Neat Tricks About Life

[Alobar]

you can dewrinkle your clothes in the dryer just as fast without using a wet towel in my experience (just put them in by themsleves for like 5 mins).

If you put a couple grains of rice in your salt shaker, the salt wont get all dry and crusty.

Everyone already knows this, but if you salt your beer coaster (read: napkin), it wont stick to the bottom of your glass.

They keep your car smelling fresh.

Did you even read the article you linked?

A few drops of dish soap in a container of water does have its uses against biting insects, but neither because the mixture attracts them nor because a mysterious chemical reaction reaches up and smites them dead. Soap breaks the surface tension of water, making it possible to drown biting critters who would otherwise just bounce off the water and continue their merry lives of feeding on others.

It seems perfectly reasonable that a dish of this in your kitchen would help cut down the number of flies or mosquitos or whatever in your kitchen. Snopes is specifically refuting its usefulness in the Great Outdoors. Its blindingly obvious that something like this would be inneffective in a huge, open space, but might be useful in a small, enclosed space.

All I know, is that a paper towel roll, with a bounce sheet in it saved my parents from smelling me smoking weed more than I can remember.

Is that true about blowing in a girls vagina that they could die? I've heard it before but can't remember if they were jopking. I'm pretty sure they were jopking but I remember them saying something about air getting trapped hemmorage blood clot doctor stuff.
