She couldn’t sleep, because there were more important things to do and her brain knew it. So periodically, after a few tosses or turns, she’d whip out her Galaxy Tab 10 and ask important questions on the internet.

has anyone survived being in a dishwasher, she typed into the Google.

“Could a human sit inside a dishwasher and survive a cycle of it running? Would they be able to get out from the inside?” replied quora. Wendy Brown, former retired nurse, said:

A person inside a dishwasher would be scalded terribly by the very hot water. They might be alive when the cycle was completed, but in horrible pain and in dire need of emergency medical treatment, with a very long stay in a burn unit to follow.

That is, if they did not suffocate first, as a dishwasher is a sealed, waterproof and air-tight box, and an adult would take up a lot of space, displacing most of the air.

There is no mechanism inside a dishwasher that would allow someone locked inside it to escape.

She didn’t believe Wendy Brown, of course. So she went to try to get into her dishwasher. Her dishwasher was quite big, and she was quite small. And there wasn’t much in it. She took out two plates so that she could just about get in. And she just about managed to close the door. Then she realised she had forgotten to put a Finish Powerball in. But she couldn’t open the door. Sadly, she died.
