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.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    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.

    That depends on the oven, this is an old gas range that's built to broil like this. My gas oven has a top broiling element inside the oven -- the storage drawer at the bottom is just a storage drawer, it doesn't broil and it doesn't act as a warmer.

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 😭

    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.

    Not in all stoves. Mine is supposed to be a warming drawer but I still use it for pans.

    That is only true of gas stoves with gas ovens. The broiler is intregal to the oven of an electric store, ergo the drawer is for storage.

    That is ONLY on gas ovens.....electric ones have the drawers which are supposedly for keeping food warm, if you are using the oven mind you, but I do use it as strorage as most people do.

    Uh, no. Many of them are just drawers. My broiler element is on the top of the oven. You can tell it's the broiler if the front flips down, like in the photo.

    It's only a broiler for gas stoves. Electric stoves have that drawer, but it's actually for keeping cooked food warm.

    Our bottom drawer is a warming oven, to keep dishes warm until serving. But most of the time it's the storage drawer for the cast iron fry pans.

    Not in electric ones......only the gas ones. In the electric stoves the drawer, instead of a storage spaces most people use as, are meant to use to keep cooked food warm until served.

    Depends on whether it's electric or gas. Electric stoves don't have a broiler drawer, it's a warming drawer.

    thats why it is called a warming drawer, to warm plates not to cook in. usually full of spiders anyway.

    It's not a broiler, as there is no element above it. It is a warming tray.

    It is too for storing pans when you don't use your broiler. Besides, YOU have a mini toaster oven/broiler on top of your microwave sparky, so whatcha trying to prove?

    IF IT HAS a broiler at the bottom. Lots of stoves don't, many stoves have the broiler in the roof of the oven part. .

    it is not a broiler in every oven, that's an older oven. It is a warming drawer on most ovens, not a broiler.

    Actually, it's meant as a warmer. Take the food out of the oven put down there to keep warm. Or, you know, just eat it.

    It's for storage. Absolutely no where in any oven users manual does it say that drawer, which is not insulated nor does heat get into it, is for cooking or for keeping warm.

    Why down? I would need a big plate and it wouldn't lay flat with the lip of the plate. Upright, I can shred right into a smaller serving bowl with no extra step.

    Tin foil has a shiny and dull side because of how it's manufactured. It's so thin, they put two sheets through the rollers at once. They've said they see no difference in which way you use it
