You can get bottle caps off with your teeth, it just takes practice.

In what strange circumstances would you have nothing to open a bottle with but a pair of eyelash curlers :psyduck:

And you take eyelash curlers instead of, say, nail file.

Cause they're always on hand? Cause you're a fancy bitch? Cause your rear end is in retail, and the only gap in the panopticon that is your workplace where a gal can have a moment in peace is behind that one shelf in beauty? See? Not that weird? Do I have to hack everything together for you?

Much, much more.
Legit it's pretty easy to open a non-twist bottlecap by folding a piece of paper a whole bunch and just using it as a lever. Good way to get a fiver off of folks too; "I bet I can open this bottle with a sheet of paper," etc.

I think that still fits in the thread as a stupid hack because it makes you look like a smug bastard, so

The only person who would actually use that product is bound to be such a massive drunk that they can't hold on to a glass of wine, so there's probably already wine on their clothes.

Why does every instructional video on youtube always have a seemingly mandatory solid minute+ of fluff before they actually get to the instructions?

Also lifehack: just buy exclusively twist top beers if you don't want to have to worry about not being able to open your beer.

Same reason that infomercials have a few seconds of black-and-white clips of people doing stupid poo poo. They need to let you know what dumb problem they're trying to solve, because it's very rarely a problem that needs any further solving.

Which can cause micro fractures in your teeth, weakening them to the point of them cracking and breaking. Chewing ice or other hard objects can also hurt your teeth this way. Then you have to pay to get them fixed!

Or if you want a more drastic potential problem, I was at a party and a guy with self-admittedly poor dental hygiene did the mouth trick he'd done loads of times before and ripped out a tooth.

Yup. Older eggs are much better for hardboiled eggs because the membrane holding the shell to the white has degraded and as such much easier to peel.

flosofl posted:

I'll make it clear. If you buy eggs to boil, let them sit in your fridge for about week before you boil. Otherwise you will be cursing life as you try to peel them.

Peel eggs with a glass of water instead (let them chill in cold water a couple minutes first)

Same reason it's a video in the first place when written instructions with photos or illustrations would almost always be more useful: Because the person who made it wants attention more than they want to be helpful.

Get a german. Theres usually one around (check behind the fridge or under the bed) and they willingly demonstrate their ability to open a beer with anything down to a loving wet noodle.
