"I'm a professional actor [and] I've studied hard for a long time to become one," he writes on his socials. "I used to work at a theater, played Holden Caulfield in 'The Catcher in the Rye' [as well as] Romeo in Shakespeare's 'Romeo and Juliet.' I've even had some parts in movies."
Continue scrolling to check out some of the life hacks he tackled in his spare time.

Alternative method - those little dials on the front of your stove can actually be used to turn down the heat. Works like a charm.

Doesn't always coincide with the cooking requirements, though, and one cannot guarantee against foaming starting while unattended, but this spoon trick is obviously excellent insurance. Merely accepting the usefulness also saves on wasting snark that could be used elsewhere.

I dont understand why...But but this has never worked for me. Ive tried it with both plastic and wooden spoons, but still...

I actually knew this from childhood. My mother taught me and her mother taught her. Not necessarily a life hack, just old fashioned knowledge.

But if you're really busy and you're afraid you won't turn it down as soon as it boils, this is a good idea. Also, I have some bamboo spoons that I put in soup that I am reheating in the microwave. It never boils over.

I have tried this several times and I just end up with a mess. So I now prefer the turn the heat down method.

A lot of these are useless without captions, and most of them aren't hacks.

These so-called "hacks" are dubious at best, and a few of them are downright dangerous. Some basic common sense will serve you better than all of them combined.

Sigh... Was this really needed to be posted? I want my minute of life back.

I saw nothing brilliant in any of this guy’s content. I mean, most things aren’t “hacks”. And those that may have qualified under someone’s definition, or poor examples, or lazily explained. Sorry guys.

What do you call that kind of tie? I like wearing an ascot, but I might try this type one day. Maybe a good hack would be to turn a red tube sock into a tie.

I feel like 64% of this weren't really hacks. Mainly common sense, too much work, or tidbits of information that will never be used by anyone ever except maybe once in the history of the earth.
