Lol at all the people who want to throw out the whole appliance. Wait until they find out how much former piss is in all sources of water, what allowances there are for gross things in prepared food, and what's on every surface in human environments. Earth is one big mixing pot.

Give it a steralise cycle and it'll be cleaner than the counters around it, by any objective measure.

I am curious about the almost nothing else bit. What got put in the poo-poo cycle?

Edit: Psychology is another thing, and that's valid I guess, but man I can't imagine having disposable dishwasher kind of money.

Run the dishwasher in sanitize with like nothing else in it? Might at least make it acceptable in your mind

Some sex toys are dishwasher safe, it's not a big deal.

(I'm talking about the shitpusher, not about the croc. No idea why you included a dirty toilet in the pic tho.)

A few years ago I discovered that my girlfriend takes monster shits. She only poops once every 3 or 4 days. When I say "horse turd", I'm not kidding, just looking at one of these makes my ass hurt. Anyway, apparently this sort of thing isn't unheard of. I stumbled on a Reddit post about something called a "poop knife". I repurposed my shittiest chef's knife (pun intended) for this task, which has cut down on the number of times I have to plunge the toilet. We wash it off every time with tile cleaner, so it never goes in the dish washer. I've blunted the edge since it doesn't need to be sharp, and my girlfriend is a complete klutz. I can easily imagine her dropping it and cutting off a toe. Imagine having to explain to an ER doc cutting your toe off with a poop knife.

Similar to the blood-brain barrier, we have a kitchen-bathroom barrier policy. Tools for each space should never cross, even cleaning tools. So even brushes for the sinks are separate.

It's important that you know this: That's a shit puller, not a shit pusher.

Your dishwasher uses soap and hot water to clean everything in it and the washer itself.

This is no big deal.

Trust me chances are nastier stuff than your plunger has been in the washer.

See, this is one of those inconvenient situations where us Atheists really lack appropriate and proportional ways to express our feelings about things.

What exactly is it that you are Asking Lemmy?

almost nothing else...? Cmon OP, you've gotta elaborate there. What ended up taking a swim with the turd stick?

Make her watch something absolutely disgusting that no one should ever watch without knowing what they are getting themselves into >!2 girls 1 cup!< and ask her if she would ever use that glass again to eat out of.

And that now that's all you can't think about when you use anything that comes out if the dishwasher

• why call it a shit pusher? It doesn’t push shit
• why post online instead of just talking to her? Unless you’re doing both
• why did she not just rinse it off? What’s the point in deep cleaning a plunger when it’s going back into a toilet eventually anyways?

I’m a little fucking skeevee to buy it

• maybe it’s just me, but I can’t figure out what this means. You’re too skeeved out to buy the fact that it was ok to do?

For me personally it's the "almost nothing else" that went into the dishwasher with the plunger that truly pushed the narrative into holy shit territory.

It's actually not a big deal.

Run it with vinegar. Full a bowl with vinegar and place it on the top rack and run it with the hottest steam setting. 100% sterile inside afterward.

If she ran it with a very hot heated dry setting with the plunger, it's possible it's all disinfected anyway. Lots of people used the dish washer to sterilize jars for canning. The steam from the drying cycle is hot enough and last long enough to pasteurize everything.

dishwashers are fireproof, right? you know what, only one way to find out

Great title.

I would have used the opportunity to clean my toothbrush

Divorce her

Forever unclean!

I personally would throw the dishwasher away, and before that, permanently damage it to make sure no poor soul picks it up from the trash thinking they scored a free dishwasher without knowing it was once used to wash literal shit.

I would never be able to ever eat anything from any dish every washed on that machine, but again, that's me and my personal emotional reaction to it. I understand that if it reaches 90C it technically kills all bacteria or something. But I would still refuse.

For that same reason I never buy used kitchen utensils, because I have no way to know what has be used for before.

Well... my former roommate put the hair sieve from the shower into the full dishwasher. Like wtf. Sterilised anything by liquid fire afterwards.
