Iâm not too impressed, but I will share my awesome âhackâ for loose change. I bought a few of these and sprinkled them around the house. Whatâs great about a Piggy Bank is that everyone knows what they are for. They are way cuter than loose change jars.
This guy is in desperate need of a hack that consolidates all those damn speakers!
- Socks - been doing this for 25 years. I only wear gray Gold Toe socks. Canât buy just the gray socks in stores, but you can on the 'net.
- Wallet + magnet = credit cards that wonât scan.
- Doesnât know that $2 bills exist.
- Tupperware - wrong, wrong, wrong. So wrong itâs not even in wrongâs neighborhood anymore. Just stack them by size. Idiot.
- Obviously he doesnât understand how microwaves work.
- Bright LEDs - just get some FREE scraps from an auto windshield tinting shop.
- Does he really not know that you can adjust the legs on your refrigerator so that the door stays open?
- Tying shoes - what is he, a 4-year-old? Grow up and tie your shoes, or get loafers.
People actually sort socks?

Props for owning an Instant Pot.
Hack #1: donât put cash in your cards/ID wallet. If your wallet gets stolen, you still have money. Likewise, the other way.
Hack #2: donât get Tupperware. Get glass containers, including mason jars. Edited to add: if you purchase the right brands of spaghetti sauce - free mason jar!
Hack #3: donât get a cat unless you live in the country and need a mouser. No âcat waterâ, no litter dust everywhere, no need to vacuum twice a week.
Hack #4: donât put blue LEDs in your bedroom. Remove all lights that are green or of a shorter wavelength. Learn to make melatonin again.
Hack #5: fridge magnet? Level your fridge properly.
Hack #6: keep the link to this video if your friends think your place is cluttered.
I love how people assume whatâs good for their cat is the best way.
My kitty uses a large dog dish for water (at one time, it was for the dog but the cats drank out of it, too) and itâs next to his dishes! He loves to drink in between bites. When the water needs changing, we use the old water to irrigate plants outside since we need to conserve water.
Actually I can see a use for separating out the food and water. Sometimes cats like to be anarchists and dump their dry food into the water for fun, which makes for some really nasty water.
Well, then, separate the two things. But I question his expletive-riddled explanation that it must be done because in the wildâŚ
It is instinctual in many cats, but #notallcats 
I really enjoyed watching the video. sure all these hacks wonât be for you, but i like that the guy was constantly challenging they way he did things and looking for the little victories wherever he could find them.
I have to admit that this guy was fairly entertaining in gushing about his life hacks. Iâm not sure if any these would actually improve my life or my catsâ lives, but⌠I have a huge problem with him placing his shoes on the kitchen island/counter/multi-use table space and then plopping the other pair on top of the crock pot and admitting to us that the shoes were dirty (UGH). Yes, I may have a bad bacteria-phobia, but I live in a city where street gunk and variously sourced poo on the sidewalks are common. Yuck!
(If you really need to avoid tying your shoes⌠I found some great cinch-laces on Amazon for my parents for under $8/pair.).
What do you have against tall cats?
Fixed. He âhackedâ nothing.
Keeping the tank topped off = fewer/lower MPG. Mr. Money Mustache preaches the opposite: do not keep a full tank because hauling that gas around is like paying for another passenger.
Life hacks mean youâre too cool to RTFM.
If you have a much larger than average gas tank, perhaps. But then again you probably already have a larger vehicle at that point that likely doesnât get great fuel economy. A gallon of gasoline weighs around 6 lbs. That means a full 17 gallon tank is +/-102 lbs. Thatâs simply not going to have a significant impact on fuel economy â certainly not enough of an impact to offset the extra trips to the gas station.
Mind you, multiply that ânegligibleâ amount of extra fuel by (checks Google) 250,000,000 passenger vehicles, well, now youâre talkinâ.
/Me, I usually fill my tank when itâs below 1/8 of a tank - thatâd be every day, when itâs busy.
You know how, when people want to make fun of the 80s, itâs all fancy hair and Devo? Our children will snicker at the word âhack.â They probably already do.
Iâm glad he has enough cabinet space to fit all those empty containers but thatâs just really not a good idea for the rest of us.
Keeping shoe laces working is an unnecessary chore but unless you have at least 2 pairs of shoes per color, paying $18 for 100ft of it per color is a waste. Thereâs a ~$12 thing made specifically for shoes. Someone on BBS linked it. I forget who. Sorry. 
Using power 7 on a microwave does help but I think that water thing is bogus.
Unless your gas station is exactly on your way to or from something you go to regularly, filling up at the half way mark is wasting a lot of gas in extra miles driven. (On top of all the other complaints listed above.)
Several Happy Mutants have kids. We should do a survey.
