LPT: Turn overripe fruits into coulis If you have overripe fruit, fruit that is starting to go bad, or even fruit that tastes kind of meh, coulis is a great solution Strawberry coulis tastes like how strawberry is supposed to taste but never quite lives up to. Better yet it can be done with those strawberries you forgot in the back of the fridge that are kind of dried up and starti…

LPT: If you want to keep your avocado from browning, store it with a slice of onion! 🥑🧅 Cut avocados can turn brown quickly due to oxidation, but placing them in an airtight container with a slice of onion can slow that process down significantly. The sulfur compounds in the onion help preserve the avocado’s freshness. submitted by /u/asianpixiedollvip

LPT: There are no punishments. Everything is just a tradeoff. If you accept the tradeoffs you can do whatever you want. You don‘t mind getting banned in your game? You can be toxic. You have the freedom. You don’t mind risking a life in jail? You can rob the bank. You don’t mind the tradeoff of being viewed as an asshole and potentially risking your relationship? You can cheat. Doesn’t mean you should. But the more tradeoffs you accept … the more freedom to do st…

LPT: See if there is phone check in to avoid waiting in line. MVA (DMV) in Maryland allows you to check in via your phone. It let me stay in the warm car instead of standing outside in line, and I’m checked in 15 minutes before it opens. submitted by /u/apzuckerman

LPT: Smelly feet? Use powder coffee! Okay it doesnt mean that you should abandon fee hygiene and wash them every day, but if you one day notice that you have smelly feet and are embarrassed to take off your shoes without having to kill small insects within 3 mile radius, put 2 teaspoon of ground coffee in each of your shoes at night, and then dump them the next morning. Repeat this…

LPT: Don’t register for important accounts with your ISP supplied email. You never know if or when you might lose access to it. Be it voluntarily or if you get down on your luck and can’t afford to pay the bill. They don’t let you keep the email when you’re no longer a customer and it’s a pain to change accounts over in some cases. submitted by /u/TrunksTheMighty

LPT: If you have a negative mark on your credit report from a company that’s no longer in business, dispute it. If they don’t respond within 28 days, it will be removed automatically. I discovered this by accident about 10 years ago. I had made a couple of separate late payments to a utility company, but the company had incorrectly reported 5 simultaneous months of late payments to Experian (anything over 3 months of late payments is REALLY bad for your credit). The company had recently gone into administration so I was worr…

LPT: Add furniture felt pads to the bottom of doors to prevent unwanted swinging. After extensive research, I found a better solution than bending door hinge pins to stop doors from swinging closed automatically unwanted. By adding furniture felt pads to the bottom of doors, you can create just enough friction to stop them from swinging closed. This method is much easier and less damaging than bending hinge pins, which often …

LPT: Want lower car insurance premiums? Check your state/local laws. Some drivers can elect to complete a defensive driving course to receive discounts A r/MildlyBadDrivers post reminded me of this fact. I was a speedster in my teens and have taken 2-3 of these classes. They really have paid off over time because of all the accidents I’ve avoided in the last ~20 years. Not only the benefit of my physical safety and of others, the damages saved to vehicles, but also lower premiums! It’s a win in…

LPT: Easy watering reminder for those with a busy life and many houseplants The most accurate method is always to check the soil moisture of your plants. However, if you have numerous plants and a hectic lifestyle, it may sometimes be challenging to focus on this and remember when to water them. I previously arranged my plants by their water needs, but that didn’t work well due to their differing sunlight requirements. …

LPT: if you have dry peanut butter or nutella at the bottom of a jar, you can mix in a small amount of vegetable oil to make it spreadable again I used to throw out the stuff at the bottom when I couldn’t mix it, now I can use everything I can scrape out! And you can do this with any other kinds of nut butter too. submitted by /u/OopsImWeird

LPT If you neglect the needs of your heart, you will risk lifelong addictions It starts with the small things. Events that seem insignificant at first glance are often the cause for drowning in gambling, substance abuse, or endless hours in front of screens. The real pandemic of the 21st century was not COVID, but rapidly growing loneliness. Although we’re more connected than ever, nearly one in three Americans between 18…

LPT: If a prospective employer won’t move forward unless you disclose your current pay, include your annual 401k match in that figure. Unlike a discretionary bonus, a 401k match is contractually obligated. It just happens to automatically go in your retirement savings. Obviously, the employer is trying to see how much they can lowball you by asking your current salary. By giving this answer you’re not lying about your total compensation. submitted by /u/OkWelcome890

LPT Make sure your backup phone is ready to go. If you have an old phone in case of emergency, make sure WhatsApp is installed and your authenticator app is synced and up to date. This will let you get into accounts you have set up 2fa on. My screen cracked last week and stopped turning on. I grabbed an old phone i had for backup, Google services had been logged out so no apps could update. I…

LPT: If you suspect that there’s an intruder in your home, don’t turn on the light, instead use a flashlight that has a strobe function It’s not obvious at first, but you are actually at an advantage in the dark because you are more familiar with your house than the intruder. Having the flashlight allows you to see when you need to, and the strobe will disorient any potential intruder which makes them easier to incapacitate. submitted by /u/Gullit-Gang

LPT: Don’t trust the discounts shown on sites like Amazon, Aliexpress especially during sales, they’re all made up. Instead, type “amazon price history”, “aliexpress price history” in Google, and you’ll likely see that the “discounted” price is just the regular price, labeled to look like a deal. Sale season is coming up. I remember how I used to react to big discount tags – it led to impulsive purchases. But now there are free websites where you can check the price history for items you want. Just search “amazon price history”, “aliexpress price history” etc., on Google, Bing, DuckDuckGo, … and look at the price chart. You’ll quickly …

LPT If you feel like you’re in a rut, learn something random It can be anything from the meaning of flowers, or languages, animals or computers. It takes more focus than the same routine and gives your brain a sense of novelty. submitted by /u/BusydaydreamerA137
