    Now THAT’s oil painting !

  • hungryphrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

    • Fifrok@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.

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

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

        Sounds like a great way to ruin paintings.

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

      Lol I’ve s like this existed.

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

      Almost none of what you mentioned makes this AI generated. The picture frame is the biggest sus callout here

      • kryptonianCodeMonkey@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        I know they exist in that style. This one is AI though. You can see some tell tale signs of you zoom in. Continuity errors with the boards on either side of the painting, utensils with abstract shapes, the missing handles, knobs with weird protrusions, etc.

      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

  • rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

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

    “Do we like this?”

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

    • douglasg14b@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.

      source
      • JackbyDev@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.

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

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

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

      source
  • fubarx@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ 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.

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

        The holes in the ones in the picture are not like those in a risotto spoon. And those shapes are rather exotic, even when you ignore all the perforations. It’s an abstract expressionist’s interpretation of cooking utensils.

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

    source
    • moseschrute@lemmy.ml ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      Like vertically?

      source
      • accideath@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

        Horizontally. The picture is not perfectly centred above the stove. Needs to be moved a little bit to the right.

      Also some kind of ventilation.

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

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

  • DavidGarcia@feddit.nl ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    I mean no glass on the oven door is a little bit inconvenient and there is no visible range hood, othewise there is nothing wrong with it. cleaning a gas stove is more work, but some people swear by gas. the painting can be a glass print if you really want it. I don’t understand why this qualifies as a meme

    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.
