LPT – If there’s an iPhone game that has too many ads, turn off the app’s access to your data (This of course only works if the app doesn’t require internet to function. If it does require internet then the option may not show up.) This may already be common sense and I’m late to the party, but I was fiddling with my settings and realized that if you turn off the app’s access to Cellular data then you can turn off just your WiFi and stil…

LPT Bring an extension cord when you travel for electronic devices Let’s face it: these days we all have electrical devices that need charging! Many hotels and motels, especially older ones, don’t have electrical outlets conveniently placed for this purpose. Often times you have to pull the bed or couch away from the wall, or plug into an outlet that’s 10 feet away… when you only have a 6 foot cord. Which sucks…

LPT – let your tea brew for at least 3 minutes I see that mostly with the older generation (my parents for example), they always say that “tea is such an healthy way to open the morning”, but then proceed to drink tea that was brewed for 30 seconds at most. now, different teas have different optimal brewing times (and temps), but It’s not only about the taste, the things that make tea actual…

LPT : Understand where your information is coming from Word of mouth and the internet are not resources you can trust, especially as society navigates ai. I can’t tell you how many videos on YouTube my friend (who recently bought a house) has watched about retaining walls, patios, decks etc. where the video creator is completely wrong in their construction practices. People dedicate their lives to s…

LPT when flying U.S. domestic, always use the app If you don’t have a bag you’ll be able to seamlessly check in without paper. Some airlines also offer free entertainment on their apps if the plane doesn’t come with a screen. If you’re worried about privacy you can always delete the app after landing, and always sign in as guest as to not make an account. submitted by /u/epicap232

LPT Easiest way to open produce bags at grocery stores Those thin produce bags in grocery stores can be a hassle to open. Many stores have automatic water sprayers onto the produce to make it shiny and more appealing. Touch some wet produce you intend to buy. Your wet fingers will then easily open the bag so you can put your produce inside it. submitted by /u/ShapeyShifter

LPT – How to get rid of hickeys on the boobs? SOS I’m desperate. I received these enormous hickeys on my boobs on Saturday and they are not going away. I’ve tried cold spoon, warm compress, rubbing with lipstick cap, but it seems like boob hickeys are a different breed and nothing has worked so far. Who has experience dealing with these? Please help. submitted by /u/Intrepid_Cloud_5087 …

LPT – Save voicemails from people you care about as audio files I started this a long time ago. Every so often, I’ll get a voicemail from someone, and instead of just keeping it on my phone, I save it as an audio file, then store it somewhere safe. There aren’t a lot of them, and they aren’t very big. The older ones don’t even sound that great. Today, I was missing my uncle, who passed about 19 years ago. So…

LPT Gotta sneeze? Baby sleeping? Push up on the tip of your nose. You’ll be blocking a branch of the trigeminal nerve, which will literally reroute the neurologic signal that is sent when your body is preparing to sneeze. Posting because my 35 year old wife was blown away when she was about to sneeze while holding our sleeping infant and I walked up and pushed her nose. Sneeze immediately disappeared. She ha…

LPT Get yourself a spider plant for your mental health Spider plants are extremely durable indoor plants. But they’ll let you know when they’re getting dry. Water your plant every time it starts to droop, might happen every couple of weeks. And watch how it springs back up! Use this timing to check on yourself. Have you given yourself enough love, just like your plant? If not, smile at the change …

Lpt – If your contact lens prescription has expired and you don’t have insurance, you can renew your prescription online for a fraction of the cost for a doctors visit My prescription expired in 2022 and the cheapest doctor in town was going to charge $130 for a new one. Welp, turns out you can renew your prescription online for $20. I did it on 1-800 Contacts but there’s other sites that do it too. It took about 10 minutes to do and you don’t have to buy their contacts submitted by /u/Ltrain108 …

LPT – The best way to deal with pushy salespeople in public places. Ignore them completely. I can bet this is the best way. I’m talking about salespeople in shopping malls and streets. They may be selling credit cards or some or the other kind of products. What they want is to get some or the other response from the customer. They want the customer’s attention. Even if the customer says no, they’ve got some resp…

LPT what to say when someone compliments you Rather than offering a direct compliment back, say something along the lines of, “That’s so nice of you to say!”. In return, you are giving a genuine compliment rather than fishing for a quick compliment, “I like your shirt!”. It will just seem more genuine overall. submitted by /u/moonlightx2007

LPT – Buy Used Furniture If you plan on having kids If you want children in the nearest future (1-2 years) then please buy used furniture. Why NOT to buy new and/or expensive furniture: young kids accidentally stain, rip, break furniture and home decor just because they don’t know any better yet. It is normal and it’s not their fault. however, if you invest into some expensive items, you will f…

LPT – Think in a different language. 🙂 I am a person who can speak multiple languages fluently. If you can too, and feel you are unable to concentrate on a specific issue or think through a situation, try thinking (and talking to yourself) in a different language to your mother tongue. Itll help you parse your thoughts better, since you are thinking if it a little more thoroughly, on…

LPT Throw away all of your old socks onc a year and replace them with new sets. LPT. If you fid yourself rummaging around your sock drawer, looking for a pair of socks but wasting time trying to match up odd socks, or finding your socks have worn holes in them through use once you’ve put them on… here’s a tip for you. We generally keep adding to our sock drawers, never throwing away older socks until they’re worn through …

LPT – The best time to apologise and make up for past mistakes is now Seriously. Too late is very much a thing. You wronged someone and regret it? Tell them that. Now. That person could very well be waiting for it, willing to give you another chance. But if they see no effort on your part, they won’t wait for you forever. Go apologise and make up for it before it’s too late. submitted by /u/Zepp41 …

LPT public speaking anxiety If you have the option, volunteer to go first when having to speak publicly. Chances are, hardly anyone is paying attention because they are too busy thinking about how nervous they are for their turn to present. submitted by /u/moonlightx2007

LPT When cancelling a local service over the phone, use the excuse that you’re military and being posted out of the country for instant service disconnection with limited hassle. My wife and I are both military and always use this trick to get off the phone in 5 minutes. Realistically could drop the military and just say you’re moving to Africa. I always start with “Hi, I’d like to cancel my service today, I’m military and being posted out of the country”. Never had a retention offer or an “oh let me go see if we offer s…
