Work at a dishwasher factory. We used to make a model with windows, they were really expensive parts, which meant that they were really expensive dishwashers for a feature that really isn’t useful.
It makes sense in a microwave or oven because you can check in and make sure it’s all good, or pull it out if it’s done. You can’t do that with a dishwasher, it just runs it’s course.
Plus all you could see in the thing was splashing soap water.
This has me thinking, could I have a cheaper microwave with no window? I mean i guess the window has saved me a few times because of stuff getting over-nuked but I never even considered the idea of not having one.
I saw this post and was all “yeah, where the hell is the dish window!” But then reading your comment, all these points are pretty obvious and make total sense ahah.
Also, it wouldn’t really look nice - a typical stainless steel dishwasher looks clean - a microwave and oven (hopefully) look clean and tidy through the window. But a windowed dishwasher? Half full of dirty dishes for most of the day, and even when the dishes are clean they won’t look neater than a plain stainless steel finish (or whatever finish you prefer)
Where else are the house elves supposed to live in modern homes? We don’t have servants’ quarters and the closet is packed floor-to-ceiling with vintage porn.
I don’t think you know your generations, the boomers were the creators of the internet and tech but didn’t know that had it so good and think everyone else does. Their parents were the ones that didn’t get tech so much. The gen x just goes along with everyone because they’ve never had any power and probably never will, they’re being skipped. Millennials are gen x extreme but have more numbers, and gen z is fucked. This isn’t a generational thing but a power and status thing. The people who have power and money have been fucking over the ones that don’t since this country began.
the boomers were the creators of the internet and tech
No, a very tiny number of them were. The vast majority can just about connect to their own wifi assuming the guide was printed and not a QR code.
Gen Z grew up with tech just basically works, and hides all the complicated stuff behind 17 submenus and automatic installs. I know plenty of gen Z who literally don’t know what a file path is.
Millenials and Gen X are the generations who needed to know tech if they wanted to use it. Unlike tech savvy boomers, there’s a lot of them, since computers were consumer products by then. And unlike gen Z, nothing was simple or automatic and there were no guides. You learned how to learn, or you didn’t get to use a PC for anything other than solitaire.
Now that’s the truth if I’ve ever seen it. I’m right at the old edge of Gen Z, and some people just three to five years younger than me have trouble finding that file they downloaded.
Now, I’m not judging for that. If you don’t grow up using a PC, how would you know the ins and outs?
But what really gets me if someone needs to use a PC for Uni or work, and still doesn’t make any effort to learn after a year or two of using one.
I guess I’m biased, I have a lot of boomer relatives and parents of friends that are still working in tech. In my world, it’s a lot of them.
No, a very tiny number of them were.
The following might be true, I also know a lot of younger people in every generation that don’t know tech. I mean most humans don’t want to know that stuff unless they have to. Maybe that’s confirming that Gen x and Millennials had to know.

And we can all at least understand when it doesn’t get closed after someone takes a slice. Maybe the last person thought someone else was going to get a slice? But a box remaining open with zero slices removed… that’s not human.
The next person has to be ready to reach for the slice. I don’t care if someone is intending to get a slice. The slice is being grabbed or the box is closed. It’s like holding the door open. If it shuts before you’re in reaching distance, your timing wasnt correct. It’s never rude to shut the box, it always courtesy. This is serious pizza business, and right now our world runs on pizza time. Guess what? It’s pizza time.
I genuinely don’t care what the slang is today. It’s their right to use whatever slang works for them.
What I do care about is when my Gen-Z friends/Peers use that slang at or around me. Then; all I ask is that they have the infinite patience needed to put up with me going “WAT?” every once in a while as my slightly slower millennial brain fails to decode that slang fast enough to stop myself from asking “what the hell do they mean exactly?” and enough patience to slow their lingo down and explain what they mean If the message was intended for me.
Your GenX peers wanted the same from you, as did their Boomer peers from them. One day, those same zoomer friends of yours will be confused and annoyed by their Gen Alpha friends’ slang, and the cycle will continue.
