LPT: Pressing 0 on an automated call machine will often transfer you to an agent If you’re calling a number where you have to navigate a phone menu, pressing 0 once or repeatedly will often transfer you to an agent. Although it’s not a spoken option, I’ve got it to work with many numbers, and cut my time spent on call. submitted by /u/rrvvs

LPT – How to fix acid reflux instantly I have never seen this posted anywhere but I have found a way to completely fix acid reflux/hiccups with 100% effectiveness and no medication required. This is not medical advice but it is absolutely revolutionary and I am literally going against big pharma by even posting this, so I don’t expect it to last long here. For years I tried to remedy…

LPT Request: How to tell which trees are safe and/or dangerous during a wind storm This feels pretty silly to ask because the LPT should really be “Don’t go walking through the woods during a windstorm”, but … I was walking my dog through the park this morning and it was pretty windy. I didn’t realize just how windy until we were pretty deep in the park and I noticed how much the trees were swaying. Every path had some degre…

LPT: If you’re not sure if an image is AI, use reverse image search. Of course, this is not a perfect method but this should help in most cases. submitted by /u/throw-away3105

LPT: Put your chips in the fridge or freezer An opened bag of Doritos (I get it we eat them in one sitting yes) will last for 2 months in the fridge or freezer. They’ll taste pretty fresh as long as you fold them close and your fridge doesn’t smell. submitted by /u/nobadhotdog

LPT: Check out you health insurance rewards programs A lot of insurance companies have an incentive program where you can click a few buttons and get easy (free!) money. I have Cigna. I took a quick pre screener, and that made me eligible to automatically receive $50 for both my regular dentist appointment and my annual checkup. I also get $20 once a month for checking a box that says “I exercise…

LPT: If you’re looking to cook while camping but dont want to bring your salt, pepper and spices, use noodle sachets. Vegetable flavour steak, chicken flavour veg, the world is your oyster young adventurerer! submitted by /u/ReturnoftheSpack

LPT: Make sure you get an email confirmation when you cancel your Prime account: When you choose “end membership” on Prime it now immediately tells you the number of days you have left, making it seem like that’s the number of days before your membership ends, but it’s actually the number of days until renewal, and you have to scroll down to the bottom and hit another button to continue canceling membership. It’s transparent…

LPT – Say “neti neti” to your thoughts Neti neti (not this not this) is a tactic used to be more mindful. Often minds rule the person, instead of the person using the mind as a tool (which it is) Remember you are the pebble in the river, and the river of “thoughts” should flow around you. Observe, don’t judge let the thoughts drift by. Neti neti submitted by /u/Emergency_Bath…

LPT: Looking for Pro Advice on taking the next step in where we live Hi! Looking for some advice on what to do next with our lives. Me, my boyfriend, and our dog (small) want to move soon and need to decide where. Problem is, we are in a bit of choice paralysis and need some insight. We’re currently living with family after renting out our home here to prepare to move elsewhere. We both work remotely and can do s…

LPT: motivate your child/ kids to memorize your mobile phone number. Long time ago in the car on road trip, my kids wanted to play on tablets. Just for fun I’ve told them, first they need to memorize my phone number. They were motivated, it took them just a few minutes to learn. Then, from time to time I’ve checked, if they still remember that. It is well written in their little brains, lol. Just today I was cont…

LPT: Fixing a Ruined Whiteboard If you happen to have a whiteboard that whatever you write on it won’t come off no matter what cleaner or method you use, you probably have a board that has a ruined finish/top coat. I learned this the hard way when I had a brain fart and took a gritty scrub pad to my board to remove some leftover adhesive on it. Overtime, whiteboards lose their…

LPT: Warm your hands faster by heating your inner wrists When you have freezing hands, don’t warm the palms and fingers of your hands (with hand warmers, heating pad, warm drink, etc.). Place the heat source directly on your inner wrists where your radial artery is located. The skin is thinner and can more efficiently pump warm blood into your hands, heating them faster. submitted by /u/coconu…

LPT: If you’re ordering food delivery, and want it hot, put delivery instructions in the app. I’ve been driving for Doordash and Ubereats for years. The smoothest and fastest deliveries are by far the ones that include delivery instructions, ESPECIALLY FOR APARTMENTS. Something as simple as “building 5, turn right as you enter the complex, third building on the left” makes all the difference to drivers, many of whom are trying to find yo…

LPT: Point barcodes towards your cashier at gas stations/convenient stores. It doesn’t save a ton of time but it does speed up a bit, makes the cashier happy and over all it smooths out the process.(especially during a lunch rush) If you have candy make sure the barcode is pointed up, if you have a drink point the barcode towards them. Have money or card ready. submitted by /u/THE-KOALA-BEAR710

LPT: Stuck on a tough decision? Pretend your friend is asking for advice Next time you’re overthinking something, try this: imagine a friend is in your exact situation and asking what they should do. What would you tell them? For some reason, it’s way easier to give good advice to other people than to ourselves. We get caught up in emotions, doubts, and overthinking. But when you step back and look at it like an outs…

LPT Request: How to Be ALWAYS Mindful and aware ? Hey everyone How can I be more aware of my actions before they cause harm? Any advice on actively staying present and accountable? Context: (I’ve realized I’ve been unintentionally hurting people I care about without noticing until they brought it up. I tend to brush things off, omit, or defend myself instead of facing them. It feels like I’ve b…

LPT: If you want a web app to be available as a desktop app, Chrome and Edge both allow you to “Install the Page as App” Edge Open the web app that you normally use (For my example I hate having to use Teams for Microsoft Planner) Click the Three Dots in the upper corner Go down to “Apps” then you should see an option to “Install this site as an app” You can even pin the app to the desktop and it’ll have the Planner Icon too so it behaves just like an app but it’…
