    Never seen a stove with knobs on the front outside of restaurant kitchens. I’ve been in many houses of varying wealth levels, and never seen that unless in a residential kitchen.

      This is regional thing. In Europe it is in front, which is of course superior. /s

        American here and I agree. They even do trucks smarter. The boxy version makes it so much easier to judge spaces and distances down over the hood.

        But of course, we have to be stubborn and ignorant, because we measure things in feet and fingers and spider legs and bags of salt.

          If it’s really big they always say how much of a Texas it is. As if anyone really has a good grasp of how big Texas actually is. After all even if you live there it’s literally impossible to see all of it at the same time.

          People are just bad at scale in general, even for objects we obstensively know about, it’s just better to give the actual numbers in my opinion, like, off the top of your head without looking any of it up, is the Eiffel Tower bigger or smaller than the Empire State Building. And what is the difference, are we talking closer to 30 ft or 200 ft?
