There are actually people under 65 who just sit down and DO jigsaw puzzles?

      A jigsaw puzzle doesn’t even seem like a puzzle to me. You just pick up pieces and see if they fit. I mean I guess being able to analyze the picture requires some skill but it doesn’t involve complex logic or mechanical thinking.

        Hence why I especially enjoy giant cartography ones, because it forces you to learn geography. That said, no they're not based on "complex logic" or "mechanical thinking", but neither are other hobbies like gaming or watching movies. Not everything needs to be a neoliberal pursuit to "better yourself" and "learn new skills".
