April, you’re supposed to be a maid
First cycle of the dishwasher is just a hot water rinse to get a head start on removing debris that gets drained away. Then it refills and deploys detergent and spends most of the rest of the time in this cycle before rinsing and drying. So, I mean, I don’t recommend it, but it will be drained a few minutes into the cycle and the dishwasher will actually clean with detergents after with no pee left. So, it really won’t hurt anything besides your relationship with your family/roommates.
Might as well take a duke in there, too
Are you not adding detergent to the prewash!?
You can if it needs it for baked on food. It’s not necessary for most washes though
Yeah you’re right my piss doesn’t require any extra cleaning. Brownies though? Put every house hold cleaner into the pre-wash
You say that sarcastically but it is true piss really would not require any specialized cleaner to remove. But when it comes to baked on cheese eggs things like that the protein in them makes them very difficult to remove with just water and it needs emulsifiers and surfactants to help break it down and remove it
Your dishes aren’t really CLEAN until they have flashbacks to passchendaele.
Glares in Alec Watson
Quick bury them in the multi hour technology connections dishwasher Playlist!!!
I’m reminded to check out what else he’s put out recently. I really enjoyed his EV take last year.
Edit: damn, nothing since the hybrid video. :(
Well there’s some stuff on his Connextras
This is the logic behind Japanese toilets having a tiny hand sink over the commode so you wash your hands with the water that’s being used to refill the basin.
Why not use it that way? You’re just going to pee in it later.
That tiny stink is very inconvenient for use.
Just stick your hands in the bowl then
When space is at a premium, it’s a great idea
I’d never heard of these, and I’m looking at them now. It’s a cool idea, but without ever using one, I think I agree with you. The basin is necessarily tiny, forcing you to make a mess, and 30 seconds of cold water isn’t going to get all the soap off. Have any of you ever used one and found it satisfactory?
I mean it is clean, drinkable water that is used to wash the toilet.
Just piss over your hands like the rest of us, that’s plenty clean.
I had a housemate who insisted the best way to treat his athlete’s foot was to piss on his feet in the shower.
Maybe not the best way, but it is the cheapest way. I did that in college too when I had a mild case of it and was too broke to afford Tinactin
Wtf???
Camel pee has passable antibacterial properties, some tribes shower in it for hygiene.
Plus you get that lovely fragrant camel piss smell.
Budweiser?
I prefer to piss over others. I’m selfless like that
But then if I don’t wash my hands, the tank doesn’t get filled. I will not tolerate this level of coercion.
If my shower recirculated water id surely piss into it as well. Instead it’s all just wasted down the drain…
A share a world with these people who have these specific thoughts. I’m not angry about it or anything, just a realization.
Same world and this is a movie.
Luckily, thoughts and actions are two different things.
They are also able to vote. That does upset me to a small degree. If they are willing to piss in their own dishwasher what are they willing to vote into law?
Urine powered dishwashers of course
RFK approved
I think it’s natural for people to have unconventional ideas. That’s how humans evovle.
Especially if they have the stupid ideas before they have children.
This guy I knew who worked at a dishwasher factory said that when clients or investors or whatever would come in, they would put a birthday cake in one of their demo units and take them on a tour of the plant and when they came back they would open the machine and the birthday cake would be completely gone, spotless.
If they’re into it, then why not?
What about after you run it
Some say pee is sterile, so it might sterilize them for you.
Just in case you’re curious, it very much is not.
thats just “before next time”
Hmm, dishwashers are designed to use as little water as possible. The drain doesn’t actually drain right away but might be circulated back into the system. No idea what it does with any fluids before it’s turned on but I wouldn’t risk it.
In mine, any fluids added before starting just sit in the tub at the bottom. The first thing it does after starting is run the pump though, so piss away I guess…
Yeah, but not all of it. It leaves an inch or two down in the motor/ filter area.
“The dose makes the poison”, it’s not uncommon for water to be a little contaminated, but dishwashers are also supposed to get hot enough to sterilize the water being used to wash the dishes. So you might get a bit of piss in your dishwater, it’ll be sterile, and most of it will get carried away with the water being used to wash off the other junk before sterilizing and rinsing.
I’m wondering if urea is helpful for the prewash cycle or not.
I’ll be over later today. Thanks.
Live a little!
I like how you answered this seriously as if people are actually going to try pissing in their dishwasher lmao Thanks for the info though, I’ll remember this next time I gotta take a piss 👍
I think it’s doing a lot more cleaning than it needs to, considering industrial ones in restaurants take less than a minute
I think a lot of the time involved is to keep the process quiet, an industrial dishwasher is fast but loud as fuck. I wouldn’t mind being given that choice with a home dishwasher though.
Also way hotter than a residential one. I actually cooked salmon in one when I worked on a cruise ship. Surprisingly effective.
Price is also a major factor. Restaurants won’t balk at paying thousands for an industrial grade dishwasher if it can replace or greatly reduce the demand for a human dishwasher. Even at low restaurant wages, it doesn’t take long for a $6000 dishwasher to pay for itself. On the other hand, if the only dishwashers available cost that much, if there were no dishwashers at a consumer price point? Most people would just go without one in their home.
Ime dishes get precleaned more before they go into the industrial dishwasher.
You scrape in the trash, scrub in the sink, and rinse/sanitize in the dishwasher. At least that’s how my kitchen was, like a quarter-century ago.
I used to have to do more precleaning than that with a home dishwasher before I watched Technology Connections
Explain please?
I worked as a dishwasher maybe 15 years ago? Nothing needed to be scrubbed. Scrape and put into tray. Once tray was filled slide into dishwasher and pull down handle. Wait about 60 seconds and pull up handle. Slide rack out. Receive 4th degree burns without using a towel to grab dishes.
Are you even working in a kitchen if you’re not being burned, scalded, steamed or fried?
Quick, someone call Alec to do an hour-long YouTube video investigating this!

“No, April. That is wrong! Please leave my house party!”
That’s how some cooks are with deep fryers. Drop it on the floor? It’s cool tmit all dies in the deep fryer.
I can just see April spraying over her dishes in a half squat with her pants around her knees.
Go gurl
Piss in the dishwasher? I’d rather not. I got fired the last time I put my penis in a dishwasher. To be fair she was only 19… There’s no telling what’ll happen if I had pissed as well
That’s how you keep her from getting pregante.
