      I honestly want to smash my stupid fucking stove top with it’s bullshit touch buttons that decide to activate when I happen to move a hot pan across them. I would smash it if I wasn’t renting.

      Oh god. New stoves don’t have knobs? Are they touchscreens now too? I will pretend I did not just read that information and be a ‘old man yells at cloud’ when the time comes to buy a new stove.

        Our electric cooking plate is touch only, and our oven has touch buttons in combination with physical dials for temperature/timers.
