My ex was so dead against us getting a dishwasher because he didn’t want to have to plumb it into a house we didn’t own and our landlord wasn’t interested in helping us out.
A month after he moved out, I bought one and it absolutely did change my life.
I also managed to flood my kitchen in the process 🙈
A couple weeks ago our city rolled out their new trash can program (with the trucks that have the side grabber arm thing). I got so excited when the new cans showed up (wheels!) and it was at that point I realized I’m getting old.
Bruh I haven’t eaten in days because I can’t afford meds and food at the same time.
I completely get it. I see Price is Right clips now, or Lets Make a Deal, and losing my mind when they get a dining set. That shits would net me groceries for months.
I don’t have a microwave so I Air fry most leftovers. If I want popcorn I just make it on the stove. If I don’t feel like doing that I guess I didn’t really want it.
I haven’t used my dishwasher or dryer since I moved in to my trailer. Hand washing dishes and hanging clothes to dry doesn’t take long enough for me to give a shit lol
It’s not, when I cook I tend to wash as I go and I also am mindful about using things as to not create excess work for myself. When my wife cooks, the kitchen looks like a restaurant after a dinner rush and that’s when a dishwasher comes in clutch.
I think that’s only true if you’re actually filling the dish washer with dirty dishes. It would take me long enough to fill my dish washer that it would start to stink.
When I was living alone I had something that was called “table dishwasher”. It was a little thing with only one drawer and I filled it roughly every 1-2 days.
An average (read large) dishwasher consumes ~12l of water per cycle. That’s equivalent to letting the tap run for ~30 seconds.
A good dishwasher uses ~0.6kwh/cycle. That’s equivalent to ~10l of hot water. Again, ~30 seconds of tap water.
Tbh I don’t think I run the faucet for 30 seconds to wash dishes for the day. It’s basically just cutting board, knife, a plate, and a bottle. 10 seconds max
I’ll remember that on the rare occasions I cook up food for lots of people, though. That’s definitely more than 30 seconds!
Yeah I live by myself and during the week only cook dinner plus snacks, so it takes me 3+ days to fill it up enough to justify running it and even then it starts it get…iffy.

Calling her a dishwasher is based on attitudes where women are the homeworkers. I see the joke as taking the piss out of people with that attitude, not the woman herself. We all know that she is a human being with thoughts and feelings like the rest of us and no one ever thought otherwise.
Satire requires a clarity of purpose and target lest it be mistaken for and contribute to that which it intends to criticize
Archie Bunker is a great example of satire that just reinforced prejudice among the people watching All In The Family who were already bigoted. They don’t see themselves or Archie as the joke. So ultimately you’re just giving air time to bigotry if your satire isn’t both scathing and clear.
I don’t know who you’re quoting, but it’s not me. I didn’t make the joke and if someone were to be actually misogynist in my life I would speak up about it. This doesn’t bother me.
I know it’s not from you, it’s a quote about satire in general. I posted it because it was relevant to the conversation.
I don’t think just repeating misogynistic jokes without commentary and then blaming people for not knowing it was actually ironic misogyny and not “real” misogyny is effective at critiquing misogyny or beyond criticism.
Wether or not they get the joke doesn’t change anything. Satire isn’t going to stop a bigot from being a bigot. It’s like those dumbass who are suddenly afraid of the okay sign. Like, they have you by the balls dude. They’re bending you over and fucking you hard, and you’re letting them. It’s pointless. At some point you just need to say fuck it and live, because bigots are going to bigot no matter what who does. If a piece mocking them makes them comfortable enough to expose themselves, that’s a good thing.
I’m not sure, but feel free to link to my previous comment whever you next see an oppertunity for a lemmy switcheroo. It’s not really my cup of tea, but it’s good to start something.
So it’s funny because some people with that attitude exist, and therefore you make a joke those people would make? How is that different from saying a racist joke and claiming you’re making fun of racists? (non-hostile question)
It subverts the expectation by calling the woman a dishwasher. This is the humour. I don’t find it offensive because I assume they’re joking, and it’s a reasonable assumption because there is a real dishwasher at play while he referred to the woman as a dishwasher, making it quite clear he was simply joking and not serious positing that women belong in the kitchen.
I remember something similar on Reddit where there was a subreddit that made ironic humour about Trump, however it quite quickly turned into a serious subreddit over time because some people took it seriously.
I’ve seen similar happen with LGBT jokes or misogynistic jokes and they will escalate over time while you also get told you’re too uptight and to relax. This also was beginning to happen in 196 on lemmy with trans people.
Throw in some subtle nuance in the delivery, and I’ve done similar to basically call someone a jackass to their face.
For a rough example - attending a kids birthday party in the presence of racist ex-inlaws. Somebody says something predictably racist, I say something obnoxious which on the surface sounds like I might agree with them for half a second, then the realization hits that I was making fun of them and I roll my eyes and walk away.
We managed to find a free-standing one with wheels and a nice top that just connects to the sink faucet. It’s been pretty nice so far, might be worth looking around. We found ours 2nd hand for about $150, it was definitely worth it.
Yep was about to suggest this. There are similar setups for all in one washer dryer machines that are similar. I’ve seen tenants in bachelor suites or coin laundry buildings have both of these in a place. Pretty clever for a single person, because they pay very low rent in those types of places.

I do get excited now when going shopping for a moped or a set of bedsheets.
A couple weeks ago our city rolled out their new trash can program (with the trucks that have the side grabber arm thing). I got so excited when the new cans showed up (wheels!) and it was at that point I realized I’m getting old.
Or the age where you’re finally excited to get clothes for Christmas.
Bruh I haven’t eaten in days because I can’t afford meds and food at the same time.
I completely get it. I see Price is Right clips now, or Lets Make a Deal, and losing my mind when they get a dining set. That shits would net me groceries for months.
Not too proud to admit I got way too excited when I got my first Dyson. If anyone has animals with long hair, you’ll understand.
My most treasured purchase is an $80 handheld vacuum that pulls all the cat hair from my rug.
One of my happiest purchases in the last few years was an airfyer. lol
I’m still excited about my subwoofer.
Is your dog your main woofer?
I wish.
@spacedancer @UhBell Airfyers are by far one of the best recent inventions ever made.
Right now I can’t imagine my live without one of them.
We almost brought ours on our vacation lol
God yes! I use it for almost everything
For real, thought everyone was overhyping them before I got one but it’s honestly crazy how much of a difference it makes and how convenient it is
It’s old tech, but pressure cookers are really cool as well.
I don’t have a microwave so I Air fry most leftovers. If I want popcorn I just make it on the stove. If I don’t feel like doing that I guess I didn’t really want it.
Lol my dishwasher has been broken for awhile.
I should really get on fixing it.
Recently got myself a clothes dryer. It has changed my life.
God how I want a dishwasher…
I haven’t used my dishwasher or dryer since I moved in to my trailer. Hand washing dishes and hanging clothes to dry doesn’t take long enough for me to give a shit lol
You must not have a wife that uses every single dish and utensil in arms reach when she cooks lol
I cook and washing utensils isn’t hard?
It’s not, when I cook I tend to wash as I go and I also am mindful about using things as to not create excess work for myself. When my wife cooks, the kitchen looks like a restaurant after a dinner rush and that’s when a dishwasher comes in clutch.
How do you wash the clothes?
Oh those I machine wash. Fuck using a washboard lol
There are other, more convenient solutions besides a washboard: https://www.amazon.com/manual-washing-machine/s?k=manual+washing+machine
But running a dishwasher (if you already have one and use powder and not tabs) is much cheaper in water heating costs than washing by hand.
I think that’s only true if you’re actually filling the dish washer with dirty dishes. It would take me long enough to fill my dish washer that it would start to stink.

An average (read large) dishwasher consumes ~12l of water per cycle. That’s equivalent to letting the tap run for ~30 seconds.
A good dishwasher uses ~0.6kwh/cycle. That’s equivalent to ~10l of hot water. Again, ~30 seconds of tap water.

Never not had a dishwasher so I do not understand.
Lucky. Much time has been spent in my life washing dishes that I will never get back
I see that the man is very excited, but the dishwasher doesn’t seem too happy about the arrangement.
The man is excited because he will no longer have to hand wash dishes.
The woman is disappointed as she doesn’t wash dishes and therefore puts a lower value on the time the man will save form no longer hand washing.
Can you explain why that’s funny?

This is also funny.
No you weren’t
If you’re trying to look like you hate ignorance, don’t feign it.
This type of humor has already aged. It’ll die soon. No need to think about it.
Not the person that made the joke, but…

Thanks for your contributions, you put it way more eloquently than I. 🙂
Does it matter that the joke goes over those people’s heads? The fact that they don’t know they’re being mocked makes it funnier.
Yes because then they feel confident with their views, after all it’s being plastered in front of them so it must be okay right?
Wether or not they get the joke doesn’t change anything. Satire isn’t going to stop a bigot from being a bigot. It’s like those dumbass who are suddenly afraid of the okay sign. Like, they have you by the balls dude. They’re bending you over and fucking you hard, and you’re letting them. It’s pointless.

Fuck bigots and live and… Checks notes make their jokes for them?
Yes, the old misogyny-switcheroo
Tell me there’s a switcheroo community/magazine
I’m not sure, but feel free to link to my previous comment whever you next see an oppertunity for a lemmy switcheroo. It’s not really my cup of tea, but it’s good to start something.
Contratulations, you’re the inaugural aroo

So? Block and report them. Don’t let them control you like that bud.
This happens in online communities all the time, unless I want to block the internet I’m going to have to deal with it. 🙂 So I do the next best thing.
I understand I’m not the popular opinion here, but hopefully this helps somewhat.
So? Block them.

I can see how this could be fun to do, I don’t think I’d have the nuance to pull it off though
I mean, you don’t have to get somebody’s humor, but it’s funny because of how shocking and absurd it is. The same goes for some racist jokes imo.
Exactly. That and taking the piss out of people too sensitive to see that.

Well, her name is one letter off of Cries after all.

Two people obviously don’t have a sense of humor.
Fuck, I’d be excited to win almost anything.

Yay America. In Australia all competition winnings (even the lottery) is tax free.
My apartment doesn’t even have a connection for a dishwasher but I’d take it
We managed to find a free-standing one with wheels and a nice top that just connects to the sink faucet. It’s been pretty nice so far, might be worth looking around. We found ours 2nd hand for about $150, it was definitely worth it.

I’d still rather have the new car.
I’m really bad about maintaining my dishwasher.
She doesn’t get nearly as many back and foot massages as she deserves.
