11. Vinyl records.
I know there are grooves but how does a needle going over those tiny grooves make such a specific sound, like the vocals, guitars, drums, keyboards, or any other instrument? And how did people invent this so long ago?
I’ve seen closeups of a needle in a groove but it still doesn’t make sense to me how a few ridges can produce these sounds exactly. And how do they even put those specific grooves in there, especially over a century ago!

15. The economy, as in I understand everything hypothetically, but have no clue how I’m going to implement my “knowledge.” Yeah I know how a mortgage works, and I know how taxes work, but what do I do? Just go to the bank and say “1 mortgage please!” I just feel like I’m missing something about the “real world” and since I’m 17, I’m only a couple of years off it.
