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

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

Or you can run hot water over the lid for 30 seconds. Metal lid dilates just enough to make it easier to open.

I personally love the rubber bologna thingy, if there is one to be had.

Or bang it upside down a time or two.

Slip the tip of a butter knife under the lid, over where the twist on begins and pull upwards. The top will pop when you've got it, easy open.

JFC NO NO NO NO this dude is an idiot, 1, you can break the glass even chips u dont see, it can go in the food. 2, you render the lid useless. nah man, run it under hot water then try failing that, use some rubber bands around the lid and try.

Rubber band around the lid makes it easy work

My aunt taught me to whack the bottom of a hard to open glass jar or bottle with the heel of my hand. It usually works, though it can hurt a little.

I've used a butter knife just fine.

You could let hot water run over a metal lid, works exceedingly well.

Another one !

Or slip a bread knife under the lid, push up and it breaks the seal.

You can try opening it wearing plastic gloves. Magic.

All the time.

Just flip it over, and give it a few good whacks. If that doesn't work, whack it some more, and use the bottom of your shirt to get a better grip. Or, I guess you could buy one of those rubber circle things. Lol.

Wouldn't this mess up the re-seal?

and the lid is useless

If you are using a bottle opener and prying it side ways won't it bend the lid, then the lid will be useless

Knife or hot water for me

You just need release pressure Whatever you have OR smack bottom of jar hard with your hand .

This old lady uses channel lock pliers.

Sweet! I'll be using that trick! (Kinda embarrassed I never thought of this before...)

Under cabinet mounted jar opener means no rummaging around for a band or glove or silverware you're willing to sacrifice to the jar lid gods.

Like LMW said. Or just tap the lid on the edge of counter.

But only if you don’t want to be able to put the lid back on.

I read a book in which a wizard tried a jar- opening spell. The notes mentioned the results would be loud. A monstrous looking thing appeared out of nowhere with a giant shriek, grabbed the jar from the shocked wizard, twisted it open, set both jar and lid on the floor, and disappeared with another shriek.

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???
