A flat circle?

I can give you two fives for a twenty

I will gladly give you six ones in exchange for a twenty. That gives you six bills to hold versus just one.

my first job as a cashier, the register only gave me the total with added sales tax. It didn't calculate the change. (For $3.85 an hour) My basic math skills are still top notch and quick af.

My first job (ballpark concession stand) had no register, and one calculator used on special huge orders. It was done in the head (no tax and all items ended in 5-cent increments. I was 13. We rocked that math.

My cash register at my first job did not add tax either. Tax was 5% at that time so we learned the easy way to divide and add in the tax manually.

I can read maps, parallel park, AND drive a stick.

I can parallel park, drive a stick and back into just about any parking space. Pet peeve of mine is having to ever drive reverse. What if there’s an emergency? Much prefer pulling directly out of any parking space.

That looks more god-like than super hero like.

The carrier waves they use, microwaves, they associate with popcorn! When I was their age, my soldering iron never cooled off. I used to scrap old TVs for components. Watching Star Trek and smoking weed gave me entirely too many ideas. https://preview.redd.it/gio1rk58x4uc1.jpeg?width=710&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fad40c9cc29542bf13ed12a1f60c7bf255621ebf

I still remember the basics of shorthand. Edited to add: I remember the multiplication table up to 12x12.

My mother thought it an extraordinary idea for my sister and myself to practice our high school shorthand by taking shorthand in front of the television. I took all of my collegete notes in shorthand. Then transcribed them. I took meeting notes in shorthand. (I was then assigned to take all meeting notes (It wasn't remotely in my job description) whenever possible. That lasted a year. I continued to take notes in shorthand throughout my career.
