Life Hacks - Let's Hear 'em

[TeamAmerica]

Starting a life hack thread. Please post up your best life hacks. Doesn't have to be hunting related. Can cover any topic. Let's spread the knowledge of the green screen! Some of you may still prove to be useful!

I'll start with the first one:

Rule of 9 Finger Trick:
To do 9 times "X", use your two hands for an easy trick. Hold up 10 fingers, then lower the finger corresponding to the number you are multiplying by 9. The answer will be the the number on the left side of your lowered finger plus the number on the right side of you lowered finger.

Example: 9 times 4. Hold up 10 fingers, you count left to right, then lower the 4th finger. This leaves 3 fingers to the left of the lowered finger and 6 fingers to the right = 36.

I don't understand this sorcery.

Wouldn't it be quicker just to say 36? Seems like if you're past the 5th grade you shouldn't need your fingers to math anymore

When eating Chinese food you are not required to use their really skinny bamboo sporks. You can use a normal fork.

When you cook your bacon wrapped dove for a crowd, straighten out a metal coat hanger, then bend it in 1/2 into a long "U". Stab your dove wraps on down each side, then twist the ends of the coat hanger together together. Now you can turn all 30 of your dubs at once with a pair of leather gloves, and you don't have toothpicks catching on fire.

It's just rounding - it's ok

When in doubt, talk to God about it. Works everytime.

If you get lost in the woods, just sit and wait for someone to reach out to you about the extended warranty on your vehicle.

Women’s panties and fingernail polish can both be taken off with a little alcohol.

Real hack for wrenches. After you use silicon sealant on a gasket recap the tube and put it in the refrigerator. It will be good for years.

You posted the best one so far

[Traildust]

A 2 blade disposable razor will remove cactus thorns out of your skin, clothes and boots.

Just lightly drag it with the grain / hair direction and it will pull them out. Don't try to shave them off in the skin.

A truer truth has yet to be true.

A fish basket (made for the grill) works great too.

I was on here for years before I realized the little arrow next to a thread title will take you to the last post you read.

I've never had the courage to admit that before. Feels great.

Wait till your wife goes to bed then bring her some water and an aspirin. If she says “I don’t have a headache “, you say “Gotcha”! This is good for one shot only so save it till your in dire need of nookie!

If you can’t cook at the beach without getting sand in your food then only chew halfway down and double the amount of chews..you won’t feel the gritty crunch of sand. Or just learn to not get sand in your food.

The number to the left of 4 is 3. The number to the right of 4 is 5.

My life hack is this....

Learn how to multiply on the fly so you don't have to drop whatever you're doing and try to figure out some finger counting deal that doesn't work anyway.

Just messin' with ya, man!

[Shane]

Actually, here's how you can make the finger trick work when you're multiplying by 9.....

Hold up 10 fingers, then lower the finger corresponding to the number you are multiplying by 9. The first digit in the answer is the number to the left of the lowered finger. The 2nd digit is 9 minus the first digit.

Of course, you have to know how to subtract, but it'll work.

Where do you get ten fingers to use? I was only born with eight fingers.

Change your clock by thirty minutes every 3 months. You'll never need to worry about daylight savings time again. Do the same with your feeders.

If it moves and it shouldn't = Duck tape.

Yep. And click the little arrow next to the most recent poster's name, and it'll take you to that most recent post.

I saw a think on TikTok last night like this. The guy handed his wife a Red Bull and she said "Whats this? I'm not tired." And he proceeded to say "YES!" and pick her up to haul her to the bedroom. lol

I just tested that and it didn't work. Oh course I usually am drunk when I read this site late at night so It may be accurate.

Where is said little arrow? I don't see it on my screen. Nevermind, I found it.

[Buck Slayer]

I can't remember the last time I counted on my fingers this much just to do something old already knew how to do... I'm somehow more confused than when I started...

[Travis Deveney]

If it is important,you will find a way. if it is not, you will find an excuse!

[SRK14]

Here’s one my uncle told me.. when a woman isint satisfied, turn to her and say “I never claimed to be a marathon runner, we started at the same time. What happened to you?

That makes me feel half better . Cause I got 8 fingers too . But I also got 2 thumbs instead of fingers. Am I abnormal or something? Asking for a friend.


My life hack: Go to TBH to learn about life hacks, like how many fingers I should have. And always be asking for a friend.

Assume everything you read on the internet is fake until you've proved otherwise.

Especially the things posted in places where dissenting views are unwelcome. Or else look foolish
