Maybe y'all already know and I'm late to the party. but I just discovered Reddit has a easy way to zoom. Tutorial:

1 double tap 2 hold 3 move finger to zoom.

It's way easier to do this when you're chilling and trying to zoom in on a picture one handed without having to do the lobster claw thing with your thumb and index finger.

I'm assuming it works for everyone. So I hope this helps.

If you find yourself hunting for an item, like a pair of glasses, a microfiber cloth or cord for electronics, pay close attention to the very first place you look. Once you find the thing, make the first place you looked that thing's forever home. Get a box or a tray if you have to, and let the thing live there.

When defrosting your windshield on a freezing cold morning, open your sun visors all the way. It traps the heat against the windshield and significantly speeds up defrosting.

If you are skeptical, open the visor on one side and not the other, you will see a remarkable difference.

Never engage in conversation with them, they will drag you down, your time will be lost on something totally unproductive and your blood pressure will rise! That's it, that's the advice

No app, no reminder needed. Just place your keys on top of whatever you can’t forget — your lunch, documents, a return item, etc. You have to pick up your keys to leave, so you’ll automatically grab the item too. Works like magic for forgetful mornings.

I had a terrible problem with bugs and flies and gnats and gross maggots at the bottom of my bins. Even cleaning it out every week wasn't enough!

This system here has been great. I no longer have pests in my trash bins. The Terro product has a sticky feature, but the adhesive is just awful, and so putting it in this mesh bag means that it stays with the trash can even when the trash gets collected each week. Then I just replace the Terro repellent about every 3-4 months for on-going pest control.

I just thought I'd share this stupidly simple thing that has worked for me in case anyone else struggled with this.

I was going crazy losing my remote in my blankets and/or sheets, so I used a hot glue gun to affix a neodymium magnet to my headboard and another to my remote. Now I never have to search for it in the dark again!

i’m panicking since honestly i don’t want to smell - is there anything i can do except drown myself in perfume? 🥲

update: i was fine, febreeze and baking soda actually worked and i didn’t smell (i checked throughout the day)! I’ve seen lots of very backhanded comments so:

1.no i can’t just wash it i posted this late at night and my dad was sleeping i would have woken him up

2.no i can’t buy another jumper i already have 2 and one was in the wash

3.no i cant wear something else it’s my school uniform

4.yes i shower (every day) though i wear a scoliosis back brace which causes me to sweat a lot more (especially in warmer months)

Thanks for the help (and to the dude who decided to personally private message me just to make fun of me you look stupid for attacking a teenage girl at your grown age just for asking for help!)

Tired of the trash can tipping over. Trying out this solution. Long wooden stake hooked to the back opposite to the direction of the wind. Holding up so far.

As I get older, I am losing a bit of hand strength to open some water / juice bottle caps that are particularly hard to open. I’ve been thinking lately about getting some sort of device to help, but I have not done that yet. I was having a particularly hard time today opening something I really wanted to drink. Even a rubber band wasn’t helping. But sitting on the counter right in front of me was a roll of duck tape, so I wrapped the end around the cap, and stuck it back onto itself, then without cutting it, used the roll as torque to twist the cap open. It worked like a charm!

This is actually starting to infuriate me lol. Every one of my sweatpants has the drawstrings pulled back into the waistband. I tried tying knots 4 inches or so from the end to try to block them from being pulled in, but that made it worse when I try to untie them. Anyone have any life hacks for this?

I run 36 hr working shifts twice a week, and do 12 hr shifts in between... so i am chronically tired. I wake up on time in the morning, but when i cant help but take small naps when i am extremely exhausted, i cannot for the life of me hear my alarm. I have multiple alarms on my phone and i have one of those metal old school alarm clocks but they just dont wake me up. Not napping is not an option, i cant stay awake straight for 36 hrs. Please help.

Edit: im a doctor

A hack I discovered completely by accident. If you want to make 100% sure the mirror you're cleaning is done, turn off the lights and shine a flashlight into the glass. Any smudges, streaks, or smears will appear as dotty ir swoopy little shadows on the wall behind you.

Take your extra large rugs to the pressure car wash. Works so good.

I have a wrist injury - I'm not looking for medical advice, but I need a way to stop using that hand while it heals. I'd appreciate some suggestions (serious or silly) to prevent myself from using it!

UPDATE - I fell down some stairs and have a suspected scaphoid fracture, so now I'm in a cast and sling. Problem solved, I suppose!

I have been in a few hostels for the last 10 days and 2 of them had nearly unbearable mattress aka as thin as my hand width. Now, I suffered my first night but not my second because... and there is the trick... I folded the mattress in half.

Mattresses as thin as this are pretty flexible so you can eighther fold them in half or roll each side under to create a thin burrito to sleep at. This will leave you with about 40cm of sleeping area, but less comfortable space is better than no comfortable space. I gave it a go and is really saved my slumber. Though other people at the hostel might wonder what you are doing. So you need a bit of a thick face for that, but it's absolutely worth it.

When you’re limited to just a few kilos with your carry-on and want to avoid paying extra, here’s a trick I use: I buy something small at an airport shop—like a bit of candy—and then pay a little more to get one of their branded shopping bags, like from Ale Hop. Then I fill that bag with my clothes and other items, since airlines usually allow you to carry items you’ve purchased at the airport without counting them toward your luggage limit.

Hey guys I thought I would share this here I saw it online a few days ago! Get a deodorant stain on your shirt or any clothes for that matter? Grab some blue jeans and scrub the mark using that. The first time I tried it my mind was so blown I felt like an idiot for suffering for so many years trying to scrub with water lol!
