Can’t a man just love stove?
- with extreme caution? yes, hopefully. but still a good chance of no

I know it's off topic but the stove design looks really weird to me. Why would you design a stove with all the knobs at the very back where they are hard to reach?
- Only reason I can think is to prevent kids from touching them
  
  100%. Electric ranges tend to have a lot of safety features built in and/or come with them. They also come with a clamp for the leg of the stove to be slid into so if a child were to climb on the door it wouldn't tip over.
  
  And pets. I've got two fur monsters that like to jump on things when we're not around to correct, no matter how many times we've taught them not to. They won't do it when we're home, but as soon as we're away, counter surfing is the rule of the day, and with front-of-oven knobs on a gas stove we have come home multiple times to a small gas leak. We've taken to removing the knobs when it's not in use, which is fine but annoying. I'd much prefer back-of-oven knobs though.
  
  Or butts at a crowded party.
- Every electric stove I've used in my 30 years of life in Canada has had the knobs at the back.
- They're not hard to reach for a normal sized adult.
  
  But you're reaching over the hot parts. It's way more normal to have them at the front edge in front of the hot bits
- It's common in America, especially with electric stoves. All gas stoves I've seen use the front, though.
  
  This is what I was wondering. (Gas vs Electric) Wires are easy and cheap to route vs gas lines.
- So small children can't reach them.
  
  I have not seen a electric convection stove in 10 years. Aren't they all induction these days?
  
  And my plate top have the controls digitally/touch sensitive area on the top itself
  
  So gas is 100% for kids to play, but not electric? Ok.
- What, you don't like your arm being incinerated when you go to turn the heat off?
  
  What's wrong with you, that's the best bit.
  
  It's induction and unless you are dragging your arm across the top the likelihood of burning yourself is nil.
- To burn your arms of course!
- That's the standard location of stove/oven knobs.
  
  This is a safety feature. US homes use gas in some of thier stove tops and there have been cases where toddlers have turned knobs to release gas into the house and there have been fires associated with pets and toddlers bumping into the knobs.
- Glad it's not just me, I've always thought this too. Surely you have to put your arms over the hot stuff?
- To make them harder to reach so that you (or a child) don't accidentally turn one of the burners on when you don't intend to use it.
- I've used both. Think it's more a style choice than anything.
- It looks a bit old fashioned tbh. In Norway it's all separate tops and ovens. All the tops are induction and the controls are mostly touch sensitive areas on the top itself.
Imagine your kid posting silly pictures of your face on the internet, probably without consent.

- whats a good android app for this?
  
  want to use it to door dash
NGL I plan to be this kind of dad.

I think it's funny when my kids get a bit embarrassed at my inability to do something. My kids are almost getting to that age where I can amp the cringe to technology.
That man did not stop trying.

He leaned in and is killin' it.
- Classic case of, “I’m not giving up, I’m giving in.”
That’s frickin hilarious lol. I put in a new stove last year and wish I would’ve done this ngl lol
TIL that phones do that thing.
how do u get a heart front cam feature
- Inquiring minds...

  Maybe?
So drive to your dad, and show him how to turn it off.
I haven't laughed this hard at a post in a long time
I think I have the same stove
...oh, somebody tell me how to turn this on so i can use it for my punch list next week!..
Save those pictures, one day you will look back on them and they will bring you peace.

"Stove my beloved" - him probably
