"Suprisingly, hot water freezes faster than cold anyway."
mmmyeah.......no.....reminds me of the old "cold water boils faster than hot" myth


It's not a myth, but it is not understood, and doesn't happen under all conditions.

It's called the Mpemba effect and is an observable outcome.

Wait, he never thought of putting a youtube video in a different window whilst looking at other windows?

.... Wait, watching a youtube video is a life hack?

actually those vacuum bags work really well for saving space in luggage. they don't prevent wrinkles either>> ^ReverendTed:

Yes, you'll be able to pack more efficiently. No, it will not keep your clothes from getting wrinkled.

Another simple "life hack" (we used to call them "trucs de grande-mère" or "grandma tricks" in the old days):

To get smell of garlic/onion off fingers: rub your fingers on the inox sink/working counter.

Would you want to use diet soda so no sticky sugars, or does that not have citric acid?


If you are going for citric acid why not just use citric acid instead of the concoction ? I would think the grease comes off, then wash it off with water. Sugar and water are friends.

*** Oh wait, your talking about the video.. I have not watched the video. Off to do so now.

That is actually a pretty good idea, and could be used as a metaphore for life ! ALWAYS HAVE A BACKUP plan in case shit happens.

Life hack for leaky bags: Sick of cleaning out your garbage can after it springs a leak? Line your clean bin with two bags, one inside the other. When you take the full one out, if it rips and nasty garbage juice comes out, just put it back and take both bags. If not, throw out the full bag and put a new empty bag in. Voila. Clean bin forever.

The rubbish bags at the bottom of the rubbish bin is great until the one you're using gets a rip and spills liquid from the rubbish over all of your new bags.
