Cute argument. Love it!

I was actually kicked twice by horses when I was a child. Maybe you should pass that information along to the newer generations..

You know, actually teach what you believe should be common sense...

You know, actually teach what you believe should be common sense

...

You completely and utterly missed every point I was making if you still think that's common sense.

Here's an example of common sense in 2024, that's actually relevant to "newer generations" tho:

When someone is that incapable of understanding something, blocking them is better than wasting time repeating yourself.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Again, that's not common sense. There is no such thing as common sense.

You had to be educated to learn to use digital technology in the first place.

But maybe, just maybe you can listen to your own supposed 'common sense', and just drop your argument and go touch some grass or something.

Why do people who are also on the internet always feel like trying to say the other person doesn't go outside is a valid argument it's just as likely you're a basement dwelling virgin who hasn't seen the sun in months as it is he is.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I'm between pit stops right now, elbow deep in grease and about to have to change a starter on a Hyundai.

And I've had more than my share of relationships. Thank you for the insult though.

[–] Spacemanspliff@midwest.social 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

And yet you still find all this time to argue on the internet? Hopefully one day I can be half as successful as you!

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I just finished successfully replacing the starter.

I'm also finished with this comment chain.

[–] Spacemanspliff@midwest.social 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The other guy was finished hours ago, he must be even more successful than you I guess!

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago (3 children)

We just made it like 120 miles back home and replaced the starter under warranty.

This isn't a dick measuring contest, but we made it back home and replaced the starter, under warranty, under my labor..

F off.

I get what you were saying and what the other commenter was saying. You're saying that no knowledge is inherent, all knowledge needs to be learned.

The other commenter was conflating common sense with common knowledge, being knowledge that the majority of people know and can recall (but would still need to be learned at some point from somewhere).

I don't think you are wrong, and I think the other commenter was trying to say that common knowledge changed over time (true). I hope neither of you let it affect your day too badly.

My timeline agrees with this comment 👍

[–] Spacemanspliff@midwest.social 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Would you consider keeping your car maintained common sense?

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

No. That is an educated thing.

[–] Spacemanspliff@midwest.social 2 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Please reach me how to be so successful as to perform car maintenance.

[–] over_clox@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I don't do reach arounds.

Maybe try spelling preach correctly.

[–] Spacemanspliff@midwest.social 3 points 6 months ago

Well there goes my plans for the weekend I guess...

[–] lath@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago

But by creating isolated communities, the common sense will be isolated alongside into clusters of uncommon common senses which will make them not common at all.
