THE NEXT CLANKER BETTER DO MY GODDAMN DISHES

Like... a dishwasher?

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 22 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

No, like the whole thing. Find where I left the dishes, scrape off the crumbs into the trash, tetris the dishes into the dishwasher, load an appropriate amount of fluids, [do current capability], unload the dishes to dry, then put them away in their normal spots.

I ask my partner to help with this as I have an irrational hatred of everything about this and dirty dishes trigger some kind of instinctual ick. Pls let me deposit a plate into a refrigerator sized receptacle that cleans and auto sorts dishes. Pls.

Just wear gloves and get some CBT. OCD isn't a quirky personality trait, it can get worse.

[–] arararagi@ani.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Can confirm, I always have at least 3 pairs of gloves because I also can only wash dishes with them.

This reminds me of Detroit: Become Human.

[–] Geobloke@aussie.zone 3 points 2 weeks ago

Just an FYI, if you have 2 dishwashers you never need to put them away

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

WHILE arguing about the bills, shouting at the dog and trying to ignore the TV blasting in the next room. Then it will truly have replicated what it's like being human.

[–] FurryMemesAccount@lemmy.blahaj.zone 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yes. They're really underrated. They consume way less water than almost all humans dishwashing, less energy if the human uses warm water to do the dishes, and work better if they aren't clogged.

Look up minutefood or technology connections about it on youtube

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I understand all of that, but my parents that won't move of my house will absolutely not use them. They'd rather sit there with the water running for hours while they watch soaps.

That sucks... So you're housing them?

That might mean you can set a few ground rules for money saving.

They chose literally the only widely-adopted home robot. 😆

Cough... Washing Machine... COUGH!

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

Not entirely sure why that doesn't feel like a robot to me. Hm.

Maybe it's because washing machines existed before electricity. I don't think there are any gas-powered dishwashers.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 weeks ago

You have no idea how much labor a washing machine saves.
