When was the last time you tried something new? What was it and what age range are you?

I'm trying to confirm a really common hypothesis and also I'm curious.

@hypolite
To me "trying something new" means "learning something new" whether it's a new cake recipe or something about myself. And I love to learn.

Sorry it's quite evasive.
If you'd like a more specific example the past few months I (47) have been trying to improve my tech skills to de-Google my phone and switch to Linux.

@aSweetGentleman For me learning new recipes doesn't feel that new, it still is set in a familiar setting of cooking/baking, unless it's a recipe from a culture you aren't familiar with.

Same for tech, unless you've never used any of the tools involved with the new paradigm you are learning, it still feels too familiar to me to qualify as new.

@hypolite Yes I thought about that.
I guess that's the thing: the more experience you have, the more likely you can relate a "new" thing to something you already experimented.

I used an EV for the 1st time a few weeks ago. For me it was a new experience but it's still within the "driving" wider one.

So, nope. Nothing new for me.😞

@aSweetGentleman It's okay, you have been somewhat recently having one of the most trans-formative new experience one can have. 😉
