2 simple questions I need answers to!

Voltex

1) Why do washing machines have two compartments for washing powder when your only supposed to put the powder in one?

2) Why is the chainset of every bicycle always on the right side? Is it just standard or is there a very interesting law or something?

which question does that answer?

1 - the second compartment is probably for fabric softener or something

2 - Bikes used to have thread on freewheels. With the chain on the right side, a conventionally threaded freewheel tightens itself onto the hub as you pedal. If you turned it around and put the freewheel on the left side, it would unscrew itself.

To confuse you. Things can't be too easy.

It's because the sprockets and chainrings are on the right. If you put the chain on the left, nothing would happen when you peddled.

The 2nd compartment is for the pre wash which some wash cycles have

Has someone just started college?

Relax, you'll get to that stuff in 3rd year (unless you're doing arts, in which case it will always be a mystery).

Oh dear. Do your clothes come out clean, or are your dishes all smashed to ****?

Washing up liquid is for cleaning dishes, while washing powder is for washing clothes.

Washing up liquid is for cleaning dishes, while washing powder is for washing clothes.

It might not get things very clean but the bubbles are quite impressive!

When I get married, my husband won't wear a shirt!

Dishwashers really piss me off - they all have those plastic compartments that you put the dishwasher tablets into. In the instruction manual, it tells you to make sure the compartment is closed fully before turning the machine on.

I did this religiously for years. And always thought to myself, what's that bloody noise the machine makes about 2 mins after you turn it on - a kinda "thunk" sound?

So one day, I opened the dishwasher to see what the noise was & lo and behold - there was the dishwasher tablet on the bottom of the machine. So, basically, you put the tablet into the compartment & make sure it's closed, just so the machine can fling the thing onto the bottom.

For f*ck sake. I could have done that myself & saved a countless amount of time & effort.

Ah Dishwashers are ****e!:mad: put your Fairy in compartment 1 of your washing machine and see how clean they get, saves the time and effort of putting the dishes away too!

Answer to question 1:

There is a compartment for liquid detergents/fabric softners and a seperate compartment for washing powder! Read your instruction booklet, icon inside each compartment might give you an idea, or maybe do a wash and see which seems more feasible, you know about it fairly fast which compartment to use!! One will get blocked the other won't!

Anwser to question 2:

Don't know wether its standard or law, but depends on where you chain it too? more feasible to chain it to the right side less likely to get robbed!? Depends which way you chain it and what yoke you chain it too?

Best answers you get will be from Jedward let loose! Hard not to laugh at them unable to do the most basic household things!

1. There is a pre-wash cycle and a standard wash cycle that are available on most machines. There is a section for each where powder goes.
(The third one is for conditioner)

2. Not a clue.

Couple of theories online. Push bikes originated in UK where people drive on the left, so it was safer to dismount on the left.

Right-handed bicycle cavalry officers had their sword on the left hand side so the chain being on the right meant there was less chance it would become entangled.
