Of course it isn't, that's literally what makes it a "lifehack" :confused:

there are a lot of things to dislike about it but that's a weird one

I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing, but that hole is so you scoop up noodles without scooping up water, and sometimes it's just multiple small holes or slits.

The hole is not a measuring instrument, and I honestly doubt it's calibrated to measure anything. Also, who the gently caress measures spaghetti? You just eyeball that poo poo, holmes.

It's a dumb life hack.

edit: VVV ah gently caress! does it work with fettuccini too? VVV

No you don't understand, you must use the exact right number of spaghetti. You should also measure the water with a micropipette to the exact microliters you need. It's the only way to be sure.

Is bulletproof coffee marketed at the same demographic as tactical soap?

What does bulletproof coffee do for you?
Image result for bulletproof coffee
Bulletproof coffee is a growing diet trend that combines coffee, oil, and butter as a substitute for breakfast. Promoters of the drink claim that it prevents hunger and provides lasting energy and better mental focus. However, there is not yet enough evidence to confirm its potential health benefits or risks

Lol instead of food for breakfast I'm going to have a coffee and a stick of butter. Wonder what health risks and benefits this has!!!

yeah i'm not saying don't hate it I'm just saying the bolded part is you defining the "hack" part of all lifehacks (using thing that's for X for Y), but your phrasing is making it seem like you think its specific to that one. Expand your horizons, hate all lifehacks.

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.

I'm the only person I know who does this, and every time I suggest it to someone else they act like I'm crazy. I can't think of a single reason not to do it, but I guess most people just get a kick out of covering their bathroom floor with water.

Probably depends on your room layout - I'm in a smallish European apartment, so I can easily put a towel within arms reach of the shower. I imagine that's not the case everywhere.

What I really want to know is who comes up with the "put half an onion on your foot and you won't believe what happens" ads - I assume the page they link to has exactly no overlap with the ad, but someone had to be sitting there trying to come up with a mix of body part and vegetable that feels like it could plausibly be a Weird Old Trick.

I remember one time, feeling exasperated while trying to explain to her that essential oils smell nice but that's really all they do, while she insisted that they cure every disease known to mankind, I said "Next thing I know you're going to be putting slices of onion in your socks!" At that point she got really quiet and was like "I... I don't see what's so wrong with that... There are all kinds of health benefits, and it hardly costs anything..." :suicide:

It's because maneuvering around in your slippery tub (if you have that kind of shower/tub set up) is dangerous

Get out of the tub and get your feet on solid ground before you towel off

I think that's practically instinctual

i use my hands to flick as much water off my body as possible before exiting the shower (onto a bathmat) and toweling off

i started this when i was living in a humid place where my towel wasn't getting dry fast enough. seems to work
