Maddox - Things you're doing wrong every day: everything - General

[video=youtube;KlA_YXDm9bg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlA_YXDm9bg[/video] I don't agree with everything he says (some life hacks are useful in my opinion), but overall I think he hit the nail on the head. Also, who the fuck thought making a TedTalk about shaking your hands to dry them was a good idea?

I agree with Maddox, the chinese thing is the only thing I'm like eh, but he raises so many good points about how dumb life hacks have gotten. Also as for Ted Talks, I completely agree, they've become dumby feel good things for people with too much money and who want to just feel good about stupid shit

The only thing I disagree with is the banana one, I use the end away from the stem because if you open it from the stem the banana gets stuck to the peel, if you open it from the other end it just pops out. I didn't learn it from any fucking monkeys though, I figured that shit out on my own when I was 4.

I love his "fuck you and fuck you aswell" attitude.

I didn't know Maddox actually still did stuff, thought he'd faded into obscurity ages ago

I agree with maddox, holy shit that apple one is just so retarded He's right, though, cupcakes suck Muffins are better

The only one of these I disagree with is bananas Bananas are way easier to eat peeling from the bottom

The ones I disagree with bananas and the chinese food. 1) not all bananas break at the stem and it will just make you want to kill someone. 2) It saves a plate and I've used the container method for like the last 5 chinese food dinners.

eating apples the way most people do wastes 30% of the apple so eat it differently alternatively, eat my dick. If I want the whole apple, i eat around the core and put the core in my mouth after. There's a lifehack for you.

Only the banana one actually makes sense, the rest are dumb.

I thought the shake hand thing was directed towards public bathrooms. Sometimes the amount of paper some people take to dry their hands is insane and they don't even use 10% of it.

I don't even understand how eating the core saves you money you don't pay less money for apples when you eat the whole fucking thing, and nobody eats an apple, and then goes "That wasn't enough, I'm gonna eat another apple"

I like to dip my burger instead of slapping dip up on top of it as for the frys why even use a container. I have to agree with apple and cupcake point.

I'm still shocked that there was a Ted talk on how to dry your hands properly.

The bottle one is only true with soda, you can freeze alcohol like that, I do it all the time.

... If you can't get a banana to break from the stem, you're doing it wrong - use your thumb's nail to apply pressure.

[QUOTE=CapsAdmin;45196157]I thought the shake hand thing was directed towards public bathrooms. Sometimes the amount of paper some people take to dry their hands is insane and they don't even use 10% of it.[/QUOTE] there's a guy somewhere in my office who'll use up a ridiculous amount of toilet paper to line the toilet seat, then spends an hour in there (you never see who it is because they never enter or leave with other people around it seems), then leaves the goddamn paper all over the place for the janitor to clean up at night. I want to leave him a note to explain he can probably let his butt touch the seat because he's the only person who ever uses that stall anyways. For a germaphobe he sure doesn't mind leaving his buttpaper for others to touch

"Lifehacks" are designed for the imaginary people who live in infomercial commercials that can't handle simple tasks. :v: [img]http://i.imgur.com/c9Ups.gif[/img]

[QUOTE=Reagy;45196127]Only the banana one actually makes sense, the rest are dumb.[/QUOTE] How does the banana one make sense? How can you easily peel it from the bottom? The stem part at the top gives you leverage to peel it back. Doing it from the bottom looks like it would require a knife.

I've honestly always found it to be more annoying to peel a banana from the bottom than the top. The top has a nice handle with which it is easy to peel from if you don't suck at bananas.

I agree with most of his points, but I kind of like cupcakes. I don't eat them like a goddamn sandwich though. that's stupid.

[QUOTE=Reagy;45196544]Pinch the bottom, it splits it then you just peel... no breaking the stem or crushing the banana by trying to open it via the stem.[/QUOTE] And most of the time if you pinch it you can peel it in half. Two halves, not 3 big ones and a small slice or anything like that. I find it much easier to deal with, but honestly if people want to peel it from the stem because it's easier for them then go for it. It's not like everyone has to peel it one way or the other.

i loathe the term 'life-hack'

[QUOTE=xxfalconxx;45196605]I agree with most of his points, but I kind of like cupcakes. I don't eat them like a goddamn sandwich though. that's stupid.[/QUOTE] I think that's more of a personal preference thing than a "life hack" anyway

apple seeds also contain arsenic. however you need to eat like a cup of seeds to get a fatal dose, which is many apples.

Never seen him smile before. [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/eBpqUmv.png[/IMG] [editline]24th June 2014[/editline] Who would have thought Maddox was a depressed and tired middle eastern looking guy and not a pirate with an eye patch.

I like his opinion on cheese pizza the most
