▲ 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?

I was thinking more of the what to make of your life, family and mental health problems solving though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] MehBlah@lemmy.world 1 point 7 months ago (1 child) I don't know if you are asking a question about my life choices but I see a therapist regularly. My children answer the phone when I call and when something breaks people come to me for a fix. I'm fine, better than most. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] angrystego@lemmy.world 1 point 6 months ago Oh, I meant it in general, wasn't talking about you specifically, I can see how my use of "you" could lead to confusion though.
