>>509342698 (OP)Feels like shit to be honest as an adult.
>Why dont they learn? I'm just too worried about negative outcomes of me tampering with stuff since I'm not well off.
>>509353802This is how most "real men" in this thread learned their "real man knowledge" unfortunately.
I was blessed with a drunk fucker as a father that beat the shit out of me for my first decade of life and never imparted me any knowledge despite being the generic know-it-all handyman electrician.
After trying to kill my mother once they divorced so there goes that.
I think a lot of people who failed to acquire this type of knowledge fall into this category. Unless your father/grandfather taught you, where did you have the opportunity to learn this?
I reckon some anons will reply that they learned themselves as an adult, but they are the rare exception.
I can repair/troubleshoot computers to a decent extent, because I had access to them and had to fix them myself as a kid I guess.
That's about it.
Keep in mind you need the space and the tools to do most things as well. Modern lives are not very conducive to this type of shit anymore.
