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!

    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.

    Add eggs to cold water, bring to boil, boil 3,5 mins (half-easy yolk) or 5 min (hard york), take the eggs out and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.

    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.

    So, when the kids I work with pass their driving test, I give them a present. In the bag is a seatbelt cutter/hammer tool, a small book on basic car maintenance, and a keyring that can fit a rolled up £20 note for emergencies. All useful things to have, and not very expensive

    I heard that you can pull out the headrest and insert one of its posts at the edge where the window comes out of the car door. That kind of glass is much easier to break from the edge rather than the center.

    That's actually is the most important part!! When you try to break the window. bottom left I believe...much easier than trying to punch through the middle. Plus there are a ton of gadgets out there to keep on your key chain. I bought each of my kids one when they started driving. https://www.amazon.com/RESQME-Original-Emergency-Keychain-Seatbelt/dp/B06Y2217F7/ref=sr_1_23?crid=2C8K6ZXA6FIUR&keywords=car%2Bwindow%2Bbreaker&qid=1642114237&sprefix=Car%2Bwindow%2Caps%2C230&sr=8-23&th=1

    The buckle becoming stuck doesn't really happen anymore because we no longer use the problematic style of buckles. Search "vintage gm seatbelt buckle" to see what I mean. The newer type where the button press is parallel to the axis of the buckle can be released even if under tension, the old kind cannot.

    Get the windows down immediately if you can. If you do have to use one of those window breakers, hit the glass in the bottom corner of the window. Easiest to break that way. It's actually easier to escape from a sinking car than you would think!

    Actually they changed it to where you can break the side windows as long as you hit in the corner and not the middle, the glass in the corners are thinner and are made to shatter when struck, but the glass in the middle is thick and will not break

    The post might have said that it could be impossible to open the car DOOR because of water pressure on the outside. If you can't escape through the windows, then you'd want to let the car fill up with water to equalize the pressure. Then you can open the door. Of course, you have to hold your breath and try not to panic while you're sinking, but it can be done.

    Another alternative is to just Jackson Pollack bleach all over the rest of it and make it a fashion statement.

    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.

    I carry a juiced up power bank and a charger cable in my handbag for just such an emergency. When my power bank is fully charged it has the capacity to charge my phone from dead twice over. When I get home I just recharge the power bank fro the next time I go out.
