Habahnow ,

Been waiting for his next video.
Whoa just found out this guy does videos about stuff other than dishwashers. that's pretty cool, hope this dishwasher guy makes it big.

IntentionallyAnon ,

He will always be known to me as the toaster guy that taught me how to make a quick $100

KingJalopy ,

Popcorn button dude for me

Heat pumps...

And latent heat of vaoprization!

JimmyMcGill ,

Quick 100$?

Habahnow ,

How did he teach you to make a quick 100 bucks?

IntentionallyAnon ,

Sunbeam Radiant control toasters sell working used on ebay for $100-200

You can buy them not working for under $50

90% of the not working ones can be fixed by adjusting tension

buddascrayon ,

Check out the one he does on air conditioners it's pretty awesome.

Habahnow ,

The one about how the non-window/wall ones suck?

Speaking of Technology Connections; if anyone missed the recent Popular Science video on the RCA SelectaVision, Alec pops up to give a quick primer on the tech.

I love Lemmy's love for Technology Connections. It just feels so right!

WhatAmLemmy ,

It's like crack for ADHD as he goes in-depth, down many of the rabbit holes other informational shows gloss over, if they would even cover the subject to begin with.

NOTE: do not follow any of the tips without checking your own dishwashers manual and testing its cycles. I found that my 1.5hr cycle cleaned better than the 2.5hr, during the 1.5 it instantly releases the detergent so I can just dump it anywhere, and that the difference in cost between the cheapest powder and tablets (locally) was negligible (thanks Aldi!).

PRO TIP: get the tablets that have a water soluble wrapper and feel like you're living in the future.

Matumb0 ,

I actually had to buy a new dishwasher and in Germany every dishwasher has to be set to economical cleaning mode as default.
That being said there is also a fast mode, but you have to use special tabs that dissolve fast enough. Otherwise they will not dissolve fully during the washing stage and then the stuff would be stuck in the dishwasher after drying and it might seriously reduce lifetime of seals etc.
So be careful with short washing programs on modern dishwashers!

Socsa ,

The fast mode also uses more water and electricity than the three hour heavy wash mode.

RandomGen1 ,

I would advise against the water soluble wrapper pods since they're iirc a major contributor to microplastics in our water

Top notch content. Right up there with his popcorn button on the microwave video.

fogstormberry ,

oh that was a good one. I should go back and rewatch it

blanketswithsmallpox ,

Old shit?: Bimetallic strips and clever designs.

New shit: Read the manual!

KingJalopy ,

The only video I ever watched from that guy and I know exactly who he is immediately just from that video being mentioned. I should watch more of his stuff i suppose.

cyberpunk007 ,

Link?

I'm still salty that my microwave's pizza button is one of the fake ones.

buddascrayon ,

Buy an air fryer.

JimmyMcGill ,

And the reheat button on microwave

I’m still mad that I have a shitty microwave now

eco_game ,

Same! I'm lowkey tempted to get a fancy one now, but deep down I know it just isn't worth it.

lnsfwuser ,

I have used the most expensive microwaves money can buy from Kenmore and GE and honestly the sensor reheat is just always complete shit. Way over or underdone every time. Soup/beverages are the only thing it’s good for. And the popcorn is also perfect every time.

TropicalDingdong ,

Is this who I think this is?

OH SHIT YEAH MIDWESTERN TECHNOLOGY PRAGMATIST VIDEO HAS DROPPED!!!

edit: Its a remix?

DV8 ,

The previous videos were too long for anyone who doesn't want to obsess about this. And this one is more pragmatic about your detergent of choice and thus more palatable for people who aren't already fans of his.

It's also takes him less time to make videos like this according to the messages on his patreon.

Personally I'm a fan of him remaking some videos like this. I can get my family to watch this a lot easier.

PunnyName ,

Just miss the jazz outro with the flubs and snarky captions.

JimmyMcGill ,

This one is still quite long

I wished he made his videos closer to the 20min mark

I’ll probably still watch it, but at almost 30mins it might take me some days to start it.

what the fuck i don't even own a dishwasher, why did i watch all of this

FlihpFlorp ,

So you could tell me, the person who doesn’t even run the dishwasher, all about it

Jimbabwe ,

I can’t watch. Plz

TropicalDingdong ,

THE WATER INSIDE IS RECYCLED!!!

Jimbabwe ,

What a time to be alive

KingJalopy ,

Same with me. Not sure where it goes though... Maybe in your dishwasher!

Thorny_Insight ,

There with ya

PunnyName ,

And this is the short version!

KingJalopy ,

Link! Now! I have a job I'm not worried about let's go!

PunnyName ,

This is the first one: https://youtu.be/_rBO8neWw04

Links to this alt channel and the second in that series should be included in that video.

KingJalopy ,

Thanks!

traches ,

Dude, life is too short to wash spoons with your hands

cor315 ,

Sometimes I just put one spoon in the dishwasher and turn it on.

This is simultaneously dark and hilarious. Kudos.
