This Online Group Collects Random Advice On “How To Do Anything And Everything Yourself” And Here’s 40 Of The Best Ones
Life hacks are basically an entire subgenre of online content. The trend has permeated all the social media platforms and gained a somewhat notorious reputation for being either inexplicably absurd (like, chopping onions with a face shield or getting stains out of your shirt with shaving foam) or simply “but why?”-inducing.
But luckily, the internet is one endless black hole (can we all just agree on that description?) and that means there should be some genuinely useful tips to make our lives easier and more efficient floating around. Well, if you are like me, in search of ways to make yourself do stuff by yourself, proving that you’re an independent responsible millennial adult, the chances are, sooner or later, you’d stumble upon the “How To” subreddit.
According to the sub’s description, it’s a place “where you can learn how to do anything and everything yourself! Need advice on how to start a podcast or how to fix your car? It's all here from A-Z!” So if it seems like a promise, a whopping 2.9M followers prove it overdelivers.
Scroll down through the most useful bits of random advice below that may be the solution you were looking for all this time!

How To Find A Lost Dog

my (indoor) cat escaped shortly after we moved. She was lost for two days. I did this. Put a little table outside with her blanky and some water. Next morning she was lying there. Also works for cats!

I've also had a lot of success by placing some used cat litter around. I've had rescue cats escape, and putting cat litter they've used outside seems to help them orient themselves. Often times the day after I've put some of their litter around I will see them hiding in the bushes.

There was a story where I live that made the news a while ago, where a guy from a different country was visiting with his dog to hunt in the mountains. The guy had a medical emergency mid hunt and had to be flown back, leaving the dog. The other hunters searched for it but it would just run away whenever they got close, so when the owner was out of the hospital again they contacted him and got him to send some of his clothing. By then the dog had been out in the wild for I think two or three weeks, avoiding people, but with his owners clothing they finally got him to come forward so he could be rescued!

No matter how badly you want to learn this. It is impossible to draw like this if you are not born with that skill or talent already. That has always fascinated me how some can draw so well. It's definitely a gift because you were literally created in the womb to have that ability. While others are born without it. Think about that, what is it that makes you created that way? Was it a dab of ingredients in our makeup? Like how we make a cake? What is the ingredient? I've always wondered about that.
Aliquid 4 years ago
I agree that being good at this does require a talent that you are born with, but it also requires a substantial amount of practice and repetition. Even just silly doodles as a kid is practice for control of the pencil and making things look the way you want. An interesting point is that's ANOTHER thing you are born with (in my opinion), the dedication to practice on purpose, and the desire to constantly doodle.

When I was in 8th grade (a loooong time ago), our history teacher had us write a test ourselves, as a homework. The topic we had just gone through was Middle Age. He only specified the number of questions and rough framework conditions ... such as whether drawings or diagrams should appear etc. That was our test ... and we all passed. It was his way to check, what we had learned and how much effort we were willing to put into it. Most of us actually had fun doing it, and he was even inspired by some of our unique questions. Who said a history test had to be boring?

The traditional education system puts so much emphasis on life changing exams. Here in the UK it's your GCSEs and A levels. Even just choosing which ones to do made me sick with anxiety; I felt like I was being forced at 14 to choose my entire life course. Was so fed up with school that I didn't go to uni until a few years later, when I went to art school and 70% of students on my course were mature students. One graduated at 65!

One way to go about it is setting a goal for yourself in order to learn something. Turns out, it’s a key to long-term happiness, as it gives you both a long-term vision and short-term motivation. First off, it focuses on you and makes you the creator of your own life in a world where we too often believe in coincidences. No wonder many of those who accomplish their dreams, goals or resolutions become much more confident in themselves.
Your journey of progress really depends on what kind of goal you set for yourself. It may be big or small, life-long, year-long or even a week-long goal. For some, it may be losing a few pounds, for others it’s getting promoted, learning a new language, running a marathon, overcoming a fear, you name it.

Had breakfast with a group of friends and asked everyone how they like their eggs. Prepared the pot with cold water and the eggs - went to use the bathroom.

In cold water and 3 minutes when it starts to boil or directly in boiling water for 6 minutes to have a soft boiled egg. - was just a little mad that they all thought 30 year old me didn't know how to boil an egg ;)

Happened to me (in a small way) in Australia. Visited Blue Lake in the Snowy Mountains, It had maybe 6 inches of ice - perfectly clear too, with millions of columns of small bubbles. Anyway the Russian military tables of ice-thickness for different loads indicated this was OK for a medium-sized tank. Maybe it was, but it wasn't good for an 80kg bushwalker. Fortunately I was only a few meters out from the edge and water only about a meter deep.

The video is amazing. Also useful knowledge: the best place to crawl onto is probably the direction back you came from, because it did hold your weight. Any other direction, the ice may not be thick enough.

Went through once (-40ish) but the water was moving fast. My elbows caught the edge or I'd have gone under and been swept down stream under the ice (its OK, I'm organic). Did this to get out. Then rolled in the snow to get water out of my clothes. Fortunately the car was not too far away but I was wearing a suit of armour by the time I got to it. Made it to town and never in my life have I appreciated a long hot shower as much. Should also say there was a huge surge of adrenalin when it was happening.

This guide should really be on the site and easily find-able. I don't know why it's such a secret. I already knew about "" and -, as well as site:, but not the others. Also, not really sure why they included the ~ or |. Google ALWAYS searches for associated words and will readily omit words it finds inconvenient, which makes it really frustrating when you're looking for something more specific, but not specific enough for "". In the last 15 or so years, they've just kept cramming in more and more associated words and choosing to ignore more of your must have search items, which is really frustrating. Wish there was an easy shortcut to turn those off. I'm guessing it's so that they can justify throwing more paid-for results at you. (also: *vertical, not verticle)

the site: search operation will also work on domains. for example site:.edu will only return results from education domains. .gov from government websites, .mil from non-classified military websites. etc. Very useful for finding legitimate sources when writing college papers
Another way to go about it is to try and become more useful to the people around you. The feeling that you are, in some way, useful to another human being is one of the most precious things that can boost your self-esteem, help the relationship, and give a sense of fulfillment. And to be so, you don’t have to be an inverter, entrepreneur or have a wall of diplomas.
The key to being useful to others is making them stand taller than you are. And it takes simple things like telling people their strengths when they forget about them, or helping them to avoid mistakes. Believing in others and telling them that is another way to empower those around you. Try listening without judgment as most often all people want is simply to be heard.
By doing that, we realize that our actions, our words, and our presence are capable of adding value to another human being’s life. And that is one hell of a life hack I wish to carry with me for years to come.

This Is How My Wife Protects Her Yarn From The Cats
Lousha 4 years ago
I needed a lot more than this. Our intentional (adopted with intent) cat was a very active baby when she moved in and soon it was evident that my open shelves I used for yarn stash will not do anymore. She attacked both yarn and shelves... So we got new, large wooden cupboards. Most expensive cat I ever owned :D Later she at least learned to not try to eat the yarn I'm using but I still had to hide any project/ball if I stood up for even a minute. With our accidental (she adopted us) cat the situation gotten a bit worse as she's actively hunting yarn, and is a very stubborn one who doesn't want to learn that yarn is not a toy. Blocking (stretching out and pinning down wet knitting on a yoga mat to shape it to finished size) gotten a lot harder too as it sometimes takes days for items to dry but you can't leave it anywhere near cats with sharp pins and "edible" spongy mats... Sigh... Some cats are not craft-compatible. But life's an adventure.

My less well behaved (meaning incredibly destructive) cat recently managed to steal a two inch length of cotton yarn despite all my caution. By the time I jumped up she ate it. (One of her weirdo habits is eating absolutely everything except what's meant to be eaten.) Since it was a small piece and it was non toxic material we decided to wait and see instead of stressing her with a vet visit. Sure enough she produced a nunchuck the next day... Now I hide yarn even more.

You can reuse cleaned large soda and juice bottles, too. Cut it in half, put your skein in and string the end through the neck, and tape the bottle back together. Alternatively, you can cut the bottom off to insert the skein and just have it sitting in a basket or bag where it isn't necessary to have a bottom (this is a good choice if you are using several different skeins on a single project).

This reminds me of when my sister saved my life at a festival. It was day 1 of a 3 day festival & the field we were on was measuring 120°F (~48.9°C). I was watching a band, when one of the main performers had to run off to the side of the stage because she started vomiting from the heat. They ended their set early that day. And then I noticed that I had stopped sweating. Now, I am not an outdoors person & never have been or will be, so I had no idea that when you stop sweating, it's dangerous. Luckily, my sister had a press pass & access to an unlimited amount of cold water bottles, which she brought to me after putting me in the shade. By the time I got to the shade I was already throwing up. So it was progressing pretty quickly. She spent a good 2 hrs with me, forcing me to drink more water & pouring the water all over me until I was cooled enough. I definitely learned a lesson that day. And I will always consider it the day my sister saved my life.

The main risk is creating a spark when disconnecting from the post. Batteries put out oxygen and hydrogen when charging and a spark from disconnect can cause an explosion with the additional risk of battery acid spraying on you. NEVER charge an automotive battery in an enclosed space. Making the "last to connect/first to remove" a metal ground away from the battery is the safest option.

kaycee14 4 years ago (edited)
When I was about 15, we had a heavy snowfall overnight. I went out to shovel our driveway and the path to the front door. We were also responsible for clearing the public sidewalk in front of our property, and if we wanted our mail delivered we had to clear about 6 feet on each side of our curbside mailbox. I worked for hours and got it done, sweaty and exhausted. Just as I turned to walk back to the house, the snowplow came down the street for a second time, leaving a big berm of slushy snow where I had cleared the mailbox and driveway. I burst into tears, threw the shovel, and pitched a stomping/flailing/cursing tantrum on my way into the house. As I'm taking off my snow gear I hear a noise, peek through the window, and see that the snowplow driver had backed up and was clearing away the berm of snow! He moved on before I could bundle up again, but I've always been grateful for the kindness he showed an exhausted teenaged girl pitching a hissy fit.

How To Sleep Warm When You Are Outside
Dawn Bodtke 4 years ago
I was taught no water and make sure your bladder is empty. The less fluid your body has to keep warm is heat that can be used for the rest of your body.

martin734 4 years ago
The type of sleeping back you use is very important. Mummy bags with hoods and internal drawstring baffles are best. Buy the smallest one you can comfortably fit in, the less space inside your bag means less air your body has to heat to keep warm. Try to avoid putting your sleeping bag directly on the ground or groundsheet. A 10 mm foam roll mat can make a huge difference to your warmth.

I certainly learned the importance of #8. We put our sleeping gear on air mattresses. There was frost on the ground. We ended up spending the night in the car, occasionally starting the car to run the heater. Turns out air mattresses don't make good insulators.

I explain that the ship has sailed, I'm in a relationship and it's going well, and I wish him all the best. He talks about what a shame that is, and sends me a photo of his latest bonsai 😂 A few weeks later, I'm having birthday drinks with my boyfriend, and he messages me again, just with a "hey".

How To Read Braille
Elmie Pumpkinbush 4 years ago
Given that there's 64 possible combinations, why do some numbers coincide with the letters?
martin734 4 years ago
The above chart does not show punctuation, contractions, short forms or context symbols. To differentiate between numbers and letters you use the number symbol immediately before the number. The number symbol is marked by the hash in the above chart. For example, the number 10 would be the the number symbol immediately followed by the 1 and 0 symbols. The Literary code is used in text documents, the Nemeth code is used exclusively for mathematical and scientific notation.

How To Tell If Egg Is Fresh

Nadine Debard 3 years ago
People can wash the eggs if they want, but just before use, not right after purchasing them. As Mermaid Elle-Jaye said, there is a protective layer on the eggs that prevent bacteria to enter inside them. If you remove it, you expose the egg to infections. As the chicken poop is outside, it doesn't contaminate the eggs.

Mask Effectiveness Guide (DIY Compared To Surgical/N-95)
Daniel Marsh 4 years ago
Wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. This is the percent of particles equal to .3 microns that are filtered out. A small enough particle will fit through ANY hole. (N-95 are sold static-charged, which makes them better at stopping particles than they otherwise would be.) And fun fact: guess what happens when you trap particles in a steamy, damp face mask? So no, scraves and bandanas can be WORSE than 0 percent effective. Here's a tip-off of bad reporting: there IS NO Missouri University. It's either the University of Missouri or Missouri University of Science and Technology, known as Missouri S&T and most definitely not Missouri U.

It's not as bad as it seems. "Seasoning a new pan" only needs to be done once, "removing rust" shouldn't be necessary at all, unless you've inherited a rusty one. In 15 years I have never needed to "season occasionally" as simply cooking in it maintains the coating.

There's nothing like cast iron for putting a good sear on a steak! Plus, the surface becomes non-stick, you can put the pan in the oven, and it lasts for decades. And like others have said, after the initial seasoning cast iron is easy to take care of. A worthwhile investment.
