These things and kitchen sink blenders are the two most mysterious things for an European child watching US-Shows.

I at least understand the water fountains and experienced them a few times here and there but the sink blender waiting to chop your fingers is a total mystery.

Garbage disposal? They have limited utility, but save you from having to transfer food scraps from the sink to the trash or compost.
The built in ice/water dispenser in the refrigerator is the one that mystifies me.

Garbage disposals are a thing I can't understand for the life of me. Like yes the food scraps are disgusting but you pull out the metal filter not scrape the food from the sink. And it isn't free correct me of I am wrong but it costs about 50 dollars.

Try like $200-300. Mine cost $286 because I needed one compatible with my septic system. Plus of course you have to pay to have it installed, including having an outlet installed under your sink if there wasn't already one there.

But I realllly hate the drain trap baskets. I never want to be without a garbage disposal!

That much for a motor which shreds soft food?!!

[-] klemptor@startrek.website 2 points 2 days ago

Yes indeed! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They are not as common as TV makes it seem, at least not where I'm at in the north east.
