I had it. Needs a fatigue mat.

[-] expr@programming.dev 10 points 11 hours ago

Also some kind of ventilation.

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

[-] Cort@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago

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

[-] AstralPath@lemmy.ca 44 points 1 day ago

"Do we like this?"

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

You're being gollumophobic đźš©

[-] pyre@lemmy.world 1 points 6 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.

[-] droans@midwest.social 11 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.

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 118 points 1 day ago

Now THAT’s oil painting !

[-] hungryphrog 68 points 1 day ago

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

[-] Fifrok@discuss.tchncs.de 28 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 1 points 22 hours ago

Sounds like a great way to ruin paintings.

[-] Saleh@feddit.org 15 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 39 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 21 hours ago

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

[-] roscoe@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 day ago

Yeah, I was going to ackchyually them about that range then I noticed the painting.

[-] fubarx@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day 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.

[-] rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works 50 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

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

Yar, nor do they sail the seven seas!

[-] troed@fedia.io 30 points 1 day ago

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

It's obviously an OLED TV.

[-] moseschrute@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago

These Samsung wallpaper tvs have gotten really realistic

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??

The all new bond girls for the age of inclusivity.

[-] Zier@fedia.io 21 points 1 day ago

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

[-] Fermion@feddit.nl 5 points 1 day ago

They'll have a unique Pollock inspired piece in no time.

[-] Vrijgezelopkamers@lemmy.world 15 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 15 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 10 points 1 day ago

I should get some spoons with speed holes

These are super useful if you hate soup.

[-] mathemachristian 10 points 1 day ago

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

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.

[-] accideath@feddit.org 10 points 1 day ago

Forget them hanging a picture above their stove. What’s worse is that they didn’t even centre it.
