Weird Tricks That Always Work For People


You've probably come across someone showing off one of these tricks, or made the discovery for yourself at some point. This life is brimming with mysteries, and unexpected developments. For instance, the fact that dead batteries bounce on a hard surface, and good batteries don't. Never know when that might come in handy. Or, maybe you were cooking up a decadent feast and want to remove the smell of onions/garlic from your hands, and now you know that rubbing a metal spoon against the aromas will get the job done.

Font - vizualdesperada · 21h 3 3 Awards Learned this a while back and for some strange reason it's actually helped. When you have an assignment to type out like an essay to write, use the comic sans font and your ideas just flow out of you. As opposed to times new roman or any other official font, you're less worried about the 'correctness' of each sentence and you can just write without being too much in your head.

Font - mintmouse • 14h Making a ground-beef based dish? Tacos? Chili? Sloppy Joe's? Hamburger Helper? Do you hate how ground beef shrinks up, floods the pan with moisture, and ends up tough, tight, gray and greasy? 1.5 teaspoon baking soda 2 Tablespoons water Mix it in a glass and drizzle it over the raw beef. Try to toss and coat and let it sit 20 minutes. Your beef will be more alkaline, brown super easily, hold onto moisture and stay plump and juicy. Brown beef not gray, with body and volume

Simply hammer a golf tee into the hole and snap/cut it off. Now your screw will bite and have holding power. I use this trick most often for door hinges. G Reply 248 •..

Font - Gnemlock • 13h Remote control not working? Look at the front end through your phone camera, and test the button. Your camera doesn't filter out the infra-red your eyes can't see. The bulb at the front will light up (on camera) if the remote is actually sending the signal, telling you if the problem is with the remote or the TV. Yes, I use to work in retail. Reply 229 ...

Font - brkh47 · 20h If you need to open anything with a tight screw top lid, just knock it (the lid part) a few times against a hard surface like a brick wall - it somehow releases the air pocket and you can unscrew it. Works every time, even with something like my Nutribullet, which sometimes just won't open - a few taps and voila!

Font - Wazzoo1 • 19h 4 Awards Not saying it'll work for everyone, but if you want to quit biting your nails, try wearing a rubber band on your wrist. Every time you bite, snap the rubber band. Eventually, you'll start snapping it at the mere thought of biting your nails. I was a habitual nail biter for probably 15 years. I was able to shake it after about a month and the habit never came back.
