    I made my girlfriend watch an almost one hour long video about dishwashers (I think it was by the channel “Technological Connections”)

    Anyway she was amazed and did not regret it!

      I love trying to get my partner to watch technology connection videos. I don’t think she really believes me when I go, oh yes there is actually a video about traffic lights heating systems or tell her about the multi-year long Christmas decoration lights saga.

      There is at least one follow up to that dishwasher one, or perhaps just a related one, about dishwasher detergent.

      He got some pods chemically tested to vindicate his hatred of them. They scientifically do not work as well as the much cheaper loose powders. Specifically pods don’t utilize the prewash, which is an important part of the machines ability to clean what’s being run through.

      I think he also created his own line of dishwasher detergent because of his lab results iirc

      Everyone loves Technology Connections. Also, watching Alec rant about Christmas lights every year is tradition now.

        I’m a woman and I like his channel. The first of his vids I watched was the one about brown being weird* and I went on from there. He’s the only account I follow on mastodon on my main feed and not hidden in a list.

        *the colour, not us brown people.
