Dude, every single time I see the delivery fee is half the cost I go, "never mind, I'll just walk 10 minutes to the restaurant." Regardless of weather, time of day, or inebriation. People who pay for delivery are nuts.
Learn to cook first if you don't! I always try to base my meals off of whatever is on sale. Learn some different cuisines, stock up on spices (initially a decent expenditure) go from there. Also, fuck junk food snacks. They're expensive, and they're terrible. Fruits are good if you're needing some sugar. Salads are a great snack. I don't make a giant bowl, just simple few veggies, chop and toss together. I enjoy cooking so it's always fun to see what I can whip up from what's on sale. Prepackaged chopped veggies are more expensive than you picking out your own. Marinated/ pre-spiced meats, same deal. Do it yourself and save the money.
In regards to the daily cooking, for dinner in specific, anything you can throw in the oven is "easy" to me. Baked chicken, oven roasted veggies, potatoes. Toss your things in olive oil, seasonings, and bake away.
Building a small, serviceable shelter is one of those basic skills.
No, you don't have to know building codes and electrical and plumbing ... but you should be able to put together at least a basic shack that one could use to survive in and keep out of the weather.
(I agree with you, but I’m going to be the Devil’s Advocate here, so don’t take it too bad.)
Maybe a while ago it was useful to know how to build shelter like that, but now you can buy a decently insulated tent on Amazon with a stove. So really in the 21st century you don’t need to know explicitly how to build a shack, just how to pitch a tent.
(Although in reality, I agree with you, every human should know how to dig a square hole in the ground, make a hearth with stones and clay and put a roof on it. If the ancient saxons could do it, we can too.)
I can also change a flat tire, check the oil and air pressure, change an air filter in the car AND in the house, do the laundry PROPERLY, make the bed, prune the trees, mow the lawn (even though the HOA takes care of that), change the batteries in anything, I know CPR, I can do taxes and I can clean windows leaving very little streaks.
Honestly most house construction techniques are simple, Its just having the right tools, time and energy to do it. Any minutiae that you come across can be looked up online to clarify.
It wouldn't help with the housing crisis much, though. Knowing how to build a house is relatively easy. Getting permission to build a house is the hard part.
Both in having a plot of land where you're allowed to do it and dealing with all the codes and regulations and permits and shit.
Well, that, and the other hard part is the cost of materials. It's sometimes possible to get stuff for cheap or free, but rarely enough to build a whole house out of, and even if you do find good sources, doing things that way is probably going to be 10x more work.
I’m capable of building a house, and I also cook. What, if anything, do you bring to the table? (In my wifes case, understands humans and will bridge the gap on my autism).
Same here. It's more ADHD and anxiety, I've never been diagnosed with autism, but I have my suspicions. Have built houses and do major construction repairs on my own and regularly cook.
“Well, I look pretty and I post live videos on tiktok where I ‘battle’ other people to see who can make tiktok the most money in a small window of time! Here’s my tits!”
Hahhahaha, this generation is fucked. My adopted- parents made sure I could build a house(I had to work construction to get an Xbox or an iPhone, my parents weren’t buying me that lol), rebuild an engine, cook clean and process animals that I harvested.
Society functions very smoothly when you don’t need to know how to do everything yourself. You specialize in one thing and people come to you for that one thing
Tho cooking in this case is definitely an exception lol
Specialization in advanced skills is great. A basic understanding of a lot of things isn’t that hard to pick up over time though, and IMO is far more important in society.
It’s not hard to change an outlet/switch, but if you need your garage wired up and a new panel you might just want to call an electrician.
It’s not hard to change the oil and air filter on your car, but if the engine needs a rebuild it’s probably best to let the pros do it.
These are the kind of skills I see younger generations losing. The complicated stuff will be taught to the ones who need it & intend to make a profession out of it, just like always. That specialization might decline, like black smithing did in the early 1900’s, but pretty soon these kids are going to end up paying $150 an hour for basic services that they could do in 15-20 minutes themselves. If they think things are unaffordable now just wait until you can’t do anything for yourself.
Every man who owns a house should EVENTUALLY be able to do basic electrical work, yard work, vehicle maintenance, etc (cooking too). It’s a learning process for most of us but keeping the house functional isn’t optional and unless you’re making $200+ per hr, calling someone to fix minor things is a giant misappropriation of funds. There are places that offer basic instruction for home maintenance at no charge.
For real. Seating a new toilet? Yeah call a plumber. Fixing a hissing toilet? Watch some YouTube, make 3 separate trips to the hardware store, waste an afternoon, learn how the thing works, and be a more well rounded person for having put in the effort. And you'll look like a hero when your friend needs help with theirs one day.
This is the way. Also, even though it's awkward, if you do have to call a professional, hover around. It'll likely expedite the diagnostic process next time at the very least.
I've done that several times -- not really a big deal. Just kind of gross sometimes.
Honestly, it's overall simpler to do than diagnosing finicky problems with the internal plumbing of one. Though lifting the toilet may be more physically demanding.
Good for you. And how many other millennials know how to do all that? Does that mean your generation is fucked? How many Gen x know how to do all that? Does that mean their generation is fucked?
i can't build a house, that's why i work hard to pay the one someone else built for me off.
i do however have basic life skills like cooking, tho admittedly I'd be mildly upset if someone asked me if i can cook, since it's such a fundemental skill to have that I'd assume anyone can do it.
I feel like if you can't cook, you don't deserve someone who can build you a house. Maybe she brings other things to the table. Like a nice personality?..jk
Never understood the whole relying on a woman to cook or a man to do something else. I cook. I love to eat so i had to learn to cook. Anyone can learn to do anything.
Relying on people is one thing. Expectation is another. There is too much “qualifying” going on in dating these days. You gotta check these boxes. I have to check those boxes.
If people would just spend time together instead of “interviewing” potential candidates they would realize everyone is flawed but we find someone who we love and loves us and make it work.
Let her starve. We all have to eat so being able to cook food is a basic requirement for everyone,unless you are going to be eating ordered food all the time but that can get very expensive.
Tbh, building a house isnt that difficult. Its the quality of the building that matters. Much like cooking, can she probably cook? Sure, but can she make a gourmet meal?
If I needed to build a house, I would learn how to do it from someone who can. If she needed to learn how to cook, she would sit on her ass and bitch about it.
I don’t understand how people don’t know how to cook at least four dishes. Everyone should know how to have sex and cook. Cooking cause you’re always going to eat and sex cause ideally you’ll get to do it with a partner and you don’t want to let em down. Also I think everyone should know how to throw a punch, cause eventually you’re going to want to pop somebody in the nose.
As a guy, I can cook. Nothing wrong with knowing how to take care of yourself. Maybe he was just asking in case she only knows cursed tik tok recipes so he can know if he's going to be the only one allowed in the kitchen or not. Because I would be upset if I was brought soggy lays potato chips passed of as mashed potatoes and not let her cook again.
If given enough time and money (or at least the materials and tools,) I'm pretty confident in my abilities to build a house.
It wouldn't be a great house, but a house nonetheless.
Cooking on the other hand is literally reading directions.
People who "can't cook" worry me because if they can't follow the most simple directions, laid out in order of what to do, I feel like there isn't much they CAN do
I know how to build a house, and I still cook do the dishes and clean the toilet. Cooking is such a bullshit task to have to do everyday, doing it with a partner makes it so much more fun
Funny story. My friend's dad built his home using his son and his friends as general labor (we were roughly 15-17 at the time). While we didn't do all the intricate electrical work or plumbing, we were helping to build the frame, install flooring, install the roof, etc. Sure, we didn't "build the house" but we were definitely a part of the process.
When this question was asked of my friend ("Can you build a house?) he just said "Yes." and pulled out his phone with photos of all the work we did.
With instructions, yes I think I could build a house. Without instruction, I could still give it a good effort but I won't guarantee it'll be safe to live in.
I can build a simple house, just need all the materials, don’t expect any electrical work in that house though, I am not proficient in electrical works, also it would take a month or more to finish
It would be funny, because I can.
Never did the whole family house though, it's a bit too much, but separated operations from bricklaying and roof building to interior montage and texturing were here.
She’s so dumb, a very small percentage of men can properly build a house, yet a lot more men can cook. It’s crazy the lengths some people will go to justify their laziness.
I can cook because I like to eat food and not be hungry all of the time. I am shocked if someone cannot make basic meals for themselves based on what they have laying around their pantry that week.
What about if he left to hangout with guys then he decided to send pics of all the food they just cooked while she’s sitting there wishing she could send food pics too
I mean, if neither person are able to cook, then maybe they shouldn't be together... though, both failing to achieve such a basic life skill does give them something they have in common.
I can cook, and have no problem cooking in a relationship, but guess maybe I should ask that question of a potential partner just so I don't feel like I'm someone's father.
I was a house carpenter for 3 years, and on one project I was hired by the company owner to help him build his own cabin. It was always just either me and him, or towards the end just me and another guy, so I actually can build a house entirely from the ground up. I can build the forms, run conduits and plumbing, finish the pad (although I kinda suck at that and the plumbing), mark out the walls, build and stand them, all the way to finishing the sheetrock, painting, and adding the trim.
All women should know how to cook.
All men should know how to cook.
It is a basic life skill, everyone should know how to make a simple meal from basic easily available resources.
Same for all other basic life skills that are bound to come up sooner or later. If you don't know how to do laundry, clean the toilet or fix a clogged drain, get your ass up and learn.
I get the idea of the meme, basic life skill vs job of specialized workers, but it's less so about cooking and building houses being comparable and more about misogyny. The truth is, everyone should be able to cook, men and women included, but this woman isn't being stupid.
"Do you have a basic life skill?"
"Can you do the work of a team of specialized workers?"
I can cook. I don't want to do it all the time so you should also know how to do it
This.

Sweet Jebus.
Just the thought of paying more than a few dollars for a totinos pizza chaps my ass in a special way.
And you know some sum bitches are door dashing them for 15$.
My roommates
I make have expensive food (steak, oysters, sashimi, beef tartare, etc., etc.) and I pay less per week then them
Dude, every single time I see the delivery fee is half the cost I go, "never mind, I'll just walk 10 minutes to the restaurant." Regardless of weather, time of day, or inebriation. People who pay for delivery are nuts.
It’d take me probably 45min one way to walk to any place that sold food. Damn 10min would be great.
Pay for delivery and cry poverty.
Yeah I’m just crying poverty picking everything up myself.
This was the reason my ex and i broke up lol
You're right. The real comeback should be, "can you?"
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah!
Up in the club with my homies
Like seriously, everyone should have basic skills. Cooking, cleaning, personal financial management, driving, basic maintenance, shit like that.
If you can't do that as an adult, like do they offer remedial "how to be an adult" classes?
I need one on grocery shopping
Learn to cook first if you don't! I always try to base my meals off of whatever is on sale. Learn some different cuisines, stock up on spices (initially a decent expenditure) go from there. Also, fuck junk food snacks. They're expensive, and they're terrible. Fruits are good if you're needing some sugar. Salads are a great snack. I don't make a giant bowl, just simple few veggies, chop and toss together. I enjoy cooking so it's always fun to see what I can whip up from what's on sale. Prepackaged chopped veggies are more expensive than you picking out your own. Marinated/ pre-spiced meats, same deal. Do it yourself and save the money.
I'm actually really good at cooking. I just don't like doing it.
Although I'm good at making really good food that's very involved and takes at least an hour. I struggle with easy daily cooking I guess
In regards to the daily cooking, for dinner in specific, anything you can throw in the oven is "easy" to me. Baked chicken, oven roasted veggies, potatoes. Toss your things in olive oil, seasonings, and bake away.
Building a small, serviceable shelter is one of those basic skills.
No, you don't have to know building codes and electrical and plumbing ... but you should be able to put together at least a basic shack that one could use to survive in and keep out of the weather.

I can build a house. I can cook.
I can also change a flat tire, check the oil and air pressure, change an air filter in the car AND in the house, do the laundry PROPERLY, make the bed, prune the trees, mow the lawn (even though the HOA takes care of that), change the batteries in anything, I know CPR, I can do taxes and I can clean windows leaving very little streaks.
Now, can you cook?
You can build an entire house? Like by yourself and meeting all the necessary regulatory requirements in the area you live in?
Honestly most house construction techniques are simple, Its just having the right tools, time and energy to do it. Any minutiae that you come across can be looked up online to clarify.
Absolutely.
(And, yes, I do know electrical and plumbing well enough to set up basic systems for both.)
Not that part, though.
The building codes and all the red tape are the actually difficult part.
Maybe building a house should be a basic life skill. Might have less of a housing crisis
The housing crisis isn't a labor shortage
100% should be.
It wouldn't help with the housing crisis much, though. Knowing how to build a house is relatively easy. Getting permission to build a house is the hard part.
Both in having a plot of land where you're allowed to do it and dealing with all the codes and regulations and permits and shit.
Well, that, and the other hard part is the cost of materials. It's sometimes possible to get stuff for cheap or free, but rarely enough to build a whole house out of, and even if you do find good sources, doing things that way is probably going to be 10x more work.
Actually I can build a house.
Now, can you cook?
I’m capable of building a house, and I also cook. What, if anything, do you bring to the table? (In my wifes case, understands humans and will bridge the gap on my autism).
I also chose this guy's wife . . .
I'm glad you have her, it sounds like you got it all covered between you!
That’s my thinking. I can cover most of the physical stuff - you sort out the mental and we’re good
'autistic hobby-doer + socially well-adjusted and gets invited to things partner' is a goated relationship dynamic
I too can build a house, and cook. But can you grow your own ingredients with which to cook?
Thank you for typing this out for me.
Same here. It's more ADHD and anxiety, I've never been diagnosed with autism, but I have my suspicions. Have built houses and do major construction repairs on my own and regularly cook.
I was taught in wood shop class in highschool.
The women should have been in home ec
At least thats how it worked then idk
I can build an out house, does that count?
I can design, permit and build a house... and I can cook.
But I'm only 5'11"... so no matches. /s
I can build a house, build with steel studs, do everything but the mechanical. I can cook, bake and make candy
You only build?
not only can i build a house, but i bet i can cook better than most people too.
The correct answer given here. 🤩
I can cook for myself. What I can't do is suck my dick.
But without a house, where will all this dick-sucking happen?
Behind a Denny's, where else?
Where ever you want it to baby 😉
Priorities
Ya got too many ribs apparently
Now now not with this attitude
Yoga.
I mean I've never built one but I'd be up for giving it a go if we need a house built
Probably not a daily chore, mind.
Also on the days I'm cooking you're gonna need to be able to build the house.. you can build a house, right?
She looks like someone who would fail at reheating pasta in a microwave
The kind of person who ends up in a ChubbyEmu video.
I can build a house, fix your car, AND cook. What you do?
“Well, I look pretty and I post live videos on tiktok where I ‘battle’ other people to see who can make tiktok the most money in a small window of time! Here’s my tits!”
Those are nice. Solid argument.
Edit: Damnit! Fell for it again!
I can juggle, beatbox and dance at the same time... Although i am pretty bad at each of them, but i sure can do it.
So how would this person react if the answer was yes?
Hahhahaha, this generation is fucked. My adopted- parents made sure I could build a house(I had to work construction to get an Xbox or an iPhone, my parents weren’t buying me that lol), rebuild an engine, cook clean and process animals that I harvested.

So can alot of people from every generation. The younger generations are also working construction.
Good for you. And how many other millennials know how to do all that? Does that mean your generation is fucked? How many Gen x know how to do all that? Does that mean their generation is fucked?
i can't build a house, that's why i work hard to pay the one someone else built for me off.

He’s hoping you can cook because it’s obvious you’re lacking in any other redeeming qualities.
That's some high maintenance there. Take her to McDonald's, drop her off and drive away flipping her off
I feel like if you can't cook, you don't deserve someone who can build you a house. Maybe she brings other things to the table. Like a nice personality?..jk
Imagine getting roasted by a guy named "Thomas Bland".
Yes the two tasks are clearly equal
The bar is on the floor for women and they still won't even reach it. Damn.
She needs to learn to build a table cause she’s not bringing anything to it
She said gender roles are dead but also please don’t check my smoke detector.
I know how to build a house and i am pretty sure i can as well. But guess who's not gonna live in it.
It’s more like, do you know how to work as a team to accomplish common goals, and do you have skills that will contribute to that common goal?
Goals will vary, and thus skills required will too
Yeah, being able to cook a basic meal is a basic life skill. Like being able to tie your shoe laces, fold laundry, vacuum your living room carpet.
Building a house literally requires specialized knowledge of carpentry and construction.
These are nowhere even close to the same thing.
I can, in fact, build a house and cook lol
Yes I can build a house if given the tools. Can you cook if I give you the tools for that task?
I can do both. Now what?
I can't build a house but I can cook...
I can do all three of those things.
"Can you build a house"
"Yeah"
*angry noises*
Never understood the whole relying on a woman to cook or a man to do something else. I cook. I love to eat so i had to learn to cook. Anyone can learn to do anything.
[deleted]
Relying on people is one thing. Expectation is another. There is too much “qualifying” going on in dating these days. You gotta check these boxes. I have to check those boxes.
If people would just spend time together instead of “interviewing” potential candidates they would realize everyone is flawed but we find someone who we love and loves us and make it work.
Let her starve. We all have to eat so being able to cook food is a basic requirement for everyone,unless you are going to be eating ordered food all the time but that can get very expensive.
Actually, I have built multiple houses. I can also cook.
She cant🤣
Build a house? Why yes, I can.
As I get older it becomes more important that “ONE” of you needs to know how to cook a meal.
Idc if it’s the husband or wife, but someone needs to know. Unfortunately, at the moment I don’t have the time or knowledge to do this
Imagine thinking the 2 are analogous in any way lol
Plot twist: neither of them can cook OR build a house
Anyone can cook if forced to cook.
I can do both 🥃🗿 i choose to only cook though the other one takes way too long dude
Tbh, building a house isnt that difficult. Its the quality of the building that matters. Much like cooking, can she probably cook? Sure, but can she make a gourmet meal?
No but I bought the house.
Maybe she can build a house.
Most guys can indeed build a house. I just built one for my grandma, and it was my first time too.
Best i can do is a pillow fort and dino nuggies
🤌🏽Bland
I can do some basic cooking but I'm a bureaucrat not a person who builds houses.
Yes I can build a house!
If I needed to build a house, I would learn how to do it from someone who can. If she needed to learn how to cook, she would sit on her ass and bitch about it.
I'm a cook. But I have helped with some home construction. And honestly my hubris says I could totally build a house.
I don’t understand how people don’t know how to cook at least four dishes. Everyone should know how to have sex and cook. Cooking cause you’re always going to eat and sex cause ideally you’ll get to do it with a partner and you don’t want to let em down. Also I think everyone should know how to throw a punch, cause eventually you’re going to want to pop somebody in the nose.
You can build a house and they wont call you a carpenter.
But you suck ONE dick...
I can do both.
🤷🏼
As a guy, I can cook. Nothing wrong with knowing how to take care of yourself. Maybe he was just asking in case she only knows cursed tik tok recipes so he can know if he's going to be the only one allowed in the kitchen or not. Because I would be upset if I was brought soggy lays potato chips passed of as mashed potatoes and not let her cook again.
Yeah I can build a house...in Lego or the Sims
My wife can cook and what she makes is delicious. But she isn't allowed for my sanity. It is my kitchen. MINE!
Yes I can build a house and I make a mean cereal js pass the milk please I’ll show you how it’s done
Eh I can't cook so it wouldn't be to judge just so I know what to expect/not to expect
Anyone can cook. Just drop a rat on his head.
If I build you a kitchen, could you cook in it? Cuz I can build a kitchen.
I can't build a house but i can cook very well.
I just want to cook together :( Having someone with clean hands while I have dirty hands makes some dishes so much easier to cook.
I like how everyone here on reddit is capable and knowledgeable on how to properly constuct a full house.
I'm not a carpenter but I could probably build a stick frame house, yes.
It'll take me a lot longer to do the interior for pick-up, and I garauntee it'll cost just as much as a contractor by the time I'm done fucking up.
But yeah I could probably get it done.
(Can also cook too so... No excuse really.)
Yes I can.
ok thomas but can you? ideally everyone should know how to
I think there's a huge difference between building an entire house and cooking a meal for dinner.
I love cooking and I can build a house.
Imagine being cooked because you can't cook lol
Hilariously- I built the house we live in.
I also do most of the cooking.
If given enough time and money (or at least the materials and tools,) I'm pretty confident in my abilities to build a house.
It wouldn't be a great house, but a house nonetheless.
Cooking on the other hand is literally reading directions.
People who "can't cook" worry me because if they can't follow the most simple directions, laid out in order of what to do, I feel like there isn't much they CAN do
There's no excuse for not being able to cook. Grow up.
I'm not gonna mess with foundations or plumbing, but yeah. I could do the rest. I didn't say I'd do a great job. But it'd be mostly waterproof.
I know how to build a house, and I still cook do the dishes and clean the toilet. Cooking is such a bullshit task to have to do everyday, doing it with a partner makes it so much more fun
I'm gonna be honest here: the bar is so low because an absurd amount of men let it be. Stop chasing chicks. Give your attention to good women.
Yes I can build a house. Now I ask again, can you fucking cook?!
Yes I can build a house thank you very much
I mean it rather depends on whether he was making conversation or literally asking her to cook that moment. "Can you cook?" can be meant both ways.
I can build a house... I can build a car...I can make my own fucking food.
I can, in fact, build a house. And I can cook. I don’t want her kind of drama in my life
i can build a house and i can cook. remind me what she brings to the table again?
Funny how I see these kinds of posts from like 30 differently named twitter accounts over the years.
It's almost like people keep recycling controversial shit takes for engagement on social media.
I could get some sort of hut or gazebo together
It’s non sequitur fallacy. The fact she doesn’t like being asked about cooking doesn’t mean she cannot.
Says the guy whose literal name is "bland"
pretty sure the male equivalent would be tire/oil change.
I can, now can you cook?
I can only imagine the dude was a Construction worker 💀
And yes i can build you a house
I love when they say they can't cook! The kitchen is MY domain! 🤤
I can do both. 🤷♂️
I’ll be frank, I’ll choose a half decent cook over a master fellatrix with an oral fixation literally every day.
Asking someone if they know how to cook isn't a sexist or misogynistic question.
Every adult should know how to cook. It is a litmus test for independence.
Plus, I love to cook with my wife. I imagine lots of single home-cooks are looking for a cooking partner.
I can do both
yea bro she can't cook
Funny story. My friend's dad built his home using his son and his friends as general labor (we were roughly 15-17 at the time). While we didn't do all the intricate electrical work or plumbing, we were helping to build the frame, install flooring, install the roof, etc. Sure, we didn't "build the house" but we were definitely a part of the process.
When this question was asked of my friend ("Can you build a house?) he just said "Yes." and pulled out his phone with photos of all the work we did.
"I... can build a house. I also can cook.
Back to the original question."
We and try it the opposite way if you would like.
I can do the cooking and you can build the house.
With instructions, yes I think I could build a house. Without instruction, I could still give it a good effort but I won't guarantee it'll be safe to live in.
*fuck
I can build a simple house, just need all the materials, don’t expect any electrical work in that house though, I am not proficient in electrical works, also it would take a month or more to finish
Cooking is much simpler to do, honestly
... or be civil.
“Can you do my laundry?” “Can you renovate our entire basement?” Idk maybe with enough trial and error
My crying what?
I can’t do neither 😎
It would be funny, because I can. Never did the whole family house though, it's a bit too much, but separated operations from bricklaying and roof building to interior montage and texturing were here.
Jokes on her, I can cook and I can build a house
I can. I won't, but I can.
She’s so dumb, a very small percentage of men can properly build a house, yet a lot more men can cook. It’s crazy the lengths some people will go to justify their laziness.
I can cook because I like to eat food and not be hungry all of the time. I am shocked if someone cannot make basic meals for themselves based on what they have laying around their pantry that week.
I studied toxicology. You wanna taste my dinner? You're welcome
I could build a house sure, worked on row housing in Calgary for years going through school.
Did I pay a company to do my roof last summer? Sure did.
What about if he left to hangout with guys then he decided to send pics of all the food they just cooked while she’s sitting there wishing she could send food pics too
I mean, if neither person are able to cook, then maybe they shouldn't be together... though, both failing to achieve such a basic life skill does give them something they have in common.
I can cook, and have no problem cooking in a relationship, but guess maybe I should ask that question of a potential partner just so I don't feel like I'm someone's father.
How about compare like for like! You can cook, so can I. I can do the lawn, DIY, drive us everywhere and look after you.
Comparing cooking to building a house is the kind of idiocy that shows me why I dodged a bullet with you. Thank you 😊
I was a house carpenter for 3 years, and on one project I was hired by the company owner to help him build his own cabin. It was always just either me and him, or towards the end just me and another guy, so I actually can build a house entirely from the ground up. I can build the forms, run conduits and plumbing, finish the pad (although I kinda suck at that and the plumbing), mark out the walls, build and stand them, all the way to finishing the sheetrock, painting, and adding the trim.
As a guy who can both cook and build a house, I just want to know how much I'll be teaching you.
Controversial statement incoming:
All women should know how to cook. All men should know how to cook. It is a basic life skill, everyone should know how to make a simple meal from basic easily available resources. Same for all other basic life skills that are bound to come up sooner or later. If you don't know how to do laundry, clean the toilet or fix a clogged drain, get your ass up and learn.
Gimme the tools, material and youtube and i'll build a fuckin house.
I can do both
I can also cook in the house I built if that counts. But I don't have a twitter account so I ain't perfect.
Do you have any skills?
How dare you!!!
so many people can build a house in these comments
A basic household task vs something that requires years of training and a team of people to do... This comparison alone shows how stupid she is.
Can you cook? = Can you provide for me and/or a family using a skill/characteristic I don't possess.
What do you do for a living? = Can you provide for me and/or a family using a skill/characteristic I don't possess.
Can you provide? = can you provide?
I'm a framer so yes. And i can cook too.
Yes I can cook (meth)
I cook. My wife cooks. Teaching my sons to cook because you too many of you losers have no life skills.
Learn how to cook. Everyone.
“Can you build a house?” My blank look back at them “Yes I can, does that mean you can cook?”
I get the idea of the meme, basic life skill vs job of specialized workers, but it's less so about cooking and building houses being comparable and more about misogyny. The truth is, everyone should be able to cook, men and women included, but this woman isn't being stupid.
I can build a house but it would take a long ass time without help from a dozen people. I can also cook really well. Been doing it since I was 12.
I can build a house. It would take a while and be quite expensive, but I have the knowledge and skills.
I can build a small, one story house. What does that get me? Also, I can cook.
