Took me a while to realize that this is actually a real life superpower, but - I can fix things. Throw it away? Meh... Repairing, upcycling? Bring it on!

Me too! The older I get the more I find fixing things is not as common as I thought. Just the other day I was at a friend's place and they were struggling opening a window. Five minutes later it was fixed. The sash spring fell off, super simple fix. They were cursing at it for months without any effort to figure it out, but that's most people it seems.

This yes! Also being able to do something after watching someone do it is a good skill?

[โ€“] feinstruktur@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Of course! That just show's that you're very good at extracting information of other's explanations and are able to understand the nature of things. Very valuable!

I just suck at learning things from books or other forms of text though
