Whenever my friend goes to one of those drive thrus with the ai ordering thing, he asks for 10,000 cups of water to get a human to talk to.
“Fake it til you make it” is just self gaslighting and makes the world a less honest place
Destroying your cell phone battery to make a fire. So you’re in an emergency and you just gave up your method of communication as a one-shot lighter. Hope your kindling isn’t wet, and your phone battery isn’t too low on charge.
All of those YouTube videos with the kids who are just incredulous that you can propagate pineapple from pineapple tops, plant green onion ends or garlic and get green onions or garlic, and say they have “discovered an amazing life hack”.
Being a two time college drop out and seeing shit like so and so was a drop out and is now rich.
The key is learning and applying knowledge.
Dropping out of college is ridiculous life advice.
There was a study in the economist saying that earning potentials in uni drop outs were worse than both grads and people who didn’t do higher education.
That makes perfect sense. I’m guessing people rarely drop out by choice. If you run into problems that prevent you from completing your degree, those problems probably aren’t going to disappear just because you drop out, so it’ll also affect your ability to work as well, and thus also your earning potential. As long as the prevalence of these issues is relatively small in the population, it’ll get drowned out by everyone else in the no uni groups.

You can solve any academic problem with enough cash.
If you run out of money, you drop out. If you stressball and can’t complete courses, you drop out.
I’m the first generation to attend college, so maybe that blue collar spirit and a little luck kept me mostly in jobs since then.
I think in almost all of those cases they were rich to begin with. I mean fair play they’re a lot richer now than when they started, but still.
This is something important everyone forgets, the majority of those “self-made” billionaires started out as multi-millionaires.
I think the term life hack is ridiculous in itself. (Cue old man rant) In my day they were tips and advice. You’re not hacking anything. 😁
Careful, that rant might get rebranded as a life hack for surviving the internet. 😁
I’ve ranted about this myself. Glad I’m not the only one!
When the U.S. federal government shuts down ask your landlord if you can do maintenance work for rent
If the US federal government shuts down, this house becomes mine. What’s the landlord gonna do?
Call the local sheriff’s department and have you evicted. The federal government doesn’t do that stuff.
Let them come

“Cardboard Cooler” with cooling function using frozen plastic bottles.
I thought it was ridiculous to make your own air conditioner out of cheap materials, but apparently it’s actually quite cool.
However, the author of the article says that “the wind smells a little like metal.”

make your own air conditioner out of cheap materials
Such a pet peeve of mine when I see basic evaporative cooling called air conditioning. A/C is pretty specific in how it works using refrigerant, condensers, etc. to move heat from one place to another. They also dehumidify the air in the process. A/C and heat pumps are the same thing, just running in opposite directions. They use a lot of electricity to accomplish this movement and are effective in a wide range of temperatures.
Evaporative cooling simply moves air past/through a colder medium to lower the ambient temperature. Most commonly the only electricity used here is a simple fan, and maybe a water pump. This adds humidity to the air so it’s effectiveness drops off dramatically and the ambient humidity gets higher.
The only thing they have in common is making the air cooler, in completely different ways with dramatically different effectiveness and efficiency.
Air conditioning units actually condition the air.
I grew up in a house that had an air conditioning unit and an evaporative cooler (we called it a swamp cooler). Swamp coolers are awesome when you live in dry place. Only when the humidity gets too high you need to switch over to the AC. Swamp coolers are cheaper to run so cue arguments on trying to get my parents to switch to the AC when it starts getting humid. 😆
I’ve seen amazon listings call a fan an ac

If your freezer is in the same room as the ice you get from the freezer, this just warms your house more…
Yes but… If your house keeps returning to the outside temperature, then you are moving a lot of heat in a smaller area you occupy to a larger area that you don’t.
