Make a million dollars by going to the hardware store, find a product that you can repurpose for kitchen use, rebrand it and sell at a 1000% markup. This also works with fine art supplies. #richhacks

The adhesive strips thing is a really old thing, you take them off after like two weeks because cats form habits extremely easily and refuse to break them.

It works for those fancy micro-plane graters.

Puppies will play with plastic bottles until the crunch is worn out of the bottle.

We'd fill empty soda bottles with water for my dog. She'd bite into the bottle piercing the plastic and the water would squirt at her, so she'd drop the bottle and bite at it, then nip at it and squirt herself again, etc.

No tubes are being joined. It's a weird perspective down a lawnmower handle. Our hero has duct-taped a can to the handle to act as a bottle/cup holder.

You cut them free. There's a knot between each one. I've actually seen this trick hack before but it's way more fiddly and expensive in the long run than just putting your onions in a bucket in the pantry.

Exactly. If you buy a bag of onions, they already come in a plastic net thing you can just hang up. I guess if you needed to store a ton of loose onions, you'd already know how because the only people I know who store tons of onions are farmers. There's roughly 50 onions in that photo. Who the gently caress is gonna hose and tie off 50 onions?

Here's a lifehack for that person: get a life, man.

I don't know man everytime I go to the gym here there are like two huge dudes with raging high and tights snorting Nitro-tech off of each other's rock hard abs.
If you live way out in the middle of nowhere or grow your own food, I guess this would be a good way to keep the onions longer, but if you're like the people who would be reading life hacks, you could drive 5 minutes and buy another bag of onions for $.89 a pound every couple weeks when the old ones eventually go bad from never cooking your own food in the first place

:dong::yayclod:
If you grow your own food, you'd be tying up onions with the roots still on them so that the outer layers would dry thus "curing" the onion against mildew.

This is just pointless poo poo. Yeah, onions need air, but when they're storebought and missing their roots it's loving dumb to carefully dangle them. It's like buying a lovely wal-mart ham and then wrapping it in twine and hanging it in your basement.
