I like how it also suggests not going into rooms that may be bugged because "Whole rows or columns of hotel rooms can be bugged and they'll push foreigners into them!", but gives no advice on how to actually tell if your room is bugged or how to identify if you're being suspiciously booked.

It is spring, and that means time for stupid garden hacks.   Apparently there are people out there who need to grow infinite amounts of basil, but don't know how to find basil seeds. Must. Grow. More. Basil.  Okay, if you really want to, I guess. The egg shells won't have any drainage unless you also poke holes in the bottom and carefully deconstructing your eggs to get the shells just right doesn't sound like a good time to me. The lemon peals might work depending on acid level, but how many lemons do you eat? The toilet paper rolls are technically biodegradable, but it will take years to happen in an average garden. This all seems terribly unnecessary. I mean, you can buy biodegradable peat pots for pennies each.  Oh god, why? These things are going to be incredibly lovely to use and look like garbage. Even plastic trowels that were designed to be trowels are a pain to use compared to metal trowels. You can get a metal trowel for a couple bucks that will last for years. Why would you do this thing? These next three were listed as garden hacks, but seem more like hoarder/trailer park hacks to me.  Got a bunch of old colanders you don't use? Turn them into planters!  Got a bunch of old keys you don't use? Turn them into a rachet wind chime.  Is the city threatening to fine you if you don't clean up all the old tires littering you yard? Turn them into planters!

Looking again that collander one is especially stupid. It is only supported on two sides by chains, which means it is going to be susceptible to flipping and dumping everything on the ground. Like a animal. You piece of poo poo.

old tires are pretty dangerous if the rubber starts separating and exposes the metal wires. Like casually running your hand around it or rolling it around and one of the ends of the jagged wires pierces through your hand. I don't know how reasonable it is, but I don't like seeing people casually play with used tires like that.

As long as the centre of gravity stays below the hooks it's stable, so I guess the colander hack is to grow trailing plants, not loving apple trees.

The basil one is nice actually, growing basil from a seed can be a pain and if you have a healthy plant it makes sense to clone it rather than starting from scratch. No idea where your life has gone wrong though where it couldn't be improved a lot by more basil. Basil is delicious.

Of all these lifehacks this is the one that finally loving gets me. He says the cork leaves residue on the inside of the bottle, so wait for it to cool down and wipe it out! The whole process + cooling time is 5+ minutes. You could find literally any other way to open a goddamn bottle of wine. That was the singularity of over-complicating a process.

I see a lot of people who just tie their laces in a granny knot, tuck the leftover lace inside the shoe, then never untie them again, so that video might actually be helpful and mindblowing to some. It seems like tying shoes is something that just isn't taught to kids anymore.

It's easier for dyslexic kids to learn to write and read in cursive. A shitload of primary source historical documents are in cursive, and your kid should be able to read them. It helps develop fine motor skills. It looks baller as hell if you've got good cursive handwriting.

Facebook Aunt posted:It is spring, and that means time for stupid garden hacks. There are some dumb garden lifehacks out there, but these ones really aren't that weird or bad (the milk carton shovel and painted keys are really stupid, though I agree with another poster that those look like project activities for kids more than anything). A lot of gardening tips like this are for people who want to reduce their impact on the environment, so the emphasis is on finding other uses for things rather than throwing them away or finding ways of doing things that are less wasteful/harmful to the environment. Growing your own herbs is pretty awesome, and growing from cuttings is much easier and than growing from seeds. Herbs are awesome for cooking, and fresh herbs are so much better. When you want something to start seedlings in, you aren't looking for a long term solution. Eggshells and gardening go together like goons and neckbeards. The eggshells don't have drainage, but that doesn't matter because you don't water seedlings too much - you just keep them damp because otherwise their tiny babby roots rot if they get too wet. You only keep them in something like that very short term while they are getting established. Then when you plant them out into a pot or garden, the eggshell breaks up and provides calcium and minerals to the soil around the roots for the plant as it grows. People putting eggshells in compost or at the bottom the holes when planting things is really common because eggshells are a good, free source of minerals as the shell breaks down. Eggshells are just thin layers of minerals, and plants thrive on that poo poo. I also don't know what kind of crazy toilet paper rolls you have, but cardboard breaks down really quickly when exposed to water. They last maybe a couple weeks? Toilet paper rolls break down so much faster than any biodegradable pots that you can buy. I've not seen biodegradable peat pots for that cheap either, and if you are trying to be friendly to both the environment and your wallet (which a lot of these garden tips are aimed at), then you want to avoid or at least reduce peat usage as much as possible. As someone else mentioned, using old tyres for planting things in is not really new. I think you're somewhat missing the point and the target audience of these kind of ideas. Finding ways to reuse tyres isn't because the city is threatening to fine you because you are trailer trash living in some overflowing scrap heap trash yard. It's because tyres are a huge source of environmental waste, and people want to find ways to reduce some of the harm that is being caused by the incredible amount of tyres being produced and dumped every year. Here there was a community project awhile back where people took loads of used tyres, painted them bright colours like in the picture you posted, and placed them around the town as planters with flowers in them. They look great - add a lot of colour as well as more flowers and plants to the community while also making use of a massive waste product that's difficult to dispose of.
