The thing that makes me mad abt this is implying that chips like that can just snap in and out.
DongleBelongsToDingus
As a non American, I don't know why there are so many references to the GOP and stoves now, and I am too afraid (and embarrassed) to ask.

Gotta say, it would be really cool to not be a target for a while.
foreigntrolldetector
I once told a family member who was foaming at the mouth that fox news makes them addicted to anger. they suddenly changed their demeanor
foreigntrolldetector
“I’m not angry” they said in a cool calm voice. fucking sheep. so easily manipulated.

Matt Walsh is so fucking stupid I have difficulty comprehending how stupid he is, and yet seems to be capable of functioning in society?

That movie was so funny because it was literally an hour of Walsh getting answers he didn't want.

eww gross you watched it?
MarkSoupial
If it's any consolation, I did not pay to see it

Can we build more power plants first? I'm not opposed to it, I just don't think the grid can handle it.
ThisGuyHere
It's like they googled gas vs electric and decided to get mad about whatever popped up.
LordProudspire
I feel obligated to say that if those chips clicked in it would make everything about them so much easier

We've struggled as a species for thousands of years to define 'what is a man', and these incel fuckers think they got it on lock.
FiveShiftOne
Truly disgusting that that movie has like a 9-star rating on IMDB. The only people who watch and review it are of course... transphobes.
SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem
It really pisses me off is hearing right wing bigots try to use "science" to back up this stuff. They don't know wtf they're talking about.
SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem
They're literally wrong, and/or making things up. My degree is in bio and it's fun telling them what the science actually says.

Fox has told them the next thing they should be angry about and dammit they are going to be angry about it!
Lobo82
Republicans only have a few arguments they use. Woke ideology, border crisis and Hunter Biden's laptop to name some. Its pathetic.
GlenL
The conservatives have gotten way too literal with their gas lighting

Incredibly underrated comment.

I fucking wish it was that easy to get conservatives to stop harassing us. I'm very willing to fan the flames of this dumb stove controversy

What's up with gas stoves?
waitwuh
Some study said fumes and common leaks are linked to asthma. Somehow it’s been reinterpreted that the government will take your stove away.
MostlyWhelmed
Confuse them. Tell them you have a gas stove, and grill on charcoal.
CircmcisionIsRape
Tumescentpie
It is just another loyalty test in their fascist cult. They haven't stopped othering people. Libsoftiktok is still doing stochastic terror
RPCharImages
Wait, what? What are they angry at now?
Klpincoyo
I will make an angry video while using my gas stove to distract the GQP to save the trans folk. I'll hide my tattoos so I don't confuse them
Crawmak
Fan the flames of... a gas stove?
Cheomesh
Blow out the pilot light I guess.
NeoDarkElf
Gaslight?

that's a wrong metaphor: their brain is more like a jukebox were you constantly add new fake outrage, they eventually cycle back to old shit

It's getting to that point where people talk like they've never been smacked in the foxing mouth.
Bricklemeyer
That's often because the foxing mouth is a risky spot to smack. Good chance of losing your hand that way, what with all the teeth.
AriBoBari
There’s a great Puscifer song about exactly this

Yes but how do we punch idiots in the mouth and stop bullys from doing it to nerds.

Teach the nerds how to punch properly.

That's ok. We have the remedy.

Ooooh I get that reference. Actually a wicked song

Racists too have gotten way more bold over the years and it's time to make them afraid again.

It's because ppl stopped punching them in the foxing mouth.
ILiekToCookAndBake
I was Flippin through reels earlier, the uncle ruckus song came on one and I giggled at it. My Hispanic coworker was mad at me for the rest
ILiekToCookAndBake
Of the day because he overheard it, didn't know he was nearby. I get its horrifically racist, but dammit don't be mad at me over it
11Weasel11
You can make up for this little mistake by smacking an actual racist in the face.

Let's just tell them liberals don't want 'em turning on the gas without lighting it because it cures COVID. We could be done so much faster.

I know what it is, mate. What’s the hysteria about.
SpiceWeasel0x83
O, there's new science data that shows gas stoves release a lot of bad shit in the air, even when not on or something? Maybe links to asthma
SpiceWeasel0x83
So morons think that the goverment is going to take their stoves away

carl sagan predicted all of this in his last book Billions and Billions.

they are just constantly on alert for something to trigger them
SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem
I'm guessing oil&gas corps gave marching orders to right wing politicians & pundits, who then feed a narrative to outrage their followers.
nojustsayitdont
There was a video of a redneck 'Rolling Coal' and literally standing in the exhaust stream inhaling fumes, to 'own the libs'.

I wonder, just how big is the percentage of US people not aligning with either side?
SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem
A lot of people align with one *generally* (keyword), but are too ignorant of politics to realize it and think they're above such things.

ImmaCatImmaSexyCat
He asks a gender studies prof in the "documentary." They fade-cut over his answer to make a whole "this is really long and boring" joke.
INeverWaitForIt
They want a short answer to a complex question so their dumb asses can understand it. Actually, no, they *say* they want a short answer but
INeverWaitForIt
they've already made up their minds and just want ammunition to be further outraged. That's why you can never really trust what they say

because they're not functioning in good faith.

behold! A rhetoric we can get behind
PleasantPeasantPheasant
As a cis woman I really don't know how to answer that question either...
darkdragonempress
There’s definitely answers. But they are going to be long and filled with so many caveats. Hell even if we aren’t getting into things like 1
darkdragonempress
Gender expression and just going straight up biology, it’s still going to be a long explanation with caveats. 2

Why would anybody even want a gas stove ? Modern electronic ones are cheaper and much easier to use.
SuperNintendoEntertainmentSystem
Gas is great for cooking without power as someone from a rural area. But fossil fuels need to fuck off yesterday so electric all the way.
GlenL
For me, it's mostly the part where gas is about 1/4 the price of electricity
ABn0rmal1
Cost for quality. Gas cooks superior to traditional electric and is ridiculously cheaper than quality induction. Also woks.
shyasen
This. Right. Here. Gas is superior for cooking.
Kenbamazingbutprobablywontbe
They do cook a little nicer, but yea not really worth it when induction stove tops are fucking incredible
Daarst
I hate glass top electrics, but I'd love to try out an induction.
BrickShakes
They don't beat the induction, I'm willing to bet money that a blind test can't pick them apart.
Kenbamazingbutprobablywontbe
Very true a good cook will make food taste good regardless
Findrek
Yea induction is great, but standard electric coil ones suck. Even given that once they start handing out rebates like they have with 1/
Findrek
energy rated appliances mines gone so it's not that big. I'll probably still keep a propane burner around for the wok though. 2/2
obviouslyrob
Yeah ten years ago I’d say gas stoves were superior and I cook a LOT. These days induction tops are practically as good and getting better.
BumpusMcPhumpusAngeletes
It stems from an inherent distrust of social systems. “The government could cut my power, and then I can’t cook”
BrickShakes
If they're that paranoid then they probably already have a generator, which isn't a bad idea with state of US's power grid.
BumpusMcPhumpusAngeletes
Nevermind the fact that gas stoves are also run off a utility that can be turned off at the source.
Kenbamazingbutprobablywontbe
You can buy a transfer switch and power your own house if you choose
Tajik
Gas is cheaper, temp change is instant, you can use it even if your electricity goes out (we've had a couple outages last year).
Tajik
That said, ours came with the house. We will switch to induction when we remodel the kitchen.
iusedtodream
These are my reasons, also.
electronicbovine
Many people have large propane tanks, instead
Bukulu
Well, they can buy batteries or solar cells, perceived problem fixed
Crawmak
Can gas stoves run off propane? Is propane even safe to burn indoors?
electronicbovine
Yes, and yes. Just as safe as burning natural gas indoors.
