I feel like the people I interact with irl don't even know how to boot from a USB. People here probably know how to do some form of coding or at least navigate a directory through the command line. Stg I would bet money on the average person not even being able to create a Lemmy account without assistance.

I've had someone I o kw mention this and it's true for me also. We underestimate our own skills and over estimate the general others.

    One time my dad said he thought direct current was the future and alternating current was soon to be replaced. I legit heard dial up sounds in my head.

    I think my dad's quite smart so that one was a little bit of a shock. We had a quick convo and both came away with a better understanding.
