They don't want you to know

Here you go. It's gross!

Dammit, I had shit to do and instead watched a half an hour video about dishwashers.
Worth.
- There are, in fact, several more hours worth of dishwasher content from the same channel. Doubly worth it
- Wash it down with several hours worth of content on heat pumps. It's worth it.

Saw this post, instantly thought "Technology Connections", am not disappointed by the comments here.

The real reason is because dish washer water is freaking filthy until the last spray off.

You don't want to see that shit and eat off it afterwards.

I don't see why not.
- exactly

I got a new dishwasher that has a "glass front door". I paid extra for the glass door for this reason - I want to see it. But guess what - hahaha - the glass door is simply placed over metal and you can't see shit.

THEY DON'T WANT US TO SEE!!!!
wtf. like it's a window to a wall, or like glass back phones?

The author's unique approach to capitalisation and spacing really makes this.

I always automatically assume that a space before a comma means it's a bot.
I was thinking the same thing. I had to read it out loud to fully understand

They don't want you to see the tongues licking the dishes

there’s a little gnome that lives in mine to lick them clean. charges exorbitant prices though.

Obviously, the dishwasher manufacturers don't want us to know about the gnomes.
Gnomes with cleaning equipment.

And when your dishes don't get very clean, that's because the gnomes partied a bit too hard the night before and just aren't up to their normal standards.

Hmm. That's also a great name for a punk band. Dishwasher Gnomes.
Going to trademark that right now.

!fakebandnames@lemmy.world
Dishwater Gnomes
Cover songs of 90s alternative at x2.5 speed and an octave higher.
It's not the fact that the gnomes exist! It's how they're treated, down with big dishwasher!
No not punk. It would combine 80s one hit wonder songs with 2010s hipster southern folk.

Watching food cook is appetizing and also a necessity to know when it is done. Watching the slurry of fat, food rests and soap is not.

Then why do washing machines for clothes have windows?
- What are you doing with your clothes? Mine are rarely covered with fat, grease or food.
- They didn’t back in my day.
- To check the progress before electric displays and fancy indicator lights. Windows came before those upgrades when machines were still dial controlled.

My dishwasher has a window. It's a lot of water spraying everywhere.

Thats what big dishwasher wants you to think, they put the fake window to hide the dishwashing gnomes from the public eye. Wake up sheeple
- OH FUCK

Not in full swing but generally this shows you whats happening

Oh my god, thank you for this channel. I have found a new thing to binge

The only thing I remember about Stewart Little, beyond him being a mouse, is that in the movie he gets trapped in the dishwasher and he is only saved because the family has a dishwasher with a glass front.

For some reason that scene has stuck in my head for 25 years. And I swear its because of their weird glass-front dishwasher that is just so out of place.

I'm sorry to say, but that was a washing machine...

You have unblocked a great memory of my youth, however. Thanks!
- The dishwasher continues to remain a mystery then 🤔
- My whole life is a lie!

i bet it's mostly because it's fucking nasty in there.

Mainly brown water would be my guess, they an keep it to themselves.

You might be interested in MinuteFood's video on dishwashers. No clear viewing panel, but she stuck a GoPro in one. https://youtu.be/_haQLmfoWxI?si=6g3S7tix70bDdPhZ

I'd assume it isn't see through because you load it up with dirty dishes that sit for days before you run it. No one wants to spend days staring at the crusty spoon meemaw dipped in the peanut butter and licked like an ice cream cone before the wash is finally run

who the fuck lets dirty dishes sit in there for days lol
- I have twelve dinner plates. Often I'll use two a day (my partner doesn't share my allergies or diet and mostly uses bowls)
  We have many hot drink mugs
  We have twelve sets of cutlery
  The dishwasher runs when we run out of clean [plates|cups|cutlery] that is weekly or less often
- Modern dishwashers can easily clean tons of crust. That's why it takes them so long. As long as bigger chunks are gone and you clean the trap you are fine.

I remember Codename: Kids Next Door had an entire episode about what goes on inside a dishwasher.

Ah, found it! https://knd.fandom.com/wiki/Operation:_R.E.C.R.U.I.T.

We have a counter top dishwasher. It has a window. It’s not that interesting though.

Yup, was coming to comment the same. Mine has one too, it’s just not very interesting or even necessary to see.

To show what a dishwasher does, they built one with a large window on the side for childrens television ("Sendung mit der Maus", German public TV Station ARD). Quite interesting and informative.

I guess you mean this one? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2X-gwfX4aA
Bonus video: Your dishwasher is better than you think
- Exactly that one. Thanks.

It might also have to do with the fact that a window is more expensive, but required for ovens and microwaves as food night burn otherwise, but usually there's no issue running a dishwasher longer than exactly required

It’s definitely not required for ovens. You can just open the oven. Source: previous oven (1950s vintage) didn’t have one.
Pretty useful though, and pretty important on microwaves too since you can’t safely open the [microwave] oven while it’s running.
- You can open it but you every time you do, you lose heat, which has to be compensated for by the oven. A window makes the process much easier. There wouldn't really be measurable gains for a dishwasher
- How's it not safe to open the oven while running? Just don't touch anything without mitts and keep your face back.

Mine has one, it's cool

Can you send a picture? I've truly never seen one
- I miss pics or it didn't happen.
  Which is kinda broken thanks to AI.
- Do you not realize you can just find pictures yourself? It would have taken you less time to do than to write that comment.
- It's in storage now but here is a video of the same model
  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uIkg06V3NHc
  I can watch it go for a full cycle, especially at night when all the lights are out, it's like a light and water show.

"It's the best idea I ever had!"

Exactly what I was thinking of. 30 Rock is one of the best TV comedies ever. The jokes-per-minute is unrivaled.

Here's an idea you can have for free, manufacturers: air fryer window

Those do exist on the larger ones, they are also usually more expensive tho

I bet you it would be the most interesting to see out of all of these.

This video by Technology Connections has a few scenes where you can see one at work.
- So amazing to me that this has got to be one of his most popular videos.
  Like...this vid went viral as hell. People are passionate about dishwashers. And I get it. There's a lot of misinformation out there.

It's because the water is t o o w e t

I was going to say "Well, it needs to be sealed tight to keep the water in", then I remembered washing machines exist. Now I am questioning this too.
