That raises a point too, when was the last time you saw a perfectly square, no weird bits pizza box? I know both Domino's and Pizza Hut have changed their boxes. I'm assuming so that the pizzas don't slide around so they can quit buying those little plastic rings you put in the center.

Palpek posted:Why would you use something as simple as a hook when you could use this: Because the buckler is held by a loose strap, there is no way to attach your keys with a single hand. The buckle would just flap around until you held it in place. Similarly, unbuckling will require some goofy hand posture to hold the buckle in place while you pushed the button AND held the keys, or would again require two hands. So this is a thing that costs more than what it's replacing (a keyring or a hook), is 100% harder to use, and only looks 'cool' because it's different. All requirements met for a fantastic lifehack!

This is the kind of poo poo you throw away behind a persons back to improve their life for them. Then just show them how to prop a phone up against a couple books or something.

What the hell is that person wearing that shows your toes while wearing black hose/socks? I've never seen a woman wearing black hose/stockings with open toed shoes. The only situation I can think of where you'd have to worry about that is when you're a grandpa and want to wear your socks/sandals combo on the beach but your chic black socks have an unfortunate hole. "Mary, bring me the Sharpie..."

I could be wrong, but I think they're trying to use the milk cartons as speakers, like when people stick their phone in a glass? But your first point is still 100% correct. I would throw it away in front of them though. That poo poo definitely calls for an intervention.

The whole point of the rice-phone thing is that rice is cheap and everyone has enough of it in their house to quickly bury a phone in it as an emergency intervention. (Does it really not work? I didn't know that, but I guess it makes sense.) People don't do it because it's the best solution, it's just free and ubiquitous. Rather than buying $40 worth of rice to lamely try and suck the rainwater out of your expensive SUV, you'd be better served buying some dessicants or a dehumidifier designed to handle a job that big. Wasting all that rice to most likely accomplish nothing is just stupid. Get some real tools.

whiteyfats posted:Um, do they know what is sold as wild rice in the US isn't actually rice? They don't know anything. And "wild rice" (Zizania palustris) is fairly closely related to rice (Oryza sativa); the two genuses are part of the same tribe. I mean, it's not crazy that European settlers of North America called Zizania "wild rice" seeing as it was an aquatic grass with edible grains.

I like that the lifehack thread has gone full circle from people posting the urban legend of counterfeit plastic rice to woo-woo new age people declaring rice to be artificial. It's like poetry, it rhymes.
