Actually, I remember an episode of Survivorman where he used a small amount of corn chips to start a fire. The oil they're cooked in helps make them just plain better than simple grass for starting a fire. Add the grass, too, sure, because you gotta build up to the twigs and limbs, but the corn chips do make a legit fuel in a pinch. Though anyone using most of these life-hacks isn't really in a pinch so much as they're just daft.

I think the show's still on Netflix; I should give it a rewatch.

 This is how I eat cupcakes because it keeps the frosting out of my moustache, but I'm not going to say it's the "right" way.

madlilnerd posted:That show, Super Scrimpers, had a right bunch of lovely awful tips that make frugal people look crazy. Most of the people giving out tips were slightly unhinged elderly women, but there was this one girl in her 20s who suggested you make a "cool" shirt out of a vintage pillowcase. Ok, I've actually done that with a set of 60s pillowcases, opening them up and using a pattern; you'd be surprised how much fabric is in there. The other important thing about a "life hack" is it's supposed to be no-effort, so that doesn't surprise me.

Fatkraken posted:Also the use of rohypnol is/was actually really rare, the majority of drink spike related rape is when the rapist just adds a ton more alcohol to already alcoholic drinks so the victim is drinking way more than they think and ends up much drunker than they planned. This actually happened to me as a dude at a party many years ago--I was never a heavy drinker and so had little to no experience with alcohol, and they thought it was funny to let me have one or two totally normal beers and then spike every other drink I had that night with stronger stuff. They didn't take it to pass-out drunk, but I was impaired enough that I ended up driving home drunk without thinking about it, and they didn't stop me. duckmaster posted:No it wasn't, if your drink was spiked you'd have been raped/murdered/mugged, nobody is going around spiking peoples drinks for shits and giggles. No, that's exactly what some people do. marshmallow creep has a new favorite as of 18:50 on Jul 12, 2014 |

Impossible. Anything that has touched poo is forever poo-touched. That's just science.

Desperado Bones posted:From what I've learned Americans love their bread extremely sweet and sugary. It's a bitch to find regular sliced sandwich bread at the supermarket that isn't both those things. It's kind of awful. You check the ingredients list and HFCS is number 1 or 2.

Idiots. Everyone knows that if you want the dice to roll the right way you keep them in your ~girlfriend's~ bra*. *If girlfriend not available, the person at the intersection between largest boobs and lowest self-esteem will substitute.

e X posted:Why would you ever put that on your food? Because it's still basically fruit juice with alcohol and salt? I mean, if you want those things in your food, why not? On the scale of weird stuff people eat (including some of the examples in this thread) salted low alcohol wine doesn't seem that bad.

dovetaile posted:Lifehack: too cheap to buy litter/litter box? Just use a sandbox! Confession time: My house is in the middle of a hill, and the neighbor's yard has no erosion protection--no retaining walls or the like. So long before I even bought the place her yard was already filling in my drive way and the pavement in the back. I had a lot of excess sand to deal with. I'm also chronically poor and thought I would get by with using the sand in the litter box to save on litter for a month. Bottom line? It's not worth it.

And yes, as you were probably certain already, precooked bacon is not exactly the king of flavor. That may just be because I've only had it heated in a microwave, and it just comes out kind of soggy.

Falcon2001 posted:I don't corkscrew, but I do slash my hotdogs before I broil them because it adds extra surface area for searing, same basic concept on the corkscrew though. Tastes good, man. Yeah, gently caress it, next time I want a hot dog I'm making it a duck dick dog.
