Life hacks are awesome. Handy short cuts that let you get the boring stuff done quicker and easier, giving you more time to get on with the more important stuff, like playing with your dog or saving the world.
These life hacks however, are not that. These are parody life hacks, life hacks so creatively useless that the only thing they are good for is making you giggle uncontrollably. Which I guess is an end unto itself right? This is the sequel to our previous pro-tip shit list, which proved wildly popular!
Scroll down the list below and marvel at the absurdity of it all, but whatever you do don’t take any of this terrible advice on board, as some of them are actually pretty dangerous. Do vote for your favourite though!

Tired Of Boiling Water Every Time You Make Pasta? Boil A Few Gallons At The Beginning Of The Week And Freeze It For Later
Brilliant! I wonder if we could one day freeze water for later use as ice!
I just throw my pasta in the hot tub. It's fun catching all of the noodles when the jets come on.
This is from a series of advice hacks that was published for people in Florida, preparing for a hurricane. Stores are often immediately sold out of water bottles. This is cheaper and easier.
This is a good idea when a hurricane or any storm is coming and you may lose power. It will help your frozen last longer and a water source when it melts.
Fun fact: The hot water will freeze faster than cold or room-temperature water would :)
Delta T. Learned in heat transfer and fluid flow. But this isn’t a “life hack” nor is it utter stupidity as this article is. You quite literally posted a science fact on a page that has nothing to do with science facts.

I dont get this??? I thought the whole point of boiling water makes it hot enough to cook the noodles??? Am i missing something? True, this may make it easier for filling my hummingbird feeders but water would still need to be warmed to melt the sugar!
My familiy eats so much pasta, but we only have a small freezer - should I buy another one and keep it in the laundry or something?
This hack stolen from Gracie Allen on the George Burns and Gracie Allen Show.
How much spaghetti can you eat in a week. You still have to boil it to cook the Spaghetti??????
ROFLMAO, don't know whats worse, the idiots or those that are just insane!!!
Doesn't really save much time IF you forget to thaw it out the day before you need it!!!!
Wow. I just kills me that people actually think this might work. HEY PEOPLE! When you freeze water it becomes ice. F*****g ice, period. Full stop. ICE.
This was an old Gracie Allen Joke. She was tired of boiling water for all her recipies, so she froze a bunch so next time she needed boiling water, all she had to do was defrost it!!
Saves time. And it tastes almost as good as making it fresh — you can hardly tell the difference!
I'd love to know how many people did this after reading about this hack. Too funny.
OK I'm thick I guess - why would this save time? Still has to boil to cook pasts?????
When I am in a rush, I lower the air preasure to lower the boiling tempature of water. ;)
Why not just use cold water. Cooks pasta really well. Did you know that?
you still have to boil the water to cook the pasta,why boil it 2 times ?????
