Life Hacks 2

Here are the clever life hacks I’ve picked up the last few years of my life.
These little tips, tricks, and tweaks can save you buckets of time and hassle.
Some of the life hacks which help in situations we all face a lot, but never really think of a solution for it! Here we go:

1. Want free pizza? Just order Dominos pizza using Swiggy. The help-line number given for Dominos in swiggy is a USA number. So, now just call up Swiggy after 15 minutes of placing the order, and tell them that you cannot reach Dominos because of the foreign number given. They’ll refund the money but you still get your pizza! (swiggy might fix the bug if this answer goes viral!)
   

2. You are in your tuition class, and gets very boring! Your teacher has no intention of ending the class any time soon! Just set an alarm on your phone for the next minute, when the alarm rings, pretend that your mother is calling you, and has come to pick you up due to some emergency! Then, just walk right out of the class!

3. How Long to Read is a website that estimates how long it takes for a person to finish reading a book! One might want to check how long it takes to prepare for the JEE then!

4. Have a flattened pillow? Just put it out in the sun for 30 minutes. The sun will absorb all the moisture, and pump up the pillow. You can use those 30 minutes to reflect on your life choices. (I end up over-pumping my pillows)

5. If you like another person, and want them to like you, just go up to them, slightly touch their shoulder, maintain eye contact, and ask them to help you out with something. The moment you touch their shoulder and maintain eye contact, people feel an instant bond with you! The asking for help part is just an excuse to do it!

6. If you can’t open a jar, just stick duct tape around the lid with a little bit of extra length of the duct tape sticking out! Now pull on the part of the duct tape sticking out, and you can open the lid easily! This works especially for jars that contain oil because the lid gets oily.

7. You want to lie down on your bed and watch the latest (last) episode of the Big Bang Theory, but you need to keep your neck straight while watching the video, and you end up with a sore neck the next day!! Just open the Video in VLC, go to Tools > Effects and Filters > Video Effects > Rotate video 90 degrees, and voila! The video has now been rotated and you can watch the episode even when lying down on your bed!

8. Too many bags to carry? Just use a bicycle lock, and hook all your other bags to the bi-cycle lock! Now you got just one handle to hold.

9. Before going to a suspicious site, google “safe browsing:(website name)” to get a report on all the malware attempts over the past 90 days on the visitors of the website! Next time you click on an ad, you might want to be a bit safer!

10. While on a trip with friends, it is common to share expenses during the trip and tally the expenses later on, but more often than not, the tallying never happens and one person ends up ‘sponsoring’ the trip more than the others. If you feel you have spent more than the others during a trip, at the end of the trip, just casually mention to another person how he spent the most during the trip! This will get him thinking, and once the trip ends, he will take up the initiative to get all the others totally and settle the expenses! Turns out you spent the most, and you get your money back!

11. Want to eat a cream cake but once the cream at the top is done, all you are left with is bland old cake? Just break the cream cake horizontally into half, and invert the top half so that you have a kind of a sandwich, with the cream in the middle.

13. Your AC remote has stopped working, but you really don’t know whether you need to change the battery or whether there is some other problem with the remote. Just take out the battery and drop it from a little height. If it bounces a lot, then it means the battery is drained, it doesn’t bounce much, it means the battery is fine and you need to change the remote!

14. Ever wanted to read text out of an image? Project Naptha is a browser extension that allows you to select, copy, modify, erase and even translate text into images!
