Oh baby, that’s just the garbage disposal. His name is Hugo and we feed him scraps.

It’s so wild to me that Americans have garbage disposal in their sinks. I visited the States a few years back, wondered “what’s this light switch next to the sink for?” and it scared the shit out of me, I almost jumped out of my skin.

So wait what happens to the little bits of food that come off your dishes in the dishwasher? Those go through the garbage disposal in the US. Do they not eventually clog the drain?

Oh I agree, and the funny thing is I heard second hand is that the city’s water treatment people still would prefer you just throw away your scraps (or better, compost). It does end up being a little useful on occasion, though, and it also creates a whirlpool that drains the sink faster.
That said, if I need the voltage from that breaker to power something else, I’d forsake it in a heartbeat. We already rerouted the garbage compactor to help power the heat pump we put in.

My irrational fear as a kid. That last drop of water hanging on the drain cover terrified me
