“Steal One Of The Steak Knives”: 40 People Share The Most “Evil” Life Hack They Know The cops in our town like to hide at the back end of the neighborhood park to catch people who let their dogs run off leash. They could park in the front lot and let people know they’re there to deter off-leashers, but they prefer to sit where they can catch you in the act. To me this says they care more about writing tickets than they care about actually enforcing the leash law.

In order to get to the far end of the park the cops have to drive through a gate that is always left open, with the padlock just hanging there, unlocked.

When I know the cops are hiding at the far end of the park I close and lock the gate on them.

The most effective deterrent is the thought that cops MIGHT be there, so then people stop letting their dogs run off lead all the time instead of just when they see a police presence. My dog was viciously attacked by an off lead dog while we were walking and it was months and thousands of dollars in vet bills before she could run normally again.

“Steal One Of The Steak Knives”: 40 People Share The Most “Evil” Life Hack They Know My wife used to be quite indecisive so I played rock paper scissors with her and I always chose rock. After she clocked on she would choose paper or scissors depending on what she actually wanted. Helping her feel more comfortable recognising and voicing what she wants was a genuine pleasure as she struggled with this due to her parents. However this lead to her suggesting to play when she could avoid things knowing i was only going rock. Stuff like cleaning the car, going to the shop, making dinner, little things we share responsibilities for but in that moment she wanted to chill.

Well this went on for about 2 years while living with her mum, who had suddenly booked an impromptu late night flight from an airport 3 hours away she asked if we could give her a lift. My wife turned to me and said lets play for it. In a moment without thinking I went scissors, i shocked myself, her jaw dropped, her mum rushed her out the door while i ordered a pizza and played xbox for 4 hours before going to bed.

I had unintentionally created a get out of anything free card.

Not only can people be manipulated into anything, once you figure out how to tie their pride into it, they become righteous about your manipulation. This is how you get loyalist.

Let's say that there was a perverted guy manipulating a girl. He knows psychology and he's older so he can manipulate her. But he will never call her a "girl" he would call her a "woman." This ties the girl into pride and now her being off with an older man makes her feel independant and in control of her life. This seals the manipulation and she she falls to Stockholm Syndrome.

This is not exclusive to relationships. This is how loyalists are born in politics. People who never admit that their party is ever wrong. These politicans manipulate people then use ehnicity or subcultures to tie peple's pride to their cause, sealing them in an illusion.

I understand how this works. Not only did I study some psychology but as an artist, I can create works that effect people in a certain way. It works, but it's immoral so i use my knowledge of this to inform people of others using methods to control people. If anyone is tickling your ego, be alert.

Or so. Or we ... just buy stuff at places not ripping us off? So that we don't even feel any justification, let alone obligation, to steel? Because ... because, a huge corp paying minimum, or even working around that by whatever scam they're not ashamed of - should be ashamed to not be ashamed - gets people in the situation that they need to think along the lines described here in the first place.

Here's my life hack list, in roughly decreasing order of ethicality for finding free books & scientific articles to read: *Your local library! Open access stuff [about as ethical as local library] *Public domain books (basically equally ethical as OA) *Libby/JSTOR *Personal websites of authors *Internet Archive/Open Library *SciHub and other scientific paper piracy sites[1] *Various PDF/etc download sites, LibGen, Annas Archive [gigantic drop] [like at this point you're evil] *Stealing treasured children's book from poor children/genealogies with like one copy in existence chronicling deceased relatives or other family heirlooms [1] See scientists and peer reviewers who do the work typically don't get paid, journal prices/profits are outrageous and the major benefit - a citation - can be given without buying it.

I'll admit to the one mildly scam-like thing I've done. At arcades, you can get a bunch of tickets from whack-a-mole if you have multiple people join you and use their hands. Similarly down the clown gets more tickets with multiple people. It's definitely not illegal and you still loose money on the prizes but it does work.

If most of these are Americans I can guess they are GOP voters. (sorry to bring politics into it but it makes sense)

Most of these are outright theft and the others are just ignorant.

Many of these posts need to be deleted. This is not a list of life hacks. This is a list of criminal activities.

I guess I don't know what I expected. I suppose "evil life hacks" would encompass just flat out crime.

After reading this trash it just reaffirms that most humans are arseholes! I hope karma catches up with them all

Most are just jokes, but even if they weren't, it's super selective by definition. It's like reading r/czech and coming away from it with the conclusion that most humans speak Czech...
