It's always interesting to see random activities highlight how different people's lives can be. As of the time I'm posting this, half of the comments mention a dishwasher.
I've never been in a house with a dishwasher, and literally just realized I couldn't tell you if I've ever seen one, outside of a screen. To my perception, they're like a magical tool that supposedly exists... somewhere. Maybe.
That's not a complaint, and not really noteworthy. I'm pretty sure most of humanity doesn't have one, after all. I just think it's funny when you stumble into another bubble, inside your bubble.
I know that I, too, enjoy things that don't seem real to someone else. Even being able to read this post is a privilege. Now, that's funny.
Also, dishwashers don't really work. You have to wash the dishes before they go in - best it can do is a glorified rinse and then a dry.
That isn't true for modern dishwashers. You shouldn't even rinse your plates before putting them in, as the detergent needs stuff to grab on.
Everytime I leave food/sauce particles on utensils and dishes, the dishwasher doesn't get it all off because it hardens after a day or two while it sits in there waiting for the next run. So I rinse everything off by hand and then use the dishwater to get every last molecule of food and idk, kill germs I guess. Plus it then drys everything for me.
