HACKSSXXORS

Tard First??!!

this is actually pretty cool and i will be saving it

Throw away all your socks, go out and buy 32 pairs brand new, all exactly the same brand, colour and size.

Now you never have to spend time matching up socks and you only need to do a laundry once a month. Reckon I've saved two months worth of dicking around in a sock drawer the past twenty years.

@Steven

I'm so throwing all of my boyfriends old socks out and buying him a bunch of identical ones. That's brilliant in it's simplicity.

the banana part is true.... try opening your bananas [in the LITERAL sense] from the bottom instead of the part that you normally do..... or something

GW is saying monkeys are smarter than people!!! =p

Here ya' go.

There may be porn ads.

@Nitro there was porn ads for sure, opened it with my family in the room. Sweet chart though

sweeeeet porn

@4: Ha! I do that!

i dont understand the chain lock one

A coworker and I tried the elevator hack this way in addition to the hold the door close button the whole time way because you can literally spend 15min waiting for the elevator, sadly neither works :(
The banana thing is also semi-retarded. Honestly, if you have trouble opening a banana you probably don't have the ability to read this.

boo-yah! 2nd GDub post in a week!

keep in mind
if u use these u will get a computer launched at you
haha u got pwnd chuckles

a hotel janitor once taught me how to do an alternate version of domestic hack #3 using one of those plastic "do not disturb" signs. this works when the "chain" is actually one of those metal loops, which are more common in modern buildings. simply open the door as far as you can, insert the sign between the door and the loop, and close the door again. if the sign is stiff and resilient enough, it should force the loop away from the latch.

Ya the battery thing I heard of a while ago, so we tried it ; and was welcomed by a big mess of battery acid, NOT AA batteries. I'm not sure if this was the brand or a Canadian thing, but the only battery of that size that was for sale at Walmart in Ontario didn't work for that trick.

What The Hell were you doing hanging out with a Hotel Janitor?
ok unless he is a family member, or you're training for the job which is ok
that story just sounded like the creepiest thing I've ever heard, a guy that hangs out with a janitor and the janitor teaches him tricks to open people's hotel rooms,

This could make for a really good horror movie plot, or a homosexual porn movie plot either way made me laugh really hard!

I'm calling BS on the one about covering up 1 eye in the dark like a pirates eye patch. Both pupils will constrict in response to a bright light, even if only one eye sees the light. Unless you have brain damage.

It's called the consensual response of the pupillary light reflex.

I'm not a doctor but I play one on TV. Well, actually I am a doctor.

These are pretty useful. A lot of them are covered on older life hack infographics. I have a whole folder of them.

A few of them, I have tried, like the elevator one, and they do work.
And the banana one is really useful.

lol that battery thing is total horseshit, who believes that? hahaha

Has already been proved to work - MythBusters Episode 71: Pirate Special

jeremy james @ biley

Mythbusters trumps medical science, sorry fellas

LOL really? how did that happen? :D

Behold the wisdom of generation internet: Save a life with coconut water.

We're fucking doomed and deserve it.

a lot of these are taken straight from the comments of a post on Reddit a few months ago! http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/bi1xh/reddit_what_are_your_best_lifehacks/

still one of the most useful infographics I've ever seen :) reddit gets cred at the source link but i wanted to mention it here as well :)

Tom Hanks thinks @cockslap is a douche

this is the most useful thing ive seen posted here in the 4 months ive been coming. this is awesome. i will do all of these now.

closing one eye is to preserve retinol not pupil dialation "dr. Bob"

someone call the cops, or tom cruize its been hours without a new post. i hope gdub didn't get mugged by some indigenous mexican

I found an easy way to save time when making mashed potatoes... instead of using a knife to cut the taters before boiling, I use an apple corer. Most potatoes are the exact size of the apple corer and if you use red potatoes, then you don't have to peel them.

OLD!
GW try to keep up I saw this a few weeks back...
C'mon now I'm sure you can put up another post, I mean really I'm gay your gay even NAAS IS FUCKING GAY I MEAN C'MON!!

@Tennist0
You my friend are now a disgrace to this website!
Kill yourself...

@12 ken
I too, do not understand the chain lock one.

People actually believe this crap?!?!

Seriously?....................

For the record, the rubber band chain lock thing is a heck of a lot easier if you just stick the free end to the door with some tape. I have no freaking idea how you'd do it by hooking it to the knob (that'd have to be one giant assed rubber band too).

@32
You're a dumbass.
If you've been coming to this site for more than a week you would know that GW doesn't write on weekends.
I've been following for over a year, so I would know.

Isaac loves dick its a fact look it up

@31
You win +1 internet.
And 1 bonus point for the ""Dr.Bob"" thing at the end.

@20

Covering one eye does keep your night vision intact.

I was in the Army for 11+ years and they teach this in basic training for when you're in a fox hole at night and a illumination flare goes up, they have you cover one eye. I've tested and used this method in the field and it does work. soldiers have been trained to do this since world war two because a popular enemy tactic before charging a line at night is to launch an illumination flare after pre-warning all their soldiers to cover their eyes until it burnt out, then they would attack. Any Joe defending who didn't cover one eye would be at a huge disadvantage for about 5 minutes or so.

I've always eaten bananas that way. In fact my gf always makes fun of me because I eat them that way.

Maybe I'm missing something critical here, but what the hell's the point to the chain lock one? If you have to be on the inside of the door to begin with, how about just not putting the chain on? If it's someone else's room that you want to sneak inside again later, they're going to notice a rubber band on their doorknob.

So Geekologie is "Hints from Heloise" now?

LV–$59,Chanel–$59,just go to —mydiscountbag—.Big surprise!!

wow, this is a massive fail.

half of these are well known urban myths and just plain not true.

The other half are rather obvious hints that I'm not sure who would find helpful/useful.

There was maybe one useful hint, the coathanger one. Good for people too stupid to remember the last time they wore something.

What?

A towel on the pillowcase?

Why would that work on Acne?

PB&J hack- put the peanut butter on first so the jelly doesn't leak through.

Free mail w/o postage hack- switch the Addresser and addressee on the envelope. When the mailman returns it to the sender for lack of postage, it will go to the recipient.

@40
Bravo! You fail!!
Perhaps next time you say that to yourself
Here's a fact!
Over 12,756 people use the word dick as an insult and your one of the 12,756 which means you hereby FAIL

I only just found out that if you add register.php to the URL you can make an account lol...

GW, Please post soon. I have nothing to read

@49

Dirt and oil from your face end up on your pillowcase, among other things. If you don't wash your pillowcase often, essentially you're sleeping in your own grime. Placing a clean towel on your pillow every night prevents the buildup of all that nasty acne-causing stuff. While I doubt it'll "cure" most cases of acne, I do believe it can help.

I hate when people try and convince me of the banana trick. Bananas have a built-in pull tab that works every time. Who are the people who are having trouble opening a banana? And what kind of argument is, "Monkeys do it"? Monkeys dig shit out of their asses.

And by the way, I, too, do not get the lock one.

Some cool, some not, some sound like total BS.

But I wanna know who actually has trouble getting a banana open? ahhahahaha do you have a cork on the end of your fork and wear a crash helmet to catch a bus???

AND......Free stuff hacks.....Free Air......Do you ACTUALLY have to pay to put air in your tyres at service stations in the US......??? REALLY??? You have to PAY for AIR??? bwahahahahahaahhaha pay for air, ah shit thats a good one!

@52
You better not be trollin

I guess he's taking the weekend off, or his roomba killed him

I regrettably report that GW passed away last night after complications in surgery, after trying to thin his blood to remove a blood clot.

I don't know what to say, im still in shock.. when i feel up to ill do a new post.. we will miss you old friend, and all the love in the world to those closest to you who you have left behind.

@59 Son of a Bitch! I knew something was wrong, he never misses posts. That just breaks my heart. :(

A coworker and I tried the elevator hack this way in addition to the hold the door close button the whole time way because you can literally spend 15min waiting for the elevator, sadly neither works.
r4

@59 you f'ing cock bag, I hope you die of AIDS!

...srsly tho, anyone know where GW is?

Such pictures are great!

@everyone wondering where GW is, he hasn't been posting on the weekends for months, don't you pay attention at all? it's called a weekend for a reason...dumbasses

@51 I know the kid so please relax. Go back to your room, and calm down. And you just used it in an insult too. Thus you fail more.

I tried the elevator one. It always stops at the lobby, even when no one is there. Lame.

Hey you guise,

I can't understand the one fixing your internal clock. I just started going back to school but feeling tired and sleepy, after sleeping all day & gaming all night during the summer. Anyways, what am I supposed to do? Someone explain in dumb monkey form, pl0x <3
- Angela

I don't understand the lock one. What's the point of having it there if it unlocks when you close it?

STOMACH / INTESTINE PAINS -

If you have stomach or intestine pains (maybe ate some bad food or something), then open up one hand and press down on it a little up and to the right of the flexor pollicis brevis with the thumb of the other hand...:

http://www.eorthopod.com/sites/default/files/images/hand_anatomy_muscles01.jpg

So yeah, press down on that flexor pollicis brevis area (either hand) and hold it for about ten seconds, push hard but not to the point where your nail is digging into your palm or anything, this causes almost instant pain relief.

Girlfriend taught me this when I became ill from some improperly cooked takeaway food, it REALLY helped. :)
