Depending on exactly how north you are there is Culver's, and that's like a Whataburger with sundaes.

Some repeats, but some are just insanely stupid. Like the suggestion to make an "on-the-go toilet" with a pool noodle and a bucket. Or putting one on the back of your car to protect your bumper.

Holy gently caress, you may make fun, but this is a godsend. I'm literally drowning in old pool noodles. I had to build a second shed in my back yard to store the surfeit of pool noodles. Extra pool noodles were ruining my life, but no longer.

For those that don't watch Top Gear, that was a perfect example of a life hack. Jeremy was having trouble doing hill-starts in his lovely manual-transmission car so he decided to drag a log to roll back onto that would then prevent him from rolling back further. Everyone expected it to go wrong, but not in that particular way.

The pool noodle + crutch combo might be useful, but I feel that the confluence of having to use crutches and having a spare pool noodle is relatively rare.

Hell, I'd probably just go out and buy a pool noodle if I had to use crutches for some reason.

I always see pool noodles at the dollar store, so yea, if I had to use crutches, I probably would get a noodle for them.

They make pretty decent "absolutely will NOT sink" floats for crab/shrimp/crawfish traps, when you don't feel like spending way too goddamn much money on the same red-and-white floats that everybody else uses. Two bucks at the dollar store saved me about $90 for a bunch of traps.

Waste $20 of truffle oil by putting it into any brand of ketchup. Lifehack!

Ketchup with Japanese mayo is pretty good, though.

Black truffle oil is like 10 bucks for a 5oz container and is so far from what truffles really are you may as well put 2 dollars worth into a cup of ketchup

It feels like it started out as one of those intentionally malicious hacks like "rub a potato on the inside of your car windows to prevent them from fogging up!" except the people doing it were too crazy to ever realize that they'd hosed themselves.

How exactly does the potato thing gently caress you up? A quick search yields nothing but people genuinely recommending the advice. Common sense says it would make the streak problem worse, or it would make the inside of your car smell like rotten spud that's been sun-ruined. Are either of those the problem, or is it something I'm not thinking of?

It's ugly as gently caress and feels really chintzy and offers none of the benefit of actual stone countertops.

Let's say you wanted great-looking teeth like the rich folks have so you swished a bunch of liquid paper around in your mouth and then covered your teeth in clear nail polish.

It's that but a counter.

That countertop looks good for the first half glance then you realise that a. It's not actually got the strength of real granite, and b. It looks even less like lazy granite as much as lazy animal print/camoflage. Which is stupid.
