Guy Is Sharing Useful Tips He Wishes He Had Known Sooner, And Here Are 29 Of The Best Ones (New Posts)

Yes!! I did this with fresh picked basil last week!!!

Christmas tree needles make it Christmas for months.

I tried this with a flatmates blender years ago and a cloud of sugar came out the blender like it had caught fire. I utterly $hit myself thinking I'd written off her new blender and stuck to buying it pre-powdered ever since.

So cool! I’ll have to use this trick

Let's see this without using the wall to keep your balance

With my freakishly short Achilles’ tendons that is never going to work

this is known as the asian squat

Who squats on the balls of their feet? You'd fall over.

In Germany we call it 'Russenhocke' the 'Russian Squat'

That's true. If you do it correctly your center of gravity is even lower and falling is a thing of fiction

A lot of people can't put their feet flat, because their Achilles tendon won't stretch, so this one is kind of bunk.

Not everyone's physiognomy allows them to squat flat footed.

I've never been able to squat flat-footed.

I knew an Indian guy at work who could still do this in his 30s, but no chance I could do it, even in my 30s and definitely not now

My knees hurt just looking at this. Ugh!

I can’t do that. My legs are to long. I’m not in proportion.

Depends on why you are squatting.

If you keep your legs far enough apart, it's actually not that difficult.

actually, if you let yourself drop, your body will naturally balance itself when you use flat feet...no leg strain at all...and, if you've ever been to asia, you know it is the perfect position for pooing

Swatting on the balls of your feet tires your legs out a lot faster.

Asians have been doing the flat foot for generations. lol.

I broke the ball of my foot squatting incorrectly!!

It’s called the Hindi squat…you can sit like this much longer. Just check out Indian Women, they can sit for hours like that.

No I don't...I can't bend like that anymore...

Well you CAN squat and stay on the balls of your feet. Sure, being flat-footed gives you more flexibility and is more stable when you have the flexibility to do it, but I love this assertion that you "do not" do it a certain way.

Travel pillows go in whatever position you feel more comfortable.

Roll, poke and put it in the microwave for 20 seconds. So much juicier that way, especially limes

Vegetable peelers also work well for this.

That’s amazing! I’ve got to get one.

Isn't this common knowledge?

I find this dubious. Cutting anything in a grinder necessarily dulls the blades somewhat. Might it "clean out" some of the residue there? Maybe. But saying that it "sharpens" the blades has to be wrong. Let's take this to it's logical conclusion: according to him, a grinder that is used only for rice would never get dull. I could be wrong, but this sounds like something that keeps getting passed around but is ultimately based on nothing.

Nope.

I didn't realize these chairs were so difficult to fold and unfold.

I just use my belly and press it against the counter to suck out as much as I can and fold it up. lol

Or you can tap the sides of the lid with spoon, knife, or fork

We tried this and it ended up being more of a hassle than it was worth. We were hanging curtain rods though. I just got the vacuum and my husband did the drilling. lol

Actually only some cars do this

Depends on the sleeping bag. Modern ones with the loose stuffing, just ram it into the bag. Older ones with a flat layer of stuffing, you need to roll

If you have a kitten, everything in your house with legs has tiny holes in them.

Obviously 🙄

Loopy loopy

Who doesn't know this???

B******t - it does the opposite.
