I can’t prove it but I think there is a real sociolinguistic phenomenon where Americans are unusually obsessed with “safety through temperature”. Like they hear “fire = no germs” as children and somehow internalize that steaks should be somewhere between well done and burnt beyond recognition, and dishwashers should boil your plates like you’re sterilizing a hospital gown that’s been thrown up on by an Ebola patient.
Soap, bitches. It works. Even at 40 °C (with modern detergent and washing cycles). Good thing too because I don’t want to know how y’all are having sex if you think boiling water is the only decent cleaning procedure for putting things in your mouth.
