What are some simple skills that anyone with average intelligence and common sense can learn without much natural talent ?

I can think of a few…

Making Toast: Look, if you can’t handle toast, we might need to reconsider your status as a functioning adult.

Folding Laundry: This ain't rocket science, folks. Just fold and stack.

Basic Cleaning: Wipe down surfaces. Sweep the floor. Your space doesn't need to look like a sterile lab; just aim for a setup that wouldn’t scare off your mom if she dropped by unannounced.

Tying Shoelaces: If you’ve made it this far without mastering shoelaces, we need to talk.

Setting an Alarm: ok.. maybe not this one. We’re gonna need a few extra IQ points for this one—I mean, literally.

Boiling Water: Fill a pot, put it on the stove, wait for bubbles.

Complimenting: “Hey, nice shirt!” or “Your hair looks great!” Make people feel good without being one compliment away from a restraining order.
