Often a courtesy of mobile keyboards.

My dishwasher has windows.

I haven't been able to convince her to use Linux yet.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Friends don't let friends use Windows.

The mole man who comes up the drain to wash your dishes is very shy.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

I have a dishwasher with a window and can confirm the existence of the mole man.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago

The mole man licks them clean.

>dishes go in dirty

>dishwasher yells and shakes for a few hours

>dishes come out clean

Are you guys really buying this?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It barely shakes compared to the washing machine. I'm not buying. I believe little elves scrub the dishes clean.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Now the interesting part of the question. Most of us are probably pretty against the idea of slavery, but if you managed to pull back the curtain and found out it really was poor little enslaved elves in your dishwasher scrubbing all your dishes for you, would you say anything, and go back to scrubbing your dishes yourself and also try and find housing and a support network and medical and psychological services for the now freed elves? Or would you maybe just try to forget what you saw and keep putting your dishes in the magic cleaning box?

That's because the dishwater looks disgusting and your dishwasher uses the same dishwater for 20 minutes.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It does a pre-wash cycle to remove the really heavy stuff, but yeah I don't really want to look at it churning vomit water for an hour.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It would make trouble shooting some things a lot easier though.

There are plenty of dishwashers with windows. Unlike the others devices mentioned, you don't need to see what's in there. The window is just for fun. They make you pay for fun.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You don't need to see what's going on in a washing machine either, yet the fun window is usually included. Maybe washing machines were invented before paid dlcs. Or a see through water splash machine looks bad in a kitchen.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think I remember reading somewhere, that people simply didn’t trust the washing machines and therefore didn’t use them. Adding a window made it possible to see what’s going on and build trust in the machines

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago

Explains why I distrust that suspicious dishwasher

Work at a dishwasher factory. We used to make a model with windows, they were really expensive parts, which meant that they were really expensive dishwashers for a feature that really isn't useful.

It makes sense in a microwave or oven because you can check in and make sure it's all good, or pull it out if it's done. You can't do that with a dishwasher, it just runs it's course.

Plus all you could see in the thing was splashing soap water.

[–] [email protected] 47 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't lie, I know there's a man in there licking the dishes y'all tryna hide.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Where else are the house elves supposed to live in modern homes? We don’t have servants’ quarters and the closet is packed floor-to-ceiling with vintage porn.

Also, it wouldn't really look nice - a typical stainless steel dishwasher looks clean - a microwave and oven (hopefully) look clean and tidy through the window. But a windowed dishwasher? Half full of dirty dishes for most of the day, and even when the dishes are clean they won't look neater than a plain stainless steel finish (or whatever finish you prefer)

They just don’t want you to see the tongues licking the dishes

How has no one mentioned the randomly capitalized words, space before commas, and just general shittyness of grammar? I find it hard to believe someone would write like that without consciously making it as bad as possible just so people would comment on it. And I'm in just as much disbelief that no one has said anything about it.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

I spent a good while trying to figure out what the joke was behind the capital words lol

It's to hide the exploitation of the little gnomes that are enslaved in there. It's like most people enjoy a good steak, but nobody wants to see how it's produced. If you see the latter you're likely to become a vegan. Do you want to scrub your dishes by hand?

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Because it's disgusting. That and because of the Templars.

The German "Sendung mit der Maus" made THE video explaining how dish washers work YEARS ago!

It's amazing, watch it!

My first inclination was blender is critical to see progress as you set the time, ovens can see how brown cookies are but the dishwasher is a fixed cycle and who care... but then I thought about my washer and dryer both having windows for no reason what so ever.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Those are cat hypnosis windows.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago

The dishes are naked taking a bath. They’re just shy.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Fuck that. I wasn't sure if all my water jets were working in there so I put my phone in a bag while recording and ran that shit.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

you'll find that fucking video and post it right now

In all honesty it probably looks pretty gross all those food bits and dirty water being slushed around

Mine has a window and a light, but the light won't turn on until the dishes are done so you can effectively see nothing in there. The conspiracy continues!

Technology Connections did a video about dishwashers, including one showing the soapy food water sloshing out of it.

There's a reason they stay opaque.

Technology Connections did a great video if anyone is actually curious to see what it's like inside while running.

There's a Technology Connections video where he cuts a hole in a dishwasher to install a plexiglass sheet. It leaked like hell, but you do get to see inside while it's running.
