Another kitchen one. I always assumed the strongest water flow was closest to the faucet, but actually the water just about to hit the sink works better. This discovery has been useful for rinsing out things like cake icing tips and tea infusers.


Opening cereal/fruit/granola bars and similar foil wrappers. I would tear them on the serrated part and then only a sliver of the wrapper would come off and I’d have to try to widen the resulting hole in order to extract the bar, often crumbling part of it in the process. However, quite by accident I discovered that if I instead ignore the serration and tear against that foldy seam part that runs down the entire bar, then it separates right down the middle like magic and I can easily remove the bar. Often works on 8/16oz cheese too.
Is there a DDR5 version of this? /j

So did your deflock day, unearned arrogance, and potty mouth make things better? Oh, it didn’t? Who could have possibly predicted that?


Proton Mail is already junky and slow yet I bought into the mission. I admit that I was fooled. Subscribed earlier this year until 2028, though, so I’ll be on this sinking ship for a while.
Nothing, of course. We are going to continue to be tracked and spied upon regardless. Anyone with a phone in their pocket is already being spied upon 24/7. So-called smart devices and security cameras have also been recording us for years. Even our TV sets are now recording audio.
But having a rallying cry is enough for some people who want to rage and break things to not feel as bad about committing crimes. Anything to avoid that cognitive dissonance. Same group of criminal losers that have been calling for political assassinations and that riot and destroy people’s property and businesses. There’s always an excuse, but they just want to kill and steal. Not actually to solve anything, just to satisfy themselves.
We might stop the surveillance state somehow, but not by following childish suggestions like OP’s that are nothing but pretext.


Diesel doesn’t burn easily. It will put out a match. Gas is flammable because it aerosolizes.
