Top 12 Life Hacks Anybody Can Use (Part 1)

Some life hacks are – excuse the pun – a total hack job. These 12 life hacks anybody can use are just the opposite. Here, we present our list of the top 12 life hacks anybody can use. Check out part one below, and stay tuned for part two, coming soon!

Number Twelve: Get Rid of Scratches on Wooden Surfaces With Walnuts. If you obtain some nasty scratches on a wooden surface – like a nice dining table, for instance – just rub your nuts on them! Crude jokes aside, rubbing walnuts on scratches on wooden surfaces will help disguise them and get rid of them.

Number Eleven: Use Airplane Mode to Go Ad-Free. Instead of suffering through those annoying advertisements while you play that super important game on your phone, just turn on Airplane mode! Those ads won’t be able to play anymore.

Number Ten: Use Your Phone and a Glass for Makeshift Speakers. If you’re dying to listen to your tunes in the shower but don’t have any speakers, just drop your phone in an (empty) glass to amplify the sound. Then turn on Pandora (or Spotify, or whatever) and shower away!

Number Nine: Use Foil to Make AAA Batteries More Versatile. If you need AA batteries but only have AAA batteries, just add some foil to the AAA batteries to make them big enough for whatever you’re trying to put them in. The foil acts as a conductor and a size enhancer.

Number Eight: Use a Warm Spoon to Scoop Perfectly. If you’re sick of building up your bicep muscles while scooping freezer-cold ice cream, just run a spoon under hot water! Instead of ruining the ice cream by microwaving it, the hot spoon will scoop your ice cream to your heart’s desire.

Number Seven: Get Rid of CD Scratches With Bananas. If you have a CD or DVD that has too many scratches on it, just rub the inside of a banana peel on the disc to fill them in! Remember to wipe off the excess bits before throwing it in your DVD player, though. Stay tuned for part two of our list of the top 12 life hacks anybody can use, coming soon!
