Stack plates on top of shot glasses for that stylish yet precarious look! Found some twigs and mouldy wood in the garden? Use them to decorate your house! Out of ideas entirely? Glue a plastic animal to it, that always looks good!

I feel like at the point where you're hanging earrings off a cheese grater, it might be worth it to buy a jewelry organizer. They're like $8 on Amazon.

Some of those are actually pretty nice, provided you actually take the time to make them properly. I live by a beach and I've made some cool stuff out of driftwood before, but it wasn't exactly quick or easy and I could see most people just slapping some moldy sticks together like you said. Nice stuff usually requires effort which is why lifehacks are so inherently terrible.

I feel like this is just common sense. #idiothacks


Stick a sack of potatoes in that emergency kit so you can cut one up at a moment's notice and smear the starch all over the inside of your windows! Or just get a roll of anti-fogging wipes. They're like six bucks.


But not when you're the driver and actively driving, you fuckstick.

I love it when hacks are "use a highly specialized item for the purpose it was designed to do."

Scheduled to premiere in January, “Hack My Life” is described as a “humorous and practical life-hack series that puts a comedic spin on the never-ending supply of everyday life hacks.”
As part of the initiative, viewers will be invited to share their own hacks via hackmylifetrutv.tumblr.com, with each week’s best hack chosen to be featured on the show.

That glass one reminded me of one that I told my lab students. Wash their safety goggles with shaving cream so they don't fog. Though I suppose a loving potato would work?

A potato?! I just cleaned my windows with shaving cream, which in addition to preventing my windows from fogging up meant that my windows were clean instead of covered with potato. I used to boil a slice of potato to starch linens, but now I use spray starch like a reasonable person. Potatoes can go gently caress themselves.

I freeze a can of shaving cream, then cut it open and toss it in the car. The foam expands filling the entire cabin of the car. No more foggy windows

My diving instructor just told me to spit in my goggles and rinse it off. Seems to have worked fine. I guess that's a life hack or something?

The tagline for this particular video is "he covers a toilet paper roll with tin foil. the results? Brilliant!"
