Experts agree, pre-rinsing makes them come out dirtier (lemmy.nz)

Apparently pre-rinsing confuses the dishwasher or something. Not doing it leaves me with residue all over the other dishes though ๐Ÿคท

Star wars Anakin and Padme meme, with a dishwasher poorly GIMPed onto Anakin's face. Dishwasher Anakin: Save water, no need to rinse your dishes first. Padme: And they will come out clean, right? Anakin dishwasher: ... Padme: And they will come out clean, right?

Again with this America-centric view

    Oh you (rest of the world), with your 220vac everywhere and your "yeah electricity can heat that up" attitude.

    I think the 220vac is just Europe, isn't it?

    From Wikipedia: Mains electricity by country.

    Looks like really most the world is on 220.

    Just a note: Australia and NZ are 'officially' 230v but are in reality 240v.

    We were historically 240v and nothing actually changed at an infrastructure level, just the standard which says we're at 230v -6%/+10% (which allows for up to 252v, ie. 240v +5%, the old standard)

    Ah yes, Dishwashers and their operation. The quintessential americana. Surely no one else in the world has dishwashers but America.

    He's poking fun at our anemic half phase electrical system. In places with 220/240V electrical is the norm, electrical heating elements are more powerful so there's no need to get the water warm using the kitchen tap before running the dishwasher.
