This one is fine, just like using colored twist ties, but I like the choice of labels:

Of course using a chair isn't a good idea, that's why that pic came from some kind of ThereIFixedIt type site, not a lifehack site. Don't be stupid.

You are really defensive about this were you abused by a grill or abused at some sort of backyard grilling event?

Nah I just get annoyed when people don't get how the thread works. Why post something that's obviously not a lifehack and laugh at what a bad lifehack it is? Go start a thereifixedit thread and repost the same photo of the pool with the floating sandal electrical grid over and over.

There are about a billion different types of label cable ties.






Great for those with OCD. But it means all my boxes full of old computer and A/V cables are so much easier to sort through.

My fake OCD led me to just color coding with electric tape. Just do a swatch at both ends. Now I don't yank the wrong external hdd.

See, this one is truly bullshit. Maybe the sticker is safe, but you still have to wash that fruit or vegetable, so you might as well rub the sticker off. What is wrong with people that they would think it was better to eat the sticker than remove it? Ugh.

The glue may be safe, but what about the plastic the sticker is made from? Let's all just loving eat plastic.

Need to eat your fruit-roll-up in a jiffy? Don't unroll it and just eat the plastic too, the extra chewing will work out your jaw muscles.

It's not digestible, so that means it is fiber. Fiber is good, right?

It's just a little tidbit of vaguely interesting information. Like a little fact some people wouldn't know. Why are you so angry. It's not like anyone is literally too lazy to remove a sticker, come on.

Uh, I'm not actually angry. I'm sorry if plain text confuses you. Perhaps you should try a comedy website forums where everything is punctuated with helpful smilies. :)

Wait, why do you have to wash the food first? Is your supermarket in the habit of selling food coated in bird poo poo and dirt? Because I think it might be time to find a better store.

Yes, fruit is dirty, it grows outdoors and is often sprayed with pesticides and yeah, sometimes comes into contact with dirt and feces. Wash your fruits.

I'm afraid we have no time for codes and manners.
Fruit processing plants coat the fruits with waxes and preservatives before they ship so they have the maximum sparkly shelf life, then they're in the back of a hopefully clean truck, then they're in a supermarket warehouse staffed by teenagers with probably mostly adequate hygiene.

Or don't wash your fruit, that's cool too.
