yeah, definitely ruin a six-dollar pint of ice cream to get a couple of spoonfuls that you won't taste because it's stuck between two chemically sweetened supermarket cookies. Got any other great recipes? Dulce de leche twizzlers? Tictacs foie gras?

Unsurprisingly, reddit is chock full of god awful life hacks: http://www.reddit.com/r/lifehacks Use lovely tape on your laptop to point to the ports as opposed to using the memory in your brain:  This one is described as "Life hack for a hotel with no microwave."

And does that fucker clean the pot out when he's done or does he leave it for the housekeeping staff to deal with it? This one actually pisses me off a little.  VVV No, the orange stain, chemical odor, and feeling sick after drinking coffee is from some dumbass melting his cheese in the coffee pot.

Here's a lifehack for hotel coffee makers that THEY don't want you to know. "They" being the DEA. http://www.waff.com/story/5980064/think-twice-before-using-hotel-room-coffee-pots quote:Ask just about anyone in law enforcement, and they'll tell you to be careful if you ever brew coffee in a hotel room. I am 99% sure this is a hoax. But if it doesn't work in real life, that makes it even more of a lifehack!

It's as sad now as it was then.

LIFEHACK: Tired of cold butter ruining your morning toast experience? Hold a knife in the toaster while your bread is toasting, and it'll be nice and hot to soften up that creamy butter.

I don't know why they chose meth as the drug as choice, which is a freaking chemistry process as anyone who's even heard of Breaking Bad knows. If they had said something like ketamine, maybe that'd be a bit more believable.

If they had said something like ketamine, maybe that'd be a bit more believable. The method they use in Breaking Bad (the "biker meth" method) is rather complex and difficult to do, however there are a number of ways that are much simpler and less time intensive. While the BB method is still used by large criminal syndicates, your average tweaker probably uses the "shake and bake" method which is dead simple and basically involves throwing all the poo poo into a single container and then hoping it doesn't explode (this is very common).

Yeah I've done that when I've been travelling and stuff when you don't really have options for nearby food (Some of the hotels near the airport in Pheonix and San Fran have this issue IIRC). But its the kind of thing you do because you have to not the kind of thing you make infographics for.

My favorite life hacks are "copycat" recipes for poo poo like Reeses Peanut Butter Cups or Heinz Ketchup, as though you would save time or money making your own versions of these cheap, ubiquitous products. I guess you get some DIYer cachet?

Lifehack for USA: buy an electric kettle EVEN if it takes 2 minutes to boil the water instead of 1 minute like it does in the rest of the world. If my kettle would suddenly decide to half rear end its job and boil the water 5 minutes longer than it used to, it would probably take me 6 months to notice that something's wrong. Why? Cause nobody hovers over the kettle waiting for it to boil, they just put it on and go do something else and when they come back they find some delicious hot water ready to make tea/coffee/ramen/fake cheese condiment.
