I bought a commercial clothes washer that lets me manually select how much water it uses. If I want it will fill that bitch all the way up to the splash rim like God intended. I let it run on auto the first time and my clothes were still soapy and the oxyclean hadn't even dissolved, there were just mildly damp granules of it clinging to the walls and my clothes. It took three full runs to get rid of the granules and I was ready to take it back and just pay literally whatever it took to fix the old one but thankfully it had the manual controls. The medium setting, which only fills the tumbler up about a third of the way, is usually plenty of water, which I feel says something about how little water it uses on automatic. It's only when I put in a comical amount of clothing that I definitely shouldn't be doing in one load that I feel like I should probably set it to high, and the max fill setting, as glorious as it is, is completely overkill for anything.
My dishwasher is about 25 years old and I'm dreading the day I need to replace it. It's already not great, so I can't imagine how awful they are nowadays
For my personal old man yelling at clouds rant, paint these days is fucking awful. I believe it was during the Obama days that the EPA had an edict that paint manufacturers had to reduce their CO2 output to the tune of about an average of 30% per gallon of what was the standard at the time. I can't put this one all on the EPA though because I have a feeling the manufacturer's like it like this too. The price of paint went up by about 50% and there just isn't a product that exists that will reliably cover in one coat if you're doing more than changing slightly different shades of the same color, and if it's a significant change you're lucky if it covers in three. So now whenever you're painting something it's pretty much a guarantee that you're going to have to buy 70-80% more paint, at a higher price even before accounting for inflation, than you would have in the 2000s. I don't know how much they actually reduced emissions by, but assuming they hit the bare minimum reduction, 70%*1.7=about 120% of the original CO2 required to create a gallon of paint that would have just done the job the first time around which is awful for the customers hiring painters
