I mean, it's not really a spoiler at this point, is it?
Edit: I deleted it to appease the masses

Fair point.
Had Raditz not gone and decided to mess everything up, Chichi would have probably eventually taught Gohan how to do such things.
It's one of those "we'll never know" situations.
Thank you for your comments
He was 4, at best he'd be reading picture books on his own.

He's half-saiyan, he matures faster.
I mean, given that she taught Goten martial arts, it seems pretty likely.

Not a valid answer. Don't glorify Saiyans.

(I realize it's worded poorly, but I am agreeing with you)
Also, it's an untrue statement. Goku himself is a prime example. He was much older when we first saw him in Dragon Ball than Gohan was at the start of the Fieza saga, but Gohan was definitely smarter.
It's obvious that the 'its saiyan' claim doesn't work, because we have a clear and obvious display of examples that vary from each other.
Goku? Immature, simpleminded. Gohan? Might have been the situations he was put through so early in life.
Goten? Immature, simpleminded. Trunks? Despite growing up under the Prince of all Buzzkills, he somehow has a reasonably mature demeanor.
Pan is... Damnit, she's all over the place. I'm pretty sure different writers were writing her every single episode.
We don't really have any other examples of Saiyan younglings, do we?

Maybe when it comes to combat, but not smarts.
This is 14 year old Goku reading
It's with the fluency you expect from an 3rd grader

You're right I don't always read what I'm saying but a lot of the time I'm not typing this I'm actually speaking into my phone's microphone and having it translate my speech to text and it gets a little messed up either because it says the wrong thing or I say the wrong thing because I'm speaking too fast.

Again that was because I'm speaking into my text-to-speech device on my phone and sometimes it screws up my stuff and I don't take the time to go back and correct everything sorry.
And I don't know what you're talking about as far as struggle goes because they all had teachers to teach them how to use the chi and make them more powerful martial artists. the problem is is there are only two teachers of it the crane school master and master Roshi of the turtle School and they don't teach many people and apparently almost none of their students teach people at all so the reason that the entire Earth is always pendant on the Z Warriors is because they're the only ones who can actually fight if they don't teach anyone that was my point.

Yeah, totes Chichi and Goku getting together, I mean they will meet exactly the same way when Goku goes to get the seven star ball from fry pan mountain...oh wait..welp sorry people.
You know that Goku was literally dropped on his head as a baby, right? On top of that, while Gohan apparently did teach him the basics, we don't know how long before the first episode of Dragonball he died (the wiki lists his date of death as "Between Age 738-Age 749," with Goku's date of birth being Age 737), so who knows how much he was able to teach him? Also, Goku sucked at math, so he miscalculated his age, when he told it to Bulma at the start of the series. He was actually 12. Not that it makes a huge difference, but still.
That said, a twelve-year-old (likely brain-damaged) Goku had been living alone for at least a few months, without any real issues.

it should be noted that in the Manga timeline that Goku was 3 when he landed on earth, the anime had him being like a year old. Considering the events of Dragon Ball Super: Broly...as its now cannon I suggest those who havent watched it watch it.

I preferred the special tbh.
My headcanon is like a mix of both minus and bardock the father of Goku. It's a perfectly good special— that retcon was almost as stupid as the potara earring time limit.
Btw the potara in this story have a permanent effect— if I were ever to use them, anyway.

Man I love fusion in DB, it always creates such interesting characters and the mechanics behind it all are fascinating.
Like, what happens when namekians do the fusion dance or potara, since they can fuse without them? Or what happens if two pairs of people first fusion dance and then use the potara?
It kind of reminds me of Digimon, actually.

If there's a party option maybe not, but that's less important to me than that Ten and whoever he could fuse with be complimentary with each other.
Fusion is a lot like marriage in that way.

Wasn't the potara earrings suppose to be permanent in the first place? I mean that's why elder kai is the way he is because he is still fused with someone else if I remember things right and that wasn't just another fanfic out of the thousands I've read...

Yes, it was supposed to be permanent through that very example you mentioned.
But, Toriyama retconned it by saying that it's only permanent if a supreme kai is part of the fusion.
Otherwise it's an hour long time-limit. Less if you power up too much.
Honestly the biggest cop out I've ever seen, and fans eat it up because they got to see a glimpse of Vegetto or however his name is pronounced depending on publication.

His name is Vegito, or the name I like from the Viz English manga, Vegerot, which makes me think of some kind of vegetable based villain.

Wait... Waaaaaaaait. What about Shin? He was fused Kibito, and Shin was a/is a supreme Kai. In Super they aren't fused anymore, right?
So they aren't even following their own dumb rules? God I hate Super...
