Oh hey I'm a hotel maid! If someone did that with cheese it would make me blind with impotent rage and you would get shoddy service for the rest of your stay. Don't do that.

I first thought this meant he recorded the shows at 2x speed, and played them back at 1/2x speed (meaning normal speed) to save storage space on his DVR, which might actually be clever if it could somehow work (albeit way too much effort). Instead it's just "Lifehack: Tired of wasting so much time watching a single episode of your favorite show? Press the fast-forward button!"

Oh God. How broke do you have to be to not be able to afford the crappy mints from the dollar store? And if you're too broke afford it, why would it any better to waste more than $1 worth of toothpaste for making poisonous toothpaste mints that can put your partygoers into the hospital?

I can imagine that magazine's next lifehack:
"Run out of juice for your party's mixed alcoholic beverages? Siphon some coolant from your car for a quick substitute! Tastes sweet, with a cool blue/pink colour!"

I mean, eating toothpaste probably isn't great, but I wouldn't put too much stock in what you find on a website agitating against water fluoridation.

This was a person in their loving twenties.

I have a friend on a different forum that's at least in his 60s and is...unusual. He'll be often talking about movies he's watched, and will pepper his descriptions with things like how he would watch certain scenes slowed down to normal speed or with the sound on, like that's the unusual way to watch them. He used to also describe taping over his vhs films with static when he'd "studied" them enough. He is a very strange man...

poo poo, I have to confess I did something like this once. I had moved into a new rental place and it smelled like dead old people so I decided that no mere can of spray would be good enough and bought half a dozen bottles of lavender essential oil and dumped a full bottle into a bowl of water in each room of the house.

Swear to god you could smell it in space.

My girlfriend has a thing she got from her mom's work that basically does this. You pour essential oils or hydrosol into a little glass bulb and it pumps out some good smelling steam.

It's basically a vaporizer for smellgoods.

This happens often when working on cars because there's just too much poo poo in the way or it's simply out of line of sight, though usually it's not screws but bolts that you need to undo.

Because these 'life hacks' are mostly just 'mildly helpful advice' and often veer into 'batshit retarded idiocy' so seeing them presented in such smug image-macro form triggers the raging ape cortex in my brain like nothing else.
