i think it’s really amazing how total strangers who have nothing in common but their shared love of a work of fiction will come together across distances and dedicate their time and energy working collaboratively to build an extensive, richly detailed fanon that completely fucking sucks
you guys are so committed to being bad at interpreting things you’ll just straight up decide this post means the opposite of what i wrote and reblog it anyway
technology connections has a few videos on this, gas stoves are incredibly inefficient and put out so much carbon monoxide. Cheap coil electric stoves suck but still work better than gas and induction stoves are the most efficient and also safe of all. literally thermodynamically electric is better idk how so many people are wrong about this.
The primary argument I’d levee against electric stoves, acknowledging that on an objective level they are the better technology in terms of efficiency and lack of gas that kills you emissions (I voted yes-electric and am only arguing from the position of a devil’s advocate trying to prevent the canonization of the electric stove), is that they do not have any fucking haptic feedback. You turn them on and they get hot and that’s it.
But, with a gas stove, it’s different. You turn it on and the gas hisses, the stove clicks, there’s an igition and sudden and immediate heat with a fwooosh, then the constant hiss as gas escapes the burner and combusts, and the smell of whatever sulfides they put in the gas burning is nice. You know when a gas stove is on, you can hear it and feel it in a way you can’t with most electric stoves.
Electric stoves are better by the metrics, but for many humans (judging solely by this poll, most humans) they don’t feel better to use. This is a recurring and well known problem when designing things for human use. Electric kettles don’t whistle (bad); most vacuum cleaners are obnoxiously loud so the human using it ‘knows its sucking,’ electric cars are too quiet it unsettling for a lot of people; players in fighting games will use moves with worse frame data if the move has that 'punch factor.’
Gas stoves are worse, don’t get me wrong. But sometimes, worse things feel better to use.
Gas stoves are also very quick to adjust the heat on compared to electric
Can we not group resistive electric and induction electric? Induction users seem to think it’s a very different experience. (I use resistive, it’s nothing to write home about but it’s not horrible either.)
I’ve never used a coil electric stove that didn’t suck, what are you people on about. I don’t care how “efficient” it is, I care about the experience of using it, and the experience of using a coil electric stove includes the coils always being crooked so the pan doesn’t sit flat and it sets off the smoke alarms all the damn time if anything gets on the coil
induction sucks less but it still sucks; we had an induction burner at one of my old jobs and it produced a constant high-pitched whine when turned on
I think this sort of head-to-head comparison isn’t that useful bc the relative virtues are so distinct. gas stoves are unambguously, categorically better for cooking, and I think it’s pretty hopeless to argue otherwise. the arguments against them are mostly about how this doesn’t outweigh other drawbacks unrelated to their value as cooking ranges!
while there are real ecological issues relating to leaks or waste of fuel gas, the main mark against gas seems to just be that unless you have a restaurant-quality range hood it causes serious health effects that you won’t notice; my understanding is that the health effect is small enough to not be obvious individually but large enough to have a big impact statistically. so it’s sort of in the same domain as “this product is better but gives you cancer”, it’s an uneasy sort of tradeoff where ideally you’d like to find a substitute that works the same way but doesn’t have the same problems,
I haven’t used induction, but from what I’ve heard it sounds like a cool technology but a pretty poor cousin to gas despite offering the strong, rapid heating that resistive coils lack – pretty fussy and impractical on the whole, and less tolerant of warping even than radiant coil stoves. If there’s ever an outright residential gas ban – arguably justified on environmental or public-safety grounds, though I can’t imagine it happening in most places – it might see some converts but I feel like the lack of takeup in what’s now a very mature technology speaks to the problems with it.
No. Bc. You removed the design element that makes it an adirondack… ?
Everyone’s like sucking his dick in the comments like oh wow you made it disability friendly like well no he didn’t he made a normal chair. He didn’t innovate say like a spring loaded Adirondack that raises and lowers to meet the user so they can get up and down easily. He just made a normal more versatile chair which fine. But he didn’t actually improve or innovate an Adirondack chair he just made a dif chair…..
Grabbing people by their shoulders and shaking them until they can prove to me they know what “twink” means
I was listening to a bunch of LGBT+ ppl from Louisiana as a guest for a podcast and the topic of “twink” came up and they more or less were like, “yeah nowadays cishet ppl know saying ‘f*g’ raises eyebrows so they just say 'twink’ when they want to say 'f*g’ but it’s obvious what they want to say when they say the word,” and like, that’s basically it, right. Also they talked about lubed up jockstrap wrestling at a gay bar and how there was a cishet guy that participated because he just wanted to wrestle.
Nodding thoughtfully at this until you say “lubed up jockstrap wrestling” at which point I get so horny I think I hauve Covid
“I want to be sexy, I want to be seen and looked at. I think that transmasculine people are the most beautiful and sexy people in the world. Erotic vision is a part of our existence that should not be ignored, because it brings joy, awareness and happiness. Self-love is at the heart of my artistic interest. I’ve been taking testosterone for 4 years, I love to see how my body has changed and how my desire has transformed along with it. At the moment I’m not interested in top surgery or any other reassignment surgery. I love my body like never before, and I think showing it is an immense act of love, for the community and for myself. with this submission I want to remind that there is no one way to be a transmasc person, and to remind all the transmasc people out there that our body is perfect in every way, as long as we like it that way. We are free to love ourselves and feel sexy in every way. ”
