I did that when I was a little kid. Not for attention, just revelling in the power a bic lighter appears to be, to a 5 year old. You know that cotton webbing they used to put on the bottom of box springs? Suuuuuuper flammable.

Too simple and commonsensical to be a proper lifehack.

I've seen "put your keys in a bowl or on a hook near your door so you don't lose them" touted as a genuine LifeHack enough to have an instinctual eye roll reaction to that. Throw in Lego for extra shareability.

Goddammit. How is going to the store to purchase a wall-mounted keyhook, a product that has existed for decades and comes in a million different styles so it can compliment your decor, a lifehack?

LIFEHACK - use dishes to contain food while you eat! Watch your TV for entertainment! poo poo in your toilet to prevent staining your rug! WALLA! #HACKEDASFUCK

I made a keyholder out of a network jack and made a keychain out of a rj45 plug. It's stupid, yet nerdy and functional all the while costing more than a keyhook.

Some people have a Lego USB stick key chain which would make something like this pretty handy I guess :shrug: (Only without the terrible Lego writing.)

When I was in 8th grade, everyone was doing this. I was telling my doctor about it, and I don't remember why, but he wanted to see it. I showed him, and flipped the breaker switch for his entire office wing.

There's plenty of things wrong with drinking wine out of teacups, before you even get to adding stems to them.

I think the blue block has a hole through it and is attached to the keyring, so it's actually got two studs. And you just stick the keys anywhere on the thingy, and get more hole-blocks to stick on extra keys, making it an expandable storage solution.

I just want to share this solution I invented for hanging my hats from their velcro closures.

It's hard to keep the hangar level and it annoys me



Remove the cardboard support on the bottom of the hangar



Center the hangar on the doorknob



And pull like so



And now your hangar will stay centered on the doorknob

I just picked up this magazine in Kyoto:



There used to be a perfectly acceptable native Japanese term for this stuff (urawaza, which is also used for video game cheats and tricks; I already have at least one urawaza book from several years back), but no.

I'll let the thread know if I find anything particularly egregious.

In Finland we have this decades-old (since 1974) life hack tradition of Niksi-Pirkka. There's only one restriction: all the niksit must utilize old pantyhose.



You can make rhythm eggs out of the plastic shells inside chocolate eggs by filling them with macaroni, rice, or sugar. You can also make a sound-based game of Concentration this way. [:confused:]

Make holes in the plastic shells from chocolate eggs, put felting wool inside them, and chuck them in the washer. You get felt beads!

You can crush pepper with a garlic press. [I have a pepper mill but no garlic press. who the gently caress has a garlic press?]

Stack two plates on top of each other when heating food in the micro. The lower one only warms up a little so you won't burn your fingers.

Solution for mountain of dirty dishes: I discarded most of the dishes. Now I have to do dishes more often, but less at a time. [:vince:]

Glasses that taper downwards fit into the cupboard more easily when you place them alternatively upright and upside-down. [or, you know, you could stack them like you're supposed to since that's why they taper]

I unscrewed and saved the stand bracket from an old ironing board. I got a fine [sic] and sturdy four-hook horizontal coat hook.

An old telephone catalogue is a handy base for gluing. Just turn a new page after every gluing.

The backs of stud earrings often get lost. You can make a handy replacement by slicing a bit off the eraser on a pencil.

Necklace in a knot? Put some baby oil on the knot, give it a moment, and open the knot with a pin.

Bend a black drinking straw behind your ear, so that you can babble to yourself as much as you want. Everyone thinks you're talking into a cell phone ear piece. No more embarrassment.

The millions of dust particles floating about, revealed by the Spring sun, are just a matter of attitude:
- How wonderful, the house is full of faerie dust, remarked four-year-old Frida.

Try out the effect of a smile on your surroundings for a week or even for a day. It's incredible how much good cheer you can accomplish by curling your facial muscles! [I don't think that's how muscles work. Also, :barf:]

P.S. This must be fake since no old pantyhose were used :(
