“Common sense” literally just means stuff most people are likely to know.
It used to be common sense to not sneak up behind a horse in the dark. But most people today have no idea why that could literally cost you your life, unless if they watched GoT or something and remember what happened to Hodor.
If horses were still everywhere, it would still be common sense. Because common sense stuff didn’t need to be taught. An average person would have learned that by a certain age regardless of if anyone ever tried to teach them.
Either they’d have been kicked by a horse, or they’d have seen/heard of a person being kicked.
Most of the time when I see people make the complaint you just did, it’s because they’re older and don’t understand information that was important for them, is no longer important for the next generation.
Why do people who are also on the internet always feel like trying to say the other person doesn’t go outside is a valid argument it’s just as likely you’re a basement dwelling virgin who hasn’t seen the sun in months as it is he is.
But by creating isolated communities, the common sense will be isolated alongside into clusters of uncommon common senses which will make them not common at all.
Besides all of what you said being wrong…
You think “a few years ago” is recent?

Cute argument. Love it!
I was actually kicked twice by horses when I was a child. Maybe you should pass that information along to the newer generations…
You know, actually teach what you believe should be common sense…
…
You completely and utterly missed every point I was making if you still think that’s common sense.
Here’s an example of common sense in 2024, that’s actually relevant to “newer generations” tho:
Again, that’s not common sense. There is no such thing as common sense.
You had to be educated to learn to use digital technology in the first place.
But maybe, just maybe you can listen to your own supposed ‘common sense’, and just drop your argument and go touch some grass or something.

I’m between pit stops right now, elbow deep in grease and about to have to change a starter on a Hyundai.
And I’ve had more than my share of relationships. Thank you for the insult though.
And yet you still find all this time to argue on the internet? Hopefully one day I can be half as successful as you!
I just finished successfully replacing the starter.
I’m also finished with this comment chain.
The other guy was finished hours ago, he must be even more successful than you I guess!
