Someone Pondered What Happens After You Turn On A Dishwasher—And The Internet Has Theories

Someone Pondered What Happens After You Turn On A Dishwasher—And The Internet Has Theories
Twitter: @bobby

Ever wondered what goes on inside your dishwasher when you turn it on? Yeah, I haven't either. But the Internets are wondering, and theories are abounding on Twitter. And here at Comic Sands, we are dedicated to solving the great mysteries plaguing mankind. Maybe next time we can tackle where socks go after a cycle in the dryer. After all, spoons never seem to disappear. But I digress.


A guy named Bobby pondered this very thing, and shared his hypothesis with Twitter. He thinks there could be a small man who rapidly scrubs soiled dishes once that button is pushed.

"Just realized i have no idea what goes on inside a dishwasher after i hit the start button. for all i know there could be a tiny man in there washing each dish by hand."

That's probably not what happens. Probably.

To his credit, Bobby is sticking to his guns.

Now, a camera could provide answers, but the logistics of it seem a bit complex, mainly because of the immense heat dishwashers generate.

Bobby isn't alone. Could "those spinny things" really just be for show? What if the dishes get treated to a rave?

And he may have convinced Ms. Spinny Blades.

Personally, I like the rave theory.

And that's pretty close to the truth. Although, at full steam, dishwashers completely fill with water.


You're welcome.

U.S. UFC Star Threatens Canada For Booing Anthem—Then Gets His A** Handed To Him

High School Group Asks MAGA Rep. Why Trump Looks 'So Orange'—And His Answer Is Awkward AF

Things sure got awkward for Georgia Republican Representative Brian Jack after a group of students asked him during a Q&A session why President Donald Trump is "so orange."

People can only speculate what brand of makeup or bronzer Trump uses on a daily basis but there's a reason why he's been nicknamed "the orange man," "Agent Orange," and even "Mango Mussolini"—the color of his face is really, really hard to miss given he's photographed all the time.

Transportation Secretary Slammed After Admitting He Made A Telling Switch To Wife's Recent Flight

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy was criticized after admitting in a recent audio clip that he'd just switched his wife's Newark Liberty International Airport flight to one out of LaGuardia Airport—despite previously claiming his family flies out of Newark Airport "all the time."

Duffy’s remarks came as staffing shortages caused major flight disruptions at Newark on Monday, with the F.A.A. forced to delay incoming flights from across the continental U.S. and parts of Canada. According to an online advisory, delays averaged over 1 hour and 40 minutes and in some cases stretched to nearly seven hours.
