse turd", I'm not kidding, just looking at one of these makes my ass hurt. Anyway, apparently this sort of thing isn't unheard of. I stumbled on a Reddit post about something called a "poop knife". I repurposed my shittiest chef's knife (pun intended) for this task, which has cut down on the number of times I have to plunge the toilet. We wash it off every time with tile cleaner, so it never goes in the dish washer. I've blunted the edge since it doesn't need to be sharp, and my girlfriend is a complete klutz. I can easily imagine her dropping it and cutting off a toe. Imagine having to explain to an ER doc cutting your toe off with a poop knife.
Lol at all the people who want to throw out the whole appliance. Wait until they find out how much former piss is in all sources of water, what allowances there are for gross things in prepared food, and what's on every surface in human environments. Earth is one big mixing pot.
Give it a steralise cycle and it'll be cleaner than the counters around it, by any objective measure.
I am curious about the almost nothing else bit. What got put in the poo-poo cycle?
Edit: Psychology is another thing, and that's valid I guess, but man I can't imagine having disposable dishwasher kind of money.
dishwashers are fireproof, right? you know what, only one way to find out
Run the dishwasher in sanitize with like nothing else in it? Might at least make it acceptable in your mind
I think you’re right. I’ll do that thank you. Maybe extra detergent.
You can get dishwasher cleaner, to be used monthly on a hot cycle while empty.
Also, your wife should not do disgusting things. My dad put sandals in once and we shamed him for years.
Also take the filter out and wash it in the sink (unless yours is the filter-less kind)
Similar to the blood-brain barrier, we have a kitchen-bathroom barrier policy. Tools for each space should never cross, even cleaning tools. So even brushes for the sinks are separate.
almost nothing else...? Cmon OP, you've gotta elaborate there. What ended up taking a swim with the turd stick?
Some sex toys are dishwasher safe, it's not a big deal.
(I'm talking about the shitpusher, not about the croc. No idea why you included a dirty toilet in the pic tho.)
I don't think that's equivalent.
Many people happily lick the areas where sex toys are used.
Far less people would do so where toilet plungers tend to be applied.

I'm implying those are the same areas.
I've never ever used a plunger on a toilet.
See, this is one of those inconvenient situations where us Atheists really lack appropriate and proportional ways to express our feelings about things.
"oh your fucking god" works wonders
...That's genius. Thanks!
yeah, after a while i just started worshiping an obviously made up joke god just so's i could get good blasphemy back in my life
For all that it is in truth far more terrifying, I freely admit that expressions like "Oh, in the name of False Vacuum Decay" just doesn't land the same. It's s shame, really. Modern scientific curses like "may all your Li-Ion batteries grow centimeter long dendrites in seconds" are much more fearsome than they immediately appear.
I mean, "may your tap water turn to dioxygen difluoride while you're taking a shower" would make even Satan go, "okay, stop, just... Jesus, stop."
Yeah if I start cursing people with foof showers I'll get put on worse lists
It's important that you know this: That's a shit puller, not a shit pusher.
I mean, it always seems like it is pulling water into the cup and pushing it down the pipe at great speed to unclog it, but maybe I’ve been using a plunger wrong. I don’t really get enough of a seal around the edge to create a pulling force.
I see a lot of people having sink plungers next to their toilets. That might work for some things, but they might as well be using any other object.
When a pipe is clogged it's basically impossible to push anything through. It's stuck for a reason. The pushing motion might compress the clog somewhat, but it's really the pulling which causes it to move backwards and hopefully unclog it. This usually requires a plunger that actually seals the opening, or you'll have to push and pull until the water itself gets in motion to pull back the clog.
Another trick for unclogging toilets is to fill a bucket of water and pour it in a steady stream from as high as you can reach. Obviously start pouring from the seat and then lift the bucket while pouring. The gravity from the height will create a very strong narrow stream with enough force to pierce through or wash back the clog.
You don't have to get a seal. You just push it in. Then quickly pull it out, push it in, pull it out, push it in, ... until the water drains freely again. The pushing-pulling iteration creates enough negative pressure to get the job done quickly without a seal. But don't wear your best clothes.
I always did it wrong, until a plumber showed me how to do it.
(Side note, this is for a european/german toilet. Might be different in the US, US toilets are just insane.)
What exactly is it that you are Asking Lemmy?
Um. What would you do? Sorry if it seemed like I was bragging.
Where’s my Lemmy Gold when I need it
I'd look at her like she were an idiot and tell her to use the faucet in the tub.
Note that none of the words in the above sentence include posting this on the internet or asking what I should do because I'm a grown adult that can manage handling minor annoyances on my own. I acknowledge that this concept may seem foreign to people under the age of 25.
Good lord, they shared an amusing situation and made more than a few people's day with a laugh I'm sure ... chill.
Fake your death
Grow a beard
Change your name
Move to Brazil
Etc
Your dishwasher uses soap and hot water to clean everything in it and the washer itself.
This is no big deal.
Trust me chances are nastier stuff than your plunger has been in the washer.
For me personally it's the "almost nothing else" that went into the dishwasher with the plunger that truly pushed the narrative into holy shit territory.
What, you're going to run the dishwasher with only one item in it?
the bathroom dishwasher, yeah.
I’m a little fucking skeevee to buy it
Skeeved by the idea that the plunger that had poop in/on it was in his dish washer, where his dishes go, where his food goes before its in his mouth.
Skeeved by it, got it, thanks! My pedantry for spelling was overriding my reading comprehension skills 😆
It's actually not a big deal.
Run it with vinegar. Full a bowl with vinegar and place it on the top rack and run it with the hottest steam setting. 100% sterile inside afterward.
If she ran it with a very hot heated dry setting with the plunger, it's possible it's all disinfected anyway. Lots of people used the dish washer to sterilize jars for canning. The steam from the drying cycle is hot enough and last long enough to pasteurize everything.

Household Dishwashers do not sterilise, they only sanitise at best (with a 65° (150°F)). For sterilisation of all microorganisms including spores they would need to heat up to 120°C (250°F) for several minutes.
That being said you most likely breath in your own poop particles all the time, so sanitation may be enough.
it's part of our microflora that floats around us.
Well... my former roommate put the hair sieve from the shower into the full dishwasher. Like wtf. Sterilised anything by liquid fire afterwards.
I mean, of all the things, a hair sieve really isn't that dirty.
hair sieve
well... not sure about yours but ours definitely was.
Forever unclean!
