That painting is gonna be covered in tomato sauce splatter and oil

[-] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 7 points 11 hours ago

I had it. Needs a fatigue mat.

[-] expr@programming.dev 10 points 8 hours ago

Also some kind of ventilation.

And the painting would get fucked up pretty quickly in general.

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 6 points 6 hours ago

One good grease fire and it'll catch the painting on fire too.

[-] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 36 points 1 day ago

"Do we like this?"

That's the biggest cant-think-for-myself red flag I've ever heard.

[-] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 18 points 18 hours ago

I mean, asking for others opinions is a pretty normal and social behavioral thing to do... No?

Things I like I find others tend not to, so if I'm making something to appeal to others and not myself, I ask what they like.

Ofc this example of a picture hung over a stove is.... Asinine, but my point still stands in response to your statement.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 4 points 6 hours ago

Yes, asking for people's thoughts on things is normal. It is not asking for others to think for you. They're too caught up on the wording.

You're being gollumophobic 🚩

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

blatant venomophobia

You mean this AI generated slop? No, can't say I care for it. Even if it were real, no handles on the smaller oven doors, fire hazard oil painting (that would be FILTHY the first time you boiled a sauce/soup) over a gas stove, no vent hood or overhead light... no thank you.

[-] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 10 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Lol ovens like this existed.

My parents literally have one of them right now in their kitchen.

They are less than ideal for sure.

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago)

I know they exist in that style. This one is AI though. You can see some tell tale signs if you zoom in. Continuity errors with the boards on either side of the painting, utensils and cutting boards with weird curves and abstract shapes, the missing handles, knobs with weird protrusions, a window with a taller frame on the bottom so it cant open more than 6 inches, sails on the painted ship that tmake no sense, etc.

[-] Hackworth@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 hours ago

I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few AIs in my time.

[-] droans@midwest.social 10 points 1 day ago

This is definitely AI but similar ovens used to be built and, I'm sure, still are.

However, there are still plenty of issues.

Open flame plus a flammable painting. And the painting is right over the oven where it will get covered in grease. And that's a gas range with no hood.

There's a reason ovens usually open from the top these days. It's safer and allows you to peak without opening the entire oven or leaning at an odd angle. Locking handles are also no longer used because little kids can climb in and accidentally get stuck.

The multiple drawers sounds like a good idea but it just means that you can't cook large dishes. Usually you'd only see styles like this in restaurant kitchens because they will know how large of an oven they need and can benefit from having multiple sizes for different dishes.

[-] silasmariner@programming.dev 2 points 5 hours ago

Oh yeah this is one of the biggest things that AI fucks up -- reality. Nobody would put a painting above a stove IRL. That's the most obvious flag to me. It's like a spot-the-difference

[-] sunoc@sh.itjust.works 119 points 1 day ago

Now THAT’s oil painting !

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 69 points 1 day ago

Oh sure, hang an oil painting right above a woodstove. What could go wrong?

[-] Fifrok@discuss.tchncs.de 29 points 1 day ago

Sadly that's not a woodstove, that would be too good.

That's probably an Aga style stove. Those are mostly made with cast-iron and use radiant heat to cook. Each oven 'compartent' has a diffrent function (eg. top left is warming, bottom left is for roasting and a big one for baking). They work kinda like a masonry heater. And are meant to be always on.

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 19 hours ago

Sounds like a great way to ruin paintings.

[-] Saleh@feddit.org 16 points 1 day ago

Arent they supposed to also double as heating the house, or at least the main room?

[-] belastend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 day ago

Fortunately, this range does not exist. It's AI

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah but you can get stoves that look just like that. A lot of them are actually induction these days rather than radiant, the main benefit being it doesn't heat the kitchen up to sweltering temperatures.

[-] RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 41 points 1 day ago

I didn't mind it until I saw the painting and now I'm just scared of it!

[-] TomMasz@piefed.social 12 points 1 day ago

Same here. But I had to read the comments to figure that out, I was too fixated on the stove.

[-] garbagebagel@lemmy.world 2 points 18 hours ago

I actually really love the stove but yeah lol that person definitely does not cook in their kitchen

Clearly, the painting has special meaning to the owner and significance to the location. It's likely made of heat-resistant material, and...

Oh, who are we kidding. It's the same width as the stove and is matchy-match blue.

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 7 points 1 day ago

Yar, nor do they sail the seven seas!

[-] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 1 day ago

An overly tidy house is often a sign of imbalance, ahem. 😜

[-] qyron@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 day ago

What does a cronically untidy house say, oh wise one?

[-] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Could be ADHD or anxiety too. Possibly OCD as well.

I guess my point is that 'mental illness' is more succinct.

[-] dingus@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

Quite frankly I'm just lazy. I've always hated picking up my things and I've struggled with organization since I was a child. I think with me...my parents never really got on me about being neat and organized. So I never got into the habit. Still turned out fine! It just means I frantically clean before people come over lol.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 1 points 9 hours ago

So I got depression, adhd, anxiety and ocd. Thank you, internet strangers!

Maybe they just hate the painting and want to cover it in oil, smoke, food, and fire

[-] troed@fedia.io 31 points 1 day ago

Surely everyone understands a real painting can't take the heat.

It's obviously an OLED TV.

What an odd sur name. I wanna change mine to an object too. Something like Jon housekey, Jim doorknob, Tommy tailgate, Thomas teriyaki beef jerky??

[-] Zier@fedia.io 22 points 1 day ago

Can't wait for the addition of spaghetti sauce splatters. And the house fire.

Definitely nobody has ever used a frying pan on this stove.

[-] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 1 day ago

I used to work for a company that made these kinds of almost art pieces. You definitely got a certain sort of client.

To be clear you can actually use them to cook food, they do work, but they are definitely more focused on the aesthetics side of things than the functionality. Having said that they do have things like timers and different cooking modes.

They come with instructions on how to clean them and it looks like a hell of a process so I don't think I'd ever want to cook with them.

[-] Vrijgezelopkamers@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I guess AI doesn’t concern itself with practicality. What’s up with the weird shaped spoons and spoonhandles?

[-] Deceptichum@quokk.au 16 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Do you not cook?

Spatula come in a huge variety of shapes for different purposes.

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 11 points 1 day ago

I should get some spoons with speed holes
