    When you add your google account on your phone, it tracks every app you use, with a timestamp.(you can turn it off, but it’s more of a formality,they still track you) It can track your location, video and audio recordings of you as well.

    I randomly found this out today, I feel like an incompetent idiot. I wasn’t aware of it, and I found data recordings dating back years, including calls made from maps and general areas seen on maps , calendar inputs not synced to google calendar.I might make a separate, more detailed post about this, I just don’t know on what instance to post it.

    Cooking! I knew some basics, but it was only in my late thirties that I really had to learn, due to life. It’s a great skill to have!

      Learning how to cook, decades ago, was a big change for me. It makes you more independent and more reliable for others, on a single stroke. And you don’t need to be pulling out fancy dishes to do it - learning how to cook everyday basic stuff is enough for most people, and relatively easy.

    How to make small talk. I’m extroverted but I absolutely suck at small talk/casual conversations with people. I’m still not great about it, but it can be as easy as asking expanding questions about anything they said.

    Black holes. My son, out of the blue, became very interested in them. They’re quite cool and important.

    An app called Free Game Radar. Will give you a push notification when a store makes a game free (Steam, GOG, Epic, etc.).

    Going off this, an app called Hot Stock. It will give you a push notification when a high demand / low stock item gets put back in stock. Things like games, consoles, computer parts, toys. I finally got a set of N64 Switch controllers.
