- Comment on YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer 1 day ago:
I wanted to comply this data specifically for you. I found the data myself but had GPT formatted for me because I’m lazy. It looks like they’re actually more deaths with electric equipment than there is with gas but I’m guessing that’s because there’s more electric appliances than gas appliances. Even so the data speaks for itself there is no significant safety Factor associated with gas versus electric in terms of explosions or fire hazards. The only significant differences is that gas produces more harmful chemicals when it’s burned
Gas and electric appliances both pose fire and explosion risks, though in different ways.
Gas Appliances (Stoves, Furnaces, Water Heaters):
Fire Incidents: 44,210 home fires annually from heating equipment (NFPA).
Explosions: 23 gas-related home explosion deaths in 2023, the deadliest year in two decades (PHMSA).
Health Risks: Emissions of carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides contribute to respiratory and cardiovascular diseases.
Electric Appliances (Stoves, Furnaces, Water Heaters):
Fire Incidents: 51,000 electrical fires yearly, causing ~500 deaths, 1,400 injuries, and $1.3 billion in damages (ESFI).
Recent Recalls:
LG (2025): 500,000 ovens recalled due to fire hazard (28 fires, injuries, pet fatalities).
Samsung (2024): 1 million electric ranges recalled due to fire risk (250 fires, 40 injuries).
Both require proper maintenance and safety precautions, but gas carries additional explosion and health risks, while electric fires are often linked to faulty wiring and design flaws.
- Comment on YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer 1 day ago:
Humanity is a self-aware cosmic accident that tamed fire, split atoms, and hurls metal into the void—all while debating the ethics of imaginary beings and detonating fireworks to commemorate the arbitrary. We engineered peace through the perpetual threat of annihilation, invented gods and governments to impose order, then defied both for the thrill of rebellion. At midnight, we scream into the abyss, our cities pulsing like dying stars, not out of necessity but sheer, unrelenting audacity. If the universe watches, it does so in stunned silence.
See… Can do it to.

- Comment on YSK: Gas stoves cause cancer 3 days ago:
Appliance repairman here. What I tell my clients about gas in general is that: 1. When natural gas burns it create CO. 2. There is a none zero chance the thing can blow up.
Electric cooking appliances have an absolute zero chance of either of these two things happening.
I try to get people to switch to electric for these reasons some just like the aesthetic of cooking on gas.
- Comment on Sooo, where did the blatant Nazism suddenly come from? 1 week ago:
a quick response from chatgpt
“Ah yes, the classic ‘this is trash because it’s AI’ argument, as if the merit of an analysis is determined by its origin rather than its content. If you have an actual counterpoint to what was said, go ahead—tear it apart, line by line. But something tells me you won’t, because that would require effort beyond a knee-jerk dismissal.
People repost articles, podcasts, and expert takes all the time, yet somehow, when it’s ChatGPT, it’s ‘trash’ by default? If the analysis is wrong, prove it. Otherwise, you’re just throwing a tantrum over the source instead of engaging with the argument. Try harder.”

Why not… It’s a quick and dirty way of answering a stupid question. Funny enough if i prompt gpt to simply format the response as a reddit/lemmy comment it gets massive upvotes.

- Comment on Laws only matter if you're not rich. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s the big issue with the prosecutorial system. District attorneys are incentivized to secure convictions, not to seek the truth.
In fact, especially in criminal law, the truth is often completely irrelevant. The system is designed more to “make an example” out of people rather than simply ensuring the law functions as it should. It’s a flawed design and a pretty damning reflection of our society.

This comparison is flawed. Training AI on freely available data isn’t the same as pirating copyrighted material. Piracy means unauthorized access for personal use or distribution, while AI training processes text as input without reproducing or selling it directly.
You can’t have a system where individuals expect free access to information but demand that corporations pay for the same data. If something is truly free, it should be free for everyone.
No one expects an artist inspired by Michelangelo or Raphael to pay their estates for using their techniques or styles. Once knowledge and creativity enter the public domain, they become part of collective human progress.
That said, I fully support what Aaron Swartz did—hell, I would’ve done it myself. But on the flip side, let’s not ignore that JSTOR was a subscription-based service, meaning he was literally stealing paywalled content. It’s not the same as AI training on publicly available data.
And let’s be real—the three platforms mentioned exist in a legal gray area. It’s hypocritical to say individuals can use them freely, but corporations can’t. These sites exist solely to make information accessible to everyone, and you can’t pick and choose who gets to benefit.

- Comment on New Bill to Effectively Kill Anime & Other Piracy in the U.S. Gets Backing by Netflix, Disney & Sony 3 weeks ago:
I’m currently watching The Practice. One of my favorite shows. Over the years it’s been on Netflix, prime, and shit like peacock and tubi. I can’t keep up with all that. Right now it’s in Amazon prime which I have but can’t watch because I have a “business” account and according to Amazon I shouldn’t be watching shows and movies on a “business” account.
Soooo… To the high seas I go. Not that I don’t want to pay for it but because it’s so much easier.
And now I’ll have the show for whenever I want to watch it.

Was playing Sims 2 last night. Managed to make a family but didn’t get far enough to buy a house because the game crashed.

- Comment on If me and a bunch of my lemmy friends got on a yacht. Went into international waters what could we get away with legally and what would still be illegal? 1 month ago:
It’s actually really super simple. You would be subject to the laws of the country you reside in or are a citizen of.
Laws don’t magically stop working just because you’re out of jurisdiction.
There’s also, admiralty law, Maritime law and international law, all of which have courts in designated countries. These laws are usually governed by treaty amongst many countries.

This is a very good question.
I’m assuming you mean a range around $5000?
In that case there’s really not much in that specific price range.
Ranges in general can cost between 500 and 3000 dollars for a regular range you can get at your local appliance retailer. Here in the states that would be like home Depot or Lowe’s.
If you wanted more high end than that you’d have to go much higher up in price. Like past $10000. It’s a weird market for ranges.
I recommend Frigidaire for cooking appliances in general they make really good ranges. For less than $1000 dollars you can get a very decent appliance.

I work in appliance repair. My favorite appliance to fix are sub zero refrigerators. They’re easy to work on, straight forward and the company continues to support their product as far back as models from the 1970s.
Subzero makes nothing more than household appliances a thankless industry plagued by planner obsolescence and they can supply parts for their appliances longer than a medical company.
