honest question, but what does putting a beer mug in the freezer do better than just putting the beer in the fridge to begin with? I mean, im assuming that sure, it keeps the beer 5 degrees colder for 5 minutes longer, but is it really worth it to take up valuable freezer space (frozen pizzas num num num) with empty glasses?

It's post-modern. If you want to be prepared for the next decade, get your glasses in the freezer, your pizzas in the cupboard and store your beer in the oven.

This isn't really a time-saving trick or even a trick tbh, but reaps quite an awesome feeling.

Set your alarm for **** when you don't need to be up. I used to do this in the summer when out of school. Set your alarm for when you had to wake up every day and get the satisfaction of saying "F IT" and going back to sleep.

Note: do not try if you wake easily and could have issues getting back to sleep. Satisfaction may vary.

It's something so simple yet so satisfying. Rolling back over and saying **** it is just awesome.

If you are going to the racetrack later in the day, never buy a racing form. There will be ones at the track left behind by degens that have busted out and went home. Also always use the self serve machines. People leave cash vouchers in them more often than you would think. Most people are just born to lose.

Instead of a salt water rince I use a Q-tip and get one end wet, dip it in salt and then apply directly to the canker and hold it there as long as I can. This way your whole mouth doesn't have to taste like salt. Also, avoid acidic foods until it's healed.

Prob not necessary for people who have dishwashers, though

I don't have a dishwasher either

I all but stopped using glasses and buy plastic cups its around $3 for 50 of them, saves a ton of time with the dishes

To avoid situations like this while peeing, aim to the front rounded part of the toilet and not the water. The toilet is built such that peeing on this curve will force all the urine either directly into the water or it will be caught by the rim.

Buy a sleeve of coffee cups and lids. Take a cup of coffee from home.
1. You save $1.50 a day = $500 a year.
2. You save 8 minutes a day from Dunkin Donuts= 24 hours a year better spent doing anything rather than sitting in a drive through.
3. I succumb to a freakin donut, or worse, 60% of the time = save 40,000 calories per year.

I can't drink from any of those plastic lined travel mugs. They taste/smell like plastic or rubber. Plus they are a pain in the ass to wash. Might be a personal issue, but I hate em.

You can extend the life of your razor blades by using blue jeans as a kind of strop. Just run the blade up a length of denim (push the blade up, in the opposite direction of normal shaving) about 15 times and then turn the jeans over and do the same thing the other way.

There's a video in the link below demonstrating this. I was really surprised at how well this worked for me.

Don't bother with a screen protector an iPhone. Its not necessary like it would be on a plastic screen.

If you have a smelly baseball cap, wash it in the dishwasher on the upper rack, then place it in the sun to dry. Good as new.

If you have a sneeze that won't "come out", look at the sun or a bright light. I thought everybody knew this but the other day a coworker had no idea. he thought I was brilliant. I'm pretty sure he is the only person in the world who didn't know this though.

Your girlfriend will find the wrapper in the garbage and will leave you because, "You made a sink stopper out of it? Really? You expect me to buy that bull****?".

any tips for peeing when you have a boner and you get 2 streams going and one ends up all over the floor? I've never tried it but I think if you pinch the streams together they'll merge into 1 thus no mess and then you just have to wash your hands instead of all over the floor.
