Put a toilet bowl on your head so that you can jiggle a plate of sausage and meatballs all over the place on your lap.

Put clear/invisible tape (but labelled in the video as "duct tape") on a fork, so that you can eat yogurt out of a cup.

Reading this gives me an irresistible compulsion to add "Stick your head in the microwave and get yourself a tan."

Possibly not a trend that holds to swapping kitchen knives for bowls full of razor blades, however.
On the plus side, it does make you the horror movie villain of vegetables, torturing them slowly to death in a bowl of blades rather than killing them quickly with a knife.

Don't have a link because it was from one of those auto play Facebook videos but I saw one just now from something called "Crafty Panda" where one of the lifehacks was instead of putting two batteries in a remote just put in one and for the other space stick in a bent paperclip. That sounds like a good way to start a fire.

Well don't you know I'm caught in a trap?

There's no way that works, just about every remote takes 2 AA or AAA batteries in series, for a total of 3(ish) volts, 1 battery would be 1.5 volts and simply wouldn't do poo poo.

The remote for my Denon AV receiver won't even work with Ni-MH rechargables, since they only put out 1.2 volts each and 2.4 volts just ain't enough juice.

I doubt it would start a fire, you arent shorting the battery with it, as other posters have said the batteries are in series, not parallel (where doing that WOULD short the battery). Its far more likely the remote just wont work with one battery. On a basic level, if a remote only needed one battery it would only take one, its not like the TV company is getting kickbacks from duracell.

This is awesome, apparently they've done a lot of projects like this. I'm skeptical about how much was really done by hand since the wall of the main room appears to have rocks cleanly cut flush with the surface.

double edit, not sure how awesome it really is because apparently fraudulent primitive survival channels on YouTube are pretty common.

When that Primitive Technology chan took off years ago a bunch of content farms found cheap labour who could build low tech things. So they pay them bugger all in the hopes of making youtube gold. :capitalism:

Watched the corn video and got angry, then suddenly realized that yes, you do have a great big wodge of useless silicone after youre done making your limited run of pearlescent corn dildos with googly eyes in or whatever, and you might as well use it for something-- in essence, c(o)untry artists make do. 10/10, this was a journey.
