Ha ha. I take a Darwinian approach to my clothing: it all gets washed together, into the dryer together. Anything that shrinks or falls apart goes extinct from my wardrobe.
Same here, I have zero interest in spending time on clothing other than being clean and presentable.
I have a friend who does that with kitchen stuff. If it doesn't survive the dishwasher then it goes in the bin
Keeping knives sharp seems to be hard if you put them in the dishwasher. Maybe your friend just sharpens them a lot?
As long as you put them in where the blade won't hit other items, i'm not sure it'll actually do damage to the blade itself. Wooden handles could be damaged, but otherwise I think you're fine.
Electric sharpener is another nice timesaver but decent knives can still be "sharp enough" even if mistreated, for those weird people that are fine with half-dull knife
We do this. New stuff I buy has no sentimental value attached and if it can't be easily maintained, I have no interest in it. When in doubt (which is rare because we typically do our research before purchasing) we chuck it in the dishwasher...
Don’t put nonstick pans in the dishwasher. They will retain their nonstick far far longer if you always wash/dry them by hand.
