The Picard ManeuverThey don't want you to know
dustyDataWatching food cook is appetizing and also a necessity to know when it is done. Watching the slurry of fat, food rests and soap is not.
Then why do washing machines for clothes have windows?
fishosTo check the progress before electric displays and fancy indicator lights. Windows came before those upgrades when machines were still dial controlled.
But they still have windows. Plus I think old fashioned top loading ones didn’t actually.
Because people liked the feature. Look, I’m just saying WHY they added windows. That was the reason. I’m not saying it’s a good reason or no one could figure things out before. They added them for that reason, people liked it, and it stuck around. Yet, there’s always gonna be someone dragging out their 30 year old washer going “but mine is fine!”. Never said it wasn’t. Or someone pointing out that not all washers have a window ever today. Cool. Nifty. But if yours does have one, that was the reason they got added.
