    Why do people act like not using a gas powered stove is akin to stripping away some fundamental right?

    I grew up in a part of the world where electric stoves are the vast vast majority and have been since the introduction of electricity. We cook just fine. Chill.

    Wanna know where this cruel, backwards part of the world is? It’s fucking Tennessee.

      Because change is bad.

      I’m not (just) being snarky. People get defensive when something important to them changes, even if the change is for the better.

      And food, and cooking food, is extremely important to most people.
