There’s a really good short form podcast by a couple food scientists in the USA and they covered this one saying not risky. https://www.riskyornot.co/episodes/548-cleaning-the-toilet-brushes-in-the-dishwasher-top-rack

Even if true, what if someone said they shit on their plates, throw the shit in the toilet, them dishwasher the plates.

Would you conceptually still be ok eating off that plate? Even if you knew for fact it had gone through the machine?

Yes. I would be happy to eat off a clean plate that once had shit on it.

Truly we live in a society

Frankly I've been to a golden corral before I don't know why this is even a question

Most dish cleaners are like, bleach-based. As long as it was something that could be killed with bleach and hot HOT water/air, I really could care less

So you watch me I take a shit on a plate, put it in the machine and serve you chicken tendies off that plate an hour and a half later.

That's insane

Buddy if I watch you shit on a plate we ain't eating tendies together regardless of what plate you use

Right! And if I put a toilet brush in the dishwasher, and you watch me do that, it's the same fucking thing

Ok.

If I vomit on a plate and put it in the dishwasher, how you gonna feel about eating off it?

Better than shit, vomit is not shit unless you are Cartman.

All I'm saying is if you ever eat off a plate in a restaurant, the chances that a child has blown chunks all over it are extremely high, and even if they haven't it's been in the same dishwasher as one that had been.

Obviously all bets are off in a commercial environment.

All bets are off in your own house.

Your toothbrush had more shit on it right this second than any plate coming out of a dishwasher ever will.

Dishwashers aren't just getting hot, they're also covering every thing in them with a compound that is going to absolutely murder every living organism inside and then wash the remains away.

I'm aware biologically the plates are clean. I've been referring to conceptual cleanliness since my original comment

wouldn't be the nastiest nor most unhygienic thing humans do willingly on a regular basis by a lot. it is mostly just the idea that is quite uncomfortable.

Do you brush your teeth in the same room you make your boom boom?

Toothbrush is stored in a cabinet, toilet is never flushed with the seat up. Toilet is in like, a closet/stall thing.

Yes, I have eaten at a restaurant before.

Not what I asked. You, me, kitchen, shit plate.

Huh don’t have time to listen to the whole thing rn but wonder what their rationale is 🤔

It’s been a bit, but if I recall, it’s that the dishwasher already reliably cleans unsanitary things that are loads more biologically risky like cutting boards used for raw meat or potentially contaminated with things like Norovirus.

I have never even once cleaned a cutting board in the dishwasher...

I always do lmao, at least the non-wood ones.

Running plastic cutting boards in the dishwasher is less weird to me, but in general it is a weird concept to me, it was just never done at home or at any place I did the dishes.

There's a reason restaurants cannot use wooden cutting boards.

You should, heating it for three hours is better than sanitary wipes.

Sanity wipes?

What are people talking about here, I wash my cutting boards by hand in the kitchen sink, it has worked well for decades

I could see it being safe from a germ perspective but when a little nugget of shit rattles around in the machine and ends up anywhere near what you're using to eat that's gotta suck, safe or not.
