Electric pollutes less. Electric induction has a faster response. Electric is more energy efficient. Electric doesn't require a separate line and utility run to the house. Electric boils water faster. Electric produces less greenhouse gasses.

I mean, there's subjectively better ("I prefer to cook with it") but there are objectively better traits too.

Ok, I'm imagining it. Now what?

Oh wait, were you trying to say that forced divorce and remarriage is the same thing as "this other type of cooking tool should be used instead of the one you are familiar with"?

Hahahaha

Yeah I’m not sure. Maybe it’s better if someone with more empathy imagines it

Stoves are just machines, they don't have feelings nor do they have a self preservation instinct.
