The only question you need to ask when it comes to eggs is will they blend, and the answer is yes, and the answer is in a loving jug with an ounce scale on the side.

What part is a lie?

As for the legality, there was a mistake, since the legislation encourages not to wash them, although does limit how you can label them.

Just because people aren't up to date on egg laws in EU doesn't make them a liar.

If the toilet is his only option just how disturbing is his shower or bathroom sink? Cause I've thought about this too hard, and I don't see how those were not the first options after "clean your depression hovel".

I can see the logic - the sieve fits in the toilet bowl kind of nicely, while the bath and sink wouldn't be able to grip it for him.

I feel like you guys don't make enough pasta? Cause that starch water could hang wallpaper. It would only create dishwater elmer's glue.

Providing you with a solid immovable mass that permanently blocks your sink, giving you the excuse to you do even more stunning lifehacks using your toilet as your sink.

Why they didnt use the bathroom sink instead is a question for the ages.

On the plus side the moss will die soon from being walked all over so you just have to stomp around in dirt / mud soon.

This seems to at least have some decent ideas, at least compared to the absurdities I've seen over on /r/DIWhy. Some of them seem like they'd be neat craft projects, or could at least save you a dollar on a cheap plastic trinket like the phone stand.


Those portable glue matches are so :psyduck: that they might actually be a somewhat okay idea.


Though, hot gluing your hair? :chloe:

Better idea.

Step one: Light a regular lighter and hold it upside-down.
Step two: Keep holding it until the plastic catches on fire.
Step three: Keep holding it until it explodes in a fireball and burns you quite badly.
Step four: Profit?

A friend of mine thought that would be a good idea way back in junior high. It did heal fairly quickly so it wasn't too bad I guess. Life hack: Watch a friend get burned; don't ever do that.

Man you better get a tetanus booster and some sturdy bandages for when that treadmill collapses. Those long screws and pressboard are going inside you.

I keep jamming out to the lite euro trance in these videos. I even started shazaming and listening to it later. I am what is wrong with society.

And the thing is a lot of those 5 minute crafts would be great as ways to keep kids entertained.

All the make passable decorations out of what's basically garbage would absolutely have worked at the day care I worked at. My school age kids loved doing things like that and whenever there were open houses they encouraged kid made decorations.

The slime related things? Absolutely

Even their make bars of soap hacks would have gone over well with them.

Instead they call these #lifehacks and act like adults want to make their phone case out of hot glue

In fact check out this youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=user?CuriosityShow

It was a 70s/80s kids' show that featured an absolute ton of little crafts segments, usually as a way to teach basic physics, and the presenters relatively recently got the rights and are doing god's or at least, I dunno, Mr. Rogers' work by putting them all on youtube. Call me old fashioned but I'm pretty sure that sort of style is just flat out better for kids than the Eurodance Lighter Hack-A-Thon or some wannabe youtuber jumping on the slime train to farm followers.

getting back off the soapbox now thanks for listening
