oh and who are you the Rock Wrangler? The Time Tempter? The Henge Handler?

Maybe next time get your 5000 year old facts straight before making a silly internet comment buster

Whoa, whoa, whoa. I have to stop you right there buster. Stonehenge is not "religious nonsense" it is literally a way to keep track of celestial movement and track the solstices. This allowed for ancient peoples to track the change of seasons and properly plan their agricultural activities. It was entirely practical, and very good at its job as it still works today to an extent.

Pretty good at invading in general historically

I know but it's walmart. The attendant is handling 30+ self checkouts and I'm not waiting 10 minutes.

I've walked out of Walmart before over wrong prices. I was just there to look at the camping section and see if they had any deals. There was a cooler on sale for 10$. I go scan it. 30$. I just left it there at the self checkout and went home.

It's so annoying. I'll scan something big and the computer is OUT LOUD saying at me "BAG YOUR ITEM" like NO! I DONT WANT TO!

Self Checkouts are not even self checkout anymore. You go up and scan your stuff then 2 times out of 3 someone has to come over and approve that you scanned everything. At that point just open the normal lanes back up

I think your arguement is kind of silly. Kid's schedules are bloated? With what though? Is it actually valuable? Maybe if they're bloated we should... get rid of the bloat and add in things that would actually help them.

Also, you aren't teaching them what will be useful in a home in 30 years. You are teaching them what will be useful NOW. When they go to college, or get an apartment in a few years. If we didn't teach people things that changed we wouldn't teach SCIENCE! But we do. Because when you have a baseline and things change you can update what you know over time.

On top of that, your argument is self defeating. You are similtaneously saying kids are too busy for a class on this stuff but also saying they should just teach it to themselves in their free time. If they're so busy when do you expect them to do that? The entire point of a class is so that we can MAKE TIME for them to learn this stuff.

I'd say anything that is relatively common and could potentially be dangerous if not maintained properly. You don't need them to be masters of every appliance. Just to be aware of the dangers of the most common ones.

Hey, theyre clearly made for eachother. Good for them tbh.

I genuinely think that you should take a class in highschool that teaches basic life skills like this. 1 class each year. It could cover cooking/nutrition, mental health, chores, financial literacy, First aid basics, etc. Then by the time thye graduate they have had 4 years of teaching about basic stuff like that. I bet it would save tons of lives.
