You gotta give him credit for turning "Fold it and put it on a waffle iron." into 9 steps.

I tried the popcorn hack. What a jip. Popcorn seeds don't come out because they're blocked by the popcorn. And making the bag into a bowl sucks because you get the popcorn oil all over your hands, clothes, or furniture.

Life Hack: Don't eat microwave popcorn because it's loving disgusting and it's not that hard to make popcorn for real.

Not a totally horrible lifehack. You could make some interesting flavours doing it yourself.

But that would be effort, you know most people using that would just be using standard flavours.

This looks like something from Surviving Edged Weapons.

Speaking of which, that video shows various lifehacks for carrying concealed blades. Like one hidden in a lipstick, popular among prostitutes.

Lihehack: the Mexican sacatripe is used for gutting sheep, but it can also be used for other warm-blooded animals.

I'll admit to cutting pizza with clean scissors. It works fine. I'm not sure how that little plastic serving ledge would improve things though.

It's amazing how they've managed to take two things with hundreds, if not thousands, of uses and made something only good for cutting small slices of pizza.

I've cut a pizza plenty of times with a normal, everyday pair of scissors. DID YOU KNOW that if you keep cutting, it goes to the other side? And that you can cut it multiple times to make slices?? MAGIC

This is probably specifically for disabled people who can't handle a jug like that. Niche, but probably pretty good for people who need that kind of assistance. v:shobon:v

e: Yeah the amazon listing is even explicitly from a medical assistance devices company. Way to go, lovely gadget list, including things for people who are actually disabled as great lifehacks. Next we'll see them attaching wheels to their chairs.

Then a happy family happily pouring with that thing, gathered around the table oohing and ahhing. Then the kids pick up the orange juice and smile and laugh at each other.
