Lifehack: Do some research before you post on Facebook about that new awesome cancer cure that BIG PHARMA is hiding from you. Snopes and/or Wikipedia will normally do the trick! I wish my friend's girlfriend posts this sort of stuff - all she posts about is alternative medicine, OMG stop arms trade, and animal rights. She is a vegan too  And fat

I would think the plastic outside would melt before the inside. Then again I wouldn't be putting dice in the oven in the first place so I'm probably not an expert at life hacking.

I'm picturing some fedora-clad brony arguing at length with a vegas craps dealer about how they need to let him use his own, slightly burnt, deformed pair of dice and if not he'll report them to the BBB, loving fascists and what, hey don't you loving dare touch me, you can't throw me out I'm a sovereign citizen, I know my rights man

Dungeons & Dragons, yo.  Why you'd "set" your dice to 5 and 2 I don't know, because 7 is exactly the average on 2d6 anyway. Maybe if you want to cheat but not draw attention to your results and also be really ineffective at it.

Hard plastics like dice are made from thermosetting plastics which do not melt. It'll chard and burn, but it won't melt. So not only is the dice hack stupid on its face, it's also patently unworkable.

Need that flat stomach before the end of beach season? Contract food poisoning! The lack of calories from your now non-existent appetite along with the core crushing workout of throwing up every 15 mins will leave you with that beach body you've always desired in no time.

The worst are the ones that are borderline or straight up harmful or dangerous for the sake of being really cheap (such as the toothpaste mints.)

Nerd trap about to be sprung: I heard about the heat-up-dice trick back when I started to roleplay, and since most roleplayers bring their own dice to games, it makes a little more sense to load them. That said, even if this trick worked (and the version I heard used the microwave, which seems even less plausible), it'd be nigh-instantly obvious. Use this ONE NEAT TRICK to get kicked out of your D&D group without having to just admit you don't like those dudes anymore!

Also most six sided dice you get in games like Monopoly or whatever are already weighted towards 6's. This is why Casino dice are specially drilled or printed flat. The one side has the least material drilled from it ergo it is the heaviest.

Idiots. Everyone knows that if you want the dice to roll the right way you keep them in your ~girlfriend's~ bra*. *If girlfriend not available, the person at the intersection between largest boobs and lowest self-esteem will substitute.

All dice favor certain numbers anyway due to subtle differences in their composition created by random errors. All you'd have to do is run a whole load of trials to find out which side is favored the most. Seems like a lot of life hacks are just finding solutions to problems that never actually existed in the first place and preferably solving them by sawing ice cream tubs in half and oreos.

Actually machined out on a milling machine and each dot is drilled then refilled with an identical but white plastic to ensure weight distribution.

Pomp posted:Why don't they force you to use dice provided to you? Probably because 40k players are fetishistic about their dice, actually believe that casino dice are "more random" and need literal handfuls of dice to accomplish anything, meaning that trying to provide enough house dice for a tournament would be prohibitively difficult and would lead to a crazy amount of nerd whining (the worst kind of whining).
