      Sterilization, thus decimating our immune systems. If we all did them by hand COVID-19 would be scared of us.

      That would explain why life expectancy in medieval times was about 150 years 🙂

      I was only joking

            Interesting story. If someone were to ask me when the dishwasher was invented, I would have guessed around 1935-1960, at least a long time after the refrigerator. And certainly not before the TV became established.

              Yeah, I would have guessed 1939 worlds fair. Lots of home appliances made a debut there.

              My dad was at that fair as a young boy.

              Only non-witches get due process.

                Some dishwashers work better than others.

                With one dishwasher I used to have at a house that I used to live in, you had to partially clean the dishes before turning on the dishwasher. This dishwasher didn't do such a good job.

                However, other dishwashers that I've used work much better.

                    I'm glad that I live in a time where dishwashers have been around for a long time.

                    I don't like to clean dishes and glasses by hand.

                      The nice thing about a dishwasher is that after the dishes are done you can polish your knob with it..
