If anyone feels like humoring me, I would actually take a bit of a response as to how washing machines are better than a basket in a river, other than river-rationing-issues (aqueducts? Pipes??)
It’s for heating up the water for greases and oil stains, you’re absolutely right. I made a joke, but I’ve been doused in car oil before and I’ve had plenty of grease on my shirts from old farm machinery maintenance
By coincidence, my hot water heat recently broke. I expected the cold showers to be the worst part, but it was actually the difficulty cleaning dishes: grease, oil, and fat just wouldn’t come off the dishes (or the scrubby doodle, for that matter), despite ample application of soap. Since most of my meals involve those things, I eventually resorted to cleaning what could be cleaned with running cold tap water & soap, and setting an electric kettle to boil to do a second pass to try to melt off the remnants.

They, um, save time? And also heat up the water?

It did take longer.
