Tips/lifehacks your SO didn't know about?

[redraider86]

If something burns slightly, throw BBQ sauce on it and call it "smoked". If something that's supposed to be smooth comes out chunky, call it "homestyle". In hindsight, maybe he wasn't the best chef, but pretty good tips.

And more deeper life things...

A very wise man once told me, "Everybody is looking for the right person, yet few are trying to be the right person."

That same man told me that at least in terms of love and romance, the only person you know you're definitely spending the rest of your life with is you. Everyone else is simply not guaranteed, no matter how much you believe in and cling to "true love" and all that it entails. People die. People leave. People change their minds. When all is said and done, you end up with yourself. So you better really like who that is. In fact, you better love who that is....And then he died, so that sucked. But he was right.

Jokes on me too..haha...she still puts it on backwards. We were just in vacation in Maine staying with her best friend and I had to fix it in their bathroom. Drove me up a wall every time I had to drop deuces. Started a 20 minute debate session with the 4 of us(all in good fun). Apparently this is only something guys care about because the women 'claimed' they never even noticed.

Yet forget to put the seat down afterwards and you never hear the end of it

How to never forget to do something. Leave an object in an obscure place until you take care of the task. For example if I need to remember to pay rent and deliver my check to the landlord I'll leave something weird like a crumpled piece of paper the night before in front of my door so I don't leave my apartment without the check. You see the object where it shouldn't be and it will trigger your memory. Works like a charm.

Maybe but when one gets older one sees crumpled paper and wonders why its there and how it got there....Picks up paper and leaves house....driving along and totally bugged about the paper....remembers hours later the reason for the crumpled paper.





Old man stuff.

The duller your knife is the more you'll tear up cutting onions. Always keep your knives sharp. Get a 1000 grit stone and hit 10-15 passes on each side once a month and you'll be set. Takes less than 5 minutes. Or use a strop with green compound.

Not one personally but almost all the married guys have told me stories about this one... If you throw your cooking waste in the trash instead of down the garbage disposal you won't destroy your plumbing.

thanks brosephs, opening garlic became a lot less tedious

from 00:53

I buy elephant garlic.. I just cut the root end off and peel from the top of the bulb...
No smashing.
No jarring.

Huge cloves too.

not terribly related to the thread, but this is very good advice. I listened to a series about relationships by a man named Louie Gigglio called Relatable, the first two sermons were about this exact topic and it changed my whole stance on dating forever. So many people in my generation want the best woman that society has to offer, not realizing that the implication is they need to be the best man society has to offer to deserve that.

He didn't know that if you put a little oil on the end of a Q-tip and clean the inside of your belly button once a month - you'll be really, really clean and not a dirty savage.

I didn't know that (with older cars) you can plug in a USB in the charger thingie.

I considered that, but figured life hacks can also be ideas and concepts you may have never really thought of before. That series sounds fabulous, and I completely agree. On a similar note, we always want and pray for the other person to change, while rarely looking at ourselves and our own shortcomings.

I bet you'd love Tommy Nelson's Love Song: A Study in the Song of Solomon. This is the second post in two days about Song of Solomon, I think I'm Biblically Horny.

My wife didn't know belly button lint was a real thing

[CrimsonSteel]

If you ever tried "New Mood" and thought it had noticeable effects, you can seek out every single ingredient yourself on Amazon. So you'll spend more getting each separately, but you'll also have several extra months of servings. (Basically, instead of spending $30 for 15 days, you can spend $50 and have several months of servings.)

Of course, an even better life hack then that would be a good diet, exercise regiment, and sleep schedule.

She must have an outty then. Those of us with inny's know it very well.

***Hates folding laundry crew***
I can confirm, I also am pile of clean cloths laying somewhere until someone folds it. I don't mind doing any other household things but folding laundry is 0/10 for me.

I hate it too but not as much as I hate a messy home

Yet forget to put the seat down afterwards and you never hear the end of it

I always put the toilet seat and the seat cover down. If I’ve gotta do some work then so does she

[cookiefiend]

I feel like belly button lint is a man thing.

I thought everyone washed blue jeans after one day. BRB jeans worn out in no time. Got divorced and my first GF was asking me wtf. Three times before i wash them now.

3 months for me. (srs)

Only wash them when they smell like a mashed turd.

My wife still hasn’t figured out that if you fold and put away your laundry when it’s done you won’t have a huge pile of clothes on top of the dryer

Take them out of the drier immediately and fold for less wrinkles.

2) The condiment bottles: store upside-down Although now some manufactures design their bottles that way.

3) Boiled eggs: Wait until the water is boiling first before placing the eggs in the pot yields easy remove shell.

4) Recycle glass container. Great for leftovers.

5) Recycle zip lock type bags. Great for keeping smelly garbage in check. I use my protein containers as well. Zero smell that would attract pests.

If this is not a roll bread I actually feel like a phucking retard just for being a miscer.

Hey life pro tip: Eat cereal with a deep spoon not a shallow one. This allows for a proper ratio of milk to cereal so you don't end up with that extra unused milk in the bottom of the bowl.

Spoiler!

Life pro tip: Fist yourself phuck you misc. This is the type of chit that makes the rest of us lose faith in phkin humanity. We went to the moon in the 60's and you're just learning how to stack tupperware. please be a fkin roll bread pls.

[M0hi]

I did this with my shampoo when I was running out and she looked at me like I was an alien.

Congrats
you're officially Indian (or at least an indian parent)

We accept you with open arms



EDIT: my gf taught me how to sharpen a knife using just the bottom of a coffee cup.




Wait hold on, she's knocking at the door brb

[Mythenthefang]

you can make instant noodles in the microwave. get a large bowl, put seasoning on the bottom, then the square noodles. fill cold water until the noodles float. microwave for 6min.

before i found this out, i was boiling water and cooking inside a large saucepan. saves me probably 10min each time. less chit to wash, no waiting for boiling water on the stove.

You ameribrahs are all kinds of fukked up

Just get a fukkin plastic kettle/jug that plugs into the wall to boil water then put the boiling water over the instant noodles in the bowl and leave it covered with a chopping board or another plate

Degenerates I swear

With all the depravity and disgusting posts and threads here this is what you take issue with? At least you got the losing faith in humanity right. Even if it is grossly misdirected.

[BelieveBrah2018]

Instant noodles usually take 2 minutes in the microwave, that's why they're called instant. You were boiling them for 16 minutes?

are yall talkin about those square packs of ramen? i been microwavin those for awhile now too. i think i microwave for like 3 mins and 40 seconds then i add the seasoning packet and a bit of butter and stir
