the only thing i use dryer sheets for is making my AC wall unit smell better for a day or two and slightly less efficient all of the time, come to think of it. ~*~life hacks~*~ stringless has a new favorite as of 08:46 on Sep 24, 2016 |

 It's a neat enough project for kids that more than likely have smartphones anyway so like, whatever. That gold one he did is pretty good with some touchups.

Why didn't he just use the metal cutting piece to cut the wax paper? Or is that some American novelty where things like that can be cut right from the container?

Every container of wax paper, tin foil, or saran wrap I've ever bought has had a blade built in to the box lip. Is that just an american thing, or am I misunderstanding your question?

The American thing is to go even cheaper and use plastic

Same here. I was asking if that's just something here in America  because we believe in making things easy.

In ol' blighty, manufacturers have cheaped out and removed the metal cutting bit and replaced it with serrated cardboard. Which is about as effective as asking the wax paper to tear in a straight line and then making it tea. So, scissors is a free lifehack for you.

I'll admit I do the last one, writing out longhand in a weird color pen instead of typing notes makes them stick in my brain better. Writing out longhand automatically makes me like nine million times more likely to retain information in the first place, and the colored pen (I like green) is an extra visual cue.

Hack decoder: 3) The hack is to actually bring the index card. 5) The hack is to creatively redefine the words "leave" and "a". That's all I got for hacks.

Here's a hack. Stuff's hard to learn cause it's too abstract and therefore difficult to visualize. Thing is the brain can learn any amount of stupid poo poo and can make positively asinine associations if you just provide it with the right hooks to hang that poo poo off of. Say for example this conformational change is mediated by isomerase catalysis. So conformational is balls, change is oval office, mediated is "emo", isomerase is turdwreck and catalysis is guntjack, and there you have it! Balls oval office "emo" turdwreck guntjack. There's no way you're forgetting that poo poo like ever. Works on anything too! Your brain will look like a natty clownhouse with knowledge in no time! e: grandma Karate Bastard has a new favorite as of 13:07 on Sep 26, 2016 |

I think a bunch of the study things are true, but impossible to really evaluate anything from that format. Makes me want to bleach my brain and start over.

The scent thing does have a mechanism to work (to this day, I can't smell commercial dishwashers without remembering my first job at a greasy spoon diner), but would be ruined easily by literally any other association with that scent.

Yeah, I'd buy that the scent makes you think about the place you studied or how you felt while you were studying, but I'm really dubious about that helping you remember any of the material you were studying.

Yeah and I think the taste of peppermint may decrease perception of effort, which is why people use Listerine and gum at the gym (also their breath).

In my psych101 class they went over some of those tips and the smell one works. Also taking exams in the same room you have class in helps. Just the associations your brain makes with things is all it takes. For some reason Prince of Persia Sand of Time and pumpkin rolls match for me. I think because I watched a friend play it while mom made a bunch for Christmas.

You're bound to run out of scents before you ever run out of exams. You're gonna sit there blasting fart spray in your face, having exhausted all the more pleasant commercial options in previous exams. Or you're gonna become entirely dependent on the memory triggers and sit in the exam room with a battery of different sprays, desperately trying to find the one that's 18th century Irish poetry and creating an unholy miasma around your desk.

18th century Irish poetry is obviously Guinness, what sort of random-rear end mnemonic scheme are you running.  Or wait, maybe that one was wet wool... No, no, wait, that one was root beer-flavored vape cloud because my dickbag roommate was in the dorm while I was studying.
