I find all of the best `life hacks' are schemas for making decisions, which are often hard to take for valid, or have been drilled into you for so long that you're become inoculated against them - eg. `Working hard yields proportional rewards.' It sounds really silly and cliche and said-to-death, but you would be amazed at how many people downplay it and attribute their situation to uncontrollable factors.

>> No.9368643

2) Shit on the floor and piss in bottles to reduce stress of having to go all the way to the bathroom.

3) Use your piss as an in-room shower when you are feeling dirty or sweaty.

4) Use your shit as fertilizer and grow flowers so that their smell cover up the possible stench you might have from all the piss and shit.

>> No.9368639

If you live in a rather busy area, there is never a need to buy food. You can go through bins behind bagel shops and bakeries and grocery stores and such to get free food. Bakeries will often bake fresh every day so anything left at the end gets thrown out, even though it is still perfectly edible. While grocery stores will often throw out stuff just because the packaging got a little damaged, or something spilled on it, or it reached the use-by date but is still safe to consume.

I have not actually bought food for a year and a half now. I pay my rent and utility bills with my spergdosh. It's a very good system.

Put grocery store bagged ice in the non-freezer part of your fridge. The ice will melt, absorbing heat that would otherwise have had to have been pumped out the back of the fridge creating more heat in the process. Cost: about 4 bucks.

There's a goodwill clearance center near here (do they have those everywhere? I dunno, probably) where you can go and they bring out the stuff that failed to sell at Goodwill in big bins, and sell it by weight. I've seen plenty of people that spend literally all day there picking out nice finds and selling them on ebay. I probably wouldn't be that dedicated (might as well just get a fucking job at that point) but spending a little bit of time in such a place from time to time picking through junk and finding stuff that might sell could be a good way for some people to make a few extra bucks.

Goodwill is a great place to find beige keyboards that idiots will buy up for $30~$100 a piece.

$30 is pretty much guaranteed, add in $10 for shipping, $5 for fees, and you'll have a $15 profit. And thats the minimum. I know people who are earning 1k a month just from selling old keyboards just from the recent boom.

>>9376288
Hah, no. When I was in HS I only had $800 in my possession and knew that I either have to work to get more money or do something.

I'd say $500 is enough. To get everything rolling. Realistically if I was given a challenge I can do it off $300 and earn at least $100 by the end of the month.

I can't say what I sell but I can say that I sell big ticket items so I only have to ship things a few times a week (Or have the mail man pick it up, you don't even have to leave your house).

Thing is, I don't know what I would sell. I could look at things that sell for a lot, but then I'd have to know how to get them. It's not as easy as my video games where I can go to the nearby ruins and just find valuable stuff.

And then minor things. I have to package the stuff, do I get boxes at the post office? Do they cost money and how much?

And another worry is shipping the stuff. What if I fuck up and don't ship it right? I'm just too anxious about all the little things.

Yes, definitely. Moreso for issues relating to the sink smelling, as you only need to piss in it a couple of times for it to stink, whereas to block it you'd need to do it fairly regularly. My father worked as a plumber and he used to tell me how common it is in student accomodation - specifically, shared dorms where there is a sink in every room, but only one bathroom to share. Students were too lazy to use the loo, apparently.

He told me that even if it had been pissed in only a couple of times, it was very easy to tell you had by the discolouration of the piping, the smell (the more you do it, the stronger the smell, in theory) and the build-up of bacteria.

>>9376329
It does. What do you think the urinal cakes (or 'Urinal deodorizer blocks') are there for? Even limescale in normal water can erode piping. I think toilets use filters to collect / break down any solids in their piping. They're now making a lot of waterless urinals, I don't fully understand everything but there's more here:

Okay, "fauxtographers"
The kind that buy stuff so they can show it off and display, but never really use it. If I find a nice camera or lens, I prefer to keep it for my use. The kind that are just neat to have, you're better off selling. Although to be honest, you'd make more money selling the good equipment. But I like photography too.

Photographers are genuinely stupid.

You can sell the following items and make money quick:

1. Apple products
2. Camera equipment
3. Audio equipment

And Leica, don't forget Leica.

I mean, they make nice lenses and cameras, but the price is just ridiculous especially for what you get. And even though I know they're stupid and greedy and I hate them, I still want that Monochrom.

How is it possible to live on so little? The way I work it out, it always ends up at $10 a day, with an extravagant 3 meals a day.

Can I solicit untested advice?

Eat to get fat, it's not like you're a pinnacle of health and it gives you some headway to not eat for a couple days.

Go to golden corral and you can easily consume 4000+ calories for reasonably cheap

To the guy who thinks pissing in the sink is bad:

I pissed in the sink at my parent's place probably twice a day for 5+ years, it never got clogged.
Just make sure to send some water down after it.

Urine is sterile, so it hasn't got any bacteria at the time it comes out of your bladder. I'm not quite sure if it is a suitable place for bacteria to grow, but it goes through the sewers fast enough so I don't think it matters anyway. And uric acid salts are only present in non-residual amounts on people that are dehydrated, and even so they aren't supposed to be really big. But then again, I'm no plumber, so whatever.

Well I try to sleep as much as I can. Usually upwards of 12 hours. I guess it might save me money. Not sure if it qualifies as a lifehack though.

If you try to commit suicide a couple of times then you'll probably get enough sympathy to last you a life time. Sympathy brings nice things but also brings bad things like people pitying you all the time and never giving you responsibilities, but who needs those as a NEET? I've got my Mom convinced that buying me weed from her friend at work helps cull my suicidal urges and helps my depression. I can get high all the time and play my video games and watch my Japanese shows. It's fantastic.
