Mental Floss (01) ---Some Daily life hack You Should Know

Hey guys, good to be here again. I had some free tie to myself today, so I took a brisk walk around the internet just looking for new and exciting contents to read. And then I came across an idea on Quora about some useful life hacks we could apply to some of our daily activities almost cost-free. I've listed 10 of them below, I hope you enjoy.

1. Texted the wrong person? not to worry, simply put your phone on the airplane mode to lock out the connectivity. Messages take a few seconds to deliver and would fail. You can then switch it back on and delete the message.

2. Traveling by air? or maybe it's a loved one and you're wondering where they might have reached at the moment. Simply type the flight number on Google search to see the flight location almost in real-time.

3. Don't we all just hate those annoying Youtube ads at the beginning of almost every video we click? To skip a Youtube ad, simply edit the URL address of any video by annexing ‘youtube' to ‘youtubeskip'.

4. Lacking ideas on what to do with the stuff you have in your fridge? Not to worry, we have the perfect combination on the internet, readily available. On myfridgefood.com, anyone can type in whatever they have in the fridge and watch great cooking ideas come by. Basically, the website will tell you everything you can make with those items. No boring meals, not today.

5. I've tried this a couple of times and it works magic. So you find yourself in a party you didn't prepare for and everyone's getting the booze without you? We've found the perfect phrase to get you a bottle for free, every time: “I've never been drunk."

6. Sometimes, we get so hungry on the go and we're left with just enough cash for food but not enough to transport us home, so we're stuck between eating and then trekking home, or doing quite the opposite. You could kill 2 birds with one stone by walking into a local pizza shop to order a delivery and then get a ride home with the driver. Simpleton!

7. It's sanitation day in the kitchen and you're looking to clean your microwave oven only to discover that some food particles have gotten stuck in hard-to-reach-places and just cannot seem to come off. By simply placing a bowl of water and heating for a while, the vapour given off causes the adhesive bonds between the food particles and the inner surface of the microwave to loosen up, making them easier to come off.

8. A simple rule of thumb to keeping the dustbin area of your home clean and free from sticky gooey stuff is to place some pages of an old newspaper at the bottom of the dustbin to absorb food juices. Just in case.

9. When someone recites a phone number to you and you're suspecting it just might be the wrong one, You could read it back to them incorrectly on purpose. If they correct it, then chances are you were given the correct number after all.

10. Over time, the keyboards of ou PC collect dust particles and appear not so attractive anymore. By simply running a tape or sticky notes in between the keys, and then cleaning slowly with a damp rag, your keyboard becomes good as new again.
