If it's not dishwasher safe, it has no place in my cupboard, even if it is the coolest mug in the world

Nah, I'd rather just toss it in the dishwasher anyways and let fate decide what happens to it lol
We've been washing clothes by hand since we invented textiles, do you do your laundry by hand?
Exactly.
I love you, but thems the reality.
This jacket says dry clean only, which means it's dirty.
I love that and I sometimes do this as well for cheap disposable shit
No shit? Thats crazy! /s
Yes, only for things that has tags that say "hand wash only". Do you not know how to read instructions?
Dishwashers use less than a tenth of the water compared to hand washing. This is because they recycle water, and only drain it after debris is removed from the plates, then drained and replaced. Repeat. All in all, it only uses a few gallons.
It's easier, more efficient, and more sanitary. The same is true for washing machines for the same reason. If you want to criticise dryers, fine, but washers are all better than hand washing.
Hey silly, I'm only talking about hand washing this one singular hypothetical cup in this fucking meme not my entire damn dish rack.
But then this cup requires (approximately) ten times the amount of water to clean than the average cup.
Ah, point made. The solution is to shatter the cup against my diabetic monitor, toss it into another sprawling enormous landfill and drop ship another cheap replacement.
See that's the thing, usually the mugs that require hand washing are the cheap drop shipped crap
Mugs that are dishwasher safe are so because the manufacturer spent the extra 0.0003 cents per mug for the extra sealant layer to protect the artwork against it and tested it to ensure it can stand up to the dishwasher and started with quality materials to begin with
Those cheap crap mugs skimp out on that layer or 2, testing and use the cheapest base materials they can find
The solution is to use it as a decoration piece
Nude Shrek mug as the main decoration piece
Do you have any idea how many cups/mugs/plates/pans say this? Most of my dishes are not "dishwasher safe". Only a couple have had any issues with it.
Similarly, look at how many of your clothes are incredibly delicate according to the tag. It's erring on the side of extreme caution, and to provide a defense if it's a piece of shit that falls apart.
Not sure what clothes you're wearing/buying, but every single piece I own says it will do fine with 40°C and tumble drying, except for my suits (I have two, not a closet full), which is not exactly delicate handling.
Lol, imagine following instructors on everything, even when you know better.
I'm legit very dumb and often those warnings not to eat silica gel is for me. Sorry everyone!
