I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to hijack the thread. I mean no offense to anyone that enjoys video games.

That’s not a life hack, it’s either crazy or worried to much what other people think.

You're once again showing yourself to be an idiot. Just like life "life hack" isn't gaming terminology, "levels" in this context refers to levels within a hierarchy, not video game levels.

My advice is to not get so riled up over message board posts. It’s not healthy. You can consider that a “life hack” if you want.


Not in the least bit riled up. Noting your idiocy takes very little effort, and requires absolutely zero emotional flux.

You are obviously riled up. Loosen up your grip on your joy stick or you will never beat your high score. Another “life hack” you can use.

After installing my first dishwasher over covid I realized that it is only fed by the hot water line and the instructions recommended running the hot water in the adjacent sink before starting the dishwasher.

When I get a large pack of bottled water, I cut the plastic along the middle of the package on the back, top, and front (leaving the bottom intact). I then bend the bottom along the midline so both openings face up. It lets me put a 32 pack case in my fridge instead of a 24 pack.

Never heard of this one. Just mix and spray, let sit for a while then hose off?

When you are unpacking a new case of beer in the fridge, don’t unpack them one at a time, slowly moving them from the case to the shelf individually. Rather, open the back of the case first. Then place the entire case on the shelf. Then open the front of the case and push the beers out the back.



I've heard of this silliness. I put the case in the fridge and used the little breakaway to dispense a single can at a time.
The most important reason, is if there is an impending disaster, I can still rip open the fridge and grab the whole case as I'm running away from the danger. Think of it like your "go-bag".

Ice - nature’s Viagra If you use a laundromat, the dryer sheets in the trash have at least 2 more cycles in them.

You left out the part where if you flip your underwear inside out, it’s like a whole new fresh pair on the other side. This means you cut the time rubbing them against the washboard from your neighbor’s outside faucet in half!

“Life Hack” suggests video game terminology. Adults playing video games enough to use the terminology in every day conversation suggests immaturity. Grow up and face life like a mature adult and no “hacks” are required.

Jesus. Show us on the doll where a video game touched you.

Are like that with people who binge watch tv? People who watch sports all day? Car enthusiasts?

Lighten up and learn to tolerate people having different interests than what you learned from the joykilling upbringing you had.

You probably trade time for money when you should be trading money for time. You will run out of time before you run out of money.

Have your coffee made the night before so all you have to do is press the button.

Workout first thing in the morning.

Eat oatmeal creme pies for breakfast.

Yes grow up and be mature and have a username like BabysArmHoldingApple.


And FYI "life hack" is just a term to describe ways to accomplish everyday tasks faster so that we can get more done. This is the motivation behind every single technological advancement ever. So enjoy the modern life that you live despite seemingly having zero interest in or respect for the ingenuity of the people who got us here.
