Things you were shockingly old when you learned

we had a dishwasher when I was a teen but it was installed directly next to the cutlery drawer so it never occurred to me to remove the cutlery whatsit at all

as a grownup I've never lived anywhere with a dishwasher, except for two housesitting locations. double sink >>> dishwasher all day anyway.

fuck dishwashers, there is no need for them and we already make way more electrical appliances than the world needs.

counterpoint: getting a dishwasher has been the #1 best thing about my move out of london.

Dishwashers use less water than washing and rinsing dishes by hand does, though.

what iMDB doesn't tell you is that the only Stephen King adaptation worth shit that Darabont directed was actually The Mist.

its a fuckin cracking flick def

xp
but how many kWh do they add to electrical grids eh eh?

you wash your dishes in cold water?

when I put my central heating on, it heats up the water as well - talk about the fucking white heat of technology!

ok i'm afraid i'm not sufficiently organised to always synchronise the washing up with the central heating operation even though the planet is burning, mea culpa!

what the fuck are even talking about? have a glass of water.

but you are a hero for sacrificing heat in your house while the motor and heating elements are whirring away in your dishwasher, give yerself a green medal!

I was always get Shawshank mixed up with that other pile of garbage movie where the 8 ft doorman grabs Tom Hanks' nuts!

lmao, I knew exactly which other film you meant (and I've seen neither)

The Shawshank Redemption isn't a Coen Brothers film; it is pure candyass sap

Four million IMDB users would like to have a word with you in the yard.

I have actually seen Shawshank but it was in the 90s and I wasn't giving it my full attention. For the Coens, I am generally positively disposed to their movies, but don't follow them closely, my only challops with them is Big Lebowski > Fargo

My challop is Buster Scruggs and A serious man are their two best movies.

0.5 of a challop

Calop

The Naked Man >>> A Serious Man

Top that.

Not a challop on here but the ultimate authority on movies iMDB is threatening to twat me!

Which Stephen King story was Hudsucker Proxy based on? Or was it published under a different name like "The Body"

it was apparently based on the same script as the flintstones movie of the same year

Just remembered one: it was only sometime within the past year that I learned what 'Mr. Mojo Risin' was all about.

in response, i accidentally typed "jim morrisey." now i am forced to imagine the terrible personality and lyrics of this hypothetically-fused personality.

Come on, babe, hairdresser on fire

xp: Didn't care for The Mist till I saw the black & chrome version on the blu ray set.

I learned just today that "Krazy Kat" creator George Herriman was of mixed-race Creole parentage and nearly always wore a hat to hide his hair and pass.

I just realized that 'impeachment' comes from the French 'empêchement'.

marlon brando wasn't italian american

Knew the first part, not the second (about the hat).

washing dishes in hot water seems very old school.

??!

...are you thinking of clothes?

wot?

marlon brando wasn't italian american

German! -ish! The family name was originally Brandau.

... as I discovered some time last year.

I use cold/or however the water comes out of the faucet water 90% of the time at home. But we also don't eat meat at home so there are never super greasey dishes? Other stuff gets soaked if it's baked on. Glassware with dry spots from air drying after a wash get steamed and wiped over a kettle if we are having guests. We have a dishwasher but I prefer handwashing dishes so they don't pile up.

I also go to bed and outside with wet hair.

I'm pescatarian and seldom cook fish at home but i find that oily things - oily from oils, butter etc. - need to be washed in hot water, as does anything that is sticking to a pan

Brando also said he came from "a long line of Irish drunks" (mother's side i presume)

if something needs to be soaked i will run hot water into it but i think our hot water heater is programmed for only on 1-2 hours during the day? and I usually wash things immediately after use. I don't think I have ever done a whole meal of dishes in hot water in my life.

as well as heat breaking down oils and fats and whatnot, dish soap works better in warm or hot water than in cold

xp So the revelation for you was that other people use hot water?

nm I missed the whole dishwasher convo upthread

yeah. I never knew the majority of people use hot water to wash dishes. I have never had a problem with getting dishes clean at home.

It was news to me when my partner told me that hot water was unnecessary and wasteful for washing dishes. I only use it when my hands are too cold otherwise.

yeah, my old school comment is thinking about people with dishgloves over a sink of steaming water. I guess this still happens.

the dish gloves are to protect your soft, feminine hands from the harsh drying effects of dish detergent iirc

"HOT AS YOU CAN STAND IT!" my mom used to say when I washed the dishes

i always assumed the hot water was to kill germs, but according to google you'd have to make the water so hot it'd scald your hands.
