How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler

It’s basically a book on how to DIY various technologies

Except unlike emails who are the ones who are reaching out to you, you’re the one who would have to engage with the youtube accounts. And reading is faster than watching.

It’s rather annoying watching a video with an interesting premise from a channel that seems to have a lot of engagement and subscribers until you notice several minutes in that the content is full of filler and is generally just a waste of time, and of course when you check the channel is full of mass-generated videos. If there was a list we could just quickly check if something is already confirmed to be AI using the Find function rather than wasting time finding if it’s legit or not. Even if the list is just those of the well-known ones who you are more likely to come across.

If there was such a project I would gladly contribute.

Why not try?

(Edit: Also why are people downvoting me when I’m not off-topic? 🤨)

I prefer Epubs, I use Eboox on Android. I personally like digital because there are times I have to stand on a bus and I can just read it with one hand as I use the other to hold on to the handgrips. Btw it can turn pages using volume keys. Also, they are inconspicuous if you’re a person like me who might read books that some conservative people may raise eyebrows on.

From what I remember, in order

Watching my mother cook

Begging my mother to allow me to handle a knife to cut vegetables or stir food. Also she taught me to crack/open eggs near the frying pan so it won’t “break”

Getting into a Technology and Livelihood Cooking Class, the thing I remember that I haven’t learned outside of that class is learning how to properly hold a knife and sharpen it, the various vegetable cuts and the effects of cuts on flavour, and using a toothpick to hold the shape of rolls

Reading a book called “Salt, Fat, Acid and Heat” as essential components of flavor. Helped me to stop making bland food lol because I used to be conservative with salt and fat and was making food that only tasted good to myself

Watching youtube videos of recipes and how to do stuff. The youtube videos helped me a lot
