Meaning if it is easy and accessible to try and fix your own things, or DIYing a solution before going to (if at all) professional assistance. Typically because the professionals are very expensive or a hassle.
Comes from trying to fix technology and other of the sort with small things that everyone has, such as toothpicks, because getting it professionally fixed is very expensive, and you might as well try.

Get the Triple Takemug. Hym "So you're taking cues from animals... Rather than eternal Jewish dictators... And that's better to you? That's why I think Atheists are stupid animals. Because they literally are. So when I say 'For me to not murder your kids you need to not do this chimpanzee barking shit and you need to both recognize and pay for my contributions to society online or off' and your response with 'WeLl fOr Me To NoT mUrDeR kIdS i NeEd tHe OpPoSiTe!' One of us is being a retarded animal and the other is not. Are alligators psychopathic? No. It's dumb. Your morality is literally just 'Well, we're closely related to bonobos (or something) this is how bonobos behave so we're just gonna do that.' This is just how people work + determinism = 🤷 ♂️ thought terminating cliché (It is what it is. If you know you know. Bark bark bark oo oo ah ah tookie tookie)."
