When I was about 12, my father brought from the airbase thrift shop two books of the "Tell me why" series. It blew my mind knowing how stuff, iI never paid attention to, worked.
From then on I knew that there was an explanation for almost everything, it just required looking for the right book :โ -โ )
This has been my entire life only with Google. People always ask me why I know so much about so many things, but it's really all just surface level knowledge. There's an answer for just about every question you can have, so why not find it?
