LPT: if you want to watch social media stories with no ads, watch backwards scroll to the end of all your friends/followers stories, then swipe left and watch backwards to avoid the obnoxious ads submitted by /u/KingKuntaa

LPT: X and Y axis can be deduced with the rhyme “Y to the Sky” (Meaning: Up) i’m middle aged and constantly have to look up which is which cause i’m not the type of person who remembers binary definitions for whatever personal ‘spectrum’ reasons. today i invented a ‘fix’ and lo, and behold, it already exists online. what a shocker. but i didn’t see it mentioned in this sub, so maybe it’ll help someone else, and cheers to…

LPT: Wait a day before making a big purchase. FOMO is real. I have a rule where if a single item cost is over a certain amount, that I have to “sleep on it” before I buy it. That way if I’m out shopping, or browsing online, and see something that is over say $50 dollars, I will promise myself that if I want or need it bad enough I will come back and buy it tomorrow. Nine times out of ten I …

LPT: Get a prenup Plain and simple. No matter how in love or okay with things you are before you decide to get the government involved, when things go sideways they will not be on your side and will just make things more difficult. submitted by /u/booomboombumi

LPT for first time homeowners? My husband and I (late 20s) are about to buy our first home. We take care of basic things in our rental right now, like changing the air filter and doing lawn care, but what are some important things we should know about owning and caring for a house? For context if this matters, it’s a detached with a small fenced yard in Ontario, Canada. s…

LPT: Assume It’s Been Pissed On Anything in your yard, nearby park, or business that is within 15 inches of the ground, go ahead and assume it’s been pissed on by a dog. This is based on my personal dog walking experience. Especially, this time of year, with Halloween decorations. submitted by /u/thumpngroove

LPT: remain calm at all times when behind the wheel I get it, we all get mad or frustrated when someone cuts us off, drives too slow, etc. It’s not worth yelling and cursing over it though. If anything, your rage will make you drive aggressively, endangering others on the road. Do you really want to put other people’s life in danger because you have anger issues? And passengers: stop back seat dr…

LPT: Shower everyday with soap will reduce body odor. I dunno. Just a quick peek at the front page and I thought we were posting basic common sense now submitted by /u/Plenitudeblowsputin

LPT: Being an easy wingman After meeting a friend’s significant other, if it’s early in the relationship. TEXT them later and say how you enjoyed meeting their SO/how perfect they are together and how nice they are…… The friend will most likely show the SO and get brownie points. Easy way to be a wingman kinda TEXT don’t call, so there is physical proof submitted…

LPT: Spreadable butter Don’t buy spreadable butter unless you would spread canola oil instead. Just microwave a stick of butter 10 seconds to get your own real spreadable butter. submitted by /u/mikep4

LPT: Try to give praise in public and only discipline people in private. submitted by /u/BellaSuperfisky

LPT: Your phone can send scheduled texts On an Android, press and gold the send button, then you can schedule when that text is sent. It’s great for people like me that forget birthdays. Iphone does it too, but I don’t have one, so you’d have to google how. submitted by /u/Pauler_Bear

LPT Kids: understand that if you want something your parents can’t afford, you can make money yourself. LPT: When I was a kid, my Big Wheel got old. I wanted a Green Machine, but my parents wouldn’t get me one. So the BW ended up going on the garbage truck, and I had to wait until I was big enough for a bicycle. But if I could tell my 5 year old self anything, I’d say set up a lemonade stand on the corner of your street (it was the town’s second m…

LPT Request: what should I do about earwax that won’t come out? I recently got covid and my mom and I went to get a doctor’s note for my school, the doctor told us that I had some earwax in my ear too. They told us some medication called debrox to try for it and when we tried it, some of it was dropped into my ear, and what it was supposed to do is break the wax up, which it may have done but it also feels l…

LPT couches & chairs Whenever you buy a new couch or chair ALWAYS get zippered cushions… as they wear out and get flat you can always add more filling to them with old pillows or whatever to keep them nice and fluffy …;) submitted by /u/angie_fearing

Lpt request:What is your coping mechanism for all type of anxiety? I feel like I’m avoiding and running away from my problems because it seems like anxiety is triggering my weakness. I sometimes notice that I eat unhealthy binge foods, sit on my phone for hours, procrastinating has increased, not really focusing on my life even though worries and overthinking about my goals & tasks have been reminding me over a…

LPT: Tourniquets are good for 2 hours before the wound needs to be patched/stitched up properly Source: a video from either III motor rifles or the Azov battalion and the medics were talking about how a lot of guys who had “relatively” minor wounds, or even treatable major limb bleeds, would lose their limbs unnecessarily. In essence when you start bleeding heavily you tourniquet the limb to prevent blood loss. This is good. However, what…

LPT request: How to deal with a terrible leader at work Long story short, our team at work has a new leader that I can’t stand (e.g. super territorial and power hungry, will take credit for your work). I found out she keeps tabs on who’s actively engaging in offsites, meetings, and events, and reprimands my skip level manager (let’s call her Jane, whom I adore) for not keeping her “team in line” if o…

LPT: Familiarize yourself with your university’s ombudsperson As a student you have rights. Lots of them. It happens often that (some bad) professors will assume you don’t know your rights as a student and try to take advantage of them. If you have a situation where your professor gives you a syllabus that violates university policy, or you have a conflict that you want addressed completely anonymously if …
