The rinse water is clean and stays clean. You're rinsing off the soap suds. You can wash a shit ton of dishes and the end result is the wash water is dirty and the rinse water is clear. Frankly you're being absurd, you're not shoveling dirty water into the rinse water JFC. The rinse cycle on a dishwasher is wayyy worse.
How can it stay clean if you just put all your dirty plates there? And oils, all the oils are floating on top! And all the pieces and bits, just there!

I'm not sure what you mean. I fully wash the dish in the wash water, then put it in the straight hot rinse water for a minute or so before putting it in the drainer to air dry. The hot water helps them air dry faster and rinses the soap off.
If the rinse water is any less than completely clear, I'm not washing the properly, and I drain and refresh the rinse sink. In my opinion it saves water over rinsing each dish under running water.it saves water
Oh, with big enough amounts, sure.

I put it in the space for the dishwasher. If you do not have such a space in your kitchen, there are standalone units, even countertop variants. You could remove a cabinet if you can afford to lose the space.
The counter top ones take up a lot of space, and you cannot use your kitchen sink while it is running because it connects to your kitchen faucet. Which also means you need to have the correct kind of faucet for the attachment to fit. Also, dishwashers use a lot of power. There are hidden costs at play here, and with the price of power only going up, why wouldn't I do dishes the cheap way? Not to mention haveing to buy dishwasher tablets and all the waste products created by the single use packaging.

Are you serious? Dish soap breaks down oil. You wash in the dish soap. Which breaks down the oil. Bits and pieces come off in the wash water. When you pick up the dish, the wash water comes off. Carrying the bits and pieces with it. Back into the wash water. Some soap suds remain, which you rinse off in the rinse water. Have you never washed dishes?

We just got one of these a couple weeks ago, my mom and I got to crack up over this, thank you. Who knows how many more laughs I'll be able to share with her before death comes knocking.
You know how to take your dish rack to the next level? Slap some large googly eyes on that bad boy. Surpise your mom. Make those memories.

Where are you living that the unit doesn't come with a dishwasher? I've been all over Houston, on the rich side and the poor side, and I've never seen a unit that doesn't at least have one of those bargain basement whirlpools.
In the greater Seattle area it's about 50/50 whether a rental will have a dishwasher.

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. -
Looks terrible. I can't use the sink without worrying about splashing the clean dishes. Disgusting. And they're practically just hanging in my way.
How would you possibly splash dishes so high above the sink?

That's crazy, especially considering rental rates.

Someone created a post a few days ago asking what the differences are between Reddit and lemmy. Is an obsession with Technology Connections it, or did I just miss that boat on reddit?

Yeah, it didn't save much water when I was single. Half the time I didn't even fill the wash sink.

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.

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.
