Sex tips count as a lifehack, right?



Men's Health posted:

1. "Hold her gaze for a minute. If she's blinking more than normal (which is about 15 times a minute), there's a good chance she's on the Pill; women on birth control blink 32 percent more than those who aren't.”

3. “Stroke her forearm first. This area of the arm is packed with pleasure nerves that respond best to a touch traveling 1 to 10 centimeters per second… [to stimulate] an area of the brain associated with trust and affection.”

6. "If you're out in public but want to make your intentions clear, slowly and firmly flick your tongue against the palm of her hand. If she just wipes it off down her skirt, you've blown it."

17. Rent private fighter jets and fly them.

19. Hire a private violinist to follow you and your woman around on the street.

25. “Adding a touch of danger to the day will stimulate dopamine in her brain, triggering her sex drive.”

Cosmo posted:

8. "Chew a small piece of mango… then take him in your mouth. You can use whatever fruit you have, just don't try anything too acidic, as it can burn him."

9. “Go hot and cold. During oral, suck in air as you go down and blow it out as you go up.”

10. “As you’re going down on him, shake your head from side to side, letting your tongue follow the same pattern on the extra sensitive underside of his penis.”

11. "As you move your mouth up and down his shaft, rotate your hand in a corkscrew motion while spiraling your tongue in the opposite direction."

27. [When you’ve got an annoying roommate] "Rent a horror movie and play it while you have sex. If they hear any screams, they'll assume it's the movie."

29. "When he's least expecting it, tell your man you need some change. Then stick your hand in his pocket and touch his penis through the fabric, pretending that you're really digging around for that coinage you need. When he's good and hard, whisper something in his ear like, "Is that a roll of quarters in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?"

From here and here.

It's from this, I assumed it was a parody when I first saw it but looking through the rest of this tumblr I don't think it is.

It's actually from here, I think that tumblr just stole the images and slapped some text on.

I still can't stop watching Sandra Lee videos. She totally deserves to be in this thread for her lifehacking baking by not doing any baking at all and decorating every cake like she's a stoner.

I always have to post these whenever Sandra Lee comes up, so here's what happens when you actually make some of her recipes.

It's all fun and games, though, until you go to her wikipedia page and realize that she's an alcoholic because of a legitimately messed up childhood. She had deadbeat parents, and she had to take on the responsibility of raising her four younger siblings when she was 11.

Want to bake a cake? You know they sell that poo poo at the grocery store right? Oh yeah, thanks Sandra!

Time saved and you can't gently caress it up.

The trick is that you buy the box mix because it's all basically the same thing, but you make your own frosting because the canned kind is terrible.

A lot of people do it the other way around, in my experience.

This is from a few pages back, a thing we did in the army was start fires with those small satchels of coffee whitner. Those things are pretty much just powered vegetable oil or some such and go up like gasoline. Also much less useful than Doritos which are actually edible.

My American cousins say this is because of the big corn lobby, but I find this unbelievable. Is big corn a real thing?

Pretty much, yeah. The main lobby is called the Corn Refiners Association, and they do poo poo like this.

The lobbying is mostly about HFCF and corn ethanol. The industry gets some crazy super loving good subsidies, but this really isn't the thread for that discussion.

The only potential risk with it is if the sensor that detects when the tank is full somehow fails, and the gas overflows.

It's got a few familiar ones in it, like cutting a cupcake in half and smashing it together again, cutting up ice-cream tubs and doing various things with Oreos, but there are some extra stupid ones in there too. Like threading chunks of hot dog onto raw spaghetti strands before boiling them, heating pizza in a waffle iron and smearing a mango all over the inside of a beer mug.

Nah, keep in mind that in America (more specifically Florida because of loving course it's Florida) there was a case years ago where a man attempted to break into a little old lady's house via skylight, fell and went through her glass coffee table, breaking his leg.

He sued her and won

This sounded like a dumb urban legend, so I went and looked it up. Apparently in reality some 19 year old kid and his friends decided to steal a floodlight from the roof of a school, when he fell through the skylight and suffered injuries that made him a spastic quadriplegic. So yes, I guess he shouldn't have been up there, but it's less "hardened criminal scrapes self while terrorizing a hapless granny and sues her", and more "a teenager suffers a horrible, life-altering injury while committing an idiotic act of vandalism and sues the school".

And also it was in California, not Florida.

e: according to this here book the skylight was even tarred over and a supposed similar incident, which it doesn't elaborate on, had occurred several months prior.
