Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Dishwashers use much less water.

i am too tall to fit in my dishwasher

I think it depends on how many people live at a place. I live alone and would never be able to fill up a dishwasher, using a lot more water for a few dishes than I would.

Buy more dishes so you can go longer between washes
Buy a half-height dishwasher. They exist, I owned one that lived on the floor of my bathroom.

I live alone and I fill up my full size dishwashers every few days. If you don't eat ordered/preprocessed food you can also just chuck pots and pans in the bottom rack.

Dishwashers use a lot less water than hand-washing. Even if there's a little bit of room left, it's still a net positive. There's no reason for anyone to hand-wash unless they live in a tiny NYC broom closet or exclusively eat take-out in disposable containers.

Tbf I should have added that I don't have the space anyway, I might have considered it if I had. I live in a small flat in europe, so probably what you would consider a NYC broom closet.

Not just broom closets that lack space. Both of my pans are cast iron which cant go in the dish washer. So what, am I going to get like 40 plates and sets of cutlery because that is all I would use that can go in there? Going by the floor plan of my house when I bought it the kitchen is about 5m², where is all of this stuff going to live now that I also lose most of the cupboard space for the dish washer? Already got a washing machine using up a lot of space. Bungalow, about 60m² for the entire place.

You can also fill up the dishwasher over the course of a couple of days. Makes things even more convenient.

I have Bob, the mini dishwasher, perfectly sized for that use case. Now, the fact that it is designed to use proprietary washing cartridges on the other hand... (At around 5 to 10 price of regular washing powder too. Thankfully mine is old enough to not notice you opened the door if you're fast enough)
