For example if the police are looking for a male wearing a red hoodie and blue jeans, dress the part and walk in the area where the offender was last spotted. When the police arrive with weapons drawn, have a fake panic attack. A lawyer will contact you after seeing the video on facebook. They will sue for emotional distress and you will get an easy payday!!

You’ll get a lot of people saying “wow! You look great/seem like you’re in a good mood!”’ when you see them again on a day that isn’t the worst day of your life.

Works for fridges, vacuum cleaners, washers, dryers, parents, siblings, kids, husband, wife.

Involuntary aversion therapy. Also works with co-workers

Let’s say you encounter a former classmate 30 years after graduation. Just kinda act like you have no idea who this person is but still be really friendly. No stories or reminiscing. Your former classmate will think you went all Hollywood on them or an imposter took over your identity. Just keep the mystery going, ya know.

In all seriousness I don't know how that worked but I can now not only wake up and get to work on time but I sleep "early" now at 10pm. I think due to pre travel anxiety I was suddenly staying up to 2-3 hours before my clock in time, not that I was doing any better sleeping past midnight before. It's not a great life pro tip because living in an opposite time zone for 2 weeks is not feasible for most either due to expense or other life commitments (im single with a job that has enough pto for those kind of adventures) but it worked, so... 🤷‍♀️

That way if the police stop you, you can quickly reach them without taking your eyes off the officer.

All you need to do is add different numbers to your tracking number. Then you can see the status of packages belonging to complete strangers. Some call it an invasion of privacy, but it’s really just about knowing the business of strangers.

You can tell it's a real life hack by all of the confused and frustrated looks from others for not having thought of it themselves.

MODS: I tried over at r/AskReddit, but their rules make my question off-limits, and I kinda don't know where to ask this. Remove as you see fit. Thx.

My POS father left when I was two. Never heard from him again. Looked him up recently, and he's still alive. I've had no contact for more than fifty years, and I don't want any. I just wanna know when he dies. His name is (surprisingly) not as uncommon as I thought, but I want to figure out how to automate looking for his obituary. I know where he lives (or lived until a couple years ago), know his spouse's name, etc. How do I set up a search for his obituary that will keep running?

Again, not looking for contact. Just wanna know he's dead so's I can buy my ma some flowers (without telling her why), and lift a glass myself. Thx.

Stoicism has a saying momento mori, remember you must die, that helps us see life in a different lens! Share this with everyone.

A lot of you young people won’t remember, but flatulence used to be a very popular tool for managers in management. Let’s say a subordinate does something great. After praising this employee, good managers would let out a juicy fart and say something like “There’s a little flavor for the egghead now get your ass back to work” or “Ladies, next ones coming your way”. Doing this builds character and lets the employees know YOU are the strongest and best person in the room. Good managers would go to their filthy subordinate’s wedding and fart loudly during the vows. You used to be able to do that as a manager or in some cases even a team leader. AI will never fart on a subordinate’s lunch and call them the F word.

You’re welcome
