30 Unbelievable ‘Life Hacks’ People Swear By

It’s a tale as old as time: You wake up to realize that you not only found

Over the next 20 minutes, you tear apart your entire house, scouring every nook and cranny around your home, ultimately realizing that your keys had fallen to the bottom of your work bag. You head to your car and let out a sigh, knowing that despite your best efforts and Apple’s faulty software, you’ll be late after all. 

We’ve all been there, but thanks to one Redditor’s advice, we’re not forever condemned to playing these high-stakes games of hide-and-seek. “Spend an hour finding something in your house? When you are done with it, put it in the first place you looked,” they reasoned in a now-viral post.

This isn’t the only life hack that Redditors swear by. Other such tips and tricks include how to banish mosquito bites, why you should talk to yourself and the correct way to eat flavored chips.
