idk but i handwash my dishes

>>16089399
>what is a water bill

>>16089399
What are you talking about?
The 'spinny things' are run by the water pressure, they're not motorized

>>16089399
Because dish washers are a meme and cannot clean worth shit

>>16089404
very low because I'm not a camel spider

>>16089404
>charged by location not by amount used
fuck you i will take a bath and launder my bedding everyday

Why would I need a dishwasher to clean 1 pan, 1 plate and 1 fork?

>>16089399
Because they use up potable water, which is being used up everywhere at a faster rate than the water cycle can replenish it. Arid regions just feel it more keenly sooner.

>>16089399
I use one plate that I never have to wash because I use the useless flyers that come in the mail to keep it clean. When the flyer gets dirty, I just toss it and put a new one on.

Though honestly, haven't even really been using my plate lately because burger king gives you two free paper plates with every breakfast I buy there and those last me a long time before I decide they are dirty enough to throw away.

>>16089428
clean your dish washer

>>16089814
Until they stop putting fluoride in it can you really call tap water potable?

>>16089399
I live in a remote area in a house that runs off water collected from the roof so it matters to me
But I wash dishes in the sink anyway lol. I've always doubted this claim about dishwashers, it depends on how you use them. Also my sink is smaller than the sinks found in most homes, I guess because of this reason, so I'm using a fairly small amount of water every time I do the dishes

>>16089814
Wow, I haven't heard this one in a while. I thought "wasting water" was memoryholed with "hole in the ozone layer" and "diminishing rainforest"

>>16089842
what are you talking about schizo?

>>16089848
Those fad causes are dead, you're supposed to stop talking about them now. Your handlers want you to move on to trannies, covid in India and Brazil, institutional racism, and #stopAsianHate

>>16089848
That the establishment climate change narrative has changed so rapidly that things once considered very important have been completely forgotten. Have you not read 1984 to know what a memory hole is?

>>16089404
Do turd worlders unironically pay per liter and just not a yearly fee and then you use whatever you want?

>>16089418
The water pressure is motorized.
There's a pump in the bottom of the dishwasher, so basically the dishes are electrocuted clean.

>>16089870
I pay for liter usage in Australia.

>>16089862
Mate, where I live, every now and then we have water restrictions where you are forbidden by law to not use water for stupid shit like cleaning your car or water your lawn in the daytime.

>>16089862
It's exactly the same, actually. The different terms refer to the same things. The only thing that has disappeared is peak oil, mostly because we've been finding other sources of energy.

>>16089870
Water meters are a thing.
The amount of water going into the house is measured; water & sewerage fees are typically billed a flat fee for the location plus a usage tier fee for how many times the meter spins.
All together it probably comes out under 3 cents a gallon in the civilized world.

>>16089862
You forgot about them because you’re retarded. Those issues still exist. Rainforests are still being cut down for palm oil and people in New Zealand have to wear sunscreen almost all the time or they get burned to a crisp

>>16089893
Yeah, I know, but many places you just pay for how many m2 your house is regardless of how much or little you use

>>16089896
dumbass rainforests are cut down for chinese rosewood furniture not palm oil where did you get your botany degree

>>16089896
also why are people still living in New Zealand?

>>16089870
I'm in Pennsylvania and they charge by the usage. They also calculate sewage by just doubling the usage so they over charge. American water is a bunch of nazis

>>16089910
They're cut down for a lot of things. Living near SEA, the palm oil one is still talked about a bit.

>>16089919
I hear it’s a beautiful country.

>>16089404
Non existant because I'm a wellchad

>>16089399
Just their laziness trying to justify it.

>>16089815
gotta be b8ing

>>16089910
they're clearing land to make room for palm oil plantations extracting the oil from the rainforest

>>16089907
Usually see something like 1.6 people's worth of normal water usage included in the base rate, and then the next 3000 gallons cost another $25 around here.
So I guess use more water.

>>16089978
sounds about (((right)))

>>16089919
Because it's a beautiful country with a non-retarded government that actually managed to stop the spread of covid-19 and now has lifted most restrictions.

>>16089999
Because nobody was interested in going there so there were no carriers.

>>16090013
It has decent population, actually.

>>16089404
after experimenting with only using the dishwasher and never washing by hand for a month, I can safely say this is one of those retarded myths my parents forced on me. At most using the dishwasher even 4x per week where I live will wind up being an extra ¢14 at the end of the month, and thats if you do them all during on-peak periods

I will swan dive off a fucking bridge before I wash another dish by hand again.

>>16089953

>>16090127
I love this place.

>>16089399
Because americans are retards and wont close the faucet while dishwashing by hand.

>>16089428
>t. poorfag who never owned a dishwasher
when I wash the dishes by hand they always feel not completely clean, no matter how accurately I wash them. Conversely, in they dishwasher they always come out sparkling clean and degreased.

>>16090127
LOL what the actual fuck

my parents overload the dishwasher every single time i'm at their house and the dishes always come out a bit grimy.
it's fucking disgusting. they can't understand that you could just run the dishwasher half full, and everything comes out spotless.

they put bowls on top of smaller bowls. how the fuck is the water going to spray up into the bowl and clean it? it makes me want to scream.

>CHUDs: planet is overpopulated! we need a Final Solution to preserve our lands and resources!
>also CHUDs: huh? what do you mean water isn't free?

>>16090127
Leave me out of the screenshot

>>16089399
this thread has a disturbing lack of uoh-posters
also, dishwashers aren't food & cooking

>>16090127
Congratulations, you made it into my Top Ten Most Disgusting Images (that Aren't Porn) category.

>>16090349
Cunny.

You happy?

>>16090468
yes.

>>16090475
oh no

>>16090475

>>16089404
water bill?

>>16089399
you realize water pressure is what causes those to spin right

>>16090475
I wish I could read this whole thread
Anyone have an archive link?

>>16090573
have fun

I don't own a dishwasher and wash by hand. Not hard to do and I don't leave the water running the whole time.

>>16090193

>>16090320

>>16090442
As you can see, my golden plate remains spotless, no washing required and it's environmentally friendly not that I care. I mean, I don't not care either.

>>16090625
Thanks bud
Heres a picture of a rat as a token of my gratitude

Dishwashers are like clothes washers.
The only people who don’t use them are either in complete poverty, undeveloped countries, or part of some religion that bans electricity.

It makes it pretty easy to control your numbers all things considered. The US literally was not allowed to close its borders (not even to aliens from high risk nations) because "racism drumpf remember to hug a Chinese person ok sweaty".

>>16089404
Those things on a ducks face.

>>16089404
water bill is literally $15 every 3 months and I live alone.

I LOVE LITTLE GIRLS

I prefer to handwash dishes because I'm not a lazy piece of shit woman.

>>16091043
those are dog masks

>>16089399
To maximize water use, I run my dishwasher while I wash dishes by hand.

I do live in a literal desert tho and the sewer cost is higher than water cost

>>16089399
I’d wash her dishes if you know what I mean.

>>16091305
what did he mean by this?

any home-owner anons ever do a complete dishwasher install in an older home that never had one before?

its the only thing holding me back. seems like quite the process

>>16090664
I have a washer, but not a dryer. I think some amish communities allow washers. They're selective about what technology they use, and it varies from community to community.

>>16090625
Oh, it's not an anon spilling spaghetti. Lame.

>>16090127
Nigga you trying to fry a frozen sausage?

>>16091720
you might find this hard to believe, but the heat from the pan will transform it from a frozen sausage to a normal sausage

>>16091895
But it will dry out in the middle before defrosting and you will end up with a burnt core.

>>16091907
that would be true, if I was you. I possess prodigious abilities in the realm of frying.

>>16089932
creekchads and wellchads unite

>I possess prodigious abilities in the realm of frying

>>16089399
god i fucking hate doing the dishes by hand.
i can hardly imagine what kind of fucking imbecile wrote this post.

>>16089404
I'm not an expert but it sounds like a type of bird

>>16089879
Lol no

Be a happy family of 3 in Chile in 2019:
My wife works in a public hospital; I teach at a local University, besides managing a small family's business. Our daughter just turned 2. We cook every night for the following day and manage our house's chores without issues.

¡Yay, it's 2020! Now wife needs to do (at least) three 24 hours shifts per week. I need to re-prepared my classes to make sense in an online format while taking care of a 3YO girl who misses her mom a lot.

>>16089399 ¿I don't know anon why anyone would want to save even half an hour a day while cutting some water costs?

>>16089404
commiefornia is trully a hellhole and a dry ass one.

>>16090321
Amen.
My wife grew up like this; she just shoves as much as she can in the dishwasher without scraping anything off.
"Not enough to run it yet!"
Yes, there is. Just start the thing and put them away when it finishes.

But because she overloads it and points the bowls away from the middle, half the stuff doesn't get clean unless it's set on the all-night cycle.

>>16091425
Yeah.
You take out enough cabinets to make a hole, tap into the hot water line for the sink, and add an adapter for the sink drain. The drain adapter is usually built into a garbage disposal, if you have one installed. Sometimes need to add a vent to the drain line; goes in an accessory hole in the sink, like a faucet or sprayer hose or soap dispenser... so may need to change the sink faucet.

Maximum 1 weekend, if you're modestly handy. Probably just a long saturday afternoon.

>>16090127
bruh

>>16089893
Really?? Why even turn the faucets off then? it'll be like a flowing river to wash your hands on or shower. Heck if you're all green peace you could start bottling it up and shipping it to drought areas lmao
