Phy posted:Dorm boiled eggs. Probably don't have an oven or a range, but they might just have a rice cooker. I understand even a hot plate is pushing it these days. In my dorm we weren't allowed a coffee pot because it had a warming plate. Of course that didn't stop us from having it. We just hid it before they did dorm sweeps.

Lotish posted:So glad I never had to stay in a dorm ever. It sounds absolutely obnoxious. Yep. It is. I spent a solid month arguing with the housing board about how I should be allowed to keep my hermit crabs. In the end I had to get rid of them because, and this is literally the reason they told me, "if they escape they'll burrow into the walls and destroy the wiring."

Meatwave posted:Unsurprisingly, reddit is chock full of god awful life hacks: My Freshman year of college they tore my dorm down and moved us into a hotel that the University had bought and was converting into a dorm. We were the first bunch of kids that lived there and the hotel coffee pot was still in the room. My roommate made ramen in the pot regularly.

The_White_Crane posted:... Is that pre-cooked bacon? This is from a few pages back but gently caress it. Yes. Yes it is. When I worked in the produce department at Walmart we had a stand of bacon perpetually sitting beside the tomatoes. It was precooked bacon in a box ready to be opened and served. Usually nobody bought it and it expired.

Why did I do that to myself? quote:A woman has to be a total moron to want to look like a guy . Getting tattoos is so masculine.

Antifreeze Head posted:About a third of those legit things that people in Canada will do at least once every couple of years. For instance, I scraped my windshield with a credit card just this morning. Yeah the credit card thing works quite well if you don't have any other options. Kitty litter/sand can also be useful for getting stuck in snow. This list isn't as 100% terrible as almost every other life hack list.

Smelly posted:Lightly sweetend iced tea is amazing and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. I really do hope they one day Americans realize that et don't need a ton or sugar in everything. Yeah. It's just made in a giant bucket like you would find white paint in. They brew it, dump seven pounds of sugar in, and mix it. Hopefully it gets used before all the sugar settles at the bottom and becomes like a three inch crust. At least they use real sugar though. Speedway sweet tea is something like a pint of HFCS that's sticky to the touch. Every single container in the box is sticky every time.

I highly doubt people only use it as instructed but that ~$3 container puts flavor into 192 ounces (5.7ish liters) of water. I think you guys are just looking for another reason to go "AMERICA FAT  "

You people lost your loving minds for three pages in a contest to see who could poo poo the hardest on those utterly inoffensive waffle iron recipes. If this "recipe" results in anything less than a nuclear holocaust, you're all hypocrites. Make Doritos consommé in a waffle iron on the floor like a animal you piece of poo poo. Did I do it right?

HMS Boromir posted:I believe the idea is that fleas find hosts by detecting the heat and CO2 mammals (and candles) give off. I have no idea if that's actually accurate. Yeah sounds like it's a similar concept to putting a lamp over a bowl of water. Fleas jump at the lamp, land in the water, and drown.

You'd be more likely to successfully waffle iron lasagna so that you can eat it off the floor like a animal with your credit card knife.

GOTTA STAY FAI posted:Hang on, I'm still assembling it. Just about got it. You'll be sorry you tried to mug me, motherfucker Where does the "use the credit card knife to stop muggers" come from? Because it's not advertised for that at all. The ads just talk about using it to cut every day things like packages, food, letters, string. Is that just this thread latching onto something tiny and pointless while bigger lifehacks go unmentioned like the Doritos Consomme from a few pages back?
