Well you better figure it out soon because SOMEBODY's got to tell the WHO they should start saying "antivenin" instead of their current use of "antivenom," and we wouldn't want that person to sound like a huge prick.

I'm strong. And a giant penguin. Please don't eat me. No, really. Don't try.
It's officially been antivenom since 1981, because antivenin is literally just the word "antivenom" but in French. Life: hacked

Stuff the entire lemon in your mouth, rubber-band the bread clips to your fingers so you're unable to type. Walla!

If you're outdoors or in the garage, both brake cleaner and automotive electric contact cleaner seem to do an excellent job against black widows and the enormous New Mexico roaches that sometimes wander into the garage

For bees: Super 77 spray adhesive and a lighter. It's like napalm. Kills them mid air.

Plus it's sticky and makes a terrible mess so that's handy.

I have a nearly useless, but worked for me breadtag hack. I think about three tenants have left charred remains on the drip pans of our gas stove over the years and I decided this morning I was going to fix it. I started out scraping with an old ID card, but it was too big to get good leverage and not dig into my palm. I tried with the flat end of a bread tag and it worked perfectly. After three pans, it finally gave out, but it did a good job of scraping up gunk without scratching the enamel.

Nah, dude, bees are nightmare creatures. Everyone always tells me that without bees, the planet is doomed. I'm fine with that.
On a serious note: Bees are, like, the only thing I'm afraid of. Some guy at a Renaissance faire tried to explain to me how silly my irrational fee was while selling me honey. No poo poo it's irrational, that's why it's a fear. Whatever.

Lifehack: be afraid of bees and get a 2-for-1 discount on killer bee honey.

If they work they're not lifehacks unless they happen to be needlessly complicated or more expensive than doing it the way everyone else does it. :colbert:

Lifehack: don't want to actually interact with customers? Make them go through a tree of options so they hang up in frustration before getting to a real person. Be sure to make the hold music stop every 20 seconds for a message about how you can go online to solve the problem yourself. Only the truly dedicated people will stick around long enough to bother your employees.
Our IT department did a customer service survey and found that people got annoyed when they were on hold for more than 6 minutes, so they set the system to keep people on hold for 6 minutes then hang up.

Make sure you don't wait longer than ten minutes though. If you wait too long it will ooze under the keys and then tear apart when you try to lift it up. Leaving bits of sticky gel everywhere.
