hah! Oscar the Housepanther just pulled off one of those only-a-cat sequences: rolling around on a table in an “I’m too sexy for my fur” move, rolling off the edge of said table, landing upright & stalking away, trying to pretend he actually meant to do that.

If it didn't have a way to hold detergent back and release it later, it would all be gone after the first fill and drain (which is known as the pre-wash).

Now, because the people who made dishwashers are smart folks, they know that ideally there should be at least some detergent in that pre-wash. That's when the plates/cookware is at its very dirtiest, after all, and adding a little soap to break down those oils would help.

That's why this dispenser has a divot in the lid. It's for that.

As the Dishwasher Man, but not necessarily known here for being the Dishwasher Man, here's a short thread to explain my whole thing about detergent pods:

Dishwashers are simple machines. They fill with a small quantity of water, use a pump to force that water through spray arms, and those arms spray your dishes with the water. That's really all that's happening at a very basic level.

Key to making this actually clean your dishes is chemical detergents to break down food stuff.

Happy two year anniversary to realizing we caught covid from going to the clinic, expecting to feel better in a week or two and realizing around month six that I was more tired instead of less. It was omicron then, it's omicron now, wishful thinking won't improve your odds, we're not playing that puzzle game where choosing a different option later on increases your chance of a prize, we're looking at whether you will dance at your kid's wedding or attend it via an iPad.

Put. On. Your. Mask. We are in a wave, we are pretty much all in waves, southern hemisphere too, many of you are seeing unprecedented wastewater levels, people are already sick and miserable everywhere. Do it for a couple weeks, at least, humor me. :flan_heart:​

“fewer insects means fewer pollination visits, which means the effort and energy that a plant is putting in to produce nectar and make itself attractive is going to waste. As it shrinks its petal size and cuts down on making nectar, the diminishing numbers of insects have even less reason to stop by.

Other aspects of the field pansies, including the leaf size and the total size of the plant, hadn't changed significantly across the decades.”
