I was reading some stupid Buzzfeed article in my news feed about life hacks and there were plenty of dumb ones, but two stood out to me that made me question if humanity is really worth saving. The first hack talked about how they would get into the shower each morning and turn the water on to shiver their naked rear end off under the shower head until the water warmed up. Then someone showed them you could turn the water on BEFORE getting in so it can warm up and it was “totally life changing” to this person. Like… wtf. I’ve been doing this since I was a kid, not just to let the water warm up after a couple of seconds, but because scorpions are a thing here and they love to shower with you and your feet if you don’t wash them down the drain first. The second hack wasn’t from the same person (I hope) but they said to dry off with the towel in the shower BEFORE getting out so you don’t leave water all over the bathroom. Who the gently caress are these people? Isn’t that the normal thing to do? “Just gonna get out of the shower sopping wet and do jumping jacks in this confined space and then maybe consider toweling off.” Good god. What stupid life hacks (or any type of Internet “hack”) has left you weeping for humanity?

The one where you have a huge loving encyclopedia from the 1930s hollowed out to be full of spaghetti where you pretend to study in the library but you are actually eating spaghetti (joke or not)

Sorry OP there's no way I'm getting anywhere in reach of a towel before I get out of the shower. It doesn't get the floor wet enough to be any sort of issue, that's why it's tile.

You should check out 5 Minute Crafts on youtube, they have thousands and thousands of just like made up bizarre poo poo that often won't even work, it's great. And here's my life hack: never under any circumstance check out 5 Minute Crafts or any of the many, many similar channels on youtube (unless it's HowToBasic)

I read a Cosmo bit about sex tips that suggested you could make your sex hotter by doing it in a sleeping bag. Like really, really, sweaty and the risk of dehydration, which you can mitigate with cold water breaks. To avoid heat stroke.

I have honestly never done that and I never will. I don't have carpet or lino in my bathroom. There was a thread here years ago were people were talking about bringing a squeegee into the shower with you so you could get most of the water off you before stepping out. Ehud posted:use your cd-rom as a cup holder Back in the 90's I knew a guy who swore you could turn regular floppy discs into HD floppies by using a hammer and nail to punch an extra hole in the top left corner. I saw the results, he was not joking. Fake edit: Well colour me loving surprised, I went googling and found out punching holes in floppies may have actually worked! https://www.webcommand.net/index.php/2019/07/31/does-anyone-remember-the-floppy-disk-punch-notcher/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/arch...2-d74c90610745/ <----- This article is from 1984.

Buy dozens of plastic containers for all the dry goods in your house, then take everything out of the box it's already packaged in and put it in those plastic containers. Make sure to refill the plastic containers BEFORE they run out, so you always have a layer of stale product at the bottom of your container.

Ram raiding. Making your shoplifting as visible as possible while tacking on destruction of property and potential manslaughter charges seems like the dumbest loving idea. Plus you're damaging your vehicle and it's going to be impounded anyway if you get caught, unless you stole it, which will earn you even more court charges.
