    I just read an article promising to tell me 11 things I did not know I could wash in the washing machine. They failed to have even one thing I did not know. Damn clickbait.

      Did you know you can wrap a piece of salmon up in alfoil, chuck it in with your clothes, run a delicate cycle, and voila! Perfectly cooked salmon every time

      I’ll give you one you probably don’t know - you can put your dirty dishes in the washing machine!

      I mean you’ll need to buy new dishes, and probably a new washing machine, but doesn’t mean you can’t wash them in there! Works for any electronics too!

          Or from experience, toddlers.

          That’s how this pom ended up being shipped to Australia in the first place.

          (I am hopefully very obviously joking)

      I’ve got another one for you.

      Did you know that if you crank up the machines RPM as high as it’ll go then you’ve got a high speed cheese wheel grater?

          Hilariously one Christmas, my partner and I we were buying cheese at the Vic markets; it was chaos as you’d expect.

          I was paying and my partner was stressed and packing it all in to our bags.

          Long story short: they’d placed our items on top of a cheese wheel large enough for this to work and so for 4 minutes of our life we could’ve tried this.

          (We returned it of course and they had hilariously already replaced it with another wheel and were just as confused as us)
