Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

The detergent in the dishwasher is extremely corrosive. Most kinds of metal can't stand it, and you see the general result (rust) after just one try. So, if your knives are OK with it once, they are OK with it all times.
But: they are going to loose sharpness much quicker. You will have to sharpen them more often. I guess you are OK with that, too.
Nonsense. I've put all my various knives in the dishwasher for years and there is zero visible rust on them. Every few months i use a sharpener on them and they're super sharp again.
How does a dishwasher dull a knife?
I run my steak knives through it all the time, they get sharpened 1/4 as often (or less, like 2x a year) as my hand washed chef's knife, which could be sharpened every week (it's a very good Henckels set).
Placebo problems created by hyperfocusing on one thing (knife sharpness) leading to bullshit flying around
