I like to think I have the general gist of how cars work and go together, even if I couldn't literally get in one and replace some arbitrary part (other than tires/batteries/fluids) without a lot of guides.

Yeah, I feel like I know all the very specific stuff from watching videos about how 4-stroke engines and such work, but the moment I open my actual-for-real hood I'm mostly clueless outside of very basic maintenance.
