From an article on themetapicture titled "How to Properly Use These 10 Every Day Objects In Other Ways". Use your old credit cards as guitar picks! By the way, buy The PickmasterTM!  Glue bottle caps to an old mirror to make something that looks like a cheap elementary school project. I honestly like this application.  This is just ugly as sin.  So is this. Is it supposed to be a centerpiece or the world's most inefficient hand mirror?   You know what I love? Stumbling around in the dark after using the bathroom trying to find the edge of the bed. Three out of five times, my knee finds it first. I love splinters too.

 Or use a knife. I've noticed people are a bit obsessed with using pizza cutters as "life hacks"   Or use a goddamn regular string! Goddammit! It's cheaper than dental floss! Edit: Oh dear,God.

This one isn't too bad, but I would think you'd have to keep refilling those things constantly at a party. Better off just leaving the ketchup, mustard, etc. in it's regular bottle. Here's one where most of the hacks aren't hacks, just lists of things that are available at O'Hare Airport. A few are good recommendations, but most are dumb, or not even available to 95% of people at O'Hare. http://www.thrillist.com/entertainment/chicago/o-hare-chicago-airport-hacks-tips-parking-wi-fi-and-more #1 - Probably a good tip, but really it's not about the charger, it's because Tortas Frontera is the best place to eat in the airport. #2 - A hack that involves using your United Airlines membership card, that I'm sure everyone has. What a hack! #3 - A hack for people who are so desperate for a drink they have to do so while standing in line. #4 - This one is ok, but involves what is likely to be very limited street parking, and then using a hotel shuttle for free. Probably the least dumb one, but I wouldn't use it if you're pressed for time. #5 - This hotel isn't really inside the airport, it's like a good 15 minute walk from the terminals and will include a security check on your way back. #6 - Another great hack for people who already have a specific credit card, fantastic! #7 - Not a bad recommendation, but walking terminal to terminal takes time as well. #8 - Again, not a hack, just a feature that O'Hare offers. #9 - Another non-hack, and only in one specific terminal #10 - Free wifi, great! Except it only applies to Time Warner customers. Time Warner doesn't serve the Chicago area, or most of the Midwest for that matter. #11 - I've been stuck at terminal #2 before, sometimes it's great, sometimes not. It's the shortest, but moves slower because they have less staff there. Probably not worth going all the way over to a separate terminal to save yourself 5-10 minutes in security, you'll spend more time walking.

I'm sure they already sell stuff like that for condiments that looks way more prettier. And yeah, it's much better to keep everything on its regular bottle. Also, this:

So it's a fancier (hah!) TV dinner. For the dessert brownie thing it looks like they just filled up one of the tins in two different pans and baked it like that. That's really...counter-intuitive. Also a really excellent way to incorporate teflon shavings into your "meal".

I read that unflavored, unwaxed dental floss works as an extra strong thread on some lifehack post. My sister is autistic and has a stuffed rabbit with some weak stitching in parts. After 10 years, that bunny was falling apart and my mother's attempts to stitch it back together kept coming loose. She tried all sorts of thread and yarns to no success. I suggested dental floss and the rabbit has held together for years now.  You win this time, life hacks.

When I make pancakes, they're soft and fluffy enough that even the side of the fork is enough to cut them. Just press and scoop. You could eat them with a spoon if you wanted. Oh poo poo, new life hack!

We use a bread knife because floss hadn't reach my country when my grandma was in her prime. drat to hell third world countries.But just as I learned a new use for floss, I just learned that pans can save your life! They work for anything!!  Make your parties fancier   And you can even serve soup!

This makes me unreasonably angry. It's the opposite of a hack. It would make your life HARDER. Having an orgy? Dump all your guests on the floor and eat their genitals off the floor like an animal you piece of poo poo.
