"Try this in real life!!"

Basically, this thread is just to share cool or interesting things for each one of us to try in real life. These can range from little activities to full-blown projects.

For example: The elevator hack. Y'know, where you press and hold the "close" button and the button for the floor you want to go to in order to get to that floor without any stops in between.

Or something like this: Go to Starbucks and order a "Captain Crunchberry". It's an off-menu drink that I have ordered in many a Starbucks in the past. Your mind will be blown and you'll confuse the fuck out of your taste buds.

Anything goes~

Also, feel free to post when you try any of the little hacks that people have posted.

It's a modified version of one of their fruit drinks specifically designed to taste like Berry Captain Crunch.

work/productivity hack number 3 is the best one ever.

And the pirates thing is pretty awesome too. I mean, I've used it before and all, the hack is not THAT impressive, but i didn't know that is why some sailors used eyepatches.

If you're ever at an Italian ice place that sells sizes of pint or quarts or something similar, ask them not to put a cover on it and to just slap as much on top as possible. This isn't universal, but chances are high that if they're anything like Ralph's in New York you'll get a free $3 small size worth of ice, which is 8 oz, on top of an already pint or quart of ice for about $4.75.
Also, if it's creme based, throw it in the freezer and you're set on dessert for a while. Water based, and it'll last you maybe a week frozen.

Library's are increasingly having selections of music available. Borrow, download to computer, and give back.

A great place to find "local hacks" is foursquare. Users share tips daily on special deals or hidden goodies using the website and its app. This is how I found this nifty little drink at my local Starbucks created by one of the baristas who work there. It's called an "After Dinner Mint" and is quite refreshing.

Guess what? You can do this with movies too! It's called "Piracy" and it's totally fine so long as the FBI don't find you and whoop your @ss.

:P

Use fingernails instead of a screwdriver.
Use a guitar amplifier instead of a pricy sound system with a 3.5mm<->3.5mm wire and phone.
PCSX2 instead of a PS2.

Will add more when I'm at the PC.

Captain Crunchberry mission was a success. Just as good as I had imagined. It took awhile for Starbucks to figure out what I was talking about, and since I really didn't know what I was talking about, it made for an interesting exchange at the cash register. Luckily, the manager that was there knew what I was getting at and how to make it.

High replay value, fo sho.

Many of you have probably done this, but if you haven't give it a try.

Close your eyes, then put pressure on them. You'll start to see all sorts of visual hallucinations. It's because apply pressure to your eyes also puts pressure on the vision part of your brain, sort of short circuiting it and causing it to make shit up.

This can also be achieved by staring at a light source and rapidly moving something in front of your face.

That was one of my great hobbies when I was young. Not so much because of the mental images, though, and much more because of how they warped reality. See, the lighting changed, and the colours were either intensified or dulled.

Not really? It's very slight pressure, definitely not enough to actually damage anything.


Here's another one, it might require another person. If you can't get a person to help you, find a doorway. Have the person (or doorway) restrict the movement of your arms as you try to bring them up parallel with your shoulders. After about 20-30 seconds, step away and hold your arms limp at your side. Your arms should start slowly raising by themselves.

1) Go in a doorway
2) Push like you're trying to lift the house by the doorway
3) Keep doing this for 20-30 seconds, then move away from the doorway
4) Hands move by themselves

The important part is to push upwards with the back of your hand, really.

Although it might work with the palm, too - I have never tried that.

If a pencil gets too dull to use and you're in class or taking a test and don't want to get up and take a test, it's easy to peel away a millimeter of wood from the lead near the tip with your fingernails and buy some time.

I think the whole warning about eating the brain and the liver is really freaken creepy and kind of cool. I think I even recall reading about a cannibal serial killer once who did cite they stopped eating the liver because they felt really sick from a bit of it. I GUESS IT'S NOT LIKE ANIMAL LIVERS. pate and such.

While not truely cannabilistic, I know that there was some weird shit a few years back where people were eating or making smoothies out of afterbirth. Stupid idiots thought that they'd be able to take in stems cells other random crap that way. Not sure if it ended up being declared illegal or not.


Anyway, Hack/trick for those who don't want to sneeze at an inopportune moment. If you can feel a sneeze coming on, close your jaw and press your tounge hard against the fleshy/soft part of the roof of your mouth, towards the back.

Scientologists are required to eat placenta according to their retarded code, so maybe that's where you heard about that? Or maybe people are just being stupid.

The umbilical chord is where all the good stuff is.

I heard it was a whole bunch of wacky health-nuts who were doing it. Didn't know the Scientologists were in on placenta eating as well. Although considering all the other really out there stuff they believe in, it doesn't seem out of character for them.

All of the free stuff hacks save #4 are illegal.

Health/body hack #1 is only legal if the doctor will proscribe you the medication in question for the correct reason (i.e. correcting hair loss). Otherwise you are violating federal drug laws, as is the doctor.

From the health/body hacks

#2 is bullshit; this won't reset your circadian rhythm.

#4 only works if the coconut is undamaged, and it sometimes still will kill them.

#8 won't cure acne, though it can help a bit. The real fun there is when you sleep on one side and then you end up looking like twoface.

From the miscellaneous hacks

#3 is just dickery, not really a hack. You could do the same by unplugging it and plugging it back in; its not clever.

#4 is again dickery; elevators work the way they do for a reason.

#7 works... for a given definition of work. It requires the right type of 9 volt battery (some are not built that way, so taking them apart will give you a bunch of odd batteries that won't fit in anything) and the AAAA batteries are not ACTUALLY AAA batteries, and therefore will die faster. On the other hand, the coin cell thing totally works.

I will also note that, generally speaking, you can get away with eating the brain just fine - only if they have the disease will you contract it. Eating livers, likewise, is generally okay. Eating humans in general is risky, though.
