I had to look up "causes for carbon monoxide inside home" online because I kept being reminded that CO detectors are common in america for personal home use but I could genuinely not think of a single reason why carbon monoxide could form inside someone's living space unless they had a fireplace on at all times and terrible ventilation, but then I remember how non-electric stoves are so common in america and everyone has cars in a garage that is directly connected to the house or whatever and it made sense

#i think i've seen exactly one (1) gas stove in my entire life btw and it was in an old camp site and the stove was ancient #they're just not a thing here #isn't that fucking terrifying?? just. gas leaking out and you're setting it on fire #and they are still being produced! what is the benefit of a gas stove versus an electric stove??? does it consume less energy??#i guess it's less expensive and heats up faster #but. do you really need it to heat up that fast. i think even induction stoves are just a bit too much even if they're convenient as hell #and... you need to buy like. fuel for it. separately. what if you run out of fuel in your stove. doesn't it cost more long-term #are power shortages so common that it's a genuine benefit?? i have a simple electric stove and cheap camping cooking gear if the power goes #and the power has never gone out. granted i do live in an apartment. but still #someone please explain #and don't even get me started on the carpeted floors that require sooo much maintenance to keep clean and a bunch of expensive products
