@Trish1980: My silverware comes out equally as clean with the pointy bits down, so maybe it's just a difference between our dishwashers. So for me (and probably for a lot of other readers), there's no downside whatsoever. If my forks came out dirty whenever I put them tines down, I'd probably consider putting them tines up instead, but more likely, I'd just get rid of that crappy dishwasher.

@Trish1980: I think you're just focusing on death. I'd like to avoid a fork-impaled hand if at all possible, and I imagine that's less rare. Even given the relative rarity, if you can avoid a gruesome injury simply by putting pointy stuff down, why wouldn't you do it?

I don't really care how things are loaded as long as everything gets clean, but I do have one rule: Pointy stuff down in the cutlery basket. This is why

Throw in a shot of vodka and it wakes the whole thing up... super crisp and refreshing! I've always known the variation with the vodka as "summer beer".

There's an etsy shop that has air plants, terrariums, and little air plant terrariums! It's like a triple whammy!

Pretty sure their airplants are grown in CA, to address In Everything's valid concerns.

Are some of those photos (especially the first one) using high dynamic range imaging? If so, isn't that kind of cheating?
