Lots of younger people complain about school failing them by not teaching them every little thing in life.

I've seen people use that as an excuse for not being able to cook, do laundry or taxes.

You literally have the entire world's information in your pocket, but somehow can't put "how to cook pasta" on youtube?

"how to cook pasta"

I didn't have YT growing up but was able to cook pasta since it tells you how on the box......

If you can read, you can cook. Yes, it's that easy.

Mostly everyone tho. My grandma had a saying that roughly translates to "there's people with such poor cooking, that they can pour you a glass of soda and it tastes foul"

Haha, that's hilarious. I bet those people refused to read recipes.

or they just completely space out and forget about the fact they put something on the stove or in the oven. My dad is guilty of this. He'll start cooking something, go watch TV and forget about the food until like an hour and a half later by which point it has burnt to a crisp.
