The random selection of spaghettis make me think this picture comes from an "extreme couponer" which I'm honestly surprised hasn't been brought up yet as the ultimate stupid lifehack. These are folks that turn coupon clipping into a fulltime job. They get five or six concurrent newspaper subscriptions to maximize coupon intake, then go to stores gaming the system using a three inch stack of coupons to get 20 boxes of Reese's puffs and a palette of ramen for $1.50. They never buy the things they want but rather what they can get for pennies on the dollar, and end up with a massive hoard of food that expires before they can ever make use of it.

It's weird walking into folks houses and seeing stacks of coupons and enough mismatched food products to open up their own store. Yet newspaper companies hold seminars teaching folks about the system and in the process making bank selling subscriptions so that these folks can get even more coupons.

I know someone who does the whole extreme couponing thing, but they pretty much donate everything they get to food banks, homeless shelters, etc. Which is the only real excuse I can think of for the whole thing that isn't a complete and utter waste.

#lifehack drink about half your recommend daily water intake and destory the bacteria in your guts to save on water!


Seriously consumer household water use is such a small percent of total water usage. Flushing your toilet a few times a day isn't the problem. That might use about 10 gallons a day. In retrospect it takes 1.1 gallons of water to make a single almond.

And holy poo poo messing with your bacteria is a bad idea. my cousin nearly died from loving up his bacteria. He lost most of his body weight and has never fully recovered. To do that on propose is insane.

Wait how exactly are people "destroying their bacteria" by drinking some concoction they made based on a recipe off the internet. What the hell is in this stuff that it fucks up their intestinal flora to the point that they need a poop transplant?

I mean I imagine it must be some kind of non-food biocide that people normally would never think to consume, if it weren't for this snake-oil salesman telling them it was fine.

No it wasn't the soylent, he deliberately destroyed his gut bacteria by taking antibiotics known for killing gut bacteria. On purpose. So he wouldn't poop.

some idiot posted:

Feces are almost entirely deceased gut bacteria and water. I massacred my gut bacteria the day before by consuming a DIY Soylent version with no fiber and taking 500mg of Rifaximin, an antibiotic with poor bioavailability, meaning it stays in your gut and kills bacteria. Soylent's microbiome consultant advised that this is a terrible idea so I do not recommend it. However, it worked. Throughout the challenge I did not defecate.

It wasn't people, it was one very dumb nerd that took a high dose of an antibiotic with poor bioavailability, allowing more of it to get to his gut flora where it can destroy his life. As an experiment to reduce his water waste. He also stopped wearing jeans and completely stopped pooping.

This is also the dumb nerd that made the horse poo poo that is Soylent. I've looked at the ingredients for it. I can make it for like 1/3rd of its price (while being better for you in every possible way) at any decent "custom protein" site. gently caress that guy.

I think people need poop transplants when they've had that c. diff infection in hospital and the strong antibiotics needed to combat that destroy all their natural intestinal bugs.

Having seen a friend suffer with that infection, I cannot understand why anyone would put themselves through it deliberately. hosed up.

I'm not trying to defend extreme couponers here, but if any of them actually do something a stupid as have five or six newspaper subscriptions, then they are complete idiots.

Most of them get as many newspaper coupon inserts as they can for free. Either they get them from friends and family who won't use them, or they fish them out of dumpsters. And then on top of that they get the rest from coupon clipping websites. And I don't mean something like coupons.com (though I'm sure they use that, too) but websites where you buy physical coupons that someone else got and clipped out. They tend to cost $0.04 - $0.10 per coupon. My GF does some couponing...not NEARLY the level the crazies on TV do it. She gets one or two inserts for free a week from friends or coworkers, and looks at coupons.com, then matches them to any store sales. She spends maybe an hour a week doing it while watching TV or something...usually the drat Extreme Couponing show, or it's cousin, Extreme Cheapskates.

That being said, doing it to the levels they do on TV is stupid. For one, getting even a part-time job for those 20 hours a week they do couponing would probably help better, and two, no one needs a "stockpile" of fifty bottles of yellow mustard, seventy packs of sugar-free gum, and a hundred boxes of Cap'n Crunch (don't get me wrong, I love me some Cap'n Crunch, but that's overdoing it.)

Plus, what you see on TV can never happen in real life, anyway. No grocery store would let you tie up a register for three hours during checkout so you can run all of your purchases as five different transactions so that you don't break their "limit of 5 of the same coupon per order" policy. But since the stores get to be on TV, I'm sure they get compensated by TLC, so are more than willing to do it then.

Granted I've never seen the TV show so I don't know what exact level of insanity they get to, but I've seen plenty of stories of horrible couponers tying up register, splitting transactions, etc, maybe not for hours, but to the point it's still lovely because a lot of managers will bend over backwards to not lose a customer.

People think they are entitled to whatever time at the register they want, and store policy is usually to never anger a customer no matter what. I think the only difference between reality and the show is generally that the crew doesn't want to film at the hours extreme coupon weirdos normally go to stores, so they set up midday shoots.

We used to get them at a Target I worked at. Generally they'd buy vast stacks of toothpaste or something with a manufacturer's 2 for 1 coupon, then return them all, knowing that manufacturer coupons weren't recognized in our system so we were basically paying out double their investment in returns. It took hours of standing there returning toothpastes to make a hundred bucks or something, but the sort of people that would do it were the sort that would do anything at all for "free money" and so they were very shameless. The only thing they generally learned was to do it late at night, because while Target staff literally can't say a drat thing to them about it, the people behind them in line can, and that was where all the altercations came from.
