why do i hate that artist thing that people keep posting on my facebook so much? why am i such a jerk?

They're not 'lifehacks,' they're almost unsurpassedly ordinary.

^seriously. A lifehack would be, like, how do I make money to live on without working or something.

Casino, I think I sent the Sagan one to you in a private message, but yeah, I have a lot of fucking lovers of science on my fb. Also loving that this thread is enough of a priority for you to check from China!

Re: Sagan picture, I wd argue that the reduction of the phenomena of the sunset to 'romance' is the real harm

you know what else would work for all that food, a plastic bag, but then the different colors of food might touch each other

She is slightly more resourceful than the ''10 Rules for Dating my Daughter'' dude.

terrifying

When people share that, are they sharing because it's a funny caricature of what they think ... or because they actually think it?

Either way, fucking hell

Huh. My own mothers rules would go something like:

1. OMGThankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou

hahah

lol

lol mine would be "Are you sure?"

Unwritten rule: I own my son the way other people own a dog, and I have no intention of ever changing that.

11, You never her

My rules for dating my imaginary daughter:
no playing your "slow jamz mix" on first date
if you text your penis to her that photo WILL go on a freeway billboard
if you chat me and my husband up like a car salesman, she will NEVER, EVER date you because you are a secret creep
if yr skinny jeans are falling down around your ass when you enter my home I will pants you

emilys, no, i'm sure there was another! Around the time of one about Descartes maybe? No way will i try to load this whole thread on my phone thru hostel internet to check tho.

and yes, high priority

that is the least Blake-y sounding quote those morons could possibly have made up

I looked at that & began to run up image of Blake's Newton with Drake inspirational quote attached, but there is no point to parody or jokes in this thread, Facebook sincerity will always outpace you

late pass but fuckyourlifehacks tumblr is so wonderful

i knew someone who did that lifehack shit IRL and he acted like he had brought down wisdom from Mt. Sinai or something

xxxxxxp I can never see the words "William Blake" without thinking of

fuckyourlifehacks tumblr pleasantly reminded me of this excellent tips repository (which I was also cheered to discover was still going): http://heroofswitzerland.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Top%20Tips

oh god, mencap. the food kit lives on.

lol indeed

Remove the asshole mt. sinai vibe from lifehack, but pour in a healthy dose of Pluggers, and you've got Top Tips.

omg yes

(Pluggers for those who don't live in the new world:

I love Top Tips, it's the Lifehacks for the Lilian Vernon set.

i don't think these moms understand how disruptive this is to how we think about food containers today. poor, ignorant fools.

Site needs more nylon netting.

love when a plugger has a pet that's the same species as them

CD spindle things smell weird and I think they would make my bagel smell weird and they are probably not dishwasher safe, either, so that is super dumb.

With the food kit, I like to imagine some the face of some smug lifehacker grandly handing an embroidery floss case full of tiny snacks to their five-year-old in the backseat as that child immediately dumps the entire contents of the box all over the car, where the lifehacker will continue to find raisins and cinnamon candies for the next eight years until he finally sells the car in despair.

I had no idea what a "plugger" is but the caption on that cartoon made it seem like someone actually draws a cartoon devoted to anthropomorphic animals who seek to clog public toilets.

...
...

Yeah, that's pretty much the nail on the head.

What's a plugger, though.

lady if you have to ask

I've always heard it in the context of "plugging away". As in, these anthropomorphic animals never did much great in life, but have made it to a ripe old age by virtue of keeping to a moderate pace.

http://www.gocomics.com/pluggers

America’s first interactive, reader-participation comic -- Pluggers chronicles the hardworking people the world depends on. They represent the 80 percent of humanity who unceremoniously keep plugging along -- balancing work, play and family life.

We talked about the strip a little bit over here during the past month -- golf, amirite? ilx's comic strip voting thread is now open

Pluggers = the poor schmucks that "What's the Matter With Kansas" was written about, sort of, maybe.

I totally get a Midwestern vibe from it over anywhere else.

yeah, it's 80% of the population who are blue-collar midwestern Protestant senior citizens.

hey represent the 80 percent of humanity who unceremoniously keep plugging along

I'd like to see something to back up this 80% statistic.

But, aren't we all just unceremoniously plugging along towards inevitable death and, ultimately, total oblivion? I believe that with all of my heart and still think that whatever small contribution I'm making to humanity is enough to take me out of this 80% of mindless pluggers.

Basically I find the whole concept of "pluggers" pessimistic and I think it totally devalues the exact people that these knobs are trying to laud.

They do promote interspecies marriage, so there's that.
