Why do you keep focusing on “water”? I don’t get what you’re getting at. You don’t wash dishes with just water. Water is a very small and inconsequential component of the process.
You wash dishes by squeezing some dishwashing liquid on a dishwashing sponge, then pour hot water onto the dish being cleaned and leave it on as you clean, then you scrub the dish clean with the sponge while water flows over washing away what’s left.
Then when there are no longer any visible stains on the dishes in question, the dishes are considered clean and you put them on a drying rack and/or pat them down with a towel to ensure dryness.
All i see going into the sink during this process is soapy water. I’ve no idea what is or isn’t “grease” of that liquid. It’s all just food waste. It disappears away into nothingness, as it should.
Why it could cause any issues all of a sudden when it never has and the only place people have ever mentioned it or claimed to do it is on the internet.
Ig it’s like one of those “put an iPhone in a microwave” trolling things to get people to keep jars of dirt/trash/food waste and spread insects and/or disease?
Edit: Downvoted because you’re upset at the mention of dishes?
The question was can I pour oil down the drain. The “Rule of Thumb” (a general catch-all rule that plumbers use) is if it can’t rinse away with water, don’t pour it down the drain. I replied to whether you can pour olive oil down the drain. I don’t know why you started talking about washing dishes.
People who pour grease down the drain have definitely never unclogged a drain before.
Usually something like half fibers (hair, tampons, “flushable” wipes, etc), half grease and fats.
If it’s a solid at room temp, it probably shouldn’t go down the drain.
so would olive oil be ok
Nope. Nothing oily that doesn’t rinse away completely with water. Most people forget butter and peanut butter, too.
But olive oil does rinse away pretty easily with water and washing up liquid? So does butter and bacon fat?

Yes, Popeye will eat his spinach and rescue her.
