What if I'm not qualified to glue two pieces of cardboard together? Where is my hideout?
In that case, you have a few options:
This guy fucking gets it. Let's go with hobbies. Show your kids passion and a love of learning, the ability to have fun, and wrap it all in in emotional support and love and everything will be fine. I have an office with a bunch of nerd projects and we're building out the basement workshop. My 3 year old already "helps" me build stuff and I hope that only increases. Mom has a second husband of her job in athletics, so kiddo is learning about normalizing hard work and athletic endeavors, visits Mommy's office and weight room, etc.
The meme is funny. A lot of this conversation is definitely not, glad there's some reasonable takes down here.
Dungeons and dragons was developed in a man cave.
Also, 1 of the guys' wives thought he was cheating on her. She followed him to a house and thought to catch him in the act, when he went into the basement. Instead, she burst in on him and his friends playtesting D&D in their basement mancave.
If we're going by this logic, I would say that the personal computer was invented in a "man cave".
Though I guess those kids weren't married yet (right? probably?)
It might have been his GF. Definitely his female other half.
The difference between a mancave and a workshop is 90% mentality. A workshop is generally to do a job, or a chore. A mancave is focused on enjoyment. The line is extremely blurry, however. Particularly if you enjoy making stuff.
By example. Developing D&D in a cosy basement, with the intention of having fun, it's a mancave. By the time you're using the same basement more for boxing and organising shipping, it's a workshop. It's akin to the difference between a bedroom and a brothel.
Oh, I was thinking it may have still been their parents' garage. But I guess they were a bit older than that (and back then, college dropouts could afford houses with garages).
Also basement.

Fuck. You might be on to something
