I know why the battery one is stupid beyond belief (and along the same lines as the "how to make cool crystals" "life hack") but what exactly would the water-in-gas tank do? Just stop the car from running and require the lines to be drained and refilled with gas, or something worse?

Need a smoke, but you forgot your lighter? Here's an easy way to light up!

First, find a parabolic mirror. You should be able to find one laying around.

Second, use a bit of wire to hold the end of the cigarette near the focal point of the mirror.

Third, point this contraption toward a nearby nuclear detonation.

I thought that was the entire point of these.

Did you know that you can make your own gold at home? Just boil ordinary rubbing alcohol on your stove top and drop in any item made of stainless steel or lead. This is the same process that gets used on an industrial scale before gold is sold to you save $$$!!

Also, mouthwash is just gasoline being sold at a higher price per gallon.

I don't think anyone cares much if you post it here, I think he means that in general its probably a bad idea to leave literally lethal advice on the internet under the guise of real information. People regularly miss that The Onion is satire, you cannot make up something dumb enough that someone else won't try it.

The general concept of "life hacks" is pretty sound, even if the name is kind of dumb. They're supposed to be time- or money-saving shortcuts that improve your quality of life somehow.

Instead it's become Pinterest for the twentysomething internet manchild demographic.

Oh wah! No one is forcing the stupid birds to use the ugly upcycled shoenest. They could take a minute from making noise and pooping to build their own nests if they didn't like living in human refuse.

I hope that like me, you're objecting to the eyesore of shoes nailed to the sides of trees and not somehow thinking that the shoenest is causing emotional or physical suffering to the birds using them.

Exactly. They do not give a poo poo what it looks like if it suits their purpose.
