They say intelligent people learn from their mistakes and clever people learn from others' slip-ups but internet personality Sidneyraz thinks that life is a combination of both. The man has dedicated much of his online content to telling people things he wishes he had known before turning 30, and he definitely filled a niche: over 1.3M TikTokers and 2.34 Instagrammers are following him.

Since Sidneyraz is really productive and constantly releases new uploads, we at Bored Panda decided that our earlier article on him wasn't enough and put together a follow-up publication. From the "right" way to open an English muffin to filling up an ice cube tray without splashing water all over the kitchen, continue scrolling and check out some of his latest posts!

How To Hang Things On The Wall

How To Hang Things On The Wall

I can't believe I'm bout to show you this. [...] Take some tape. Place it on the back and mark where the holes are. Take that piece of tape. And put it on the wall. Tap tap tap in the hole pull the tape off. And then hang it beautifully.

nails are perfectly fine for hanging small things....leaves only a tiny hole---unlike screws....

While this "life-changing piece of advice" is more or less common knowledge, nails will not only never stick in this kind of wall, nails are generally unsuited to wall-mounting very much anything except pictures. You would need screws and proper expansion dowels (or better a plasterboard dowl in this case). Apart from that, drilling holes just freehand without measuring first only highlights an exceptional lack of basic understanding.

    Sidneyraz told Bored Panda he decided to start this series after people really liked his video 'Here's something you should know about being in your 30s. It's better than your 20s.'

    "My most popular videos are ones that have to do with the most common items that people use. Travel pillows, English muffins, trash bags, plungers, and so on," the creator explained. "We all use the same things every day and [without questioning them] because that's how we were taught, but we have no idea why or if it's even right. So when I post a video showing a different way, it blows minds."

    Oh? I never checked this one out, but I assumed it was because of typewriters. When you had to physically pull a switch that would move up the component of the letter imprint allowing you to input the symbol on the upper symbol on the key ending, which usually was, indeed, an upper case.

    Depends on the toilet in question. We had one at work that sprayed like a sneaky fountain, I showed it to maintenance by putting paper over the hole before flushing. Evidence. Oh and it was the disabled toilet, and it didn't even have a lid. Not good.

    Of course, Sidneyraz thinks there's more to this life stage than life hacks. "We tend to experience both heartbreak and true joy before our 30s too. There are large ups and downs but, hopefully, they help us to be more empathetic people. They’re hard lessons but needed."

    "I’m learning all these things too and I don’t want anyone to feel as alone as I have in the past when I didn’t know something [older folks understood quite well]," the TikToker added.

    I cannot for the life of me control my eye shutting reflex, so if I need eye drops I tilt my head back, pull my lower lid down near the tear duct side, and put drops on that wee spot where sleep forms etc, and flick my head and blink it in. A ridiculously complex way, but the only way to get them in properly and bodily XD

    4 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    Way I do it is tilt my head back, I start with the outside corner of my left eye and put a drop in the while my head is still titled back I turn my head to the right so the drop runs across the rest of my left eye. Then I do the right eye outter corner and turn my head to the left. Sometimes if needed I apply a secound drop starting from the inside corner of my eyes too. So I would turn my head left for my left eye then and right for my right eye so the drop can run across my eye. Just always found it easier that way and not have to blink my eyes as much afterwards.

    Same. I have this spontaneous and uncontrollable reflex to close my eyes when I have to apply medicine. Seriously. Tried it alone, tried it with other people's help, even doctors (to my embarrassment) can't have it easy with my paranoid eyelids. So I have to do it like that. Corner and slide.

    I tilt my head back, pry open the upper and lower lid, drop a drop square onto the ol peeper and release. I get as much of my medication into my eye as I can (otherwise, why bother?). I do NOT touch the bottle to my face/eye. When I was a child, I would put the nozzle into the corner of my eye near the nose and squeeze out a drop, but I think that was to make sure I didn't miss back then.

    I mean, you just have to wait for carbonation to resettle in your drink. It's probably fine to load it from the top.

    I think it's no coincidence that Sidneyraz started this series in his early 30s.

    Robert Taibbi, a licensed clinical social worker with 48 years of experience, primarily in community mental health, said that research on adult development tells us that our lives move in waves: several years of relative stability and focus, then several years consumed with bursts of unrest.

    "Part of the challenge of [the early 30s] comes from the fact that your life has actually settled. For many of us, the 20s were filled with tremendous changes – finishing college or some higher ed, deciding on some major or career path, venturing forth. If not doing more schooling, moving into jobs that may or may not become a possible career. Relationship-wise, either a lot of dating or even marriage. Regardless, lots of activity and anxiety," Taibbi wrote in Psychology Today. "Now you are likely somewhat settled – in the marriage or the job/career. You have the time to catch your breath and take stock of where you are in your life." Which can include creating a TikTok account and telling others what you've learned!

    Korea here. Each company is different on this matter. Ours has annual evaluation twice (but the raise is happening only once a year), and, in the past years, we had to write a report, just as described by this post entry. Then it switched to some kind of weird online form to fill, then it was only interviews. We'll see what's next.

    However, that doesn't mean that life gets easy when you enter your fourth decade. In fact, this time can come with added pressure to hit adult milestones.

    If youve never owned a home before look into NACA First-time Homeowners Program. You have to sit through a seminar for a few hours while they walk you through what they do and the steps to buying a home but after that you get a counselor that guides you through every step of the process AND they will pay your down payment and closing costs. And in some areas they will pay you more if you buy a house in a certain town.

    I'm sure I've heard before that serving sizes are a sneaky way for food manufacturers to make it "look" like a (for example) packet of crisps (potato chips) is less calorific/ has less saturated fat etc than it actually does. So when you glance at the nutrition it says something like 198 calories so the consumer assumes that for the entire bag. However there's usually a little * hiding somewhere and when you look at that it says "per 30g serving". As the bag in total is 90g it's actually 594 calories.

    A package of ramen has about 300 - 600 calories. Which is completely OK for a one person meal. This would bring the calory count for one portion to 150-300 calories while filling half a cup, which is not even close to a sufficent meal. Unfortunately there really are a few manufacturers who print this "2 servings per package" rubbish on their products.

    Yeah, it’s a bit much if you’re eating a whole pack of ramen three times a day, but like most dinner and even lunch meals have 600ish calories.

    A good example of this is a study where researchers asked folks in their 30s and 70s which of these groups they think are happier. Both groups answered the 30-somethings, but when they were asked about their own subjective well-being, the 70-somethings scored higher.

    So when you hit your 30s, remember that it's probably a good idea to not only give but seek some good advice as well. And don't compare yourself to others. Continue building your life. You're on the right track

    Please don't mix measurement systems, you'll give yourself a seizure. If the length of the tape carcass is given in metric, do the whole thing in metric. If you really really want it in imperial, divide by 25.4 at the end, you'll get a more accurate figure including fractions of an ince. 70mm is 2.7559in, but that's not to say everyone's tape measure has a 70mm carcass.

    Combining metric and imperial measurements is a recipe for desaster, like in NASA's 1999 Climate Orbiter Fiasco, costing them 125 millions of dollars. Apart from this, this is not even mathematically correct (it should be 32,75 inches, whcih might very well matter if you really try to fit some device or to cut out a shelf). But maybe the time is just right for the U.S. to finally join the rest of the world in switching to metric.

    For most people, yes. However, there are more rural areas where you actually have to travel to a central location to dump your trash. This post is about making a nice tight seal (hence preventing smells and leaks). I already do what he’s suggesting, because my trash will sit inside (or in my car) until I’m ready to drive it to the main dumpster. I can’t leave it outside or the raccoons and other critters will get into it. :)

    You can light a sparkler from the bottom, but why? If you use it by itself, you would have to hold the lighter (see above) where your fingers should be, thus probably just burning your hand without acutually archieving anything. If you use it as a decoration (e.g. sticking it into a cake or similar), lighting from below is not really an option, as access is more difficult. "Just because you can" nearly never is a good reason to do something.

    I fill mine in the freezer tray with our water jug. That I way I don’t spill water everywhere moving the tray from the sink to the freezer. I don’t have the steadiest hands

    Not easy when you are short though! The freezer tray is above the height of my shoulders so that's pretty difficult for me

    Have always known this. That's one of the reasons most cube trays have little dents in the corner of each cube hole. It allows them to overflow and pour down into the next row. Those with dents are better than the one he's using in the picture.

    What benefit does this bring, and at what angle should I hold it?

    The water fills a cup and flows down and fills the other cups. Have you never done this?

    Yes, doing so means it won't overflow or have the cubes freeze together

    Also, you wave a dead cat around at midnight, run in circles and shout "Hokuspokus beveregicus" to stop cans from exploding...

    A new take on a completely wrong principle. Cornell University disproved the can-tapping myth in 1999: "Results: For shaken cans, there was no statistically significant difference in the mass of beer lost when tapping compared to not tapping (mean difference of -0.159g beer lost with tapping, 95% CI -0.36 to 0.04). For unshaken cans, there was also no statistically significant difference between tapping and not tapping. Conclusion: These findings suggest that tapping shaken beer cans does not prevent beer loss when the container is opened."

    Nope, it comes from the Middle English 'Tek', which means to tap. There are a whole host of similar English words orbiting around touch, tap, tag, tig, which can mean touch, strike or mark.

    It's not even a backronym, because it's a word. And that's not its etymology.

    Absolutely not true. The origins go way back to Middle English, basically meaning to touch or tap, and is known as tig in many parts of the UK, not tag.

    The game 'tag' is essentially where you touch someone and run away after you TAG them, hence, touch and go

    You tag something to mark it. Just like tags on clothing and everything else. The acronym is coincidence.

    What he described is the way hairdresser holds scissors. But you will not see me holding them like that while cutting through fabric.

    That’s how you hold hair dressing shears (ex hairdresser), and the holes are spaced to allow you to use them that way, you’d break a finger trying to cut with your ring finger and most other scissors. I sew and craft, and have never held another pair of scissors this way, only my shears. They’re designed that way because they need barely any pressure (your ring finger is your weakest), and total control, and it’s also more ergonomic. You need leverage for most things, hence for normal scissors you use one or more of your stronger fingers, ffs most scissors come with big spaces for exactly that reason.
