I built my shed door by watching YouTube. My starting point was knowing what a nail and a hammer is.



The amount of practical knowledge like that on YouTube is really something to behold. It’s gotten me out of all kinds of jams.


And it's all made by humans (other than creepy cartoons and listicles). I had to take apart my vacuum cleaner to debug it (turns out the power cord got frayed inside the bobbin) and the websites were full of autogenerated crap.

YouTube? There's a channel by a vacuum cleaner repairman that has a video about my model. Turns out I didn't miss any screws or latches, I just had to give the housing a stronger yank to open it.
