The highlight is using cable ties to... tie cables. Mind blown.

Lifehacking so hard that using objects for their intended purpose is a legit lifehack.

The wind bent over my tomato plant and now I'm legit using cable ties to tie it to a stick, and I can't be sure I would have thought of it if I hadn't had cable ties on my mind from reading this thread.

Just keep an eye on it for a few days, especially if the wind persists. If things go wrong the hard edges of the tie can rub against the relatively soft vine and erode it.

The lifehack is that you take a screenshot of the image, print it, scan it, upload it to imgur, then do a reverse image search on that.

This is the same reason you shouldn't actually use plastic cable ties on cables. Get yourself some nice velcro ones.

I have lifehacked a shower curtain before, but it was a temporary fix and I fully admit it looked terrible. I was helping a friend move into a new apartment, and she couldn't find the shower curtain rings so we hung it up with a few coat hangers. It was super trashy, but at least she had a usable shower at the end of the day. :shobon:

Save water and the need for a shower curtain by simply lying in the bath and pissing up into the air (urine is sterile so this is fine)!
