it saves water
Oh, with big enough amounts, sure.
Yeah, it didn't save much water when I was single. Half the time I didn't even fill the wash sink.

It's actually not exactly true. Soap doesn't break down oil. It attaches to the oil molecules, and attaches to a water molecule by the other end. Which, when the water is running away and takes all this mess into the drain, is incredibly effective. With the stagnant pool of water, less so.
I did wash the dishes in buckets when I was young, lived in poverty, and had to do it all by hands. I still remember that feeling of always dirty dishes, that's why I am always terrified when people do it on purpose.wrote last edited by [email protected].... And the effect is the same. It's in the wash water. JFC. And when you pick up the dish out of the wash water, 99.9999999999999999% of the water returns to the wash water. JFC you'd need scientific measuring equipment to measure the transfer. So it's not in the rinse water.
If you ever use a dishwasher and unless you clean the trap out every single time, you're getting wayyy worse. If you're worried about transfer of molecules by hand washing, then lmao if you use a dishwasher.
Nice story bro. Especially the poverty part, plenty of people wash dishes by hand without living in poverty. I think you've never actually washed dishes by hand (with 2 sinks). That's the only way you'd think this. I'm out of this inane conversation.

How would you possibly splash dishes so high above the sink?
Splashed water can fly surprisingly far. Remember those studies about toilets and toothbrushes?

A clean kitchen is a triumph of the modern era. Show this to a caveman or a renaissance era scholar and claim two middle-age adults with at least one child and a dog accomplished it in less than an hour. They will praise it as a miracle.
Im sure the caveman would be impressed, probably more by the knives than any organizational aspect, but i feel like scholars in the renaissance had plenty of experience this keeping things organized. This picture of an alchemy workshop is like organizational goals for me. Its full but not cluttered and it looks cozy as fuck.

I have never needed a drying rack in my life. On the very rare occasion I can't just dry something and put it away, I leave it sitting on a towel to dry. When I am done I wash the towel and the counter again becomes empty. I am not kidding when I say I am an empty counter extremist.
We just use the right side of the sink for drying. It has a little plastic grate insert to elevate the dishes and dirty dishes go into the left side, clean into the right, and then theyre dry by the next time you need to do dishes so they get put away. Only time its somewhat of an inconvenience is when i want to fill the brita pitcher and theres no bottom of the sink to rest it on so i have to hold it or place it on the counter and hold the sink hose over it.

I guess we're operating on different definitions of "cluttered". Although, I'll happily cede it looks cozy, I would be afraid to swing my elbows without knocking over something extremely rare and expensive.

How is it unsanitary?
Because in order to sanitize, the water temperature needs to be above 60°C/140°F. It is impossible to get the water that hot when hand washing. You would burn yourself immediately.

Um but wtf is all the water draining to? The work surfaces?
Also imagine knocking this over. Fml.

It doesn't have to waste more water. There are ways to do the dishes where you only use water to rinse off the already washed plates. That is in fact less water than with a dishwasher. Maybe you are thinking of washing the dished with the water constantly on.
wrote last edited by [email protected]This old wives' tale objectively untrue and has already been debunked. It is impossible use less water than a dishwasher, no matter how you wash the dishes. Like I said, Technology Connections already tested this.
There is nothing more frustrating than being told I'm wrong when I know for a fact that I'm right, and even have proof. Hive mind mentality drives me crazy sometimes.

Most of the stuff that needs draining should flow mostly into the sink, but I do agree it looks like one could get where you don't want.
As for knocking it over, the "feet" look relatively sturdy, so ideally that would be difficult to do.

Just fork over the $600
I prefer paying my rent over kitchen appliances
If you're paying rent, it is expected that a dishwasher is included in the cost of your rent. If it's not, you need to find a place that provides basic appliances. It is the landlord's responsibility to provide a dishwasher, not yours.

Doubtful, but willing to be proven wrong.

But the water is dirty. All this dirt you cleaned is there, in your water, floating, clinging to whatever comes close.
No, you don't use dirty water, you use clean water.
Furthermore, the dirt does not cling to your dishes – it dissolves in the water, aided by soap. If it would cling to the dishes, you wouldn't be able to rinse it off, either.
