fix a toilet
fix leaky faucet take dryer apart to clean lint (and get it back together) a lot of Spanish a time step to bake onions a lot of history, news, international culture, etc., not to mention miscellaneous info on subjects I wouldn’t have even thought to explore I know DCUM likes to vilify screens, and there is undoubtedly a lot of useless junk, not to mention some truly dangerous content. However, as this thread shows there is also a lot of content that can inform and enrich our lives. Personally, I didn’t care about limiting screentime for my kids, but I considered it just another form of media and judged it by the content they wanted to use on the screens. When my kids were young, Youtube wasn’t a thing (or we would have used it), but we watched a lot of PBS Kids, played educational games, and used a lot of the wonderful websites available. They also had full lives outside of screens, as well. |

Install cabin air filter and air filter in car. I did it for about $50. A dealership charges $150 or more.
It angers me car manufacturers (looking at YOU Chevrolet) make it extremely difficult to change a simple air filter, having to unscrew numerous screws and bolts and for the cabin air filter, pry open side panels to reach more screws and bolts. I should not have to watch videos for what should be a simple task. More and more, I think the Amish ancestors looked into the future and made the right decision. |

I like to watch history/geology videos when we visit a new place and also to listen to musicians from that area. |

I've learned guitar licks, songs, stories, how to pronounce unfamiliar words, geology, history, horse training and dog training tips, auto repair, and I've discovered new-to-me artists, musicians, and comedians.
I like YouTube! |

#3 for in cabin air filter changes.
Also, how to change a flat bike tire. That one was from Wikihow and had mostly text with a few short animations (I also prefer to read rather than watch long videos). |

Funny to see crochet come up so much because that’s exactly what first popped into my head. It’s so much easier to see a stitch demo-ed than to read a description.
Also so good for fitness, hair tutorials, and home repair/renovation! When I was younger I also learned sooooo many makeup techniques from YouTube. |

| So many cooking things: souffles, proper fried rice, empanadas--none of these were part of my home growing up, but I now cook all of these well (so people say.) |
