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

[-] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I hate it. Needs a fatigue mat.

[-] expr@programming.dev 10 points 1 day ago

Also some kind of ventilation.

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

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

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

[-] sunoc@sh.itjust.works 121 points 3 days ago

Now THAT’s oil painting !

[-] kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world 45 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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 11 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days 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 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day 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 1 day ago

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

[-] droans@midwest.social 10 points 2 days 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.

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

[-] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 36 points 2 days ago

"Do we like this?"

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

[-] douglasg14b@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days 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 1 day 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.

[-] drolex@sopuli.xyz 7 points 2 days ago

You're being gollumophobic 🚩

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

blatant venomophobia

[-] hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone 69 points 3 days ago

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

[-] Fifrok@discuss.tchncs.de 29 points 3 days 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.

[-] Saleh@feddit.org 16 points 3 days ago

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

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

[-] TomMasz@piefed.social 12 points 3 days 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 2 days ago

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

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

[-] fubarx@lemmy.world 21 points 3 days ago

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.

[-] troed@fedia.io 31 points 3 days ago

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

It's obviously an OLED TV.

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

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

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??

[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 18 points 3 days ago

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

[-] Atelopus-zeteki@fedia.io 7 points 2 days ago

Yar, nor do they sail the seven seas!

[-] Vrijgezelopkamers@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days 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 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Do you not cook?

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

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 11 points 3 days ago

I should get some spoons with speed holes

[-] Klear@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

These are super useful if you hate soup.

They're amazing for cooking soup! How do you stir??
