Life hack "Tech" discussion
Posted on 10/2/16 at 8:32 pm

So, wanted to get some feedback and discussion on tech that makes life easier. It doesn't have to be groundbreaking. In fact if it's something soo advanced, most of us won't be able to use it. I'm talking about the things you're using on a day to day basis that's simplifying life, or maybe it's something you're saving up for because it's pretty damn cool. Don't be afraid to post if it's something simple... Might be something someone else hasn't considered yet.
I'll start with a couple things I find super useful.

$11 with prime
Having my phone out of my hand facing me makes life alot easier driving through the city. Seriously, make the purchase if you don't own something similar already.

I live in the country... These little suckers emit a low frequency sound that keeps bugs/rats and other stuffs out. I've found it useful. Haven't had any issues with mice sense plugging them in all over the house

These aren't hacks. These are products.

I believe my thread title and post are pretty clear.
Life Hack- (per urban dict.) A tool or technique that makes some aspect of one's life easier or more efficient.

You linked (I'm being generous here) items that have a specific function and you're touting that function as a hack. It's not.
That's like me linking a step stool and being impressed that it helps me reach higher then calling it a life hack.

Does a step stool fall in line with "A tool or technique that makes some aspect of one's life easier or more efficient."?? I'd assume you would agree that a stepstool would constitute as a tool that does indeed make life easier.
So, you're point here is to say that items that have "specific" functions can't be life hacks?
Idk what your point here is, if you were looking to derail a thread.. congrats I guess.

I can't help that you don't know what a life hack is.

Had a big long smart arse response typed out, but it's not worth it... Look the examples I gave were indeed products. They were not one of the stupid examples you see on youtube of how you could use a straw, floss and a shoe to make peeling a potato easier..
My point was that these "products" make my life easier. Please contribute.
Please find another thread to work on your post count

Please post smartass response. TIA.

Putting a Starbucks coffee stirrer in your button down shirt collar is an example of a life hack.

Poop smarter, not harder.
Maybe you're not constipated. Maybe it's your posture. Maybe the real culprit is the inferior design of your porcelain throne. What you need is a 7 inch stool. No, beating Bono's record is not the solution, but maybe it can be the reward. This 7 inch stool helps create the proper anorectal angle of your defecational expulsions. The feces aficionados of the Squatty Potty assert that the proper angle for a proper slow dangle and drop is 35 degrees.
The next time you punish your body with filthy Mexican food or Golden Corral, degrease your colon with ease. Eliminate elimination complications. Don't exacerbate future health issues with needless grunting and pushing of unwanted excremental house guests that only plant the seeds of hemorrhoid growth. If you find yourself clinching, sweating, and groaning only to pinch one off so you can inhale and try another round of deep abdominal distortions, you're working way too hard. Instead, give those veins in your forehead relief and embrace the long term health benefits of Squatty Potty. Pooping with the posture of a caveman using thigh muscles against the lower abdomen is not just for practitioners of the paleo diet.
It's like buying your rectum a juicer. Get the Squatty Potty.
Squatty Potty®
is made in the good ole US of A
Also available in bamboo for $69.99 with free shipping (reg $79.99)

Why face the embarrassment of chimpanzees masturbating furiously as they check you out at the zoo, while your more human ancestors are checking out your date?
This is for all you nasty pigs that appear to be only a few generations removed from your knuckle dragging simian ancestors. Whether it's hair curtains on the upper arms, or that filthy bear rug growing on your back and chest, why invite further infestation of body lice drawn to monkeys like you?
Now you can at least create the illusion that you are almost as naturally perfect as the more evolved brethren that walk upright among you. Get rid of that godawful beastly fur with Brazilian Back Hair Removal.
