To be sick of people calling everything a 'hack'?

Why is everything suddenly a hack?
Just watched a video about a 'Disney land park hack'

What was it? Taking a massive churro and breaking it in half for 2 small kids.
How is that a fucking hack? It's just common sense??

YABU - I have a number of hacks and they really improve my life.

Want to have a drink? Go in the kitchen and make yourself a drink.
Want to get somewhere? Get in your car and drive there or alternatively (because a good hack always has a couple of ways of doing things) walk or get public transport if available.
Want to speak to someone who isnt immediately with you? Phone them and talk to them or go round and visit them, using the hack above about getting somewhere.

I have tons more.

I saw an insta post the other day claiming to solve your clothes drying problems.

SHE PUT HER CLOTHES ON A WASHING LINE LIKE IT WAS NEW NEWS.

Fucking idiot, needed to wait for a free washing line before she knew that drying your clothes outside worked well. Honestly; I had to unfollow. What a shameless dickhead!

I agree, people call something that's normal, which everyone else does a hack these days, drives me mad
