    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.

        Dishwasher is regularly recirculating dirty, greasy water before rinsing. In order to save water, it just cycles the water with all the dirt through the dishes again, many times over. And only then rinses with a pure one.

          I know how dishwasher works. I mean I don’t see why I wouldn’t want to look at that. It is interesting regardless.

            Most people prefer ignorance to seeing their flatware get sprayed with filthy water. They’d say “eww that’s disgusting” and hand wash everything from now on.

            It’s because of this recirculation that dishwashers consume significantly less water than hand washing.

              But people use same water when handwashing too. One sinkful of soapy water first where you wash them, then a sinkful of clean water for rinsing and put them in the drying rack to dry. I believe the significantly is a debatable.

    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.

    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.

    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.

        To check the progress before electric displays and fancy indicator lights. Windows came before those upgrades when machines were still dial controlled.

            That’s what I still use and it does not. I have zero reason to know what’s going on inside however because it literally operates on the equivalent of a kitchen egg timer. It’s done when the dial says it’s done. All controls are entirely mechanical. Washing machine is older than I am. I bet the damn thing is 50 years old.

            Edit: Same as this one which seems to be a model from the 70s.

              Because people liked the feature. Look, I’m just saying WHY they added windows. That was the reason. I’m not saying it’s a good reason or no one could figure things out before. They added them for that reason, people liked it, and it stuck around. Yet, there’s always gonna be someone dragging out their 30 year old washer going “but mine is fine!”. Never said it wasn’t. Or someone pointing out that not all washers have a window even today. Cool. Nifty. But if yours does have one, that was the reason they got added.

              Congrats on having an ancient machine with no variable timing that finishes early and being able to look in tells you what step it’s on easily at a glance instead of staring at your worn away knob. Good for you. Was it relevant at all to the discussion about why they added windows to machines that do?

    God I fucking hate how they chose to punctuate/capitalize. What the actual fuck? Just use italics if you want to emphasize something, good lord.

        I guess it’s a part of the Twitter Blue sub, but there are workarounds.

        My point still stands ‘This is a stupid fucking Way to emphasize things’.
