It's the bliss of realizing that, in some small way, you are useful.

Many of us will not achieve this level of inner light.

Being able to find DIY repair videos on your exact problem / appliance model / vehicle is the single greatest thing about YouTube

Replaced some drier vent tubing in the basement a few months ago and immediately ran through a brick wall

Fixed the A/C on my car with youtube tutorials. I got irrationally pumped about it and still brag about it any chance i get.

Changed a flat tire on my car. Master of my domain….

I've done exactly this! It's the most satisfying feeling to complete a very tactile task. We're writers, hitting that "check the box" feeling is hard to do.

Hadn’t ever thought of that sort of relationship. I certainly get a thrill when some computer thing I’m struggling with finally works for me (or oddly works the first time). But in terms of ‘tactile’, the first time I wrote code that triggered something physical in the real world? It was ⚡️!

I once used YouTube to fix the air conditioning in a Prius while on the interstate (in the passenger seat) and I will never shut up about it ever

I still feel the power of that time in 2020 when I fixed my own internet outage. I had not felt so manly before or since

during the lockdown i repaired my refrigerator with the help of YouTube and a convo with a guy at an appliance store. still living on the high.

I replaced my kitchen sink by myself and then smashed a cinder block with my bare hands.

I fixed my own leaky washing machine recently with the help of YouTube and it felt amazing. I felt like I could do anything.

No trips to the hardware store? well deserved feelings...

This is me whenever I fix anything in my house without crying

Nothing is more satisfying than constructing something that feels like it’s going to last. Also, freeing any kind of clogged pipe and watching the liquid flow free.
