I guess about everyone (kids/teens) know how to tie their shoes, but something I saw in the last 10 years or so, kids, especially in big towns, does not how to ride a bike. I've seen teens who never rode a bike and don't know how.

Damn, really?

I almost wanted to comment about how cursive writing is getting lost these days instead, but damn, bicycles?!

Tom Scott only learned to ride a bicycle two years ago: https://youtu.be/P7GKK3liv8M

I was so surprised by that video. Of all people on earth, i for sure didn‘t think TOM doesn‘t know how to ride a bycicle.

LOL, I actually learned how to read analog clocks at age 9, by myself, just by watching the hands tick for like 5 minutes.

Still though, even that isn't common sense, I had to refer to prior education to know to associate the position of the hands with the hours, minutes and seconds numbers I had previously been taught.

Oh, yeah... I forgot about the common sense part. I was just thinking about changing skills.

I just figured out that nobody gives a flying fuck.

Matter of fact, how many ducks does it take to fuck a flying duck?
