You may have seen a bunch of tweets going around saying, "I was today years old when I found out X." We've been writing about things you may have been doing wrong for a while, but it looks like it's making a comeback in a whole new way.
And it's not just lifehacks and everyday things people are learning about. They're also learning new things about TV shows like SpongeBob Square Pants and That '70s Show, too.
It's definitely never a dull moment in the world of the internet.
I personally have seen people use a can opener in both of these fashions, and there's some debate on which way is actually right. Either way, there are two ways to do it and one of them is probably wrong.
We aren't sponsored by Gatorade or anything, but I'd definitely suggest running out to the store and buying a couple bottles to see how this one goes.
Most people rub them together to make sure there are no splinters, but if they're good quality chopsticks, there shouldn't be. So, if you do rub them together, you're sending an insult to the restaurant because you think their chopsticks are cheap. Oops?!
Basically, all you need to do is take the lid off of your cup and it fits perfectly underneath. This is perfect if you're worried about your cup leaving watermarks all over your desk.
Use your keyboard to press the keys "CTRL + SHIFT + T" all at once. You'll notice that the last tab you exited will pop back up. This is key in my line of work!
Apparently it varies toaster to toaster, which is probably why at home my bagel is perfect and at work it is definitely not.
When you reheat your food in the microwave, leave a hole in the middle of it so the microwave reheats everything evenly.
You don't want to crush your bread (or fave flavor of potato chips), so using these hooks is actually genius.
Apparently, you should. According to Reddit, using the power button evenly heats your food because it cooks longer at a lower heat. But, this can also increase the energy use, so be careful!
So next time you can't stand the heat, add a spray nozzle to a frozen water bottle. You'll never have to complain about the lack of AC again.
Don't scribble them out with lines — you can still read them! Instead, use a circular motion and it'll be much more difficult to read.
Did you know you can fan out your cups for better dunking action?! This. Is. Amazing.
Which is silly since he drives it more often than me, but that's besides the point. Now he won't have to ask if he just looks at the gas gauge! It points to the side the tank is on.
I think we all know that the coils of an oven can come off for cleaning, but did you know the top can be lifted? I don't even wanna know what's under there. Thanks, Michelle, for this genius tip!
You can quickly cool down a warm drink by wrapping it in damp paper towel and putting it in the freezer. It'll cool down before you have to worry about the glass cracking or the drink exploding.
There is a place on the side of the box where you can push the cardboard in so that the roll of foil won't fall out! Thanks to Stacey's Snacks Online for sharing this solid trick.
The best way to do that? Wear a daily moisturizer with an SPF so you are protecting your skin every single day!
So, if you're making one at home, this is how you should be laying out your pepperoni pieces!
Flip that bad boy over and you'll have a much easier time trying to cut through it.
It dictates the way your fan spins! Put it up in the winter to bring hot air down, and down in the summer to push the warm air up.
Apparently, it's used to open a can! Don't worry about breaking a nail, just use a bottle opener instead.
Obviously, it's a poor design to begin with, but hitting the bottom isn't the best way to do it! Roger suggests hitting it around the middle where the bottle starts to get thinner.
The drawer underneath your oven isn't for storing your pans — actually, it's specifically NOT for that, and warns you against it in the instructions. It's actually designed for you to put hot foods in to keep them warm.
I always cut the top off just below the circular part. Turns out, you're supposed to cut the top off at the very tip and use it as a straw. WHO KNEW?!
If you stick a fork into the cream of the Oreo, dunking becomes easy as 1 2 3! No more claw-hand struggle.
You know those raised lines on the bottom of your freezer? They aren't just a design. They're actually there to help you organize your meat packages. Ohhhh, that makes a lot of sense!
When you've got lots of little lint, pilling, and flyaway pieces on your clothing, use a razor to literally shave it down. Good as new!
Beauty gurus, listen up. Those symbols on the back of your beauty products serve an important purpose. The number inside the symbol indicates the shelf life of the product once it's been opened. It's important to use the product within the time frame indicated, as beauty products can expire and grow harmful bacteria over time.
Everything is even, everything is fair, and the whole piece of bread is covered with meat. We've finally done it! We've perfected the sandwich!
I'm honestly going to try this as soon as I'm done writing this article. Apparently, iPhone users can use their cameras to scan documents. What? How did I not know about this feature?
Someone on Reddit shared this genius hack to cool down a drink quickly. Wrap two ice packs around the drink and then pop it in the freezer for a few minutes. You'll have a cold, refreshing drink in no time.
Have you ever noticed that towels tend to fall off the towel rack? I feel like there's a design flaw here that needs to be addressed but in the meantime, get yourself a regular ol' binder clip. Clip the two sides of the towel together and it will stay put once and for all.
Similar to the Starbucks cups, McDonald's coffee cup lids also work perfectly as a coaster. Now you have somewhere to rest your cup while you wait for it to cool off. I tell ya, you learn something new every day.
If you need some non-slip hangers ASAP, don't freak out. Just grab a trusty rubber band. Simply wrap the band around the ends of the hanger and — ta-da! You have a DIY non-slip hanger!
Have you ever wondered why you sometimes get the option to decline a call on your iPhone, but other times you have to slide the button to answer the call? Basically, it all comes down to whether your phone is locked at the time or not. Personally, I would love to have a decline button at all times.
We all know that bar soap can be less hygienic than liquid soap. That's because bar soap often sits in the excess water that fell into the dish while we were washing our hands. However, a few rubber bands stretched across your soap dish can make a little DIY drying rack that keeps your soap out of the water.
