Can or Can't

Not a scratch cake. (I don't bake cakes often enough to have memorized recipes. Unlike cooking, I've learned that good baking outcomes require precision.)

Can you still do some of the dances that were popular when you were a teenager? (The Mashed Potato dance comes to my mind).
 
Maybe the Hokey Pokey, as the lyrics contain instructions. 😄

Can you play any of the board games well enough to win occasionally?
 
Depends on the board game, but yes. I'm pretty good at Candy Land, Chutes and Ladders. Won't play Monopoly... I played as a kid and didn't much like it, played as an adult with my own children and still didn't care for it. If my grands want to play it, it's their parents turn to suffer through the experience. :p

Not counting sleeping time, can you comfortably go more than about 5 hours without food?
 
I don't understand cryptocurrency. That's not to say I "can't" understand it - just that I haven't yet seen a simple, concise explanation. (That's my story and I'm sticking to it...)

Can you bear to eat cardboard-tasting tomatoes from the grocery store once summer arrives and garden-fresh tomatoes are again available?
 
Can. There've been no interstate restrictions throughout Covid within the US. Some state gov'ts dabbled with that nearly a year ago but abandoned the idea very quickly.

Can you imagine this planet's future ability to sustain life without being terrified about the consequences of climate change.
 
No. We're experiencing some of that climate change right now.

(Too bad about the cryptocurrency, Starsong. I was hoping you could explain it to me!)

Can you hum a popular tune accurately enough for it to be recognized without using any of the words?
 
Can't do so fluently, but still remember enough HS German to communicate a bit, particularly if the person I'm speaking with knows a tiny bit of English. I've been taken by surprise by how well I've managed, given how long ago HS was for me...

Can you paint your toenails neatly?
 
I can, but have been known to work through the pain and voice my opinion anyway. :p

Can you kill insects without feeling guilty?
