Here's a tip: put a pinch of sage in your boots, and all day long a spicy scent is your reward.

Both of these posts, phenomenal.

Also, SalsaShark's "disable gag reflex" hack works. I use it when brushing my teeth. Honest.
 
1. Go to the grocery store at midnight, no filled aisles, no lines, everything feels like it is yours. And the few employees there cater to you.

2. Buy electronics on Craigslist, tremendous savings/ no tax

3. Sell electronics on craigslist, make bank, no shipping head aches
 
This just makes it worse for me. :(

That is because there are about 100 different types of headaches. And fapping or sex, or a BJ aint' going to help a good deal of them especially as the actual changes that occur in the body during and after can make it worse.

If you wanna sleep, fap.
Restless leg syndrome has a crazy temporary respite period after orgasm as well.
 
The power of Coke

Coca Cola is an excellent rust buster. If you have a bunch of small objects that need de-rusting, soak them in coke overnight and give them a good scrub in the morning.

Coke can be used for a variety of cooking techniques. You can mix it half and half with BBQ sauce for an excellent marinade, and you can even casserole an entire chicken in it.

If you have been sprayed by a skunk, stand in the shower and cover yourself from head to toe with coke – wait for a few minutes, then rinse off.

The chemicals in coca cola can be very effective to help neutralize the pain of jellyfish stings. No more pee!

Here is a cheap solution: empty a can of coke into your wash along with the usual detergent and run it through a normal cycle. This is also quite effective for removing blood and it helps to deodorize smelly clothes.

Pour some cola into a shallow dish and place it in the garden near the problem area. Slugs, snails, and other bugs will go in for a drink and never come out again! This is a very good first line of attack in your garden and it can obviously save you an enormous amount of money by reducing the need for pesticides. You can pour the left over coke (minus the bugs) onto plants that like acidic soil like azaleas and gardenias.
 
one more, ready?

Prostitutes used to use Coca-Cola to clean out
their body in between clients
. As old Coke is rumored to
properly kill sperm
 
That gas tip doesn't apply to my car but I drive an oldsmobile. May only work for newer cars.
When you dislike a thread, be sure to start shitting on it. This helps clean up the forums and makes mods' jobs easier.
Nate I think you are a great poster.
 
I don't have a link, but there are plenty of videos on YouTube showing you how to tie your shoes in two seconds. I've been doing it for years now, and it is a lifesaver. Plus it impresses your friends.
 
The arrow on your gas icon tells you the side of the car you fill up from.

thats what I heard as well, but on my car its digital... the first few weeks people could see me with my head out of my window looking for the cap while pulling up...

I don't really have a life-hack tbh, life is already too easy as it is....
 
Also: when you are feeling nauseous (?) drink a bit of coke. It helps to settle the feeling of throwing up a lot of the time
 
...what? You wrap pants around your neck?

.....Take the button of one of your pants and wrap it around your neck/shoulder. Try it and get back to me.

-Also dilute shampoo/condition in a bowl instead of pouring it on top of your head.
-dont have a toaster? Use a wire hanger, bend it in half, put it on the stove top.
-take a shower and wash your lingerie under your toes. wash that shit down.


edit:what no one tried it yet?
 
If you don't own a Panini maker/sandwich press, you can use a waffle iron. The little squares make for an interesting pattern as a bonus.

This made me crack up for some reason. Just the thought of tying your shoes in two seconds saving your life is a great image.
 
Nope, this only works for around 18-25% of the population, it's called Photic Sneeze Reflex it's a hereditary defect. My wife has it, I don't and she's passed it onto my kids dammit.

I think we're talking about 2 different things. In your link, this is something that happens when you look at bright lights and happens repeatedly. I look at bright lights with no problem at all.

However, if I feel like I'm about to sneeze and I look at a bright light, I sneeze. I read this happens to everyone. You know how sometimes you feel like you'll sneeze and then you don't? Looking at the light brings it out.

And the opposite: pinch the ridge of your nose where the bone connects to the skull to prevent sneezing.

oh wow, nice!
 

When I was in elementary school, I would always flip through these "how to draw X" books in the school library, and wonder why the **** the book expected me to know how to get from the second-to-last step to the last step, when the second-to-last was some vague lines and a circle or three, and the final step was some incredibly complex fully shaded sketch thing. Come to think of it, I still don't really understand.
