Lifehack: cut up your hot dogs into small bites, eat them with ketchup and a fork. Remember what being a small child was like, use the feeling to do something constructive.

In the name of science I just corkscrewed a sausage that I ate with breakfast.

It worked pretty ok.

Might do it for some kids who might actually give a gently caress.

(was pretty fun to do a spiral of ketchup on the sausage tho)

I don't corkscrew, but I do slash my hotdogs before I broil them because it adds extra surface area for searing, same basic concept on the corkscrew though. Tastes good, man.

Yeah, gently caress it, next time I want a hot dog I'm making it a duck dick dog.

I think they're what we (and the rest of the Commonwealth) call saveloys.




You know, I haven't had a "little boy" in years. Feeling quite peckish.

Nope, what most Americans refer to as 'hot dogs' are a type of sausage closer to the frankfurter.

But yeah, when it comes to sausages and buns, it's like Tiny Brontosaurus says, the combo is still only referred to by the sausage type. A brat(wurst) and a (hot) dog are two similar but distinct meals.

As an American living in Germany, I was somewhat startled and confused the first time I ordered a hot dog at a stand and got a sausage that was definitely not a hot dog in a bun. It wasn't a bad sausage by any means, mind you. Just not what I expected.

Here's the How It's Made segment on American hot dogs. Some people are disgusted by the process. I'm not particularly bothered, which is a good thing, since my daughter is obsessive about How It's Made. She loves this episode in particular, so I've seen it probably a hundred times.

Vienna sausages are prettymuch canned hotdogs if that helps anyone? Unless the US variety of those is different from the rest of the world as well, which wouldn't surprise me.

Friend of my sister did this and now they have a black ring on their coffee table.


Throw it in the dishwasher, then rinse it with cold water and thoroughly wring it, but for god's sake don't microwave your sponges. My mom did that and not only did it seem to promote the growth of mildew, it made the house smell like she was microwaving a wet dog.

Maybe she didn't do it long enough? Or maybe she let her sponge get way too disgusting first? I microwave my dish sponge weekly and it makes smell fresh and last about 5x longer, and it certainly doesn't stink up my kitchen or anything else. Just get it wet, throw it in a glass, and microwave it for a couple of minutes. Just make sure to run some cool water over it before you use it or you'll burn the poo poo out of your hands.

As a bonus, the steam from it softens up any nastiness you might have going on in your microwave, so it's a good time to give the interior of your microwave a weekly cleaning.

What was it in then? usually when I get a hot dog here it's in a bun but with remoulade, crispy onions and pickles.

Depends on the brand. A good hot dog should have more spice and be smoked. But some people are meek and want bologna in a long bun so that's why Oscar Meyer exists.

Also, natural casings are delicious and anyone who says they are gross are too squeamish to be eating dead animals at all.

This is highly likely. My parents don't have a dishwasher either. All I know is that the smell permeated the entirety of the house and I'd find all kinds of excuses to run errands outside.

I just pop them in with the whites when I do a load and they get washed and bleached. (Skip the dryer.) Seems to work well. Nothing lasts forever, but this gets a couple months out of them. I'm not putting funky poo poo in my microwave.

If you get to the point where you think microwaving your socks is the best way to clean them, then yes please throw them out.

Tomatoes are the only thing Subway will just keep giving you if you ask for more politely. I routinely ask for "triple tomatoes" on my sub because gently caress you its awesome. Someone once told me they do the same for Spinach as well. This seems like the kind of lifehack thing people would talk about because you gots to maximize your 5 dollar footlong profits.

My wife once took the time to write to Subway complaining that the guy there wouldn't put as many tomatoes as she wanted on a sandwich, stating that he couldn't because "the sandwich won't close". (My wife really likes tomatoes.)

I had a pair of jeans where the zipper wouldn't stay up so I tried the keychain ring trick. Saved me from having to replace a pair of pants that were in great condition! Also any sort of "life hack" that involves cleaning something by rubbing it in nothing but water and baking soda is just going to leave you another mess to deal with.

From what I understand, Subway policy is 'six pieces' of any vegetable, and each request for extra gets an additional six.

Some places are really anal about corporate, so they put on six olives.

1) Check out @dickmaggot50's recipe for toilet bread
2) Read through 25 common household meat replacements for some great meat substitues!
3) Take a stroll through your "neighborhood garden" and forage for 17 edible rocks!
4) Make cheese by leaving a half-gallon of whole milk under your deck for 12 weeks!
5) If you are out of mustard or tomatoes, just substitute 4 cups of mayo.

This is correct - though my policy was always follow corporate, then if they ask for more, just scoop that poo poo on because I am being paid minimum wage so gently caress it.
