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??

Agreed.
See also: curate, used for contexts other than museums and galleries.
And fabrication as a synonym for fabric, e.g. ‘this shirt is available in a cotton fabrication’. No it isn’t!

Love your username and your attitude. My people! 🤘🏻

That last one is probably poor translation on dodgy non UK websites, to be fair.
