Oh, really?

Yeah.

I thought you were going to say just listening to our show puts people to sleep.

Okay, so there's more to this.

British writer and science communicator Zion Lights, who runs the YouTube channel Science with Zai, looks like I need to look into this, took to the platform to explain what happened in an April 7th short.

She explained objects such as appliances can occasionally pick up radio frequencies, especially strong AM signals.

Hello.

Yay.

The phenomenon known as radio frequency interference is caused by ungrounded or loosely grounded wires or metal or breakdown of internal shielding or filtering in a machine's components.

And then the parts will act like antennas and receive signals and then generate sound waves audible to humans.

I want to try this now.

Not with my dishwasher because I rent.

I also refuse to use my dishwasher.

I hand wash everything.

It's not as good as me.

Because friction with soap is what gets stuff off.

Hot water, yes, but it doesn't have to be blazing hot.

You using soap and water yourself and then friction rubs off dirt and oil and grime better than some dishwasher.

The machines are not better than me.

No, that'll just make my apartment more hot.
