    I’m as intrigued and horrified as everyone else. Also, this is a good time to remind everyone that you can edit post titles on Lemmy, so you can correct the typo. Unless, for all utensil purposes, you meant it to be there.

      Spiders are quick and opportunistic. They’ll make a web like that in a few hours at most.

      Since it’s summer, fruit flies probably bred like crazy in the washer, and one lucky spider was there to feast.

      The spider is a true bro, I might add.

        Unethical product idea:

        A “dishwasher” that’s really cheap. Why, you ask? Well, because you need to rinse your dishes thoroughly before using the dishwasher.

        In reality it’s just a box with a speaker so that it sounds like a dishwasher. If any customer complains, just tell them that they need to pre wash their dishes better.

        My dishwasher is pretty new and if I don’t rinse things off relatively thoroughly beforehand I’m guaranteed to have stuck on food bits after the dry cycle.

          Put soap in to be used on the pre wash cycle too. I use powder and put some in the dispenser and some on the door right before I close it.

          I very rarely have any problems with stuck on food bits save for some really difficult stuff like herbs that were in oil that sat out for a day or two and dried. But then leaving it in for another cycle always finishes the job.

        Mine doesn’t, although if I do I can run the quick cycle for less than half the energy of the full cycle and still have perfectly clean dishware at the end

      Yeah. That’s what you’re supposed to do with modern dishwashers. Scrape off any leftovers, but rinsing is unnecessary and just wastes water.

      The entire point of a dishwasher is that it sacrifices a little bit of electricity to save A LOT of water.

      Pre-rinsing is antithetical.

    I want to add that you likely shouldn’t run the dishwasher before leaving town for a week in case there’s some failure. Don’t want to come home to a ton of water damage, that gets expensive to fix quick.

    Hey, sidenote: you guys know you can wash your dishwasher, right? There are specialized cleaners for it. If you keep getting residue or small pieces of food left on dishes, you can check if the blades are clogged but also cleaning your dishwasher might help.
