    classic cuisine/cooking

    This is lacking majorly in today's society of highly processed foods and fast food, with US business markets exploiting the planet on this front, further dividing people from food to the point a lot have no idea where food comes from or what makes up food and how it got to the plate.

    Sarcasm and how to detect it. It will save you countless hours of unnecessary consternation.

    That's just mean. Not everyone knows what consternation means and some will confuse it with constipation. That will cause them to become further stressed thinking that their constipation is unnecessary. That, in turn, will cause them to become MORE constipated and might make them cry because they can't afford a colonoscopy and don't want to use anal suppositories. Very inconsiderate dirt. You're a jerk.

    Computers. What they are made of, how they work, the programming languages that we use to control them. They are in just about every modern piece of technology and yet a large portion of the people who use them have no concept of how they work.

    You should learn about the Higgs Boson theory. And after that learn about the new "invisibilty" cloak that has been made through time manipulation.

    If it is a longer term goal, I would suggest learning Spanish.

    If it is JUST for today, I would suggest something physiology related.

    Learning that might add to depression though, once you realize how broken the imperial American business centered economics are and what they do globally in the name of short term profits.

    The coming world financial system collapse, and how gold and non-hybrid seeds can help protect you and your loved ones in times of crisis.

    Yeah. It's only led to amazing advancements in the quality of life around the planet. Damn Americans! :huh:

    ETA: Please knock it off, and do not turn this into a political debate. Doing so will trigger the mods will shut down the thread, which would be unfair to the OP and everyone else that manages to have fun in here without slinging their political views. There are plenty of other venues for that online.
