craziest thing for me is it took the 9 year old 6 hours to figure it out, no offence to the kid but i feel like that's gotta be way behind the curve, further tests are needed i think.
Tbf to the kid, I can't think straight when I'm hungry either. Should have fed her from one can then let her figure out the next for dinner or something
People who are just starting out with shit aren't good at critical thinking. How much experience with tools does she have to go off of when assessing a can opener? Probably not a lot. Couple that with not wanting to know more, and being hungry and who wants to closely inspect a fucking can opener?
Yeah it's terrible. I also can't really imagine what specific situation this is preparing for. If it's for now, the important skill to learn is how to find tutorials on youtube lol. If it's for some "apocalyptic future", it makes more sense to give her a knife........ and then drive her to the hospital if she cuts off her fingers I guess.
Honestly if I was the girl, by the end of the first hour I'd have snuck a phone and called my mom/another relative, sobbing lmao.

She was also, correctly, angry.

To be fair to her, if this is how he teaches her to use a can opener, she probably is really behind in other areas.
I imagine she hasn’t made it very far teaching herself how to read.
Also her dad called her stupid a lot in the tweets and I’m sure she’s internalized that.
Especially in the age of the internet. When I was 9 in the early/mid 2000s, even I knew I could look something up on the internet.
We had dail-up back then, so I was pretty much fucked either way.
It'd only take you 3 hours to learn how to use one rather than 6.
When I was like 12 I couldn't figure out how to open one so i used a knife somehow
