Five thousand potatoes in my breakfast nook. Why couldn't I think of that?? I guess my brain just isn't smart enough.

The best part is that the article doesn't even have any solution for storing 5000 potatoes.

I got like halfway through before I gave up, but the whole toilet paper roll one isn't too bad, but why even bother with the foil? The roll by itself works just fine. Turning the letter into it's own envelope will almost definitely result in you mailing a bunch of ruined letters by the time they get to their destination.

Almost anything involving a bread tab is stupid, though my dad did use them once in place of washers when he hung a medicine cabinet in the basement bathroom. But has this person really never heard of just folding the tap over a little bit?

A couple of those would be cool for kids though. You could occupy your children with them folding their holiday letters into their own envelopes and wrapping tin foil around cardboard seems like a thing a seven year old would like to do under the guise they are "helping". The shaped pancakes would have been really boss too when I was a kid. There is nothing about them that is in anyway a time saving hack.

I'm going to try the pine thing next time I'm at the home of someone I hate and have a few spare minutes to sneak away to adulterate the air filter into making the place smell like a sawmill.

The cardboard lights wrapper is something I might legitimately use.

I was taught 9 and 3 for airbag reasons. The basic idea is if the airbag is deployed you don't want to punch yourself in the face. I took driving in 2004.

Unless you're over 85, I don't believe that anyone actually drives with their hands at 10 and 2. People that do look like schmucks, and frankly, look like they're new to driving, which makes them dangerous.

If I'm riding my motorcycle and I see someone driving at 10-2, I get away from them asap.

Drive with one hand so you can leer at motorcyclists while beating off with the other.

gently caress that, who saves TP rolls? I just slice off a bit of old wrapping paper tubing and use that. Hell, it's already right there. When I'm done wrapping, all the poo poo goes back into the bin, which goes under the bed, so I'm not going to pretty it up with some drat foil.

I used to save TP rolls when I was in pre-school. We took them in and made puppets and buildings with them.

I used to keep them in middle school when I had hamsters and gerbils. But I still don't see why wrapping paper holders need to be decorative. :confused:

Stop getting mad at video games. No stop insulting his mother what is wrong with you.
And if you want it to be decorative why not use some of the wrapping paper that is literally right there? Use some from a different roll if you want to make it stand out from the rest of the paper on the roll. Why would you go to the bathroom and dig through the trash to get a cardboard tube when the rolls have cardboard in them? Unless you didn't use up a whole roll in which case you are just bad at wrapping presents and should watch some #lifehack videos on how to get better at it. Out of tape but have old chewed gum lying around the house? Instead of throwing it away watch this one quick tip!

Also I cannot get over "The results? Brilliant!". No, in no way were the results brilliant, you rear end. Nothing brilliant ever happened with toilet paper rolls and tin foil, besides maybe their invention separate of each other.

The first two made me think this was a satirical video. Then it got more legit, and that made me really shake my head. I don't care how poor or lazy I am, no one is ever getting anything wrapped in a loving chip bag.

I admit I like the letter folding one, but I wouldn't actually send something like that through the post.

With the lights not getting tangled, all I do is wrap the lights around my hand and then tuck the end. It ends up like a donut of lights and they are never tangled. Don't even need to waste time building a holder out of cardboard!
