▲ 152 ▼ What skills did almost everybody have 50 years ago, but few people have today? (slrpnk.net) submitted 7 months ago by SolarBoy@slrpnk.net to c/asklemmy@lemmy.world 239 comments fedilink hide all child comments I suppose it would be mostly practical skills, cooking, fixing things. Usually had to be done by people themselves. Maybe also mental things like navigating (with or without paper map) and remembering their daily and weekly agendas. What other things would be a big difference with the people today?

Some cursive is illegible, others is totally fine. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] klymilark@herbicide.fallcounty.omg.lol 16 points 7 months ago (1 child) I mean, some non-cursive is totally illegible. My print is pretty bad, but my cursive is fine permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SolarBoy@slrpnk.net [S] 5 points 7 months ago That's true. I learned cursive first, but never really properly. Then learned print instead. Now my writing is a mashup of cursive and print, with the same letter in a single sentence sometimes using different writing styles. Great! permalink fedilink source parent
