Hi, I’m currently at an eco-village, and had a discussion about washing dishes per hand vs using a dishwasher. I was not completely sure, but have read somewhere, that a dishwasher is more efficient (in terms of energy and water usage). I just fact-checked that and indeed, when not being super careful by handwashing (no running water, using very little detergent, rather cold water etc.), a dishwasher is more efficient.

I think it would be super useful to have a dense wiki for stuff like this for everyday life, because it’s so easy to think that something different is more efficient. Because at first thought it doesn’t sound immediately intuitive.

Does anybody know if there’s something like this? And if not, it probably makes sense to start a wiki like that.

    It could start by having a pinned post thats updated with links to specific-topic posts. It would be a low barrier start, and it would make sure new topics (like washing dishes) show up in a feed. (If they don’t show up in a feed I’m probably never going to read them)

    Once there’s enough content it’ll be straightforward to convert to a wiki.

    Topics I’d like to see are; short/simple guides to rainwater collection and solar panels
