Did you know that taking more than the recommended amount of Nytol, produces a paradoxical effect? Indeed, it is more likely to keep you awake than put you asleep.

I'll ruin this thread and bump it with some useful lifehacks.
> To win at rock paper scissors: Before actually playing show some subliminal moves that they think you are going to make. I.e Keep clinching your fist, open your palm, etc to make them think you're going to throw rock/paper. Women throw scissor the most. Men throws rock the most.When shaking the fist for the count, do so first and hard. This makes them hesitant and they play the same moves over again.
> Bacteria that cause tooth decay, acne, tuberculosis, and leprosy can be cured with cashews.
> If you cut a 'V' shape into your toe nails, you can prevent 'in-grown' toe nails.
> Here's a little psychology trick, it's called anchoring mental states.You want to make girl smile? Try this out. Once you start talking to the girl and you have her in a conversation try to notice her breathing pattern. Try and inhale and exhale at the same time she does. (don't make it obvious, and it takes some practice)Next, wiggle your left hand fingers anytime she smiles while you are talking to her. Eventually, you will have anchored her smile and her mental state to the wiggling of your fingers. Every time you wiggle she will return to that mental state. NOTE: you don't have to use wiggling. You can pretty much use any subtle move. Try using the left side of your body though. ALSO, if you have the balls, instead of creating an anchor with your own body, use hers. Touch her left shoulder every time she smiles or laughs.
> If you're given a cocktail napkin or coaster with excessive condensation, sprinkle salt on it. It will cease to lift up with your drink.
> When filling out important paperwork, scan it in to Adobe Acrobat and use the typewriter tool to fill it out if you have bad handwriting. Save the document. Now you have two things -- a copy in case you lose the paperwork or there is a dispute and a very professionally filled form that can increase perceptions of you and reduce the chance of mistakes when important data is entered.
> If you have more than 10,000 in your bank, start putting money in CDs that are very safe and boring. The sooner you start compounding interest, the more and more powerful it becomes. I will not give more complicated investment advice, but the simple advice is CDs will pay you and play with debt financing before advancing to equity.
> Open a bank account, put a hundred dollars in it. Then put the atm card in a box somewhere. Having a hundred dollars that no one knows about could save your life.
> You can throw clothes in the dryer for about 5 minutes or so to get wrinkles out.
> Put smelly shoes in a plastic bag and put it in the freezer overnight. The smell is caused by bacteria, which will die when deep frozen.
> Use lighter fluid to remove sticky stuff from price labels etc.
> If you park your car somewhere where you think it may get stolen, remove something small but vital, like the fuse for the fuel pump.
> Use packing peanuts when setting mice traps. Don't use peanut-butter or cheese, they will attract other rodents/insects. But, mice need house supplies.
> Also, while on a date, talk about something the girl likes. While doing so, do something simple, yet mundane, like playing with the pepper-shaker. Later, when you wanna suggest something you may be having confidence suggesting, play with the same pepper-shaker. The suggestion will link back to the thing she likes and she'll normally agree.
> ECA. Ephedrine, Caffiene, Aspirin. 20mg, 200mg, 81mg respectively. Best way to burn fat and curb appetite. Take this twice daily and do sit ups and you will lose weight.
> Secretaries ALWAYS TREAT SECRETARIES RESPECTFULLY AND GO OUT OF YOUR WAY TO HELP THEM NEVER NEVER NEVER ANTAGONIZE A SECRETARY. Secretaries and Admin Assistants are the gatekeepers for resources and people that you will need to have help you they also have very strong relationships with those in positions of authority and also serve as informers to decision-makers. If they say you're good, or that you've always been great to work with, that will factor in on you.
> A couple of grains of rice in a salt shaker will absorb moisture and keep the salt from turning into a miniature brick.
> Sharpen scissors by using them a few times on a piece of sand paper.
> If theres something you really need to remember the next day, put a weird object in a weird place. It helps you to remember anything by triggering your memory.
> If you just have to make dookies in a public restroom, you should first drop a big handful of toilet paper into the toilet to provide your turds with a landing zone cushion. This way, the nasty public poop water won't splash back on (or in) your butthole.

I thought everyone put tp down in a public toilet. Also, my contrbution, get a bucket, bag, someting you can swing around. Now go to an empty space. Swing it around once, as fully as you can. No water should fall out.
