25 Ways ASIANS Can Improve Life NOW (From Reddit)

What are some simple life hacks around the house that are so effective and easy that you're shocked more people don't use them

Yeah. I mean, these memes have been going viral for years. Some people have tested them

A lot of the things don't work. Some of them do work. Buzzfeed Andrew built an entire multimillion dollar corporation off this type of content

But this viral list on Reddit recently went around the globe. And a lot of people are saying that these things actually are effective

Wow. and a lot of these comments got upvoted, so we're going to go through them

Let us know which one of these you will actually be using. I know that we don't do all of these things

but maybe we'll be doing some of them now. Number one, courtesy

It's amazing how simple interactions can change with pleas and thank you properly applied

They're also usually free. A lot of people were talking about how common niceties and courtesies

from the 1960s and 70s have evaporated. So when you still maintain those type of that vibe

you can get more. Yeah, I do notice that when I say thank you out loud or I like let someone go in front of me or something

especially if it's an older person, sometimes they're like shocked. They're like, oh, you younger generation people are still thinking about this stuff

Wow. Well, thank you. Well, yeah. I mean, if you go to Japan, you go to Taiwan, you go to some places around Asia

there is a lot more courtesy typically involved, right? Especially around older people

point number two Leave the cat carrier out and open all the time

That's the way they don't panic When you go to the vet So basically a lot of people are saying

That cats, they start to panic When they get put in the carrier

Because the cats know they got to go to the vet And go through pain So if you leave the bearer

Out all the time The cat kind of gets used to it

And doesn't freak out So basically this is just basic pattern recognition

From the animal similar to a child Point number three, Andrew this person's saying fill your kitchen sink up completely with water, pull the plug, let the water pressure clear your pipes

But a lot of other people said pour boiling water down to cut the grease because inevitably, even though you're not supposed to pour grease down your kitchen sink, a lot of people accidentally do

Yeah, I mean, I think there's a lot of grease and soups and stuff and really anything off your pans and stuff like that

So, yeah, I mean, I heard that like you don't want to pour too much boiling water down your pipes constantly

in case the water gets stuck and then it can damage like the plastic pipes that eventually you pass through

But anyways, yeah, I would say this kind of makes sense. I'm going to boiling water, honestly, because I don't want to waste all the water to fill up the sink

Point number four, write down momentarily good ideas. Don't lean on your memory

There's an ancient saying the faintest ink is better than the sharpest memory

But what if you don't have a pen and pad? I mean, what, put it in your phone note or something like that

I mean, depending on what OS you're using, there's a lot of like notepad software is like built in

or you could get the add-ons. Like it just depends. Voice notes

That's a popular new thing. Point number five, people throw out their shower heads because the stream gets weak

but you just soak it in vinegar for 24 hours and then you'll have a powerful shower head again

Yo, I need to do this right now because I'm pretty sure I got calcium buildup in my shower head in my bathroom

Yeah. Well, we got vinegar. But then if you can't remove your shower head, you need to fill it up with a bag and then tie the bag into the head

Oh, that's a good point. It's a little more difficult. Point number six, to increase your peace of mind, don't waste your time arguing with random strangers on the internet

I actually used to do this during the pandemic. Yeah, I kind of have like a maybe like an unsaid rule to myself

Like once it gets past like one or two replies, I'm done. Like I'm done

I will reply to one person who replies to my post. post my comment, but then after that, I'm just like, you know what

If you think you take this W because I don respond I don care I actually done putting my energy If it somebody high profile I more likely to engage in a back and forth But yeah if somebody got like a private account or like two one of followers

Zero followers. Don't even work to, do not argue with people who have zero followers

Literally zero posts and zero followers, do not argue with those people

They are not real. A hawk does not concern himself with the opinions of a crow

Point number seven, before cleaning the inside of a micro, wave, heat up a cup of water for several minutes

The steam and condensation generated makes the microwaves inside super easy to clean

I don't even think about that. Do it. Point number eight, if you can't find the answer by Googling it, add the word Reddit at the end

That's really funny. I actually think, you know, there are a lot of smart people on Reddit

I think that when it comes to information, there are a lot of people with degrees and a lot of nerdy people on Reddit and Quora

So sometimes you will get fairly balanced. answers, especially the scientific people on these sides, not the, you know, extreme opinion side

Depends which sub forums. But when it comes to the actual knowledge, there's a lot of people with degrees who

have studied this stuff. What do you think about those versus a chat GPT or co-pilot or AI different things too

It depends. It depends. We got to see how the versions get better. Right now I like Reddit better

Point number nine, if you are the forgetful type of person, put it in a bag and hang it on

your doorknob, that way there's no way you will forget it. because if you leave it on your kitchen counter or side table, chances are if you're that type of person

you will forget it and leave the house without it. Yeah. You got to put it in some place that you almost have to move it in order to get through

Yes. Point number 10. Instead of flipping people off while driving, give them a thumbs down

Flipping them off makes them feel angry and defensive. A thumbs down makes them feel stupid

Ooh, that's a good one. I like it. It doesn't like make them want to fight you as much, but you're just like

Bad move. But you can't, you can't point out. I'm going to be like, no, no, no

I think don't do a threatening, but sometimes, you know, you just shake your head

That's a good one too, just being like, I'm so disappointed in you

Wack. Investing for your retirement. Put money in every month. Even a meager amount into an index fund or two, preferably in a tax advantage account

Ignore what the market does, just regularly add to it. And, yeah, basically, this is the best stock investment

vice andrew for your average person, right? Yeah. Because usually people are going to make the wrong reads

They're going to overreact. They're going to underreact. They're going to let the whales play with their emotions just like they typically predicted

these normies are going to react to dropping the price here and there, buy sell, buy sell

The vast majority of people periodically investing in index funds are ETFs is going to be their best bet

Point number 12, drink more water, get more quality sleep. Yeah. I would say, you know, I would say I stopped drinking high caffeine drinks after 3 or 4 p.m

No matter what time I plan on going to sleep. Also, I notice that having an eye mask when you sleep helps a lot, man

And a lot of people think it bothers them. You should get an eye mask. Trust me, especially if you have windows and lots of sunlight or you, you like to sleep in, you got to have eye masks

I like the blackout blinds. Also, if you don't. like eye masks just because they gave you some crummy ones on your local airline flight try some

premium ones on amazon there's different like materials that appeal to different types of people

also i'll say this ander if you can get access to a dry sauna you could be in there for like

45 minutes a day or 30 minutes a day and then drink water with supplements while you're in there

so you're constantly cycling your system you're sweating out the old water getting new supplement

nutrient cal uh vitamin water into your body point number 13 you are not

the voice in your head, nor are you the emotions you feel. You are just a person experiencing those thoughts and feelings

Learning to separate yourself from that inner dialogue and emotions is a game changer This is crazy I got to just get more Basically you are a consciousness that is observing your thoughts and emotions in your brains

and the feelings and the world around you. You are not those actual emotions, thoughts, and feelings themselves

This is a mindfulness training, guys. This one's a little bit hard to explain, but let me tell you guys, this one's pretty key

Point number 14. Get a bidet. A clean butthole will change your life more than you think it would

Andrew, any thoughts on the bidet? Clean buttholes do feel nice. Yeah, whether you can achieve them this way, that way, wet wipes

you know, however you need to get there. Small life hack, if you can reach into your sink from your toilet

and you wet your little toilet paper just a little bit with water, it basically does the same as wet wipe

But you got to get the right tight-up toilet paper that doesn't shred. Right

Point number 15. For example, don't rub your butthole too hard. another one

so you're going to put it up there this guy said he has ADD so he has alarms for everything

he texts myself things that he needs to remember and he preps everything the next day

he also has toothbrushes deodorant toothpaste spare glasses cologne eye drops everywhere littered around

basically he's saying he's the type of person who forgets things so he knows that

so he places the things that he needs everywhere in multiple locations

wow see that's pretty smart because this guy's understanding his own idiosyncrasies and his own pros and cons as a player in this game of life

And he's basically mitigating the downsides by placing things that he knows he's going to forget

You got a life half yourself, guys. Not everybody is going to be the most responsible person in your family

And you just got to understand that. Point number 16. Cooking. Anybody can learn to make simple things like burgers and fried rice

Man, I'll just say this. Everybody should get a modern dual zone air fryer that could go up to 450 degrees

I know some of the really hot ones go up to 500 degrees. I think it could really replace everything in your whole kitchen

and make life a lot easier. It's funny. Somebody said this is the easy bake oven was the original air fryer

Point number 17. Stop eating 90% of the sugar that you normally do in your normal diet

For example, this guy said, I'm still fat, but at least I don't feel physically and mentally exhausted halfway into the day

Oh, good point. Definitely don't eat a lot of sugar in the morning when you first wake up, man

That's going to set your body up for not the right thing

You're saying insulin spikes. Yeah, they say if you're going to eat dessert and eat sugary things

eat it right after you've had a solid meal and then walk it off. And then you won't feel the effects of the sugar as much

Right, right, right. Obviously natural sugars versus refined sugars, but still sugars regardless

Point number 18, if something isn't a hell yeah, then it's a no

Basically, this guy is saying, if you're not super excited to go do something

then just don't go do it. I think that that's a really interesting. I definitely think that comes with age

I think when you're younger, a lot of people say yes to things. And maybe that's a way to get a lot of life reps

and spectrum of experience. But yes, when you get older, for sure, I agree with that

Number 19, cognitive behavioral therapy is something that 85% of people could probably use

See a therapist. I'll tell you this. If you can find the right type of therapist

that actually understands your life and they've seen a lot of reps like similar to yours

of course nobody's life is going to be 100 out of 100 same. but even somebody's life could have been like 80 out of 100 same

They could help you a lot think through your issues. Way better than your cousin or friend who's a good listener, okay, trust me

Number 20, cutting chicken into small pieces with a pair of scissors is so much easier than using a knife

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're a scissor man, dude, I will say this, man

Cutting stuff with the scissors, it's not as pretty steak. I wouldn't really do it if I'm actually cooking like a big steak

but like other stuff that you just need to cut up for a salad or something

didn't just use the kitchen scissors. Obviously, you got to wash them, but use them

Yeah I think a lot of people are obsessed with like knife work but it like not everybody a trained chef man Not everybody going to be a master Just make it easy Just get some better scissors There kitchen scissors Point number 21 if you are farting in public you should spread your butt cheeks

apart so it makes no noise or much less noise. Dude, I'm not going to lie

I just feel like spreading your butt cheeks apart and letting one out feels like you're

going to poop more. Right. So you're saying, don't do this or I'll tell you this

You guys let me know if this one's real. but a lot of people had up this and I looked it up on YouTube

It's a thing. If you can just change the shape of the instrument

it changes the sound of the noise. Still going to smell, though. You know how you make a fart not make any noise

You spread your cheeks apart. Is that true, though? Yes. So if you're doing a fart and you pull your, like, cheeks apart

and, like, open up your asshole like this. If you do that

the fart won't make any noise. He just got Point number 22

If you need a thing Buy the cheap version of the thing Then if you use it so much

You wear it out You can justify the expensive version Basically this guy is just referring

To usage rate cost per use Distributed over the lifetime of a Of a product

I always tell people if you're gonna use it every day And you're gonna use it a lot

Generally go with the more expensive version Like nine out of 10 times

But you don't always know If you're gonna use it a lot So sometimes buy a cheaper version

As kind of a trial run Like if you buy a cheaper one

and you don't use it, then you know you don't need the expensive one

If you buy a cheap one and you use it a lot

then you're like, yeah, I'll get the expensive one. I'll invest. Right. Now we're just getting in a few of my recommendations

Andrew, Nealmed sinus rinse. I'm just telling you guys, I'm popping it up right here on the thing

If you guys use Neumet Sinus rinse twice a day, it might change your life

I think it does work. It just seems like a lot of work to do twice a day

It's a lot of work, man. You know it's a lot of work. Well, that's why they sell the pre-mixed versions

and they also sell like the sprays. The sprays. But it's not going to work as good as the food

The sprays don't work the same, I will admit, but I cannot do twice a day

I don't need it that bad. I got a dry eye USB sleep mask to increase, like

my eye oils at night and stuff like that because I had dry eye issues. So there's just stuff like that

I think that a lot of people have E&T issues, a lot more than people think

because they just live with them and they accept it, but they've accepted a lower life baseline

You need to hire your baseline. Go get the, you know, take it care, get it taken care of using nasal strips

Point number 24, Andrew, vitamin pill cases. I think a lot of people could use supplements every day

but it's really difficult to open up like 20 jars a day. If you just fill up the vitamin pill case and then you just take one pill a day

you could take up to 12, 24 vitamins a day. You'll feel way better after two weeks

And point number 25, if you have a water bottle, because now you're taking care of your water consumption, right

putting supplements in there. And you need to clean the water bottle. Use a retainer or Invisaline cleaning tablet overnight to clean your water bottle

because otherwise sometimes water bottles, they're kind of hard to clean. Oh

I'm going to do that today. Use one of those tablets. Crazy

I would also, I think we might have glossed over at the nasal strips

I think those things really work. You can go buy on Instagram, get that one

expensive one with the metal bar and the magnets, or you can just get the sticky ones that are pretty cheap

and they have a range of them, but they really help you breathe better. Andrew, a ton of NFL linemen play with those nasal strips

And guess who played with them in the NBA, Old Impalinis? Whoa

Anyway, guys, let us know some other hyper-simple, super-cheep, effective life hacks in the comments section below

I think it's fun to do these sometimes because, you know, sometimes we're talking about things that are so macro

and even though they're all real, they're sort of like outside of your control. These are things you could order for your house

maybe get at the local drugstore, and implement today. Let us know some other interesting ones

in the comments section below. Until next time, we're to hop-hop boys. We out. Peace
