We’re only human, right? Sometimes life gets a little hard and we need to find ways to make it easier on ourselves. Most people love a good shortcut or hack — that is, until that hack makes the problem even worse than it was before.
Here are a bunch of life hacks that will not help you. If anything, they were only worsen your situation… But they are hilarious.
1. Make your ear buds wireless
It’s really simple. All you have to do is cut off the wires — just kidding. That won’t work, now will it?
2. Moonwalk away from uncomfortable situations
Or don’t… It won’t make it any less awkward. Everyone knows what you’re doing.
3. Save time by doing this
Not enough time to get ready in the morning? Catch those extra Z’s and just speed up your routine by combining your breakfast and brushing your teeth. Toothpaste on toast! Just kidding, don’t — it would be very bad to eat toothpaste.
4. Plant some hot dog seeds
They will turn out tasting just like hot dogs… Or not.
5. Make a handle in your red solo cup
Do it just by ripping off a strip. Be aware of any leaking liquid, though.
6. Make sure no one asks for your help
By constantly carrying some puppies in your hand. How can you help anyone when you’re carrying a whole handful of puppies?
7. Stir coconut oil into your spinach
And then immediately throw it in the trash.
Put on some sunglasses. Now you are having a bad night.
No problem! Fill up a rubber glove with warm water and then hold it. Pretend it is a real hand.
10. Want to get rid of wrinkles?
That is easy! Forget a skin serum or moisturizer, just get bitten by a rattlesnake.
Just press the “diet coke” button on your cup’s lid. Now it’s diet!
12. Another tip if you’re lonely
Instead of seeking out a friend, just cut your toast into the shape of a hand. It’s like holding someone’s hand.
13. Save money on medication
Just eat random pills you find throughout the day… Should be
fiiiiiine.
Just use toothpaste instead. Its swirly pattern is just as good as an $80 job.
15. Use a fine detail brush to paint your house
It will take years to finish, but you will save so much paint!

17. Make your cold magical
Just stuff a handful of glitter in your mouth right before you sneeze. It’s a party.
18. Get a bigger phone screen
All you have to do is dunk it in a glass of water. (It might ruin your phone though.)

Just take a picture of the sun and pull it up on your phone…
This sounds like a good idea but it’s actually not… It won’t be nearly as bright as a legitimate flashlight.
Don’t even worry about it being in its to-go cup. Just put it on the stovetop as is… If you want to start a fire. That’s actually a huge safety hazard!
