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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
That term doesn't include healthy, "normal" imbalances, though, and I didn't want to nonchalantly vilify the neurodivergent — much less perpetuate related stigmas. 🥲🤌🏼
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.
I don’t think the perspective matters that much because that black rim at the back is at roughly the same depth as the picture so you only have to compare it to that. Only your red lines matter and they prove, that there’s a bit of space to the right while there isn’t to the left.
I mean no glass on the oven door is a little bit inconvenient and there is no visible range hood (you can have them built into the range itself), 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.
Now THAT’s oil painting !
Oh sure, hang an oil painting right above a woodstove. What could go wrong?
Sadly that's not a woodstove, that would be too good.

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.
Maybe they just hate the painting and want to cover it in oil, smoke, food, and fire
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.
Lol ovens like this existed.
My parents literally have one of them right now in their kitchen.
They are less than ideal for sure.

I didn't mind it until I saw the painting and now I'm just scared of it!
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.
"Do we like this?"
That's the biggest cant-think-for-myself red flag I've ever heard.
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.
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 🚩
blatant venomophobia
Surely everyone understands a real painting can't take the heat.
It's obviously an OLED TV.
These Samsung wallpaper tvs have gotten really realistic
First used by Disney in the various theme parks. Then about 10 years later they became available to the general public.
Can't wait for the addition of spaghetti sauce splatters. And the house fire.
They'll have a unique Pollock inspired piece in no time.
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.
Definitely nobody has ever used a frying pan on this stove.
An overly tidy house is often a sign of imbalance, ahem. 😜
What does a cronically untidy house say, oh wise one?
depression
Could be ADHD or anxiety too. Possibly OCD as well.
I guess my point is that 'mental illness' is more succinct.
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.
So I got depression, adhd, anxiety and ocd. Thank you, internet strangers!
That term doesn't include healthy, "normal" imbalances, though, and I didn't want to nonchalantly vilify the neurodivergent — much less perpetuate related stigmas. 🥲🤌🏼
Nah, I'm just lazy.
What happened to the old fashioned "you're a slob/slacker"?
Why does everything needs to automatically point to some sort of affliction? That is worrisome.
Worrying over internet comments is a sure sign of anxiety, possibly OCD, maybe even PTSD if there’s a particular trigger.
Oh, you sound healthy AF.
Thank you?
what kind of imbalance do you mean?
Says the person who is on lemmy + db0
(Not meant to be mean)
You can't even make a personal attack thematically relevant? Eesh. You might wanna look into strengthening your Delete Draft reflex a bit more...

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??

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
These are super useful if you hate soup.
They're amazing for cooking soup! How do you stir??
With this, why do you ask?
Looks like I stirred some shit with my comment.
Please don't do that with an electric whisk! At least, not in my house.
Yes officer, this comment right here
I don’t understand the problem here. I don’t really cook, but I bet this adds a really nice texture and creates a really homogeneous soup.
If you want a homogenous soup use
And what if you dont want a homogenous soup, but one with nice big chunks of potatoe, carrots or whatever?
Listen maybe some people can’t afford both kitchen appliances. Obviously you’re gonna lick the one you make make whipped cream with. Obviously.
Look I have the diet of a picky 10-year-old. No 3D vegetable is allowed in my soup.
Speed holes for spankin'
Now that's a paddlin
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.
It’s AI slop.
Forget them hanging a picture above their stove. What’s worse is that they didn’t even centre it.
Like vertically?
Horizontally. The picture is not perfectly centred above the stove. Needs to be moved a little bit to the right.
Ooo maybe it is, though i feel like camera perspective can do weird things, depending on how this was shot
I don’t think the perspective matters that much because that black rim at the back is at roughly the same depth as the picture so you only have to compare it to that. Only your red lines matter and they prove, that there’s a bit of space to the right while there isn’t to the left.
Yeah you’re right. I would also be lying if I said I’d hung a picture more precisely than this. But that’s a different argument.
Yar, nor do they sail the seven seas!
I hate it. Needs a fatigue mat.
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.
I mean no glass on the oven door is a little bit inconvenient and there is no visible range hood (you can have them built into the range itself), 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 mean you just pointed it out.
In 2025 everything is a meme.
That painting is gonna be covered in tomato sauce splatter and oil
