When a father answers his child's question, no matter how simple, with undesired and tangentially relevant information and life advise.
I asked my dad where the spare tire was and he must have gone on for half an hour dadsplaining how to change it. I'll be damned if that information didn't come in handy a couple months later.

When a father or dad starts a sentence with, "I think you'll find"........then proceeds to impress his audience with his array of knowledge, facts and information to ensure that he thinks he is smarter than everyone in the room and that you are only as smart as dog shit.
I think you'll find that dadsplaining means I'm full of shit and I'm just trying to sound smart

Any sentence spoken by a dad to persons younger than himself that begins with, "When I was your age," or, "I'll tell you why that is," or, "If you were smart, here's what you'd do..."
My dad says that when he was my age, phones had cords on them and there was a thing called "long distance." He's been Dadsplaining the old days at me all morning.

Similar to mansplaining, but used to explain topics outside the realm of expertise in a condescending or patronizing manor to those without parental experience.
The chef was dadsplaining to my astrophysicist colleagues why the Earth is truly flat.

When, upon confirming his target does in fact know how to do something, a dad explains it anyways.
Dad: Hey son, I think it would be good to know how to change a tire in case of emergency.
Son: I actually know how to do that. I popped a tire last year and luckily had a spare. YouTube is super helpful.
Dad: So the first thing you're going to want to do is...
Son: Please stop dadsplaining this to me!
Similar to mansplaining, but when you're dad does it even more
The programme was destroyed when he started dadsplaining
