When did you first learn common sense? - And are you confident that you mastered it?

When you go on social media you can see all sorts of examples of young adults doing something incredibly stupid (like putting hand wash soap in a dishwasher or pouring buckets of water on hardwood floors or draining a pool at a place with a high ground water level) that should be plainly obviously stupid. I've started to wonder when I first learned that these things were really stupid mistakes to make, as I wouldn't have known these things myself fresh out of the womb.

I was too young to really remember, but I do recall I came to realize many people don't have any at all soon after. I was a cautious wuss of a child, so "cause and effect" was a critical point for little autismo me as far back as I can remember.

I sometimes refer to it as a "superpower" in jest, though frequently, it doesn't feel like I'm joking. Quite often I am left aghast witnessing how the modern world allows the dumbest fucking people to ever exist the means to survival.
