There’s a book called How to Invent Everything: A Survival Guide for the Stranded Time Traveler that covers this stuff. Don’t think it’s comprehensive enough to actually invent everything from scratch, but still a fun read.

It’s because a lot of boomers think everything they see on the internet is sent personally to them. Took me years (literal years) to explain to my mom that someone’s Facebook status was not that person sending her a message.

Most don’t even realize the product questions are automated. They think amazon is personally asking them so they feel obliged to respond, even if they don’t know the answer.

My parents haven’t smoked since the 80s but always go on and on about how much better old weed was compared to modern dispensary stuff 🤣
