I think they meant a community for interesting mold…
lol… I thought you had a camera inside a running dishwasher at first. That’s… NOT water
I’m as intrigued and horrified as everyone else. Also, this is a good time to remind everyone that you can edit post titles on Lemmy, so you can correct the typo. Unless, for all utensil purposes, you meant it to be there.
Obviously OP has no utengency.
i think you have bigger issues than just being a slob if that happened after only a week
Spiders are quick and opportunistic. They’ll make a web like that in a few hours at most.
Since it’s summer, fruit flies probably bred like crazy in the washer, and one lucky spider was there to feast.
The spider is a true bro, I might add.
Is it not mold?
I dont think so. Theres not enough food there for mold to grow like that.
I’ve never seen mold grow like that, but I’m not a moldologist so idk.
I’m also curious
Oooh so that’s a spider web!
your spoon seems to get old
Aww, it grew a beard…
The gritty reboot Spoon
If the beard is made with fungus, is it called a bread instead?
I want to add that you likely shouldn’t run the dishwasher before leaving town for a week in case there’s some failure. Don’t want to come home to a ton of water damage, that gets expensive to fix quick.
Wait. Do you people just throw dishes in the wash without rinsing them first?
The washing machine does it for you.
It would be like vacuuming your house by yourself before your Roomba turns on.
Unethical product idea:
A “dishwasher” that’s really cheap. Why, you ask? Well, because you need to rinse your dishes thoroughly before using the dishwasher.
In reality it’s just a box with a speaker so that it sounds like a dishwasher. If any customer complains, just tell them that they need to pre wash their dishes better.
Y’all trust your Roombas?
I got another Roomba just to keep the other one honest (and rescue missions).
Watching a friend’s house and literally just had to rescue a Roomba that somehow jammed itself under a cabinet, and it was in there good.
Modern dishwashers don’t need you to rinse first
My dishwasher is pretty new and if I don’t rinse things off relatively thoroughly beforehand I’m guaranteed to have stuck on food bits after the dry cycle.
You should watch this lovely video from TechnologyConnections: https://youtu.be/_rBO8neWw04
Big fan of his channel. Just watched him talk about a retro-aesthetic fridge for an hour a couple days ago.
He’s awesome. I hope his dishwasher videos can help you out!
I’m still trying to find the time to commit to what is most likely the most enjoyable hour long video about a refrigerator I will ever see. Looking forward to it!
Put soap in to be used on the pre wash cycle too. I use powder and put some in the dispenser and some on the door right before I close it.
I very rarely have any problems with stuck on food bits save for some really difficult stuff like herbs that were in oil that sat out for a day or two and dried. But then leaving it in for another cycle always finishes the job.
Mine doesn’t, although if I do I can run the quick cycle for less than half the energy of the full cycle and still have perfectly clean dishware at the end
The entire point of a dishwasher is that it sacrifices a little bit of electricity to save A LOT of water.
Pre-rinsing is antithetical.
Yeah. That’s what you’re supposed to do with modern dishwashers. Scrape off any leftovers, but rinsing is unnecessary and just wastes water.
I’m with you, my dishwasher is more of a sanitation device than a washer.
I think there are bigger issues if a spider can just go to town while you’re away for a week…
Not a spider.
Mold.
How is there that much mold after a week? That’s insane!
If you turned it on now, would it clean the mold? Or do you just throw away the dishes
I think it would clean it. Especially cause it’s a dish washer. But tbh I have no idea and there’s probably a dishwasher expert that can answer this lmao
I’d run it twice, on the hottest water setting, just because i’m paranoid.
Time for a science experiment I suppose (not me, i dont have a dishwasher)
Yes
Hey, sidenote: you guys know you can wash your dishwasher, right? There are specialized cleaners for it. If you keep getting residue or small pieces of food left on dishes, you can check if the blades are clogged but also cleaning your dishwasher might help.
Yeah it’s nasty but I’d just run some vinegar through it and call it a day.
W-what happened to this spoon?
It’s wearing a dress now 💃
Ooh! 😯
Lol
Ghost spoon
Spooky
Free cotton candy
So not only did the dish run away with the spoon, they got married too?
The forbidden cotton candy.
Is that mold or spider web? I really hope web…
