    If we’re going by this logic, I would say that the personal computer was invented in a “man cave”.

    Though I guess those kids weren’t married yet (right? probably?)

      It might have been his GF. Definitely his female other half.

      The difference between a mancave and a workshop is 90% mentality. A workshop is generally to do a job, or a chore. A mancave is focused on enjoyment. The line is extremely blurry, however. Particularly if you enjoy making stuff.

      By example. Developing D&D in a cosy basement, with the intention of having fun, it’s a mancave. By the time you’re using the same basement more for boxing and organising shipping, it’s a workshop. It’s akin to the difference between a bedroom and a brothel.
