If it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid!
We humans are strange creatures. Sometimes we have this ill-advised notion that we know better than everyone else and can dismiss things without knowing much about them. But luckily, we're also open to learning and growing, even if it requires admitting that we don't have all the answers. So Reddit usermade a post on the platform, asking others to share the life hacks they thought were nonsense, but tried and found to be surprisingly effective.
2. keeping appropriate cleaning supplies in each room they'll be used in makes it much easier for quick tidying and thus less need for major awful cleaning later. We had an issue with wasps in our yard. My wife read something about wasps being deterred by fake nests and made some using brown paper bags. It seemed utterly comical that wasps would collectively look at a poorly contrived fake nest and think to themselves, “I don’t want any of that smoke with those wasps.”I have been to people's houses that don't have a trash can in the powder room. WTF? So what do I do with my used sanitary products? So gross.
Once I got drunk and fell into my bathroom door ripping the hinges out. The next day a friend of mine recommended filling the holes with chopsticks and screw it back in and it worked.For smaller holes, I use toothpicks and a bunch of wood glue. Jam them in, then screw the screw into that nest. The screw isn't coming back out.
In the morning while showering or getting dressed think about the things you are grateful for. It will help you start the day with a better mindset. No guarantee it will last, but it helps to start. Using shaving cream to remove carpet stains. I thought it was a dumb Instagram video trick, but it actually works really well.Shaving cream is just soap and soap works quite well as shaving cream. I haven't bought shaving cream in over 20 years.
For college students:If you are in a big class, sit where the prof can see your face clearly. Look interested when they lecture, and respond when appropriate. Visit them during office hours. Be genuinely interested. This brings amazing benefits! Making a memorable noise / motion when I lock the door / turn off the stove / close the window so I don't panic about if I did it or not later, because the act that goes alongside it is so memorable and I'll only do it when I've done that thing.I use the words"lock" and"off". I started using the to make sure I lock the front door and the car, as well as for making sure that I've switched everything off before I leave work or home.
To neutralize oils from hot peppers, use a liquid antacid, like Malox or Milk of Mag. I had handled hot peppers and my hands were on fire. So bad I thought I would have to go to the hospital. MOM worked instantly. I once saw this hack where you use a hair straightener to iron shirt collars real quick. Thought it was dumb but gave it a shot before a job interview—worked like a charm, no wrinkles! Just don't burn yourself or set off the smoke alarm like I almost did.
That's like $50/mo for me just for making a couple of phone calls. These are 'promotional' rates that they give you. They will automatically go back to your old rates after a certain amount of time. All you have to do is make a note in your phone letting you know that your promotional deal is about to be over and call again.
2. Very simple, but just leave your things on the hanger, fold them, and shove them in a suitcase. Saves the trouble of taking them off and putting them on. Just remove from the suitcase and hang. I also saw a good hack elsewhere where you just wrap trash bags on your hanging clothes and tie it off at the top, leaving the hanger hooks poking out. Basically a quick and temporary suit bag.
There is some actual science to it. Your body clears adenosine when sleeping but it takes some time to fully clear out the remainder after waking. Immediate caffeine doesn’t allow this clearance which leads to the crash later.I'm ready to believe this, but I need a hot cup of tea first thing, when I say first, I of course mean after I've fed the cats.
If you immediately smear the affected area with aquafresh toothpaste and leave it for 10 - 20 seconds before you touch it, you will feel no pain, no blister, and no mark on the skin. Up until then we used the"ghost" method, meaning someone stands there with an inside out duvet cover over their head and their hands at the corners. The other person hands them two corners of the duvet through the cover and they then hold on as the other person un-ghostifies them. Kinda fun but not quite as easy.Seems to be complicated ways to do a simple thing.
Put the cutlery in the dishwasher in the same sections. Eg all forks in one section, all knives in another. When you unload the dishwasher you just transfer the cutlery in one handful at a time instead of pulling them out one by one.1) Everything in your house needs a home3) you can literally buy cake whenever you feel like it. It doesn’t have to be an occasion or a birthday or anything.No.
Strain cereal with a colander to get the crushed parts from the bottom of the bag, no more funked up milk. Genius!Aqua fresh toothpaste will pull a stinger out if you get stung by a bee.I keep a bottle of aloe very gel in the fridge for sunburns. Coolness feels good and the aloe helps heal the skin.
