School/Education #2 is risky, and I wouldn't recommend it. I used to be a teaching assistant, and someone handed in a "corrupt" file. "file essay.doc" -> JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01.

(it wasn't porn)

Hacks, you say?

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

Leave it to man_in_the_mirra to not only repost shit, but to do it to an irrelevant subreddit.

Have you found a way to buy things with link karma? Is that what this is all about?

Great post, but I find it funny you posted this in r/funny

Edit: for those who aren't in the know, check out /r/lifehacks

Can someone please repost the response to this repost which was originally reposted a year ago whereby a redditor shows that all of these 'lifehacks' are fucking useless, stupid, or not true?

Seriously, who the fuck has trouble opening a banana?

Porn in your hotel? It's called the internet.

Assholes who fuck up the elevator or break into a house or fuck up the credit card machine can die in a fire.

tl;dr This list is fucking stupid.

Oh ... about that Propecia trick... Just a friendly FYI

I'll risk baldness...

katatonos · 6 months

It'd be sweet if one of these hacks was how to search reddit for already-submitted material. Where's original finder?

Two cups of salt? Damn that's a lot of salt for a cold beer.

Women who are nursing, pregnant, or who may become pregnant should NOT handle propecia or be around the dust from your quartered tablets.

"FREE HOTEL CANCELLATION"

TIL being an ass is a "life hack."

Checking the remote with a camera phone was news to me. That was pretty cool, and it worked. Everything else, meh.

You have to pay for air in your tires in the US? What the fuck is up with that?

As a guy who had the worst acne in high school, I'm pretty suspicious of that acne/towel hack. It doesn't seem to make any sense. Can anyone find a link?

I have actually heard of a study that found Productivity 2 to have the opposite effect.

virtyy · 6 months

whats the point of the chain lock thing???

OwDaditHurts · 6 months

Why is this posted in /r/funny? There is nothing funny about this at all.

ThereTheyGo · 6 months

I feel this is less 'amazing, I never thought of that!' and more 'Ya know, things get easier when you're a scumbag. Here are some examples!'

School Hack #2: Don't do this. I work in a school's IT and we busted a kid trying to do this.

YUsoTroll · 6 months

Some of that stuff is pretty useful!

Information on the hotel ones.

Free porn! Nope. We can see how much of any program you've watched. So many people have said they accidentally ordered something...and watched 2 hours of it. "but I didn't know it wasn't free!" Yes you did. It asks you twice. It is okay. If you're nice, I'll probably refund you the money. But you better be nice!

No cancellation fee! You may have booked an advanced purchase option and the days are non transferable. However, booking an advanced purchase option can give you a great rate! So...ups and downs I guess.

The cell phone charger one is pretty funny. Its true too! However, no we don't have iphone chargers. Employees snatch those up. However, if you're looking for a nextel brick cell phone from 10 years ago, we usually have loads of those!

tiezep · 6 months

I fucked up the cheat code when I spawned, no professional beer tasting for me.

djbfunk · 6 months

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

Propecia is horrible, horrible stuff.

SonOfDadOfSam · 6 months

It's START, not SELECT. Select is what you press BEFORE start if you're playing 2 players.

mightybifkin · 6 months

Those are some quality items right there! I saw someone use the elevator hack the other day and I immediately worshipped him as a god.

Anathema47 · 6 months

Domestic Hack #5. Every day. I usually end up with this leaning tower of crap-I-have-to-remember-to-take-with-me with my keys on top.

Logue1021 · 6 months

As for the hanger one... I always grab my shirts from the right side of the closet, and when I wash them I put them back up on the left side. Rotates me through all of my shirts.

S1ayer · 6 months

I don't know 2 songs that would fit into a 5 minute playlist for my panicked mornings.

EvoEpitaph · 6 months

The 2nd shortcut in the education category is an old trick that worked when computer assignment submissions were fairly new. Many professors know better now, or don't give a damn even if your paper really did get screwed up in the submission.

Johnofthewest · 6 months

So is this just a long winded advert for Propecia? Most of these are next to useless.

legolover64 · 6 months

A bunch of these are how to be an asshole.

Seriously? Steal stuff, waste other people's time, break into apartments.

vodkamartini · 6 months

Some of these are really helpful... others are just implausible or plain stupid.

Wow, you have a weird definition of 'amazing'.

toSTONEiGO · 6 months

they should of mentioned not to cram learning a bunch of facts in a small time frame, but that would have been hypocritical wouldnt it? im not gonna remember any of these becuase i want to remember them all.

Mr_Zarika · 6 months

The only one that I didn't say "meh" to was the measuring your hand and having a rule with you all the time now.

I was amazed for a while that I could see the IR from my TV remote in my cellphone camera. Actually I'm still amazed, I'm gonna go do it again!

99% of these are either useless information, common sense, or don't work.

jawbyedew · 6 months

I've tried the elevator thing many times, many different buildings (I work in wireless telecom) - doesn't work.

I've tried the air compressor hack a few times - doesn't work.

I just tried the sinus thing, and it works but the effect doesn't last long with a sinus cold from hell.

Elevator, parabolic skull, and AAAA battery thing are all complete bullshit.

Oh yeah, not eat for 12 to 16 hours? That's easy for you to say Internet, you feed on a constant supply of porn and cats, which I don't have! ಠ_ಠ

I don't understand the whole chain lock thing. Why put the lock on if anyone coming in can unlock it?

ChadwickHenryWard · 6 months

On the security chain thing:

Once you leave, how do you engage the chain from outside?
How do you prevent intruders from disengaging chain?
