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

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 23 hours 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

“Do we like this?”
That’s the biggest cant-think-for-myself red flag I’ve ever heard.
douglasg14b@lemmy.world 1 day 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 18 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.

Maybe they just hate the painting and want to cover it in oil,.smoke, food, and fire
RebekahWSD@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I didn’t mind it until I saw the painting and now I’m just scared of it!
TomMasz@piefed.social 2 days ago
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

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

I had it. Needs a fatigue mat.
expr@programming.dev 20 hours ago
Also some kind of ventilation.
And the painting would get fucked up pretty quickly in general.
Cort@lemmy.world 18 hours ago
One good grease fire and it’ll catch the painting on fire too.
fubarx@lemmy.world 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.

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

I should get some spoons with speed holes
Klear@lemmy.world 2 days ago
These are super useful if you hate soup.
Vrijgezelopkamers@lemmy.world 2 days ago
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.

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??

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

Forget them hanging a picture above their stove. What’s worse is that they didn’t even centre it.
moseschrute@lemmy.ml 2 days ago
Like vertically?
accideath@feddit.org 2 days ago
Horizontally. The picture is not perfectly centred above the stove. Needs to be moved a little bit to the right.
DavidGarcia@feddit.nl 2 days 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.

If they like blue they should have gone with some delft tile or something
