‘Here’s Something I Didn’t Know Until I Was In My 30s’: Guy Is Sharing 27 Useful Tips People Wish They Had Known Sooner
Just think of how much easier this whole life would have been if you knew some things earlier. Like, mastering the art of tackling zip lock bags, organizing your sheets, relieving heartburn, calming an iPhone alarm, the list is endless.
But TikToker Sidneyraz has set out on a mission to get our lives back by sharing some very relatable, super simple, low-key and sometimes plain hilarious know-how tips for everyday life. In a series of viral videos, Sidneyraz tells the viewers ‘something I didn’t know until I was in my 30s’ and enacts the things in funny home scenarios.
With a whopping 842.2K followers and some videos racking up more than 5M views, you can see that this guy has definitely hit our soft spot: FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) on even more years wasted without knowing such obvious, yet game-changing things.

Not everything goes downhill as we age. Well, surely our close friends circle becomes smaller, hangovers get worse and more responsibilities fall on our shoulders. But a new body of research has shown that some of our brain abilities improve as we age.
For example, a 2011 study looking at data from more than 60,000 people found that our ability to recognize faces continued to improve as we age—until just after we hit age 30. "At almost any given age, most of us are getting better at some things and worse at others," lead study author and MIT department of brain and cognitive sciences researcher Joshua Hartshorne commented to Business Insider.

Another more recent study found that some of our abilities, like reading others' emotions and recalling events that have just happened, to name a few, keep improving until we turn 30. Incredibly, skills like basic math and a larger vocabulary rise throughout our lives and reach their peak around when we turn 50.

Does that mean that we get smarter with age? Well, it depends what we define as ‘smart,’ but some of our cognitive abilities do indeed improve as we age. However, some will deteriorate, like our ability to quickly process and recall information (also known as fluid intelligence), which peaks at about the age of 18. After its peak, those abilities continually fall over the rest of our lives.
But that doesn’t mean it’s bad news for us. There is another study suggesting that having a greater purpose in life can help protect against cognitive decline among older adults. In fact, greater purpose in life has been linked to reduced all-cause mortality and cardiovascular problems, increased longevity, maintenance of general physical functioning, reduced risk of stroke and reduced incidence of sleep disturbances.

The Drawer At The Bottom Of Your Over Is Not For Storing Pans, It's A Broiler

100% NOT a broiler on any oven I've ever had. It doesn't even warm up enough to be a warmer.

Even then, I've had gas stoves with fire broiler in the top part of the oven. I had never seen a stover ever with the broiler in the drawer until I moved into a really old apt. I found out the hard way when I needed a pan under my pizza stone that was getting blasted by 500 degrees of broiler, it blew apart into 3 pieces 😭

No it isn't! It's a drawer! It's a wooden ****ing drawer. It is literally for putting my pans in. The last time I used an oven like that has to be nearly 30 years ago! And no it was just a warming draw - a luke-warming draw you might say - you couldn't cook anything in it.

The one we had in our home while I was growing up was a gas stove in that Ugly olive green, it was only a broiler, no way it could be used as a drawer. When we replaced that one, the new one had the warming drawer. The one in my current home is only a drawer. So it has to depend on the stove.

Sometimes it looked like he was just milking basic stuff for filler, like the wooden spoon to stop overflow, but some of this was good info! My husband and I weren't homeowners until fifteen years ago. Still on our first home, we're learning there is a lot of stuff we should have learned about and been don't all along and we are trying to catch up now. This week we're repairing our washer. It's been way out of balance and, once taken apart, we found a lot of wet lint deep in it. I think it will be fine now that it's cleaned, but we had no idea that there is a filter to be cleaned. I recently started treating our cabinets with beeswax, such a difference. We obviously should have been doing it all along, but had no idea. The travel pillow on front?

Almost everyone here has slammed this, or judged it negatively... Why? The guy is just showing others some of the things he's learned in life that come in handy for him, and he's sharing some of his helpful hints to others who may not have anyone else to teach them things. I'm a lot older than a lot of you and I've never seen tongs used to juice a lemon before, so I don't have a juicer, and I'm going to try it! Sounds like a good idea. And the salt in the hot oil of a skillet is a helpful tip, too. Why knock every single tip with such ugly, negative & 'judgy' remarks? His home looks very clean, I didn't see "up his nostrils" and I think he presented a few helpful tips for folks who'd like to learn something new to help them navigate thru some of lifes mundane chores. Old adage that applies here; If you've got nothing nice to say, then don't say anything at all.

Next we’ll be seeing a useful tips I didn’t know until I was a grown ass adult article about “you see these funny loops around the waist band of your trousers? They can be used to thread a belt through and will prevent your trousers from falling down“ or “shoelaces can be used to tighten your shoes so they don’t fall off” and all the kids on TikTok will be like 0.O !

Many young people don't learn to fend for themselves because they aren't interested in learning... and many parents allow their children to be like this by enabling their "learned helplessness". Most soon learn on their own as the need arises, though.

Most of this content probably helped a lot of people. I didn't really gain from it(besides the instant pot), but people I know can.

This "man child" discovers things after he sees a TikTok on it. Sad, really. He seems genuinely uninterested in everything.

Sometimes it looked like he was just milking basic stuff for filler, like the wooden spoon to stop overflow, but some of this was good info! My husband and I weren't homeowners until fifteen years ago. Still on our first home, we're learning there is a lot of stuff we should have learned about and been don't all along and we are trying to catch up now. This week we're repairing our washer. It's been way out of balance and, once taken apart, we found a lot of wet lint deep in it. I think it will be fine now that it's cleaned, but we had no idea that there is a filter to be cleaned. I recently started treating our cabinets with beeswax, such a difference. We obviously should have been doing it all along, but had no idea. The travel pillow on front? I didn't fly regularly until my thirties. It was a few summers of flying home before I realized that one.

It's a good thing he's pretty, because he's hardly the brightest bulb in the box, is he? Poor dear.

These are either known to mankind for Decades or absolutely insane rubbish. The TikTok lot are bloody bonkers. A 'grown man' mansplaining and getting much of it wrong or having only just discovered these. Bless his very public ignorance 🤣

Almost everyone here has slammed this, or judged it negatively... Why? The guy is just showing others some of the things he's learned in life that come in handy for him, and he's sharing some of his helpful hints to others who may not have anyone else to teach them things. I'm a lot older than a lot of you and I've never seen tongs used to juice a lemon before, so I don't have a juicer, and I'm going to try it! Sounds like a good idea. And the salt in the hot oil of a skillet is a helpful tip, too. Why knock every single tip with such ugly, negative & 'judgy' remarks? His home looks very clean, I didn't see "up his nostrils" and I think he presented a few helpful tips for folks who'd like to learn something new to help them navigate thru some of lifes mundane chores. Old adage that applies here; If you've got nothing nice to say, then don't say anything at all.

We are free to comment. Either nice or harsh. I and more else, won't see stupid and obvious things like that. And.. We are here for a reason. If we want to see tiktok, we go on tiktok.. Not here.

This was by far one of the more lame posts. It also reflects manyof your past posts, just repackaged with a different title and different model.

Most of these are obvious things. If he's just figuring this stuff out now....sheesh.
