Life hacks can be cool. Designed to allow you to do things quicker and easier, they aim to give you more time to enjoy what matters most in life, like scrolling through Instagram or binging a TV show. But quite a few of these handy shortcuts fall short of their intents and purposes.

So much so that they've spawned plenty of parody tips. Like using a snake to hold your pasta. Or setting up a fake online dating profile and arranging a date with them after the two of you match just so they would clean your home. And you can find all of them on the subreddit '[Lousy] Life Hacks.'

Also bury a dead animal over the body so that if they do dig up the plant, they'll think that the smell was coming from the animal

Unfortunately they may start to suspect it’s not tea when you begin slurring your words and betting people $5 that you can do a handstand on your desk.

I once took huge bag of oregano through customs without thinking. I'd picked and dried it myself, and didn't think what it looked for too long. Even when the girl at bag check held it up, I shrugged and said it was a years supply. Luckily as our entire luggage was food related, customs laughed as they checked it out.
