One feature on cars that people don't seem to be aware of is turn signals. It is very helpful and considerate if you actually use it.
🤣😂
😂😂😂 Lmao I know that's right
Yes they are sooooo rude
I love this. 😂
People in general can be brilliantly STUPID AS HELL. I am a emergency service plumber and HVAC business owner/ operator spend 50% of my days in traffic. People are so inconsiderate and try to bully this 3 ton box truck...when i move everyone gets the hell out of my way!!!
My great uncle died st 105 and was the inventor of and had patented (in the US) the valve that makes hot and cold water come out of the same faucet. I lived in Victorian buildings in San Francisco and often had the two faucet system; it was awful. Thank goodness for Uncle Dickel ❤
Big deal. My great grandfather invented screw top glass bottles and Owned American can co. Another granddaddy created Bambi. Worked for Walt Disney for 30 years. I'm an established rock and jazz musician. So Who are you? A cheap bragging dirt bag.? Comment only here not posted.
The most awful part is you had to live in frisco 😅
It was beautiful when I lived there; clean and relatively safe. I miss that city. @@morsecode4036
Very thankful for your uncle lol yes
You’re related to Al Moen?
When I was younger, I remember adults using the expression, "mind your P's and Q's. It seemed like a more polite way of saying 'mind your own business', or 'behave yourself'. But I never really knew. 40 years later at a party I heard someone telling the story. The expression was started and used by British bartender's, someone drinking beer and getting a little loud or out of hand were told to "Mind their Pints and Quarts", the 2 sizes of containers beer was served in. Who knew!! LOL
by British (bartender's) = bartender is? The plural for bartender is bartenders. Also it was not so much about those getting loud or out of hand, it was primarily in reference to those who were running a tab to 'mind their P's & Q's' they are going to have to account for and pay in full, which they can easily lose track of when the drinks are flowing freely.
@@matthewronson5218 Thank you! Finally at 72, I know the real story! Cheers --gary
The Irish?
I was taught it was derived from the typesetting industry. Typesetters put little metal letters (called “sorts”) in a frame to make the words that get printed so you can then read books, magazines and newspapers. They have to do it backwards, though, so it will appear the proper way when printed. When setting these sorts backwards, “p” looks like “q” and “q” looks like “p” and it’s easy to make mistakes. Ergo “mind your Ps and Qs”. Also- the typesetter had to hope he didn’t run out of the most common letters (e, l, t, n etc.) before he reached the end of the page. If he did, you can be sure he felt “out of sorts”. I dunno, but it seems to me to be less far fetched and make more sense than “pints and quarts”.
@@matthewronson5218I learned that when I was going to elementary school. ❤
My father-in-law (Merlin) was one of a team at 3M that came up with the microwave screen and has his name on the U.S. patent.
That's pretty neat!
Cool! Must be a great source of family pride.
I love 3M - very cool to know that you’re father-in-law has his name on the patent! Congratulations!😊
Are u aware of what a microwave does to your food!!??? IT CHANGES THE CELLS OF THE FOOD U PUT IN IT. Why DOES THE INSTRUCTIONS MANUEL TELL U TO STAY BACK SIX FT WHILE U RUN THIS MICROWAVE!!???? YET YOUR EATING THE FOOD U JUST PULLED OUT OF THIS MICROWAVE. I'D NOT BE BRAGGING ABOUT YOUR FATHER IN LAW INVENTING ANYTHING CANCER CAUSING. 💥😣🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 EVERYONE THROW OUT YOUR MICROWAVE!!! WE DID OVER 15 YRS AGO!!!
AWESOME!!!
I accidentally left a bottle of hand sanitizer w/the cap ajar this past August. A few days later I noticed it contained roughly 20-30 fruit flies. I brought out another 2 bottles I'd gotten on sale, flipped their caps & for a total of $1.50 eradicated my annual end of summer fruit fly problem!
the borax which is also found in most common soaps usually wreck all types of buggy like fruit flies and ants. Add some vingear or sweet smell like your hand sanitizer and now you have a bug dish trap.
Another thing that will work and is even cheaper is to add a small amount of vinegar to water to do the exact same thing. ;)
Just say cap open no need to be posh.
Apple cider vinegar and lemon or orange pine-sol combined, works great.
I've noticed that
Please please please do not put your keys into the quarter slots on shopping carts!!! I've worked at Aldi (in the US) for 10 years. Yoi have no idea how many keys people have lost because they get stuck in the carts. All you have to do is come inside and ask any associate at the register for a quarter. We will happily give you one.
I read their flour is made by King Arthur
Quarter slots on carts...
You have to rent a cart at Aldi 😇
People make a big deal about quarters and not having a damn quarter. I’m like really I used to go to Aldi all the time and half the time I would give my carts away and quarters to other people I mean that’s just being nice it’s just $.25 unless you’re starving Which a lot of people are now you can get the quarterback you’re not renting anything you put the quarter in you can take it right back out when you push your car back to the place where it belongs that’s why they do that shit so people won’t leave their grocery cart all over the parking lot because they want that damn quarter back. Lmao
While hiking on the Appalachian trail I got a couple of small cuts on my legs. I only had 3 band -aids which didn't last long. Found a tube of medicated lip balm and when the band-aids ran out I rubbed the cuts with the balm.
Not only did it help keep dirt out but I noticed the cuts started healing faster than using antibiotic cream.
Now I keep a tube with me most of the time.
Carmex is especially good for this!!
@Kat-no4ey
Try the blistex in the green tube, it seems to work a little better than the others I tried.
Raw honey is a wonderful healer on a cut
I use pool noodles to keep my pipes from freezing over in the winter. :) I cut one side and duct tape it around the pipe. Thank you! I love these! BE AMAZED!
I noticed putting a paper towel in with vegetables keeps them fresher longer. Especially lettuce.
Correct ❤❤
The best use for that over ripe banana is to put it in a brownie mix. It enhances the chocolate flavor. 2 per mix also work and make really nicely moist brownies.
They are great in oatmeal too.
Can you still taste the banana?
I wait until they're starting to get spots and use them in my banana bread....and everyone loves it!!
Also good in vanilla yogurt.
Sounds interesting & delicious. Thanks for your input.
The bic office pens we usually use have that hole in top of the cap, is actually for a choking hazard if a child swallows one by accident they can breathe thru the hole giving more time for medical care.
Years ago, the BiC pens didn’t have that hole in the cap when I was a kid in Mexico, then coming to the US and buying some BIC pens and I noticed the hole and it bugged me thinking if I was crazy because I didn’t remember the caps having a hole so I searched online and found the answer. Glad to know to know I wasn’t tripping.
I love how everyone shares their helpful hints and tips, interesting facts, in this comment section. 😊👍🏻
You can also slice a pool noodle to fit around top of lined 5 gallon bucket as seat for camp or emergency toilet.
Love that! I live in a rural area with dodgy electric in the winter. So sometimes we have to do our business in the middle of snowstorms out in the woods. Will come in handy, now off to get a 5 gallon bucket..
I knew this, but TFS! I've never thought to! That's a great hack...and sometimes needed. Cheap cat litter in the bucket is a great idea also. That's how we do it. GOD bless
Great tip! TY!
The padding on our trampoline wore out, we used cut pool noodles to cover the springs so the kids don't get pinched. (Also looks cool in a rainbow configuration)
Indeed and if pail has a handle you can put your TP on it.
One of my favorite hidden features on cars is an arrow indicating the side with the gas cap. Look at your gas gauge, right there next to the E is an arrow indicating which side of the car the gas cap is located. It doesn't really matter on your own car because you probably know which side the gas cap is on, but it is very handy if you ever rent a car.
No, only on some models.
Bruhh..... 😂
You'd be surprised how many people have no clue which side their cap is on,
... continuously
Most of my life I didn’t even know about that
I like the little stick thing they have connected to the wheel that you flick to let people know if you're turning left or right. I've found that very few drivers are aware of this secret feature.
In Marine Corps boot camp we would use hand sanitizer and brown paper towels to shine the chrome on sinks, etc. It has to be a type without aloe, or it streaks. I used it on my car, too ☺️
Crazy we used ketchup and vinger
@@Wassupwafflez Sounds delicious! 😂
brown paper towels are abrasive and will eventually scratch up the plating. silver-polishing cloths have a much finer abrasive.
Thanks ❤️
It's also a great mirror/window cleaner in a pinch. I have put a few squirts on a napkin and wiped my car windows and they were SUPER clean.
At 62 ..I remember the days of roundish bottles of "French's" mustard- that came in like 3 sizes : small medium and large(about the size of a small cantaloupe)The all had twist on flat caps and you had to spread it on with a table knife from the jar...If you were buying one from a vendor somewhere they would fill up yellow squirt bottles with it and red for ketchup
As someone who has dealt with a lot of nausea in my time, the best home remedy I've found is mustard, I eat it on a slice of bread, usually knocks it right out, was a life savior through cancer, and pregnancy.
Zofran is worth more than gold to chemo patients!
I prefer ondansetron by multiples... unfortunately it also works like a heavy duty sleeping aid on me 😜
@@aysegulapaydner Benadryl knocks me out for 3 days....I have kooky side effects but never been sleepy with Zofran so that may not always work well lol! I want to sleep when I'm sick to my stomach!
@@user-rx2uz4kq9x Benadryl is when one has allergies...that one makes me drowsy, too btw.... ondansetron is for extreme nausea 😶
I never thought of trying mustard when I had hyperemesis…hmm I wonder! only ondansetron through iv worked.
I hope all is well now stranger! :)
Pool noodles can also be used to keep tall boots in shape. Cut noodle to desired height, and stick inside the boot. Will kelp to keep your boots folding or bending.
Yes! Just did this the other day.
~also paper towel tubes...~as pool tubes r more thick & would def hold up bettr....but i hve used papr towel tubes, sometimes putting two in one boot...
~jst an fyi....
Thank you!! 🙏🏼
So if you don't have an actual boot tree.
Yess I use pool noodles inside of my thigh high boots.
Pool noddles are great for putting around glass tables when you have babies learning how to walk
Another good use for pool noodles with the hollow center, is that you can slice up one side, and place them over canopy or tent ropes to make them easier to see as the sun goes down. I use 4 fluorescent green ones on our screened in dining tent.
they do make rope in high-vis colors
Helmet liners
Such great advice! 😊
@@Flower-r4fThat’s a great idea! I just texted it to my father; I’m sure he has some pool noodles in the pool shed from when the kids were young.
@@Obsidian_Iris_those might be rotten by now. Lol
Hand sanitizer is great for ant bites , mosquitoes bites takes the sting right out. Works great !
I use hand sanitizer to help separate new bills.
Most things you would use rubbing alcohol to do, you can use hand sanitizer to do because it's high in alcohol.
This is good to know . Very useful .
Just be careful if you scratched the bite open, it can really sting on an open sore
Use to clean eyeglasses
You can also cut a pool noodle to fit a dog's neck instead of the awkward cones used after surgery. The thickness of the noodle doesn't allow the dog to bend its head enough to lick at surgical sites. Just run a piece of rope through the noodle and tie around dogs neck. Plus they don't run into everything😁
This is a very useful pool noodle hack.
What a way better design than the cones.
This is brilliant! My daft dog is scared of cones so this would be far better!
Donut of shame.
Thanks . Great idea
Please don't use self-serve to checkout. It's just a cynical way for stores to make staff redundant. We need employment!! 🤨
Free labor!!! Self checkout should PAY the customer!!! I'm doing someone's JOB for no benefit to me!🥴

Following gas station protocol…used to be full service and then there were none…

If you don't want to use plastic on the bananas dip the end in wax. It has the same effect (in fact it's a better seal) and doesn't waste plastic.
I use old pieces of tinfoil that are too small for anything else.
POOL NOODLES are also perfect for protecting tree trunks on new tiny trees - just cut to length and cut a slit up the side to slide it on; protects it from nibbling deer, and often you won't have to stake the tree or, if you do, protects the cord from cutting into the bark. Besides, the bright colors will hopefully keep idiots from driving/mowing/weed eating it down. ALSO... cut lengths of pool noodles as boot trees to keep them from wrinkling, sagging or flopping over.
using crumpled newsprint or store ads will do the same thing but will also dry out the footwear more quickly- cheaper, too.
They are also perfect for drying art brushes. Just cut a slit in them with exacto knife. Slide brushes in to dry upside down.
They are also ideal for insulating water pipes in the winter.
@@tommurphy4307 I don’t like smudgy newsprint inside my $$$ Corral or Old Gringo boots, but have done that for cheap rubber pasture boots.
"Awkward human interaction" is part of our problem. It shouldn't be awkward in anyway to meet or be near another human. What has happened is the internet and phones that keep humans from any real interactions with other humans. Its keeping many humans isolated to the point they begin to lack social skills in real life situations. Jmo.🤗
Well your opinion was exactly what I was thinking! 😊
I find it ironic that this is posted in the UA-cam comments in the very fashion that it's describing against.
Yup! As a career nanny I make sure my kids know how to interact with ppl cuz no one lives on an island unto themselves.
I am a talker. Young cashiers for example are very uncomfortable when I chat with them. Sad.
The best comment so far.
I use a pencil for stuck zippers. The "lead" is made of graphite mixed with wax. Works even better than lip balm.
beeswax
Seems a lot messier.
Graphite powder is the lubricant recommended by locksmiths to use on lock cylinders. It doesn't gum up in the future as wd40 and other liquid lubricants
I did not know that.
a bar of soap works wonders on zippers.
The self checkout silence option has been disabled in most stores because some were slipping unscanned items in their bags.
I use old plastic credit cards as a scraper for stuck-on food on pots (soak pot) and mini spatula/putty knife.
I use mine for drugs...
Frenches mustard is good for burns. Years ago, when I worked at Walmart I was heating up a cup of water in the Micro wave oven for my instant coffee. As I reached in and was pulling it towards me it caught on the rim of the turn table and tipped, boiling water splashed onto my midriff right through my clothes. The boiling water had melted my skin away on that spot and the pain was excruciating. One of my coworkers ran and bought a bottle of Frenches mustard
smeared it all over my burned skin. The mustard soothed the injury and days later there was absolutely no scar, just pink skin.
Yellow mustard is also good for a tummy ache. Simply put a little on your index finger and suck it off.
as a former burn-care specialist i think you're full of it.
One of my friends had constant tremors and a teaspoon of mustard stopped them.
Yellow mustard is loaded with turmeric…which heals everything.💕
...
I love that you explain the reasoning behind everything
I think that's the point of the channel.
Yeah they alsways have very interesting useful videos on this channel
@wilpri lol yes I see how dumb this moment was... I was just so surprised I wasn't being trolled with the video, like it's actually good info
The first microwaves called radar ranges didn’t have the mesh.I remember my home ec teacher warning that standing too near or even worse leaning your arm on a microwave while it was running could cause a severe burn.
radarange was a trade name by amana international
When I was growing up microwaves were called radars. I always wondered what the difference was.
I have equipment that measures the microwaves emitted from any microwave cooker. Let me assure you, that pathetic little criss-cross pattern on the glass does NOT stop the microwaves leaking. Whatever you do, don't stand - or let your kids stand - anywhere near a microwave cooker when it's in use!
@@goldeneddie Then what DOES?
Well, I'll be damned. I've been using French's mustard for years and always made a mess out of the little lid because it didn't open all the way, or so I thought. Upon seeing how it's actually supposed to work I paused the video, walked to the fridge and tried it out. Mind blown. I'll be passing this information to my family and friends.
Thanks for posting the great useful tips, Mr. "Be Amazed"!

Me too! I had noticed the weirdly shaped back of spout and fiddled with it a bit, certain there must be a reason. But I never guessed this and it works!
Floss also works for cutting cake and bread and cheese and probably anything else that's soft. My mom used it on a road trip to cut a 2 foot sub. Worked like a charm
Thank you. Great idea
You must not have a boyfriend or a dad or a brother. Every man carries a pocket knife.
A lot of women do now too.
My mother also used floss for cutting homemade fudge and bread
@@jasonwolfe3639 lol. Hey my pocket knife is not for cutting? 😁 I honestly use mine for everything...screwdriver, bandaid(hurts puttin on more than takin off), coffee stirrer, scraper, pencil sharpener, small pry bar, can opener, oh ya. And to cut food 😆
I noticed two small spots of fresh blood on a new white cotton bed quilt. My arm was bleeding where something had bitten me. I put peroxide on cotton balls and dabbed them on the blood on the quilt. I did this several times and the blood began to disappear. Then I put a clean wash rag into cold water and rung it out and dabbed the cold cloth on the spots. Soon all the blood stain was totally gone and you couldn’t even see where it had been.
Saliva works better, quicker and is more convenient. I made costumes for our State ballet company. If we pricked our finger and bled on the fabric we rolled up a small ball of cotton sewing thread, wet it in our mouth then used it as a sponge on the blood. It removes the fresh blood instantly.
The tiny little notch on the bottom of a zipper tag is designed to stop the zipper from coming undone. Always have the tag pointing down on your pants.

If you hang bananas from the stems instead of sitting them on a surface they last MUCH longer. The brown bruising starts in the part of the banana that contacts the hard surface of your counter
Folding the towel so it doesn't fall down is how we tie sarong in Asia, but we fold more than once because the material is thinner. It really does stay secure.
As someone who grew up on an island, spent extensive time on ships of all kinds and sizes, and raised rodents as a kid there is no way in hell that rat guard things work. They would slow them down but they would never keep them out. I've never seen them on any boats here, ever. Rats can jump at least as high as your head and they can squeeze down into spaces so small you'd never believe it.
As someone who's worked in retail management at a Leather shop. We learned that balling up wax paper and rubbing it on the zipper teeth of jackets or handbags makes the zipper zip with ease. We used to also rub it on the racks the coats hung on so we could fit more product out because the hangers wouldn't catch the metal bar and stick.

Brilliant!!M
That "command sign" is used in the Nordic countries for a cultural/historical important site. A museum, a castle, an old viking grave. Something worth visiting. We call it "kulturkringla", means cultural doodle. When traveling we try to put in some "kulturkringlor" in the schedule. Quite often rest sites along the country roads are placed at a historical site. If you take a break noth of Stockholm, by the highway, you are at the site where the midieval kings were sworn in, Mora stenar. Marked by that sign and an information board.
I'm thinking it's actually "culture "pretzel"...
charming, thankyou.
Ah, my grandma used to make Norwegian cookies called Kringlas! they were shaped like one corner of the symbol! A bit of a pain to make, only did it once and they're not that sweet so of course my kids were lukewarm to them.
I remember those early Apple computers. As we could see from the image of the keyboard but you neglected to mention was that there were two Apple keys, one that was just an outline (on the left) and one that was filled in (on the right). They were called Open Apple and Closed Apple, respectively, and they did two different things: essentially the original command/control and alt.
As told to me by a bartender; "No nick" glasses are also called this due to each bar/pub stocking a slightly different version bulbous drinkwear. Prior to their introduction, patrons would steal or "nick" these cups for their personal home use, eventually compiling a full matching set for themselves. When the "no nick" pints were introduced, this problem became less and less prevalent, as the would-be thieves did not want set of glasses that did not match each other. Also, as each bar/pub had unique cups, the fact that they were stolen and where they were stolen from would be apparent to their guests. Not sure if this factoid is 100% accurate, but it is definitely an interesting take on the subject.
It certainly sounds practical.
i don't even know you, but you def spend too much time in bars.
Oh, pool noodles are actually pipe insulation. Somebody figured out that they float, produced them in colors, and made a mint from it.
*oh*
In a pinch, I'm took a pool noodle and used it as pipe insulation for my outside AC. AC guy was quite surprised when he Unwrapped a bright pink flower shaped pool noodle under the duct tape 🤣
Good for them
I have used pool noodles as insulation on my outside pipe many times and for many years

Can we talk about washing our hair? Before doing so, brush your hair from the roots out, allover your head. This'll truly bring forth the oils and
gives a better shampoo. To truly be clean, wash your hair twice as the second shampoo removes leftover residue from the first shampoo. And your hair will stay clean for extra days.
I don’t have a fancy phone. I do it the easy way for weather. I look out the window. Real novel idea.
Thank you for validating what my father always used to say, and everyone always thought he was crazy! 40% chance of rain means 100% in 40% of the area!!! 😃
I've been trying to explain that to people ( including to my own kids ) for years and they always call me stupid .
Oh wow
@@feck2594 lol 😂
Not sure if she was aware of that, but my Aunt Alice used to tell me it needed to be at least 40 percent chance of rain before we would actually see any rain.
40% of what area? seems abstract to me.
That's not the problem I usually have with towels. My problem is that the towel isn't long enough to go all the way around me.
Yeah, I suffer from short towel syndrome too! haha

Me too! 🤣
I buy beach towels. They are super colorful and definitely long enough.
@@anncoffman4448 I didn't notice (and just plain forgot) when I was buying the set (washcloths, hand towels, etc.) to even look for the larger towels. These days, I just put on a terrycloth bathrobe, and voila! With a little judicious rubbing in specific locations, I'm mostly dry. I just use a hand towel to dry my feet when I sit down to put on my socks.
I always wondered why my organic bananas always came with the stem wrapped in plastic. Thanks for the explanation.
Same!
I don’t believe a pool noodle is going to be able to attach to my air vent in my car
Also keep any over-ripe bananas from all the fresh bananas, as the ethylene emitted from the overripe banana will ripe all the other bananas. However, if one banana is under-ripe, you can put it with the overripe to get it to ripe faster.
I use the fry lap as a fry funnel while driving. Funnel the fries into my mouth for eating

Literally a game changer for everything. Especially for removing stains.
A lot of people don't know how to properly use aluminum foil. When using the foil to cook on a baking sheet it should go shiny side down, and when using foil to wrap something it's to go shiny side up or shiny side out.
That's if you can tell the difference.
Swimming pool noodles make wonderful earring holders if the earrings are made with hooks that go through the ear. Just stick the noodle on a wooden dowel and stick your earrings in pairs all around and down the length of the noodle.
Helps keep them organized and together at eye level.
They shudder used ur example lol. Way more realistic
You can put pool noodles in your boots to keep them from bending when not being worn.
Or you could hang your earrings on a small dowel
Pool noodles for jewelry is incredibly tacky and unfeminen
America making weather forecasts way more complicated than they need to be just to be different 😂

@@peterdavies137 You aren't wrong. I worked as a calibration technician in the US and I agree the US needs to change some of the more common units of measurement as well.

In the past, I repaired microwaves. Keeping them clean is the most important thing you can do. Over time and repeated heating, left-over dirty food and stains can cause the paint inside the microwave to burn, leading to the arcing, burning, and even melting of dirty plastic parts. The touch-up paint we used to use to repair this never really worked as well as it should have, and sometimes the touch-up paint did not perform as well as the manufacturers’ paint jobs did. At times, it didn't work effectively.
The key trick on carts work here in the states too. Aldi's grocery stores use them. And there's s local store here in northern Illinois and southern Wisconsin that utilizes them as well.
The most scary and embarrassing moment I had was that my mom ordered me a Arby's sandwich that had an aluminum wrapper and I gave it no thought and put it in the microwave. Just remember that not all sandwiches in these restaurants are made of paper.
try some candy boston baked beans in it- and stand back
I recently had my mind blown when I found out I had been putting the trash can liner on all wrong. It goes over the can like a hat and then you push the bag down. Who knew lol

Never knew about the antenna lines on the phone! Took off my phone case and reception was great! Thanks!
That trick for keeping rats off ships is similar to the metal ring/strip you see on trees in Hawaii. It's to keep the rats from climbing up the tree and accidentally falling on people, and maybe so they don't chew the coconuts, with the same results (falling on to people).🤭
It probably also protects the tree from them nibbling on the bark and leaves too
theyre generally used on palms, not trees. palms are grasses.@@tranquility9325
And to keep them from climbing the tree and getting inside homes and businesses as well.
once a rat gets in a tree of coconuts it never needs to come down and can then raise a monster family ! ..
A BETTER hack for cheese grating is to find a steak knife or a knife that has teeth on it!!.. Just hold the cheese with good grip and just slide the teethed edge up and down "like a grater " and works better than an actual grater imo!!.. ✌
Edit-And you won't have to clean cheese off of your bank card which would really grate on you!!.. 😉✌

Fair warning about hand sanitizers: excessive use can be harmful. Overuse of sanitizers can leave skin irritated and sensitive to UV light (by removing natural oils). Sanitizers that contain Triclosan instead of alcohol can cause allergic reactions. A simple 'search' can provide more detailed information.
Unlike what the video says, you should NOT use it on your cellphones screen to clean it. On every cellphone screen there is a coating that makes the screen feel smooth to the touch to allow for easy movement of your fingers on the screen. Using any kind of alchohol based cleaner does clean the screen, but it also removes that coating that makes the screen feel nice and slippery like its supposed to be.
It is not just the good oils it also kills off the good bacteria on your skin. That is one thing people nowadays don't understand. Oh we need to keep clean! We don't want germs on us!!! Years later they have skin cancer or some other illness cause they removed of all the good bacteria while keeping the bad bacteria off. So while people live a life of panic and fear they are slowly destroying them self's for the sake of staying clean. Same goes for your intestines. If you wash your innards your going to have a vary bad life.
@@jman4083 Same applies to the current state of hype over c v and mask/v mandates
@@cynthiakeller5954 There are so many underlying factors in play with covid. The biggest one is health condition. People who are with weak immune system will more then likely succumbed to the disease. Another thing is a hidden illness that has not surfaced could also be a problem. Like you could have someone who looks and acts like they are in perfect health but inside hidden there is something festering unknown to the person and anyone else. So in a nut shell not just known illnesses but the unknown illnesses that can cause a seemly healthy person die from covid.
@@jman4083 Or from taking the vaccine. My husband was perfectly healthy and it stopped his heart.
I firmly believe that most people only come here to irritate and argue. I'm old so not sure on this one...I believe they are called trolls!
I have found when cleaning the bathroom, that using a toilet brush for the toilet instead of a hairbrush works wonders.
😂😂😂😂😂
.. the world has a lot more to offer .. don't give up .. yet ...
I have a toilet brush that has never been used to clean a toilet. It's the perfect back-scratcher.
@@andrewvelonis5940😂😂😂
Wrapping the stems of bananas helps prevent gnats, also.
I was laughing at the Self Checkout one. To anyone reading this comment, please turn the voice back on when you're done if it annoys you that bad, I'm completely blind and rely on that voice, though I can see why it becomes annoying to some. Also I know I say this every time I comment on one of these vids, but thanks to BeAmazed for the blind friendly narrated content.
As a person that works with these self checkouts, we also look closer at people who turn the volumes down since usually they are stealing.
It's soon funny
@@yenslea1
I use them whenever I can, and I think somebody would be stupid to even try to steal from them, because I think they are more monitored then the food isles are.
I’m glad I’m not the only with that one. I feel you for that.
The volume resets with each checkout.
I've been working at a body shop for a bit now and extra tips I learned was if you're painting the door, it's better to take off the mirror and belt molding (the trim at the bottom of the window) for a better paint job in the end. The mirror can get in the way, and if you're unlucky, the clear coat could stick in that gap between the door and the belt molding.
gee, could you let them know at one day paint & body??
The video title makes NO sense.
Hand sanitizer also works as itch stopper😁
or a bitch-stopper if sprayed in the eyes
Top Tip don't use sanitizer on your phone it will strip off the Oleophobic coating on your cell/mobile phone! making it no longer resistant to the natural oils in your skin/hands 🤦♂️
People: be aware.
its not fully true becuase if the quantity of alchohol is above 90% it is bad but below it is totally fine
@@manjarigupta3040 Alcohol wipes and gels - anything over 50% alcohol will damage your displays oleophobic coating.
@@manjarigupta3040 I totally agree.
I’ve heard this before but honestly that supposed oleophobic coating has never worked for me. I wonder if it it’s something that can come off easily.
YELLOW MUSTARD applied to small burns will stop the pain and prevent it from blistering. As a welder I've used this many times.
Also a teaspoon of mustard will stop leg cramps instantly
If you want to see the food in the microwave through the mesh better, just move your head back and forth slightly. This allows a much clearer view of what is happening inside the microwave.
I do that too!
we had a horse in a barn stall that would constantly sway back and forth towards the outside wall ... we realized it was trying to see through a small crack .. we had to close that crack ...
I have equipment that measures the microwaves emitted from any microwave cooker. Let me assure you, that pathetic little criss-cross pattern on the glass does NOT stop the microwaves leaking. Whatever you do, don't stand - or let your kids stand - anywhere near a microwave cooker when it's in use!
But why? 😢
The mustard cap one was new for me, but that was the only new one. Thanks for that though. My kids and family (at gatherings) are always making a mess of the condiments. I'll be sure to pass this one along. I just wish Heinz did this too, for their ketchup and relish bottles, and Miracle Whip, mayo, BBQ, and salad dressing manufacturers for their squeeze bottles.
Here's one of my favorite unknown to most Drivers. Did you know that the gas ⛽ pump icon is actually there to tell you which side of the vehicle the gas inlet is on. As in the icon above, the inlet is shown on the right side of your vehicle. It follows that when the hose and pump are on the left side.... So too is the inlet.
Cool about the mustard top hinge! i just tried it out and it works! But then it takes only seconds to squeeze. I never made a mess before this hinge was pointed out. And if you’re artsy like me, I use the empty washed out container as a base.
When you purchase a roll of kitchen cellophane or foil wrap look at both ends of the box. Push in the little tabs at both ends to create a little axel to hold the roll in and help the roll to spin without popping out of the box. #2. The hole in Bic type pen caps is to allow air to pass through if swallowed by a child and it gets stuck in his throat. I just amazed myself!
What if the pen cap gets stuck sideways??
@@Ubermensch201 It’s time to keep pens and pencils away from that kid! Lol
how the hell would you do that??@@Ubermensch201
Lifesaver candy has the whole in the middle so if small kids chocked them they could still breath
@@karenv5103Your spelling is atrocious. For shame.
When a video teaches you more than the school.
We had teacher be amazede
take that teach
Lmao I've seen lots of comments like this but I agree on it so much 😂
Yeah if only my chemistry teacher whipped out some McDonald's fries and blew my mind putting sauce on the carton
You just need to pay attention in school.
Jk :)
Can't even afford to eat at McDonald's anymore!
Fun Fact: Overly ripe brown bananas are actually perfect for bananna bread
😂😂 who knew?
And milkshakes!
i throw them in the freezer and when I have 3 or 4 I make a loaf of banana bread and give it away.
i generally have several bananas in the freezer .. a few seconds in the microwave .. and into every cake batter, pie filling etc. .. use them as another 'extract' ...
Yes also they are perfect for chocolate and banana cake
3:37 .. I used hand sanitizer to clean my bong and surprisingly it worked 😂
I'm surprised to learn that the city of Albuquerque covers the entire area of the state of New Mexico! Who knew?
You had me INTERESTED until you started talking about your NOODLE, I mean the FLOATY NOODLE, affixing it to the air vents is just RIDICULOUS🙆😆
Another thing about mustard is it alleviates cramps quickly. Just a small amount will get rid of that pesky cramp that wakes you up in the middle of the night
Bicarbonate of soda is great for removing stains in coffee and tea cups. Also place a small bowl of bicarb in the fridge to absorb odours. Love your channel by the way. 👍❤️🧑🦳
Ice removes coffee stains in pots and cups /glass
Yellow mustard can also be used for minor burns from cooking if you rub Yellow mustard on a burn immediately after the burn it'll eventually take away the pain as it dries slathera generous amount of yellow mustard let it dry wipe off. I've been a line cook for about 20+ years and in a kitchen yellow mustard is everywhere
Someone else pointed out that yellow mustard was good for treating burns. Good, you amplified it.
I work at a grocery store and i am the self checkout attendant. DO NOT MUTE THE VOICE. It is there so i can hear if someone needs help. If you turn off the volume you won't be helped efficiently. Thank you 4:09
Another mustard tip: If you get a leg cramp (charley horse) that wakes you up during the night, start flexing your foot back and forth if the cramp is in your calf muscle. But if that doesn't work, hobble out to the kitchen and squirt some mustard into your mouth. It stops leg cramps immediately! I assume it has something to do with your taste buds shocking the brain, which then asks, "WTF was that?" However it works, it works. But if you do it too often, it stops working. You can then start taking a big swig of pickle juice. It does the same thing, stops the muscle cramp immediately. Or try anything with a strong flavor. Horseradish, maybe? But in the meantime, start taking a magnesium supplement in the evening to help prevent the leg cramps.
I soak my labels with vinegar, then they just slide right off. Much better than the eraser. You can use vegetable oil as well.
Liquid Butane works too
@@Sunny-ju1lr Why would I want to use something toxic (even if it's low toxicity) and smells like hell when vegetable oil and vinegar are food safe and human safe and don't trigger headaches and vomiting (the smell of butane has that affect on me, I'm hyper-sensitive to certain smells)? I'll refrain from the butane. 😉
But, if someone wants to use liquid butane, that's their choice, naturally. 🙂👍
Rubbing alcohol works best.
@@katheryn769 Not in my experience. It evaporates quickly, while the oil stays put, same with vinegar. You just soak a cotton pad, or some folded up paper towel in vinegar (If using vinegar) and leave it on the label, come back in about 20 minutes and it wipes right off. Rubbing alcohol is also an offensive odor to me. I don't mind vinegar because I make dressings using it all the time, and vegetable oil tends to have zero odor.
@@SusanKay- That and for cleaning glass without streaks too. Vinegar is great! 😁
Phones have a fingerprint resistance film on its screen. Rubbing alcohol wipes that off within two or three cleans. So do that one at your own risk.
Oleophobic coating, first used on the iPhone 3gs. even your protective screen should come with layer, and alcohol will eat it away. you can test to see if its still present on your device by with the bead drop test. if a drop of water beads up, its there. if it splatters out, its gone.
@@billybones6463 Didn't know about that test. Just did it, still got it. Although the multiple cracks on the screen kind of diminished my satisfaction. Cheers!
We used to use a pencil eraser to clean the edge of circuit boards. It works also on bank cards with the chip inside when those contacts get soiled.
I used that on old Atari game cartridges.
Still do
Didn’t realise they were good for removing stickers will definitely give that a go as I always have annoying remains of stickers and glue on game and dvd cases that I can’t remove
Another pool noodle or styrafoam dollar tree floaty board use: awesome for sealing the gaps around your window a/c. Just cut them to desired size. Also, when cutting foam or lighter couch cusion foam, use your bread or large kitchen knife. It really does cut like butter!
Yes the filling the gaps around windows and doors is called "chinking" not racial...expanding foam is not always used...alot of waste.
1:40 no wonder those weather predictions always seem wrong
Except this information isn’t correct.
@@gypsydust
I prefer to think you're right. I'd already decided to just go right on using the percentage like I always did. The other way is far too annoying. 😅
You can also use hand sanitizer to detect counterfeit money. The ink used by most commercially available printers will run & smear when it comes into contact with hand sanitizer.
😂 Thanks for the rain explanation. Since I was a kid, it never made sense to me. Whenever the meteorologist 'predicted' a 50-70% chance, it might barely sprinkle. However, it never failed to pour down when it was a 20% chance🤷🏽😅
03:35 - "Super" hand sanitizer. DO NOT use hand sanitizer for cleaning screens, stains from clothes, etc. Many sanitizers include skin moisturizers like aloe because using sanitizer often means the alcohol in it will damage skin.
Yes riding around holding a pool toy in the car with both hands is easier than being 5 degrees outside of your favorite temperature.
I love how they show the pool noodle going into his shorts leg, if I saw that while doing 80mph on the highway I would end up crashing into him!
@Van Gogo right! And I was thinking 'is the driver really going to want a backseat passenger, or any one to put the pool noodle in their vents'? Lol
@@gennyzelis2303 Lol, not me, that's for sure!🤣😲
i hate when that happens and your wife is in the car
