American dishwashers run very hot and use harsh detergents. Some dishes and cookware will state on their packing or even on themselves that they are not dishwasher safe.
Despite this, the sheer convenience of the dishwasher will make people ignore the warnings, and the objects retain their basic functionality just often enough that the meme can be an open-ended YOLO-like joke, phrased like parental encouragement, instead of merely mocking people who try it.

HTC had quite a run there. I still miss my HTC One X, back when it was actually interesting to get a new phone. These days I routinely forget which iPhone it is that I have.
I haven’t, but it looks interesting and even more bonkers than the movie.
Because it’s mildly transgressive to a certain demographic, and tools and internet speeds of the day allowed for visuals that were close enough to the inspirations for people to find them interesting. Subverting “innocent” characters has been a trope since at least Tijuana bibles of the 1920s and I assume much longer. Specifically portraying beloved animated characters as adult and jaded would also have been directly evocative of Who Framed Roger Rabbit (1988).
Eventually, most of that demographic comes to realize that the transgressiveness itself is only so interesting and there is usually something of value in the interesting property that distance lets them appreciate, so a spoof needs to have other things going for it to hold an audience’s interest (e.g. Who Framed Roger Rabbit, which is still brilliant). That said, there is a certain durability to the low-hanging fruit when the subjects of the satire remain popular to continually cycling cohorts of kids who have the unmitigated gall to begin growing up. :-)
Slurm is still better.
99.99% sure it is. That looks like the old classic: Lasso Select, Adjust Hue.
Other than them, though…
Christopher Lloyd, Kirstie Alley, Adam Driver, Robin Williams, John Goodman…
Fuck. It’s almost like it was a recognized – if admittedly challenging – career path.
One. It already looks like the sugar spoon my kid always picks first for her meals anyway.
Peak Thomas horror has already been achieved…
Unfortunately, Xena has got to go. There’s no phonetic difference with Z. Xavier might be your best bet, but that’s a tough one.
Edit… Quebec and Kilo in the NATO one give me pause, though. Maybe Xena can stay after all.
This is already settled science.
That fat PP looks a little on the short side.
Most likely, yes. I think most people do end up finding one or two smaller boards’ worth of “unicorn barf,” which is to say everything is the right shape and 95-99% have the right thing written on them, but the colors are totally random and visually jarring. I also have a few ideas that might benefit from some of the weirder caps, (like a big square that uses four keybaord switches… people seem to end up with some of those) and occasionally you’ll land on something that someone in the hobby actually does need and you can help them out. A lot of it is simply indulging a certain need to examine and categorize.
Despite the site screaming left and right that one should not count on a proper keyboard’s worth of keycaps at all, much LESS a matching set, and despite years of forum and reddit posts declaring their underwhelming nature, I still bought a 5-pound (2.27kg) sack of random keycaps from Signature Plastics in Washington state.
I just have to know, and I’m kind of unironically looking forward to sorting them like so many Lego bricks. I may even get a few that are useful for my projects.
Yup. I also liked this, but I’m trying hard not to just quote the whole thing back, because it’s all good.
Their wealth insulates them from friction so effectively there’s no incentive or pressure for them to develop an imagination, or diversify their knowledge to the point where an imagination might emerge on its own. I can’t think of a better argument for a humanities requirement than a billionaire being asked “how do we know what is real?” and responding with “cryptographic signatures.”
I haven’t looked it up, but having spent a lot of time in Northeast Georgia, I’m guessing the odds are pretty high that the stress on that town name is on the first syllable.
Yeah, but look at the switch! If God made you that way, you’d all be pissing in your faces!
lol, I didn’t want to presume, especially based on my experience with weak-ass European clothes dryers.
