I don't understand how the quantum dish detergent is different from the not-quantum dish detergent

@mcc the quantum detergent is a rip-off. You can get the same effect by dispersing the classic detergent through a double slit dispenser

@mcc Usually there's some subtle difference if you inspect the active ingredients on the package, but the only thing I can say at a glance is that the top one is 35/618g = 17.65g/unit and the bottom is 45/540g = 12g/unit

So there is a difference in mass of about 25%. Does that mean the Quantum ones are more powerful chemicals and therefore lighter? The world may never know.

kotinotter,

@mcc quantum has less single use packaging

benleedom,

@mcc Physicists are still trying to figure out how to make quantum detergent and gravity detergent work together

@mcc Oh! I know what Quantum is! It's this:

@mcc Actual answer: it's much more expensive for no good reason and they put the cheaper kind in frustrating packaging. Each tablet is individually wrapped and you have to painstakingly extract it before use. The Quantum ones come in a gelatin that dissolves in the water.

Ariane,

@mcc I stopped trying and just follow him. He's making very good points. I don't even look at the aisle not and just laser focus on the cardboard box with the store logo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rBO8neWw04

SinbadTheSailor,

@mcc So anytime I have this question I Google the MSDS sheets.

Turns out quantum has 5-25% more disodium carbonate than regular.

@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@SinbadTheSailor oh

Is that good?

SinbadTheSailor,

@mcc No idea, but it is in fact, slightly different and not just (but potentially mostly) advertising.

@mcc @SinbadTheSailor That is a.k.a. “washing soda,” so yes. It’s quite cleansing.

@mcc Ordinary detergent either cleans your dishes or doesn't. But with quantum detergent your dishes are both clean and unclean and you won't know their final state until you open the dishwasher door.

mcc,
@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

Does the quantum dish detergent clean your dishes even in the parallel universes where you didn't buy it. Does the quantum dish detergent only work 50% of the time

If you use the quantum dish detergent does it leave your dishes in a superposition of clean and dirty until you hold them up to the kitchen light and look at them carefully with furrowed eyebrows

@mcc Honestly all of the detergent sold in discrete packets should be labeled quantum

@mcc Finish Quantum requires a superconducting dishwasher

If you put your cat in the dishwasher with quantum ones Schrodinger rises from the grave yelling enough with cat stuff already

@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@faassen I was looking it up last week and apparently he was more of a dog person

@mcc
Plausible given the locking up a cat with poison gas triggered by radiation thing

Pavlov doesn't sound like a dog person though

@mcc I'd guess it would work like quantum torpedoes. Have dishes and live, use it and none of that will be a problem any more.

0x56,

@mcc it cleans half of each dish, and you won't know which half until the next time you're eating off of it

esther,

@mcc it accelerates your dishes to the point where it’s impossible to measure whether they’re dirty or not

@mcc
Quantum is liquid in a gel pack. The normal stuff is all powder.
I use this detergent and it's fine.

mcc,
@mcc@mastodon.social avatar

@mrblissett thank you for explaining

vmstan,

@mcc the first thing.

rodneylives,

@mcc You can only buy it in discrete quantities. You either have one, none, or some probability between them, but never a fractional amount.

cenobyte,
@cenobyte@mastodon.thirring.org avatar

@mcc Not only does it clean your dishes in parallel universes where you didn’t buy it, it cleans your dishes in parallel universes where you don’t even have a dishwasher to start with!

at,

@mcc Well, you do need the dirty ones to destructively interfere (the states, not the dishes) before you measure. Really hope we get room-temperature quantum dishwashing working some day, exponential speedup for tea stains sounds great.

desplesda,

@mcc by a very small amount

mybarkingdogs,

@mcc 1000 percent more advertising bullshit!
