American dishwashers run very hot and use harsh detergents. Some dishes and cookware will state on their packing or even on themselves that they are not dishwasher safe.
Despite this, the sheer convenience of the dishwasher will make people ignore the warnings, and the objects retain their basic functionality just often enough that the meme can be an open-ended YOLO-like joke, phrased like parental encouragement, instead of merely mocking people who try it.
With the exception of pots and pans, which take-up too much dishwasher space, if it can't survive in the dishwasher, I don't want it anyway. Run it through and if it breaks it breaks!
This. 'Gentle hand wash only' clothes go in the machine. If they can't go in the machine, let them be ruined.

People with this mindset tend to stay far away from formal wear.
Nonsense. I've had to replace every suit jacket I've ever owned, so far, but I'll find one that makes the cut, eventually~
