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

DID YOU KNOW a good quality pizza cutter is only like $5 and works much faster than a random pair of scissors from your junk drawer?

It figures that JeffK would find siracha disgusting

If you relish the thought of dual-wielding condiment guns at your next barbeque, you can buy the mustard gun at ThinkGeek.

Most people use a knife, kabob skewer, chopstick, or toothpick for this rather than buying specialized equipment that they don't need.

Oven-cleaning lifehack (involving boiling ammonia) puts woman in coma:

Danish paper (machine translation)

e: Here is an English version that has been going around :siren: do not attempt :siren::

quote:

You will need:
  • 250 ml ammonia
  • 1000 ml boiling water
  • 2 ovenproof containers
  1. The night before doing the cleaning, heat up your oven to 150 degrees C (300F)
  2. Boil the water, put it in one of the containers
  3. Put the ammonia in the other container
  4. Turn off the oven
  5. Put the container with ammonia on a grate in the middle of the oven, put the container with water on the floor of the oven. Close the oven
  6. Go to bed and look forward to cleaning your oven the next day
  7. Mix the ammonia with dishwasher soap and apply it around the oven
  8. Use an ice scraper, or similar, to peel the poo poo off from the inside of the oven
What happens is the ammonia mixes with water vapours and loosens all the poo poo in the oven. This is much more effective than commercial oven cleaners and you don't have to breathe in all those uncomfortable gasses.

Wait, why is using a pizza cutter - a tool designed exclusively for the purpose of cutting a loving pizza - more weird than using a knife? I would think scissors are more common/normal than a knife.

Whenever I have friends coming over, I used this one weird trick that farmers hate!

Toilets can be used for so much more than poo poo and pee pee. If company is coming over, put a few dozen eggs in the toilet (make sure to flush at least twice before) and place several tea lights underneath. In just a short while you will have many, many eggs that you and your friends can smash into your mouth!

Lifehack: put a pocket knife in your pocket. If you need to cut something, take the knife back out of your pocket and cut. Walla, no more wandering around the house looking for specialized cutters that only cut pizza, dental floss, plastic contraptions, scissors, and goggles and poo poo.
