The internet is great for a lot of things. From looking at endless cat pics during your coffee breaks to finding some heartwarming stories to keep your spirits up during difficult times. However, one thing that we truly love the internet for is its role in educating us while entertaining us.

Reddit user u/Accomplished-Rough36 asked their fellow r/AskReddit users to share the life hacks that they loved so much, that they integrated them into their daily routines. And the answers were eye-opening, touching on a bit of everything.

We know that we’ll be ‘borrowing’ a few of these hacks, for sure. Scroll down, upvote the responses that caught your attention the most, and let us know in the comments which of these life hacks you think are the most useful, dear Pandas. Oh, and if you’ve got any of your own daily hacks to share with us, you can do so in the comments.

Bored Panda reached out to Steven Wooding, a member of the Institute of Physics in the UK and part of the Omni Calculator Project, having helped create the Weird Units Converter.

He told us about the pros of life hacks as a way of sharing information. "I'm a fan of distilling information down to its core essential components. An idea made simple will be quickly understood by more people and then shared," he said that simplicity and brevity are very useful tools when it comes to reaching more people. "If the life hack really helps someone in their daily life, that also increases the sharing, reaching a broader audience."

People Are Sharing 35 Genius Life Hacks And You Might Be Surprised You Never Thought Of Them Saying "thank you" instead of apologizing for things that dont need apologies. I'm a chronic apologizer and it's helped a lot.

For example, if I have a bad day and vent to my husband, instead of saying "sorry for venting and bringing down the mood" I'll say "thank you for listening and being supportive."

It puts a much more appreciative and positive light on your relationships!

That is much more positive than apologizing. Like "Thank you for letting me sleep with your girlfriend"...

However, Steven suggested that people should actually verify what works and what doesn't instead of trusting advice on the internet blindly. "Absolutely always test if the life hack actually works. Ideally, it would be best to do this before getting excited about the new idea and sharing it with your friends," he told Bored Panda.

He also noted that everyone should be a bit skeptical with any new idea that they come across.

    People Are Sharing 35 Genius Life Hacks And You Might Be Surprised You Never Thought Of Them You dont have to follow the rules.

    Doing half the dishes is better than doing none. Having a clean hamper and a dirty hamper is completely acceptable. Nobody said the socks in your drawer had to be paired up, either. Focus on one thing in general and apply it to the whole house that day, like just do floors or surfaces. There's nothing wrong with your kids being bored sometimes, that's their problem. Let them figure it out, but don't limit what they're able to do. You don't have to "pick" what to have for dinner every night, we rotate through staples every week. If we get bored, we just eat what we feel like. Nothing wrong with a bowl of cereal and a sandwich for dinner, as long as everyone's fed and the rest of the day wasn't junk.

    Steven gave some tips on evaluating new info and life hacks as you become aware of them. "Can you see how it would work based on your existing knowledge? If it's in a field you know nothing about, do some basic research in that area," he said.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    "Another good option is to look for independent sources of the information (though it can be difficult as news sites tend to reflect each other). However, in the end, your best bet is to test the life hack and see if it works for you"

    People Are Sharing 35 Genius Life Hacks And You Might Be Surprised You Never Thought Of Them I stopped doing any kind of work in my dorm room at college and only did it at the libraries. Not only did I become way more productive, but I enjoyed being in my room a lot more. It’s way more comfortable (and easier) to fall asleep when you’ve taken a 15 minute walk home then when you’ve been working at your desk in the same room for 4 hours.

    People Are Sharing 35 Genius Life Hacks And You Might Be Surprised You Never Thought Of Them Posting this too late for anyone to see, but I brush my teeth as part of my daughter's bedtime routine. This keeps me from snacking late at night since my teeth already feel clean and I don't want to mess them up before bed. I've lost about 5" from my waist, and it keeps me accountable to brush my teeth before I'm too tired to care.

    Also, when you go through your bed time routine with your kids you're being the example that what they have to do is something everyone has to do. Makes it feel less unfair and more like it's bedtime for everyone.

    Previously, Bored Panda spoke about house cleaning and chore life hacks with parenting blogger Samantha Scroggin. She told us all about how to keep on top of things when you have a family and kids.

    "Keeping the house clean is a moving target in my experience. But for me personally, an at least somewhat clean house is tremendously important to my mental health," she said.

     "A tidy house helps me feel more in control of my life, and able to handle the curveballs that often come our way as busy parents,” Samantha told Bored Panda.

I noticed a while back how literally everything is better when I am well rested and I don't care if people make fun of me for sleeping 9h every night. I have never pulled an all nighter in college and when I do hikes that start really early I just go to bed for the night in the late afternoon the day before and still get my sleep. Nothing standing between me and my bed lol

    The parenting blogger said that she keeps small mental task lists every single day. "The tasks could be as simple as emptying the dishwasher or putting away a load of laundry. Maybe most importantly, I invest in a professional housekeeping service once a month," she revealed.

    "That helps keep the house in a manageable state to the point that I can keep the house from getting totally out of control in-between visits. That said, I think parenting comes with a certain degree of clutter to be expected."

    Every time I leave a room I spend less than thirty seconds tidying or doing one task. Pickup a pillow off the floor. Return a glass to the kitchen. Going to the bathroom, carry up some laundry. Literally every time I leave a room. It’s such a habit now that I don’t even think about it but I do notice that my home is always tidy.

    I also have a home for everything in my house. I literally never lose anything. You have to take a step back occasionally and think about the location of things logically. When an item is very economical to buy, I own multiples for sake of ease. Scissors in the kitchen, office and bathroom. Makes life easier and saves so much time. The flip side of that is always storing like things in one location. Batteries, no matter the type all in one location with battery chargers. I never throw them in a random drawer.

    For Samantha, a happy and warm home should have kindness as the core family value. "My house is always a little bit chaotic because we all have big personalities and are a loud and busy bunch. But I stress to my kids the importance of us being kind to one another. Kindness and love are at the root of a happy home for me, even when things get crazy and we slip up and say things we don't mean,” she said.

    If you have long hair, brush it before you get into the shower.

    It really reduces the amount of hair in the drain, and it makes it easier to shampoo and condition more thoroughly.

    People Are Sharing 35 Genius Life Hacks And You Might Be Surprised You Never Thought Of Them Drink. Water.

    It's something so simple yet so often ignored.

    Yeah, it can get annoying at times. I never really want to get up at 3:30am to piss. I don't really want to have to stop on, say, a six-hour drive because I have to pee.

    But, staying well hydrated helps me feel better, look better, rest better (yeah, there's the 3:30am piss, but that's after three hours of sleep. I didn't toss and turn for three hours before then,) etc.

    And it will help you live longer. Your organs will thank you.

    Make a list. I have severe anxiety, and I used to stress all day about all the things I need to do. Making a list gives you an easy way to keep track of your accomplishments, but more importantly, it just gets all of that out of your head. I don’t need to keep going over what I need to do today because it’s all on the board in front of me. Then I can choose the thing I feel like I can handle at the moment and keep checking things off little by little.

    I agree. Face it. Many of us had our moments when our emotions got the worst of us. Sometimes, how someone reacts back can either diffuse or escalate the situation. Pointing a camera in someone's face when they're already having a bad time, laughing, mocking, shouting back, arguing, accusing them of lying, it's just going to make things harder for everyone. Even if you have to pretend to be empathetic just to calm them down can make a huge difference.

    Thinking of different scenarios for bad drivers. If there’s a truck going 90mph on the highway and weaving through lanes without a turn signal, I just imagine that he’s on the verge of crapping his pants and that’s why he’s in a rush. I find it funny and usually improves my mood.

    People Are Sharing 35 Genius Life Hacks And You Might Be Surprised You Never Thought Of Them Glass of water in the microwave to cook food that isn't already frozen. Works really well with things like pasta that you want to reheat and not get that really bad rubberized texture. The temp of the water is also usually a good tell on how hot your food is, so you don't need to go and taste it cold.

    People Are Sharing 35 Genius Life Hacks And You Might Be Surprised You Never Thought Of Them That moment trick from Deadpool.

    I have a bad temper, not going to lie. It felt uncontrollable for a while, but it was just because I was always so quick to react.

    Like as a kid, if my brother said something that rubbed me the wrong way, the next moment, I was trying to fight my brother without even thinking.

    Now, if something pisses me off, I catch myself and think about why that thing pissed me off. 9 times out of 10, I'm just being dumb and allowing something dumb to upset me. This helps a lot if you rage in video games. Most of the time if you're raging in a game at someone on your team, you're the problem.

    People Are Sharing 35 Genius Life Hacks And You Might Be Surprised You Never Thought Of Them When I'm trying to sleep in bed at night I go over what I did that day and think of everything I did in a positive light or as if it's part of a goal I'm working towards. I've never been depressed (or at least diagnosed with it!) but this helps feeling like I've accomplished something and I can feel better about what I've done. Celebrate every little thing you did, and also it helps me fall asleep a little bit faster too.

    The "never been depressed" bit is weird. Depression is a real, serious illness. You didn't prevent depression with optimism. That's not how depression works. You were just lucky enough never to get it.

    When you leave a room, take one thing with you that belongs somewhere else.

    When I see a part of the bathroom is getting dirty/dusty, I immidiately clean it. Toilet or sink or floor whatever.

    Doing 10% of something is better than doing none. I'm not the healthiest physically or mentally, so keeping organised is hard. But if I do one thing, I consider myself productive.

    Not leaving the house in an absolute tear to get to work. Take an extra fifteen minutes to make your bed, start/empty the dishwasher, tidy the kitchen, toss all your laundry into the basket.

    This not only helps me be calm when I get home but I find myself less frazzled at work too.

    You can also store whatever disposable razor you're using blade side down in a cup with some baby oil. Keeps the blades sharp for so much longer. Also using baby oil to shave results in heavenly smooth shaved legs.

    This will probably go straight to the bottom but sometime last year or the year before there was a thread on Reddit that was something regarding "your best life hack" and on there, some kind Redditor taught me that holding down Windows-Shift-S opens up the snip-screen menu on Windows 10 for screenshotting and simple highlighting or marking up your desktop.

    I use that every single day now. I was probably very late to that party too but someone will read this and be happy they did. Paying it forward.

    My teenaged kids constantly gave me their laundry inside out with their underwear and socks still stuck to the pants, like they literally peeled them off in one piece. I’d nag and nag at them to turn their clothes right side out and they continue to leave them inside out so I decided to give them back their laundry clean but inside out. It worked.

    Lists of stuff you need to do. It doesn't matter how minor it is, put it all on there.

    Then, you have two options. Do the easiest one first, and demonstrate to yourself that you've been pointlessly putting it off. Or do the most difficult one first, so that you get it out of the way and the list becomes easier and easier to finish.

    Either way, pretty soon the focus of your activity changes from the actual tasks to "crossing things off the list". You barely even notice you're doing the tasks anymore, you just remember the pay-off you get when you cross another item off the list.

    Getting lunches ready the night before. Not necessarily packing them up, but getting all the individual parts ready. If I’m bringing leftovers, then packing a portion. Or cutting up veggies and cheese to make a little snack platter. Then in the morning I grab the things I prepped the night before, with the easy to grab things (an apple, a yogurt, maybe a muffin if I was ambitious and baked some, or a hard boiled egg if I thought enough ahead and made some) and there’s my lunch.

    Rather than figuring it out from scratch in the morning, or just buying something during my lunch break.

    Purposely rewording anything "negative" in terms of "not positive". Doesn't matter that I'm saying the word "not", I'm still suggesting "positive".

    Congratulating myself when finishing a meal, and when getting ready early in the morning. Just to reaffirm that "I can f**king do this".

    Best way to become ambidextrous: use cutlery with the other hand every time you eat. Write with the other hand. Practise cutting, drawing, sewing, any fine motor skill with the other hand. Do it every day for two months and you will be surprised how competent you will become.

    Basic meal prep, I will buy the veggies/ fruit I want to eat that week and instead of chopping them up when I need them, I just do it all at once right after I buy them (makes it easier to just grab a handful of celery or grapes if they are already ready to go). I also pack my work food the night before that way there are no excuses to not bring it to work if I'm running late.

    Fruit and vegetables lose their vitamins very quickly when the flesh is exposed to air. If you do the preprocessing thing make sure you take a daily vitamin supplement to counteract the disappearance of the natural vitamins in your food.

    Waking up early everyday. I used to not be a morning person but I found a morning radio show I liked and waking up early makes me have a productive day.

    What's the secret ? I realize that my life would be 90% stress and screaming free if I would wake up 30 minutes earlier but I can't bring myself to do it.

    Probably not even a life hack per say, but most of the comments upvoted are not life hacks either. Mine is to clean after myself, whatever I do. Cooking? Clean instantly. Spilled a drop of milk? Clean instantly. Massive s**t? Clean instantly. Washing your hands and you notice dust on the faucet? Clean instantly. It just makes life easier and you feel so much better.

    My current microwave just beeps once when it's done, and not tons afterwards. Its heaven not to have to listen to endless beeping because my husband forgot his tea

    It’s a cheap hack, but, ordering drinks with no ice - so I would get a full cup. I could drink it for 3-4 times a day, even the day after. Saves money, and a little moodbooster for me

    Not to mention how horribly nasty most ice machines get at restaurants since apparently they're a bear to clean.

    Drinking a pint of water on an empty stomach in the morning before breakfast.

    Apparently it's good for me, I dunno, I just do it and have done for years.

    my alarm clock, every morning, turns off non disturb mode on my cellphone, turns some lights and tv on, read to me the forecast for the day, a couple of reminders for the day and wishes me good morning.

    This is for the bros. When showering, wash your ass with shampoo. Your ass crack hairs will be super soft and conditioned. Women compliment me on this all the time now.

    "Mouth taping" at night led to 99.9% nose breathing during the day and it continues to blow my mind how much it has helped with sleep, allergies and brain fog.

    For me, that would be very disruptive, like self-imposed sleep apnea.

    Learning this shoelace knot. Pretty much just as simple as the simplest one most people learn but looks better, is more secure, and easier to undo when you want to.

    Ok. What is the knot? This is what happens when posts are taken from other platforms without the full context.
