Oh dear.

I know. I'm a nitwit. But the golden age of MN joke threads was the one before the bots, scammers, etc posted so many shedloads of garbage OPs. Hard to tell them apart now. Unless you RTFT, of course.

Genius can't wait to try, how long can you keep it for?

Depends on your freezer I think.

I have an INSANE life hack.

Hate the taste of eggs?
Super easy to solve:

Just mix the eggs with sugar, chocolate, butter and flour, bake for 30 mins.
You'll love the taste of eggs INSTANTLY

Put bananas in the fridge they last longer.
The skin will still brown but the banana inside will be good for up to 2 weeks.

Other life hacks.
It's easier to wipe your arse sitting on the toilet.
Keep a bin by the loo and use baby wipes for messy shits.
You're welcome.

If I did that my cat would have that can of tuna in a millisecond and be carrying around like prize game (he's a Maine Coon so as big as a dog).

😂 Maine coons are the ultimate food stealers.

l'm tots obsessed with this insane life hack. Get up 10 mins earlier in the morning, you'll do the school run 10 mins earlier and be 10 mins earlier at everything you do all day!

Totally awesome life changer 🙌

Oh dear. This may trigger a MN bathroom bin discussion...

I can't work out if this is a joke hack or meant seriously (in the context of the rest of the post).
How else would anyone wipe?

MimiSunshine · 19/08/2024 09:28

Is no one else bothered by the gap between the work surface and the upstand / back panel bit in the photo?

does it not need sealant OP?

DiscoBeat · 19/08/2024 09:31

You'll like my stepson's hack then. He stores tins of beans/tomatoes etc upside down so that when he opens it the contents all floomp out in one.

reallifeboogie · 19/08/2024 09:31

Use a potato peeler to "peel" cheese

Can we dispense with using the American term of 'life hack' and just revert back to good old fashioned 'useful tip' please.

My mum (born in 1915) would have called a life hack, a wrinkle.

Does anyone have that one weird tip that melts belly fat that doctors in your area don't want you to know about?

Yes. I identified her sink and called round earlier today. She didn't offer me a tuna sandwich.

This pleases me. Just as the paint tin one did some years back, store the tin upside down so no film forms.

I don't understand? Your life hack is to drain something by letting liquid run out of the hole???

😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for this, I was drinking water and now it's all over my baby & shirt 😂😂😂

Now that you mention it , yes it's very anxiety driving.

@Tunotips life changing awesome hack..... get some sealer around the gaps by your edging above sink. It'll save bacteria, dirk and grime, getting down there. Sealant is amazing stuff, you must get some.

Surprised she was in.
Thought she'd be running - not walking - to get that dress that's a perfect dupe for some designer outfit.

(And - looking back at quote history:

Seriously?

No. Not seriously.)

HighGrem · 19/08/2024 09:53

Piss-taking or satirical posts don't come over well when it's just the written word.

There was a phase on MN when people would put 'light-hearted' in the post but it didn't go well as some people decided it wasn't light-hearted at all and would take umbrage 'well I don't see what's light-hearted about saying you can't wait for your DC to go back to school'.

And others abused it by saying offensive things with the caveat of light-hearted.

So, it never really works on MN.

There was a great example a few months back when an OP posted in the morning about buying a bottle of wine in the self-scan checkouts and finding it extremely rude that the supermarket worker came over and pressed the 'clearly over 25 button'.

Dozens of replies about how they were just doing their job etc etc, Op should stop being so vain etc and a good sprinkling of OPs missing the premise of the thread even if they hadn't got the jokey nature of it and took it as a real complaint, to jump on and ask the OP why she was buying wine in the morning and did she think she needed some help with her alcohol abuse disorder?
