Life Hacks are everywhere these days - little bits of advice or tips to make your life easier.
Some of them started out being quite sensible but theres only so many good ones and now
- the internet is just flooded with terrible ones - life hacks that just don't make sense
at all.
Do you wanna see the worst?
Well, my name is Danny Burke and this is the Top 10 Dumbest Life Hacks.
Starting off at number 10 we have Coffee Egg.
Heres a life hack that none of you have ever thought to do - because its a terrible idea.
If youre in a hurry and youd like an egg and coffee in the morning - put the egg in the
coffee.
Thats right - the egg will become hard boiled and then youve got breakfast and a drink right
there.
Except, not really.
What youve actually got is a semi hard boiled egg covered in coffee and a coffee with bits
of egg floating in it.
Thats no way to start your morning.
Thats no way to start anything.
Except this list.
Next up at number 9 we have Minty Fresh.
No intro for this one, lets get straight into it -If youre hosting a dinner party and don't
have a lot of cash, make alternative after-dinner mints.
Simply freeze a tube of toothpaste, then cut it open and slice the contents into wafer-thin
pieces to produce your very own treats.
They look cool and will also leave your guests with fresh breath- … lovely.
What better way to finish off a nice meal than eating some toothpaste.
Toothpaste isnt harmful if you swallow a bit but that doesnt mean you should go out of
your way to eat it.
Very obvious advice but not obvious enough for some people …
At number 8 now we have Popcorn.
This one just annoys me.
Ive seen it everywhere.
Its a life hack for people who cant find a bowl for their popcorn - they put the popcorn
in their hoodie like this and turn it the other way round.
Oh.
Nice.
Thats cool.
Thats gonna make life a lot easier - sitting there like an animal with a feeding bag just
shovelling popcorn in to your face.
This guy is in what looks like quite a nice place, nice couch, watching TV - hes managed
to get hold of a can of beer - but a small bowl for the popcorn?
Impossible.
We need a life hack for that - no we don't.
Am I starting to sound anti fun?
I hope not.
Next up at number 7 we have The Bottle Opener.
There are a lot of lifehacks that tell you crazy ways to open a bottle of something - but
this has to be one of the dumbest.
Life Hack - open a beer with your seatbelt while driving.
There are a lot of times to practice beer opening life hacks - while driving a car is
not one of them.
Youre literally taking off a seatbelt that could save your life, to open a beer with
only one hand on the wheel, and then push yourself that little bit further towards being
over the alcohol limit.
What a great life hack.
At number 6 now we have The Mirror.
A wing mirror is very important for driving.
Without one, its very hard to see things by the side of your car.
This person knows how important it was to replace their broken mirror - but not properly.
Thats a CD.
Its been fastened in with a couple of elastic bands.
This person thinks that the CD will provide enough of a reflection that you can use it
like a normal mirror.
You definitely cant.
The only way this is excusable is if they are literally on their way to get their mirror
fixed - but I just don't think they are.
At number 5 now we have Dennys.
This was a post made by Dennys where they suggested a life hack for students to try
and stay awake while studying - dip your contact lenses in coffee and then stick them in your
eyes.
I dont have a medical degree.
I don't have contact lenses.
I don't really know the effects of caffeine on an eyeball - but I do have a little bit
of common sense.
And all of it is screaming, don't shove coffee into your eyeball.
Im worried for Dennys if this is their way of trying to increase coffee sales.
At number 4 now we have the Cheese Grater.
Check out this life hack where somebody is showing off how they can use their Mac Pro
computer - to grate cheese.
Lets crunch the numbers here - a cheese grater costs a few dollars whereas a Mac Pro probably
costs a few thousad dollars.
If you can afford a Mac Pro, you can probably afford a cheese grater - you can own both.
I really hope this person knows that the Mac Pro can be used as a computer - Im sure they
do, right?
- they don't just think its a massive cheese grater - oh god ...
At number 3 we have the Headlight.
This is a picture of someones car thats had the headlight broken.
Fair enough if they cant afford a replacement but - you know - this isnt going to work.
Its just not.
Only one of them is even facing forward.
I could be wrong though, maybe this is the way cars are going - this could be the next
tesla design - Id look like a real idiot then.
Moving on to number 2 we have Free Hot Water.
Some people don't like paying extra for hot water - other people don't like waiting for
water to get hot if everyone in their house has used it up.
Well, this life hack can help all of you . Yes - thats a candle under a shower pipe.
Apparently this is going to produce hot water at a fraction of the price - I don't think
it will though.
I think youll just end up with cold water coming out and a burnt pipe.
If we have any plumbers watching then correct me if Im wrong - but I don't think I am.
And finally at number 1 now were going back to Popcorn with the Smoke Alarm.
Smoke Alarms are VERY important - make sure you check yours on a regular basis.
Or, you could just stick some popcorn on the wall like this.
Look.
This is meant to be a life hack for people who cant be bothered to buy a smoke alarm.
Presumably, the way it works is that when you hear it crackling and popping, the room
is probably on fire and you should leave.
Don't do this.
Please don't do this.
Just get a smoke alarm.
If you do this, you may just be found in the ruins of your destroyed house with burnt popcorn
all over you.
Long live life hacks.
Sometimes we have to sit through a lot of bad life hacks but eventually, we find a good
one.
Is it worth it?
Thats for you guys to decide.
I hope youre having a great day, my name is Danny Burke, thanks as always for watching
