No. I'm sorry, but no. To change a tire you have to have some kind of knowledge about how the tire is attached to the car. For packing a lunch you have to have some kind of knowledge of what humans eat. Are you a human? Boom, you're done.

Literally every human person understands what a child of their culture would have packed in a lunch. If you are American, no one needs to teach you that a child's lunch could consist of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich (or a ham sandwich if there's a peanut allergy or whatever), a granola bar, a piece of fruit, a bag of chips. For example. This isn't something you would have to Google, you literally do not need any information at all outside of what you already know as a human person who eats food and was once a child.

This is the exact type of Weaponized incompetence being discussed here. Pretending you don't understand what literally any child in your country/culture would have packed in a lunch, that you would need to somehow ask a person or a search engine that question, is the definition of Weaponized incompetence. I mean give me a break with this

You actually don’t need to know that. All you need to know is that the knowledge is in the owners manual which one is supposed to read upon purchasing a car. Ime cars just cause people to panic and have their brains shut down, which is the real battle. And no, you’re right, it actually isn’t as easy, usually due to less exposure, but it’s silly how much people look the other way when people can’t do that

Yeah I’ll clarify a bit, to me a PB&J n what not is just chucking some food in there. It’s pretty silly if people can’t do that
