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.
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)
I saw this post and was all “yeah, where the hell is the dish window!” But then reading your comment, all these points are pretty obvious and make total sense ahah.
washing machines tho
Just curious, what’s the reason for these parts to be expensive? Is it that they have to be properly sealed (unlike an oven)?
Don’t lie, I know there’s a man in there licking the dishes y’all tryna hide.
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.
In the wall hole that suspiciously looks like a doorway.
That’s where the mouse lives. And it sleeps in a bed made out of a matchbox.
This has me thinking, could I have a cheaper microwave with no window? I mean i guess the window has saved me a few times because of stuff getting over-nuked but I never even considered the idea of not having one.
One has to keep radio frequencies from leaking the other has to keep water from leaking. One of the two are much harder to do.
Even some fridges have windows now 🤔
I’ll be more impressed when windows have fridges
That’s known as winter.
Great now I have to keep my fridge tidy and clean too
You don’t have to buy one with a window.
Hell I saw fridges with Android screens and I’m like hell naw. I did get a smart one so I can get notifications if the kid leaves the door open and so I can track power consumption over time without sticking a kill-a-watt in a really tough spot. But the Android systems they put in fridges feel obsolete on the showroom floor. Absolutely embarrassing, and probably completely useless after about 4 or 5 years when Android stops supporting the SoC and when you stop getting root certificate updates and start getting SSL errors on every page and app.
It’s the plastic industrial complex / plutocracy I tell ya hahaha
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?
Mythbusters did it.
My dishwasher has windows.
I haven’t been able to convince her to use Linux yet.
This is so sad.
I know. One family, two operating systems. But we can handle it.
Ba-dum
The cymbal’s not configured properly at the moment.
Friends don’t let friends use Windows.
But guys will do anything for boobies.
Am I the only one who frequently thinks of Tracy Morgan saying “It was all worth it to see them boobies” as the host of some weird reality horror show years ago when I see the word boobies?
Nope! I know a guy who’s last name is super close to spaceman, so I always call him Space Man. Tracey is hilarious!
They just don’t want you to see the tongues licking the dishes
Because it’s disgusting. That and because of the Templars.
Not to mention how disgusting The Templars are…
Im gonna need an explanation for the templars involvement here
Just shows us that Jack Donaghy is fictional
I came here to see if Jack was going to mentioned.
“There are no bad ideas. Only good ideas that go horribly wrong.”
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.
Not just put a few action cameras in there?
he talks about why he didn’t do that in the video
Fair enough:)
That’s because the dishwater looks disgusting and your dishwasher uses the same dishwater for 20 minutes.
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.
It would make trouble shooting some things a lot easier though.
I was in a band called Churning Vomit Water for a while. Best polka ensemble of zero counties!
To be fair, if you do your dishes by hand, the water in the sink also turns into some disgusting sludge after just a few plates.
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.
It is also nice to see if one of the spinners is blocked. Saved me quite a few batches.
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.
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
Explains why I distrust that suspicious dishwasher
They could add that sliding cover which plane windows have
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.
That video is why I went back to powder instead of gel.
I don’t have a dishwasher and I don’t have time to watch this video about dishwashers right now, but I am really curious, why is the powder better than gel?
Dishwashers do a pre-wash to get most of the big stuff off, then a main wash to finish up. If you use the capsule-things, there’s only soap for the main wash.
If your dishwasher has two compartments, then put detergent in both as one is for the pre-wash and one for the main wash.
If it doesn’t have two compartments, then just put some detergent loose with the dishes for the pre-wash.
Gel is basically powder with water mixed in, therefore you are basically buying water for them to premix your detergent with at the factory. You end up paying more for a container of detergent that doesn’t last as long, is heavier, and is more expensive. Powder forever!
He also mentioned something about a chemical reaction that happens when the powder hits water that you miss out on when using gel.
It sucks because a lot of places around me don’t carry powder. I’d much rather be using that than the gel.
Goop in a bottle also works, so long as you get it in both little cups. One is exposed from the get-go and the other gets dumped in later.
Like the Gwyneth Paltrow stuff?
Or the 90s mechanic soap? Does that still exist? I don’t know.
me too, but I was disappointed it didn’t really make much difference. Though I did figure out recently I might have just been under-dosing. Really hard to tell on my dishwasher as it provides no instructions on quantities, and the fill lines don’t make and sense because while it has the 2 receptacles for the pre-wash and wash settings, they’re tiny shallow dimples that both reside in the same larger cavity for power but have no dividing wall between them. So if you fill the wash section up to the minimum (which is a surprisingly large amount), it necessarily spills over in to the prewash section. It also has no recommendations for differing levels, despite having minimum and max fill lines, so I don’t know when I would fill to one or the other and then to top it all off, no mention of the concept of filling anything at all in to the pre-wash section, despite having some kind of pre-wash settings and a dedicated spot in to which you’d pour the powder for pre-wash. It also makes no sense for that pre-wash section to be there, because in the video and on older dishwashers, the wash and pre-wash recepticals have their own doors that flip open at different times, hence pre-wash, but on mine, both of the little indentations in to which you could pour powder are in the same cavity with the same door. It’s weird, they clearly didn’t expect anyone in this day and age would still use powder even if it’s theoretically better. I’ve been making up a quantity to put in to the pre-wash, assuming it helps but really no idea.
Mine has two cavities, as well. I just fill one and sprinkle a little on the door for pre-wash. Seems to do well.
Mine has a window actually. Its a smaller countertop dishwasher tho so maybe that has something to do with it.
why do some People , type like this
Often a courtesy of mobile keyboards.
That, or if they’re like me, the person is just very tired. If I am extremely tired, I basically just hit shift on every word and don’t care about it. In such cases, I might fix my posts and comments in the morning, or even delete them if they feel too much like “what the fuck did I write there”.
Another key to identify those is double words.
Example: I Only Started Started Using Computers When When I Was 14.I type on a mobile keyboard. Have for over a decade. I’ve never typed like this.
Why the fuck does autocorrect randomly capitalize certain words? It’s so irritating. I’ve never had any issue with commas though, so I don’t know where that’s coming from.
If they have their keyboard set to a different language but type in English anyway, then it learns English words exactly how they’re spelled. Which means they probably spelled Window with capital W at some point and then it got autocorrected to that exact spelling.
Oh, I see. That makes total sense. Mobile keyboards have truly wrecked the general population’s ability to use proper grammar. One thing I’ve noticed a lot is that they also tend to insert unwanted apostrophes. For example, typing “its” always corrects to “it’s,” which is very frustrating.
I’m pretty sure I turned that off ~8-10 years ago and Google has just remembered it ever since
Also I use swipe typing so that probably helps too
It’s its s that’s attached to it
this is art
Gboard does a pretty good job at highlighting your errors correctly in context. I’d guess it’s iPhone users fucking up grammar that much.
Gboard’s autocorrect is also fucking atrocious.
Which is due to missing context at the end of a sentence, probably. Therefore it just chooses the most likely, but often not best, word.
Workaround: Disable autocorrect, and check for underlined words afterwards.
Sometimes your keyboard also remembers when exactly you use certain words - like in the beginning of sentences, which most keyboards will capitalize by default.
I hate the whole “its” being converted to “it’s” no matter what thing, but what I hate more is when I teach the keyboard a word, and it STILL won’t let me use it. Taught my keyboard “that’d” and it would autocorrect it to “that’s” every time. And unlike other words, if I went back and manually corrected it back, it wouldn’t leave it, it’d force it back to “that’s” again and refuse to let me change it. Come to think of it, it did that with “it’d” to “it’s” too. Eventually I just switched to a different keyboard with much less aggressive autocorrect, since I still need the autocorrect to type with any semblance of speed due to minor coordination issues.
My old keyboard abruptly started autocorrecting more typos into what I was saying than it corrected toward the end anyway. Probably some shoddy attempt to implement AI auto correction.
Good call! I hadn’t thought of that factor; even though my English keyboard does that, too. I can’t type random things it didn’t know until it was taught like “BLARGH” without it auto-capitalizing the entire thing, like it just did here.
Which is extra hilarious when it’s more nonsense memey things like “SQUART” or “VAGANAINIA” or “PREGANTE” or “DIYUCK” that my friends and I would spam each other with. Looking through the list of words it added to my ‘personal dictionary’ was hilarious. I struggle to get it to type all that nonsense in lowercase and it tickles me!
Google’s keyboard is the absolute worst for that, tried using it for a bit but I’m back to SwiftKey which isn’t absolutely insane (and which has more customization options too)
I still miss Swype too, and hopefully one of the open source keyboard apps will get good enough to replace all of them soon enough
I’m on SwiftKey too and switched from Gboard for similar reasons. The only reason I’m not running one of the open source ones is that typing with one hand is unbearable without being able to to swipe, and I use my phone in bed a fair bit.
My biggest gripe about the Chinese keyboards
Carrot commas.
None of your replies even address the weird spaces before commas thing. I’ve directly asked people on Reddit and the answer is always idk if they even reply at all.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plenken
In German, the practice of inserting a space before punctuation marks is called Plenken. It used to be a common practice, but nowadays it is considered an error.
I see this more often from people for whom English is a second language. Maybe that’s the case here?
It might be, but they can never explain why. Is there some other language that does this? I don’t know of one.
Auto insertion of space in mobile keyboards. Usually they also remove the preceding space when you press enter, but if somebody manually presses space after an automatic insertion of space then you get double spaces and only one will be removed
I was wondering why my mind automatically tried to read this as poetry
They never paid attention in schoo.l
It might come from languages like German where nouns are capitalized. Even in English proper nouns are capitalized so I don’t see why that bothers you so much
I don’t think the All, Refuse, See, No, and Never in that screenshot are nouns. They also didn’t capitalize microwave.
Fair enough. They might just use autocorrect wrong, idk
Personally I typically type like that (and like this) due to typing like I speak
Stilted with many gaps
Sometimes with a lot of parentheses due to the scatter shot nature of my brain
But that’s a conversation for another time
Okay there, Kerouac.
Yeah, I see people use commas as pauses where commas definitely aren’t supposed to go and that make no sense whatsoever (to me, anyway, but I know not everyone has the same education, resources, etc.) all the time. I think that’s part of what’s going on here.
It sounds like our brains work very similarly, fellow random-parentheses-using scatterbrain! I’m both glad I’m not alone and also sad that you experience this frustrating shit, too, haha. I feel for you.
I much prefer the way you break up your thoughts, by the way. It flows better, makes more sense, and reads in my head voice more like it would if you were speaking (to me, anyway!)
So your speaking voice is grating, and you type the same way on purpose? Why? Just to mentally exhaust everyone around you? Is this a BDSM thing?
How do you think they come out warm and clean?
My farts are also warm and slightly moist. Coincidence?
Does your ass have windows?
