The Hi and Lo directions on my range’s knobs

I kept burning my food or wait forever for the pan to heat up and I finally understand why. Each knob has a different direction for the Hi and Lo (also why isn’t it Low).

Also seems mildly infuriating to reach across whatever you are cooking to handle the knobs.
I nearly burned myself the other day doing this on my stove. Put the damn knobs down on the front!!!
I can’t decide if I prefer this (my stove is this way) or bumping the knobs with my hips.
My stove has the front knobs, it's gas, and it's been bumped on accidentally more than once and someone else walks into the kitchen and has the horrifying realization that the kitchen smells like gas. I think I prefer the electric stove I had as a kid.
That's why modern gas stoves have safety valves. There's a temp sensor near the burner which automatically shuts the gas off if the burner isn't lit.
That was a choice. We have a young kid who loooves touching buttons and turning knobs.
Well that's fair and relatable. My kid keeps turning on the oven and turning off the dishwasher. Our stove has touch controls on the surface that he hasn't figured out quite yet, but since it's an induction stove it turns off pretty quickly if nothing is on it.
Our dishwasher has buttons on the i side. You need to open the door to control it. Then when you close it it looks clean with no buttons.
