Life hacks are great, aren’t they? Simple tricks designed to make your life that little bit easier. These ones aren’t like that at all though. This is instead, a collection of hilariously daft, sometimes dangerous, often interesting “hacks” that people have used to deal with problems.
We’d recommend not trying these at home.
Forget dent repair
Accidentally crashed your car or had someone ding it? Not got the money for expensive paintwork repairs or dent removal?
Worry not, simply pop a comedy sticker over the top. Now it’s a feature rather than a problem.
DIY air coniditioning
Air conditioning in your car broken? Or just driving an older model that doesn’t have AC? Why not simply install a full-blown system usually intended for buildings. Perfectly safe and secure surely?
Bike controller
Need a new handlebar for your bike? Why not jazz your life up a bit by using a video game controller instead. Turn every ride into a gaming experience.
Of course, you might also be living life a bit more dangerously without the brakes, but at least riding will be more thrilling.
Room smelly a bit funky? Fancy some fresh air but don’t like opening windows? Why not strap some car air fresheners to a fan and blow some scent around your room.
Wipers are expensive
New wipers are expensive, why not simply reuse household objects instead?
Surely an old oven glove is just as capable of keeping your window clear and it’s more absorbent too.
DIY lights
When your kids grow out of their toys, don’t just throw them away. They could be repurposed into other things.
This doll’s head, for example, makes a perfect nightlight.
Make eggs delicious
If you’re trying to get fit and gain muscle, eggs are a great addition to your diet. But if you don’t like the taste, you may always try adding cocoa powder, butter and flour, then baking it all for 30 mins to create something tastier.
Make shift whisk
Not a fan of whisking by hand? Don’t have access to an electric whisk for your baking? No problem, just use a drill instead. Perfectly safe, nothing could possibly go wrong.
Printed headlight
This person has lost the headlight in their car, presumably due to an accident judging by the state of the front end.
Rather than getting a replacement, they’ve simply printed out a picture of one. We’re not sure this is road legal, but at least it’s visually passable.
Makeshift showerhead
If your shower head is clogged up with limescale and just not flowing nicely anymore, why not just poke some holes in a soda bottle and use that instead. Perfectly good waterflow.
