Buying & steeping loose leaf tea instead of bagged garbage. Higher quality, lower price, actually tastes decent with multiple steeps. If I don’t finish the leaves, I fill the teapot with water to have cold brew the next morning. If you get into it, an electric kettle that lets you set the temperature is essential since you can avoid burning leaves much easier & unlocking more delicate leaves that require lower temperatures. Last tip which should be obvious: no milk or sugar & if you think it tastes bad, why do you keep buying black tea instead of something good?
The only one i can think of is people not saving their old toothbrushes. A small brush comes in real handy for a lot of situations
Gotta get that deep clean in the shower ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I’m actually lost here, butthole?
oh I know, I just wanted an excuse to call someone a butthole
Well played.
Wait I’m still a bit confused. Do people use the brush part?
I’m really bad about actually swapping my toothbrushes when I should so they end up completely spent by the time I replace them and are unusable for anything else
Yeah I used to be like that, just not something I’d think of. Now I just automatically swap it out when I finish a tube of toothpaste.
Using an ad blocker
For those that enjoy eating peanut butter and banana sandwiches, use a hot dog bun for the bread. I know, it genius.
I get HelloFresh boxes and cancel after one week
Using password managers. All of my friends and family refuse to use them but always complain about getting locked out of accounts due to forgetting login details. I leave them too it now.
So I play guitar. I had a problem where I would sometimes drop my pick. Then, one day, I had an idea. I took some copper wire and attached it to a pick through a small hole I burned into it with a needle. I wrapped the wire around my finger. Now I physically cannot drop my pick.
“I laugh in the face of ground faults!”
You just made these things obsolete.
I thought that’s so you can throw picks at the audience
Actually they are just for looking like a big rock star that can afford to throw away a fistful of picks every night.
What could a pick cost, 20 dollars!?
That’s without counting the extra money spent on replacing strings, I’m sure using this kind of thing regularly would seriously shorten their lifespan.
I’ve got one of these. They’re great for if you accidentally drop your pick.
They are not, however, a goddamn pick souvenir dispenser! No, you can’t have a free pick you skeezy little jerk! Get off my stage!
I bought a pack of thumb picks out of curiosity and I actually really like them. I don’t use them every time I play but they’re nice to have.
I used to do this with a piece of thread
Seen it before… watched it again anyway. Praise Vectron!
By vectron’s creaky ankle that’s a great video!
Be careful where you drop your pick, by Vectron!
Wash their hands after using the bathroom.
😭
Use a bidet in the bathroom.
do both, please
Also actually cleaning yo buttox. So many men don’t and it’s disgusting
Huh, how do you know this? Not that I envy you though.
Butt inspector
Honestly, this feels like a meme. I have been eating man ass for years and I am yet to find someone with an unwashed butthole. Considering how often I see this claim, one would think it would be a more common problem.
Not saying it can’t happen but, Do you have any first hand experience to support the “So many men don’t” part?
I wouldn’t consider it a “hack”, but I’m always baffled by the number of people who don’t use any kind of content blocker on the web, then complain about full-page ads, pop-ups, and autoplay videos. It’s like going to a cheap motel with a lady of the night without bringing condoms.
That content blocker’s name
– Ublock Origin
More like going to a cheap motel and not expecting bedbugs.
Bed bugs do not discriminate. You can get them in the nicest hotels. Always check.
Mine is that, except they DON’T complain. Like when someone is showing me a YouTube video on their device and an ad shows up 30 seconds in… I lunge for the mute button while I scan the room for a blanket, clipboard, or other item to shield us, yelling “AVERT YOUR EYES!!” but next to all of my commotion, they’re just nodding along placidly like “Oh Coinbase, interesting.”
Like… Aren’t you affronted that some company paid another company to make it less convenient to do the thing you’re trying to do?! Does the gaudy, pushy tone change to too-loud propaganda designed to coax you away from your money not gall you?!
“Idk sometimes the ads are interesting. Free month sounds good.”
Jesus christ he’s too far gone.
Some of the ad revenue goes to pay the people that made the content tho.
I work on peoples’ PCs at work (regular people and not business IT), and one thing that I do for every PC I work on is add uBlock Origin Lite to Chrome and uBlock Origin on other browsers no matter what. As 8 or 9 times out of 10 the shit that caused someone to bring in their PC for cleaning are actually full-screen scam messages and scummy ads on sites or from emails. The only times I ever randomly get someone that is upset about the blockers being installed are from either the pickup person not showing them how to use them. Or I get a random person that actually uses those “news” start pages like MSN, Yahoo, AOL, etc. not understanding that the blank slides in the main slideshow are not actual articles and are ads.
Working in IT.
Tell the truth.
We will get lied to straight to our face and when proven they are lying they double down and get annoyed.
We don’t care that you spilt coffee on your keyboard, we just need to know it happened so we can get you a new one.
I think medical doctors have this same problem with lying and embarrassed patients.
Honestly, I was naked after the shower and just fell on it!
“Million to one shot, doc!”
Ah the ol “toilet plunger lodged 1.3m in the rectum” caper.
Happens every time.
“Everyone lies” - House, MD
House:“everybody lies”
if I suspect something was spilled, I always let them know that we have accidental damage coverage and things like spills are covered and that makes the truth come out a bit smoother.
And then you tell them you lied.
But it’s ok because they did too. So no social awkwardness, but you need to let hr know they lied about damaging company property and they should start packing their desk.
hahahahaha, in my case, I’ve been lucky that the places I’ve worked we actually have always bought the accidental damage coverage!
I also practically start the conversation with this info so I don’t get lied to initially.
I feel like most intelligent people are now on the bidet bandwagon, but it still blows my mind how many people I know that still resist using one (even when readily available). Quit being fuckin disgusting!
Some of these same people wonder why their sex life is mediocre at best. Maybe it’s your hygiene. Just sayin.
wow. shitty attitude is shitty lol
You’d understand if you had one
we have tons of them here lol
During my first trip to Japan I was reluctant to use it.
My manager was traveling with me and he bought one to take home and he already had one from a previous trip and he kept talking about how life changing it was
I finally decided to use the bidet on my last day of the trip and it was a life changer. I had to go back to Japan a month later and I got a nice Toshiba that unfortunately died early this year but now you can find bidets easily on Amazon or Costco
Wow, I’ve never seen someone try to link bidet use to intelligence before. It’s almost impressive.
Nor I to a better sex life

I was using a shower after every shit to wash properly.
You clearly haven’t met a Southern European. We divide the world in civilized ass washers and uncivilized smelly barbarians
This comment is slightly ambiguous. Who are “we” and who are the barbarians?
We: Italians, Spanish, Greeks, Arabs, Turks, Vietnamese, South Asians, Japanese.
Barbarians: everybody else, especially the French
This is high level trolling, very impressive sir
i don’t use my fingertips on public. door knobs, rails, etc. i use knuckles or fist or elbow or whatever. my finger tips are not for public use. started during covid, never got covid. barely ever get sick.
Until out of habit you rub your eye with your knuckle. Doh!
Mine is wear a medical grade mask in public spaces.
It does multiple things.
First it protects you from air borne pathogens like viruses and especially COVID.
Second, if you are confronted or people get mad at you for wearing one, it immediately let’s you know what kind of people are around. If they’re the type that will get mad at you for wearing a mask, it’s definitely a place to leave and avoid in the future. A mask is a great way to weed people out in public.
My wife has lifelong lung problems now and we can’t risk any infections. So wearing a mask is necessary for me … and at this point in my life, it’s normal now and I find that it’s normal for most people. 90% of the people that see me in a mask notice but immediately understand and don’t make an issue of it. It’s 10% of the loudest idiots that make it a problem and a mask is a great way to unmask them (pun intended)
Palms ftw
I use my knuckles for pretty much any object that is public. If I must pull a door handle I use my pinkie (or my foot if no one’s looking).
foot
/jk
Coworker extends hand
Nope, knuckle sandwich to the face!
It’s good for your health, buddy!sometimes i’ll use the bottom of my shirt as a glove until i can use my foot to swoop.
Long sleeve shirts ftw!
Next time you’re eating the chips at a Mexican Restaurant, get a side of lemons/limes.
Apply citrus to chips and sprinkle desired salt amount.
The salt will stay on the zesty chips throughout the salsa dipping process.
Having a IRA or 401k.
I’m 40 and the amount of people who kinda know what a IRA is is terrifying. Like, you’re gonna die in poverty.
Keeping an insulated water bottle around to drink from. How do people go to sleep knowing they either have to get up to take a drink or settle for some lukewarm side table water from a glass or plastic bottle??? Not to mention the waste I see with people using disposable water bottles (which have the time and place of course, but at home ain’t it.)
settle for some lukewarm side table water
Lmao
Best side effect of the insulated bottles is not having to use a coaster because they don’t sweat.
I use a half gallon insulated metal water bottle/jug and it’s incredible. I love it so much, and I couldn’t go back to even a normal sized one. I drink easily a half gallon a day now. I’m about to upgrade to a 1 gallon, because the lid on my half gallon is difficult to open, and the 1 gallon has a much better lid. I know it seems ridiculous, but it made a carry bag for it with a strap to wear almost like a messenger bag. I can carry all my shit and get hydrated at the same time. So fantastic.
Also, buzio is the brand on Amazon (I know. God, I know, but we don’t have a lot of options where I live. If anyone knows a better one, I’d love to hear it). They’re great. Everyone in my family has one in different sizes
My family does Iron Flask but any insulated bottle will do. I also started on a small 20oz and upgraded to 40 and it’s still not enough haha.
Yeah, I started with 32, upgraded to 40, and then decided screw it and jumped to a half gallon. I keep the 40 around for when I make smoothies or something. It’s oversized, but it has a straw and keeps everything nice and cold
To add: drink water throughout the day in general. Especially where tap water is safe to drink. You’re going to pass up the opportunity to improve your health and daily wellbeing, easily and for free? WHY?
Random side note. I actually prefer room temperature water. Sensitive teeth. And i try to keep my backpack as light, so it’s a one layer water bottle for me.
If I’m doing any kind of physical activity it has to be room temp or my stomach complains. But otherwise I like it a bit cold. And I agree on the weight thing, if I’m camping or otherwise away from convenience, I want a single walled, lighter container.
I never drink in the night. Why is that even a thing? Are you some sort of frog that needs to be kept wet?
I really enjoy a swig of fresh chill water in the middle of the night. I wouldn’t mind being a frog, seems like I would have much less to worry about.
