LPT – A coconut’s meat separates from the shell easily if you freeze it I found this tip on an obscure YouTube channel yesterday and was skeptical, both because it seemed too good to be true and because ‘how could I have not heard of this before?’ However, it worked amazingly well. I drilled the coconut to drain it and then popped it in the freezer. This morning I took it out and attacked it with a hammer… and fou…

LPT – Take your holey underwear on holiday Underwear have holes, or falling apart at the seams? I never throw underwear away. Instead, I take it on holiday, wear it one last time, and THEN throw it away in the hotel trash can / bin. Yes, I know it’s strange to wear underwear that’s falling apart while on holiday, but the benefits are that 1. you don’t have to take dirty underwear home wi…

LPT – Download shows/ movies when not traveling Maybe I’m just a terrible procrastinator, but one thing I always forget to do is download things I’d watch on the plane the day before a trip. While airports have WiFi and you can download them there on a layover, you would need a lot of time as it is extremely slow and it sometimes may not even download. If possible, download shows and movies w…

LPT – Do not ignore the “red flags”. Cut the toxicity early, be the change, save yourself. Don’t ignore the red flags in the relationship matter even when you think you can work things out later. Relationships are always about emotions. That’s why you are ultimately vulnerable, that’s why you will fail. Accept the idea the person you choose and gonna be with, will not change. Your empathy, honesty, open personality, CAN’T turn things…

For any food cravings that will take you over your limit, burn the number calories equivalent to the food you want. Want a whopper Jr? Jog 3 miles. Want a Snickers bar? Bike for 30 min. Weight loss is a mental challenge. A change in the way you view things can be the difference. submitted by /u/P…

LPT – COBRA coverage when changing jobs If you change jobs and will have a gap between the end of your current insurance coverage and the beginning of you new insurance coverage, you should elect COBRA coverage and delay making the payment until after the new insurance begins.

LPT if you have ADHD and struggle with cleaning or getting anything done. Drink loads of water and do it by procrastinating pissing not the task at hand. If you have ADHD or struggle with procrastination, just get yourself a nice tall glass or two of water and chug that shit. Now you have your very own internal timer with inbuilt discomfort! All jokes aside this actually helps, I used to do all my essays really quickly, sending uncomfortable emails, anything like that it helps trust. submit…

LPT – Check your states “unclaimed property” portals regularly 1 in 7 people have unclaimed property waiting for them in a government database. Uncashed payroll checks, insurance reimbursements that weren’t delivered properly, tax refunds, and old investment returns are just a few examples. Businesses and agencies are required by law to hold onto this unclaimed money for a specific period of time, then hand…

LPT – If an item you bought on Amazon recently is on sale for Prime day, contact customer support. If you bought an item that’s still within the return window, only to find out it’s now on sale, you may be able to get the difference returned to you. This happened to me once. I contacted support. They initially had an attitude of “Well, it wasn’t on sale when you bought it.” Then I asked “Is there anything stopping me from returning my purcha…

LPT Extra warranties/insurance U.K. LPT as someone who used to work in insurance. Unless you are worried about accidental damage and have good reason to, don’t go for the monthly insurance options. I quit because I felt like a parasite, it was awful for my MH. The consumer rights act 2015 essentially means that for 6 years, the company had to repair/replace the goods if they beco…

LPT if you use Microsoft Teams, it has a feature called Speaker Coach to help you with public speaking. Microsoft Teams has a feature called Speaker Coach that you can enable to help you with public speaking. It makes suggestions based on what you say, and how you say it. It highlights filler words like Hmm. Ummm. You know. and many others. It makes suggestions based on your tone of voice, pace, repetitive language, etc. I’ve found it useful to he…

LPT – When getting a pet, ensure that you are strong enough to securely lift it with one hand. All pets (not including rocks) are animals and as such can’t communicate in a reliable way. If an animal for any reason becomes aggressive, there is no certain way to get them to desist. It is therefore imperative that you not risk putting yourself in such a situation with an animal too large for you to restrain safely. Being able to lift the an…

LPT Use melamine sponges to remove antiperspirant or deodorant marks! My wife found this out accidentally. I bought literally 100 cheap ones, and they didn’t hold together like the name brand ones. Not great for cleaning. One day she tried to use one to rub some antiperspirant off of some black fabric, and it just worked! Turns out it works on almost any garment. A gentle rub of a melamine sponge on fabric remove…

LPT adopting a specific dog breed from an animal shelter Sometimes people seek out certain dog breeds for various reasons. Rather than buying from a breeder, check in with your local animal shelters. Many animal shelters are willing to put your name on a list if you are looking for a specific breed of dog for when one is ready for adoption. Often times they will call you when the specific breed you ar…

LPT – offering food, skipping the awkwardness When you have a friend/guest over for example, and you ask if they’d like anything to eat, they may feel awkward saying yeah at first (or at all) despite feeling hungry. I’ve noticed, if you give a choice it goes smoother. For example, instead of: “Do you want to eat anything?” Say: “Hey would you rather have a burger or hotdog?” “Snickers or t…
