I have no idea how I became the person this meme is about. I am also dying to hear about how Christmas lights are all slightly the wrong colour.

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

OMG yes!!!!

A 40 minute video about dishwasher soap is either,

  • A, Incredibly boring and will put her to sleep.
  • B, Incredibly exciting and meant to shared.

Win. Win.

Tap for spoilerAlso it's B. Great video.

😂😂😂

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I have to watch videos about vacuum cleaners when she’s asleep so I don’t get laughed at

[–] BallShapedMan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

❤️, I feel you! My wife doesn't laugh at me, she tolerates my quirks.

[–] fox2263@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Haha yeah that too

[–] YoiksAndAway@piefed.zip 27 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Cool! This guy changed how I use my dishwasher.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Made me remember that my dishwasher's detergent door opens when you close the thing, and not during a specific cycle. 😬

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

How even?! That defeats the purpose entirely!

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 6 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

I guess it prevents it from being yeeted out entirely as you're closing the door? 🤷‍♂️

But, like... If it wasnt there, I'd just chuck it into the thing or maybe put it in the utensil thingy.

[–] emogu@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

This is what we do ever since the dispenser door stopped opening properly. Made no difference at all.

[–] CarbonIceDragon@pawb.social 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Mine doesn't even have a detergent door, just a divot to fill with powder before closing. It's one of those countertop ones though, so I guess the available space and complexity was a bit limited.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It probably doesn't have a prewash at all. That's the only reason the door is needed, to prevent the detergent from being used before the actual wash stage.

[–] spearz@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Instructions unclear. Removed dishwasher door. Dishwasher is now attempting to wash entire kitchen. Please advise.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

He didn't change how I do, but only because I saw the video before I got a dishwasher and thus never used it wrong.

Great read, thanks for sharing!

Following the advice of TC has made my dishes cleaner, so this insight doesn’t really matter to me personally. It’s good to do research and find answers, but pods just don’t work as well in my experience, while also being worse for the environment.

But yes, Cascade ActionPacs were a genuine innovation when they launched because the mix of powder and liquid was an actual improvement, and for reasons that are not particularly achievable with powders, because the funny look of pacs really does have a functional purpose.

Great if it works for some folks, maybe they’re not testing with enough variables to account for all water types, and all environmental conditions. Perhaps there are common situations not being accounted for due to the markets incessant need to build a single device marketed at everyone, where conditions will always vary.

[–] jnb@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 week ago

True to all your points; for me personally, pods work best. I find powder always leaves residue, and my water is hot enough so I know that's not the issue...

RE: environmental concerns, do remember that grand scheme it's 50 companies doing most polutting. And indeed using powders is better (tho one can argue wrt phosphates and results from that, but I guess just don't use Finish then)

One day this guy's gonna tell me I've been wearing hats wrong. And he'll be right
