If it's not dishwasher safe, it has no place in my cupboard, even if it is the coolest mug in the world : memes

If I saw a ceramic mug that wasn't dishwasher safe, I'd be confused and slightly afraid.

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 27 points 1 month ago (2 children)

There are plenty of them on Regretsy and eBay that some one just put like vinyl stickers cut into a trademarked character they don’t own the rights for and then resold them for $38 each

It ain’t the ceramic that’ll be the problem

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

Yup, I've made that mistake a few times. The mug itself is fine, but the graphic evaporates after a single cycle. But I sure as shit didn't pay $38 for it. I have a $10 limit on coffee mugs, maybe $15 if it's super rad.

Yup, i was given a mug by my gfs family when we visited them in their country. it was a bit touristy, had the name of the country and some decals and stuff.

It's a pure white mug now

Look at this fancy guy who has a dishwasher

Just hand wash it, like humanity has been fucking doing since we invented pottery.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 46 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Nah, I'd rather just toss it in the dishwasher anyways and let fate decide what happens to it lol

We've been washing clothes by hand since we invented textiles, do you do your laundry by hand?

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Exactly.
I love you, but thems the reality.

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 6 points 1 month ago

This jacket says dry clean only, which means it's dirty.

I love that and I sometimes do this as well for cheap disposable shit

No shit? Thats crazy! /s

do you do your laundry by hand?

Yes, only for things that has tags that say "hand wash only". Do you not know how to read instructions?

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Dishwashers use less than a tenth of the water compared to hand washing. This is because they recycle water, and only drain it after debris is removed from the plates, then drained and replaced. Repeat. All in all, it only uses a few gallons.

It's easier, more efficient, and more sanitary. The same is true for washing machines for the same reason. If you want to criticise dryers, fine, but washers are all better than hand washing.

Hey silly, I'm only talking about hand washing this one singular hypothetical cup in this fucking meme not my entire damn dish rack.

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But then this cup requires (approximately) ten times the amount of water to clean than the average cup.

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one -2 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Ah, point made. The solution is to shatter the cup against my diabetic monitor, toss it into another sprawling enormous landfill and drop ship another cheap replacement.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

See that's the thing, usually the mugs that require hand washing are the cheap drop shipped crap

Mugs that are dishwasher safe are so because the manufacturer spent the extra 0.0003 cents per mug for the extra sealant layer to protect the artwork against it and tested it to ensure it can stand up to the dishwasher and started with quality materials to begin with

Those cheap crap mugs skimp out on that layer or 2, testing and use the cheapest base materials they can find

[–] HEXN3T@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The solution is to use it as a decoration piece

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 2 points 1 month ago

Nude Shrek mug as the main decoration piece

[–] Nollij@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Do you have any idea how many cups/mugs/plates/pans say this? Most of my dishes are not "dishwasher safe". Only a couple have had any issues with it.

Similarly, look at how many of your clothes are incredibly delicate according to the tag. It's erring on the side of extreme caution, and to provide a defense if it's a piece of shit that falls apart.

Not sure what clothes you're wearing/buying, but every single piece I own says it will do fine with 40°C and tumble drying, except for my suits (I have two, not a closet full), which is not exactly delicate handling.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lol, imagine following instructors on everything, even when you know better.

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I'm legit very dumb and often those warnings not to eat silica gel is for me. Sorry everyone!

No

[–] metaStatic@kbin.earth 2 points 1 month ago

you make a compelling point

[–] 4am@lemm.ee 24 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yeah and while you’re at it: only shit in a hole and bury it

[–] BaroqueInMind@lemmy.one 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But what do I use to wipe my shit stained butthole and loincloth?

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

A sponge and a stick

[–] Emi@ani.social 2 points 1 month ago

Don't forget the brine and other 30 people using it daily.
