Most of my life is hack. People call them ‘optimisers’ these days. I can’t do anything without thinking about how I could do it faster, cheaper, better. I suppose one of my biggest blunders was using heroin in place of ADHD medication. It works great for ADHD but the side effects are a total nightmare.
The only life hack that I use on a regular basis is covering toilet flush sensors with TP. It works pretty reliably to keep them from flushing until you’re actually ready to leave.
Figured that out earlier in life when a certain office toilet would wait until I was exactly 50% done peeing, so that I couldn’t stop or dodge, and then it would power flush and send up a nice germ-ridden uriney mist. Blocking the sensor until I was done totally fixed it.
Pretty much any other life hack that looked interesting to me has been effectively pointless and did not see continued use. I don’t think I’ve ever tried one that was detrimental though… just useless.
Coconut oil for skin moisturizer.
Fuck you, turns out its maximally comedogenic.
Found out later that sunflower oil is top tier.
Anything on lifehacker 🤦
I hate when people do this.
Never before have I felt so personally attacked.
Ohh they are folding it in fron the top also? Why not just do it from the bottom and cut the top off? Without touching any of the content?
It go beyond that. When some person starts to do that it’s like “look this fucking cool idea I saw on this thing that kids call the internet”. At the end you have to undo the trick because you can’t grab the last chips that are stuck in the multiple pocket universes that are created, that, and the fact that a lot of chips got break in the process.
I don’t usually take scissors to the bar with me
