With the "right to repair" movement gaining some traction, and being an avid tinkerer I made this sub. Post vids or stories of stuff getting fixed/repaired, ask questions about fixing your own broken stuff.

Many people actually look down on those who repair their broken stuff rather than throw it away and buy a new one. 100% support this sub.

Many people are idiots.

I think you underestimate the actual percentage of idiots in the world. :D

Is there a set of rules for amount adjectives? Like "a few" or "some", can "a couple" be three of something?

Someone at work once called me all "little house on the paries" because when a button broke off my jacket I sewed it back on. She was proud that she doesn't even know how to sew a button.

That person sounds entitled and looks down on people who are self reliant with skills. DIY is for people who want to improve themselves like yourself.

I think we all understand why her husband cheated on her (and then left her for) a stripper.

At least she knew what a button was. Too bad she's lazy.

Being proud that you don't know how to stick a needle through a fucking hole a few times.

No you don't understand.... She's a proud feminist. Fixing your own simple problems is patriarchy. Just throw it away and buy a new jacket. That's empowering.
