It’s actually not like building a lego set. If you’ve never touched screws and panels you’re going to need a ten minute video just to figure out how to put a door on a cabinet from Ikea even though that’s a pretty simple job if your cabinet allows it and I know I had anxiety considering they were basic cabinet parts because the shit I was holding was expensive. And even if it was as simple as popping a drawer and unscrewing things it was still a pain in the ass.
Trying to imagine how telling people that buying a bunch of parts separately after verifying that they do indeed work together and fit inside the cabinet after figuring out what parts you need and them assembling everything from scratch is like building legos is not a mark of being a complete dweeb.
Especially when a lot of people who have never built a cabinet from Ikea before are probably completely new to that sort of thing in general and have no frame of reference.
In short I’d really like redditors to shut the fuck up.
That post was an op to convince leftists that doing literally anything physical or real is literally too hard and oppressive, change my view
My takeaways are that “build a PC yourself!” is the hardware version of learn2code, and that people who try diy-ing stuff for the first time should be gentle with themselves when they don’t do it perfectly on the first go and to not diminish their own accomplishments when they get it, but tbf I read that post when I was still mostly asleep and don’t remember most of the text of it

It’s not that hard if you use PCpartpicker. If you didn’t know about sites like that it would be basically impossible, yeah

IKEA furniture isn’t like building with a Lego set, it’s somehow easier.
