I scrape CVV number of my credit card and save it on my smartphone because if I lost my credit card nobody will be able to shop on line

Switching off your phone. It changes everything.

Or at the very least keeping it in do not disturb mode. I started doing that years ago, and it was life changing. Only things it notifies me of are calendar reminders and actual phone calls.

Using a rubber band around the lid of a jar to open it effortlessly.

I love how you gave us gold and the replies are "dur have you tried hitting it?" And "duh have you tried breaking it?" Debate brain rot.

If you don't need the lid so much, you can just punch a hole in it with a knife or tin opener, and it'll come off like shit off a shovel.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (2 children)

You can also just smack the edge of the lid with the back of a knife a few times for the same effect.

I just smack the whole can on the counter. The lid onto the counter edge, to be clear. Seems to work consistently, and lots of room to apply more force if needed

Nobody who bike commutes is fat.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Sadly that's not entirely true

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago

I'm fat and I bike to work.
