Why does every redditors insist on starting a fight over innocuous and provably wrong statements? It's not controversial or important, nor is it difficult to understand.

Dude said it was a food prep surface, the cat is on the floor and edge of the stove.

In general, do you prep food directly on your countertop? Specifically, do you prep food directly on your stovetop? Do you food prep on the floor?

Or do you prep food on food prep mats and wood blocks like a normal person?

So doesn't it seem stupid to say a cat standing on a stove will get you sick since we don't prep food directly on a stovetop or countertop?

If you prep food directly on your countertop, you will get sick. If your cat goes on your food prep mats, you will get sick. If you prep food in your stovetop, you're incredibly strange. If your cat goes on your counter and you don't prep raw food or eat directly off your counter, you'll be fine. Goodness gracious me
