  Sounds like my laundry gauntlet. “I don’t care what your tag says. You’re going in a hot wash with everything else or you’re going in the trash.”

    why hot wash?

    I wash everything cold, and generally all together

      I often work in hot, oily, dusty environments. So if I don’t wash in hot, the smell and stains aren’t coming out. And I can’t be arsed to separate it.

      I've only had color bleed on its first wash, after that the tags are more like guidelines.

      For clothes yes, dishes need hot to break down the oils and grease.

      I used to do that but after a while the washing machine got a buildup of foul gunk that leaves little bits of crap stuck to everything you wash. Apparently an occasional hot wash is needed to keep the machine clean.

  Why does everyone like giant, awkwardly shaped, gawdy, hand was only in lukewarm water, non-microwave, non-dishwasher safe mugs that start peeling after 3 months? Is your talking pikachu mug with a speaker and light up tail really worth all that effort when it winds up in the back of the top shelf cupboard and you go back to white ceramic after 3 weeks? How many Looney Tunes mugs from Six Flags can one person reasonably store in their home before exceeding the legal limit for dissolved lead concentration?

  Why would we invent a machine that cleans the dishes just to invent dishes that the machine cannot clean? What are we DOING with our LIVES??

    The starbucks in my area used to sell the mugs that they also used in-store. They were gigantic (like 700ml?), completely white ceramic with a very subtle logo and only cost 10€ each. They’re also extremely fishwasher proof because they were made to be washed like a dozen times a day. After like 6 or 7 years of use (we got them pre-covid), they still look like new and I regret only buying 2 of them at the time.

    Ironically, I haven’t actually ever bought a drink at starbucks. I only bought the mugs because I saw them while picking up a Too Good To Go order there one time

  When I see not dishwasher/microwave safe I assume it is because the plastic becomes harmful and fuck that noise

    Generally speaking, we should not be eating hot food from plastic containers. I certainly don’t.

    Ideally, we wouldn’t use plastic containers for food at all, but that ship sailed 60 years ago. Also, even if you are able to avoid buying food in plastic containers, the machines used to process the food, even just to transport fresh vegetables along a conveyor line, shed plastic from gears and bushings, etc. But, that’s micro plastic, not the chemicals that leech from the plastic much more readily when it’s heated.

    Here’s a study about micro plastic in olive oil. TL;DR: there’s no difference in the amount of micro plastic in olive oil between oil sold in glass containers compared to oil sold in plastic containers.

    Kitchen knifes are also infamously not dishwasher safe. Mine’s got wooden handles but they were slightly worn from not drying them immediately when handwashing. Ever since I got a dishwasher I chugged them in there and they have survived without any more damage.

    • Warl0k3@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Generally the reason not to put knives in the dishwasher is because the mild abrasives used in some detergents, and more importantly the agitation which bonks them around, can both dull the edge (and damage the coating on the racks that prevents your dishwasher from rusting, if you have one that isn’t full plastic).

  My wife got herself a mug for Christmas and asked if I liked it. I said, “as long as it’s dishwasher safe I love it.” Wife checks bottom: “Dammit it’s not.” Me: “Is it at least microwave safe?” Wife: “no…”

    Some ceramics heat up in the microwave. You have experienced this probably, whenever the bowl is searing hot but the food cold. That’s when a thing is not microwave safe.

    When it’s microwave safe it won’t absorb the waves and won’t heat up.

    My wife loves to buy things that are either not dishwasher safe, or too big to fit in the dishwasher. Then she leaves them in the sink dirty and never washes them. Then those items magically disappear when I inevitably get pissed about the oversized water jug in the sink and throw it out. She will then buy the exact same thing a few months later. I have told her countless times that if she’s going to buy things that aren’t compatible with the dishwasher, I’m not washing them for her, but she continues to buy them.

    • Im_old@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Well sounds like you’re that guy from the meme feeding rescue cats to coyotes, so she’ll keep doing it.

      Either you leave them in the sink until they develop their own new biome, or instead of throwing them out, put them on her bedstand. Or her socks drawer. Wherever they are out of your way and in her way. Some people listen, some people need to be shown.

      Or even better you save and hide a few of them and when you have a big enough army of minions you place them all over the place. In her way of course.

      Why yes my marriage is going great, why do you ask? 😁

    Surely you can say this about practically everything you put in a dishwasher.

    Dishwashers aren’t really meant to be quick. They’re meant to be efficient and set/forget.

    I just pour a little of the hot water into it while I start my coffee brewing, swirl it around and pour it out, then wipe out the mug

    I’ve never had any buildup and it gets plenty clean enough, and takes effectively zero time because I’m already waiting for the coffee anyway

  My daily driver is a basic white, glazed mug I’ve had for nearly 30 years. I probably got it at Goodwill for 25 cents. It has no clever saying on it, because I’d get tired of that in a week.
