Coloring isn't "the best" alternative to meditation. It can be a form of meditation. Really, you can do just about anything meditatively

You misunderstood meditation. I would agree you can do anything mindfully.

Mindfulness is a form of meditation (fun fact, I'm a psychologist that specializes in mindfulness-based therapies!)

Driving is meditative for me, as dangerous as that sounds. Like I zone out but still react to everything, in some cases faster than 1/2

If I were paying attention. I was zoned one time and this car pulled halfway into the road right in front of me and I swerved around 2/3

Anyone try the finger whistle and make some kinda weird farting sound? No?...just me...?....

Trying making sure your fingers and lips are completely dry. Like parched.

Also angle your fingertips toward your mouth so the fatty pads are behind your nails.

Thank you for sharing. Judging by those ingredients, it didn't sound very ice-creamy.

As wrong as most of these are, that temporary tattoo one is legitimately helpful for me.
ThisOneTimeInZelda
Isn't the concern with a tattoo less of what it looks like and more of is the artist not going to fuck it up?

Not necessarily. I am considering a side piece and just want to know if I will like how it looks before the time and expense.

Baking soda and vinegar make CO2, which is heavier than air. Just blow up the balloon like a normal, functioning adult.

I looked up the bi products of the reaction to see what was produced and was so confused about that slide. Thank you for this

I was about to write that, it's much quicker to blow up a balloon with your mouth, so I don't know why that's even there.

But... We also exhale CO2...
theinfamousnictator
We don't exhale entirely CO2, its primarily the N2 already in the atmosphere. But a small amount sure
thetonestarr
Well, that and sodium acetate, which is even heavier than that.
Littlecnasty
Wouldn't sodium acetate remain aqueous?
CaesarSaladSlut
Sodium acetate is so cool
S0RRY
I was going to make a comment about how heavy your mom is. But I'm too lazy and un-creative for it. Just insert a "your mom" joke here.
CaesarSaladSlut
Sodium acetate is so cool
Littlecnasty
Wouldn't sodium acetate remain aqueous?
thetonestarr
It'd actually be solid but dissolved into the water that remains after the reaction & a substantial portion would bubble into the balloon.
jugeyfruits
I'm willing to bet that no sodium acetate would end up in the balloon.
thetonestarr
Well then you'd bet wrong.

Is there a household chemical reaction which creates a lighter-than-air gas?
Chatan37
Not really household chemicals but magnesium and HCl produces hydrogen gas
Sickofnotliving
This should probably not be answered. I foresee many a house fire in the near future.

Yea, drano and aluminum foil creates flammable hydrogen and who knows what else. At least it used to, mightve changed the formula.
ImSorryFriend

Also, they don't tell you that "Amazon Prime eligible" products are usually the most expensive version of the textbook

Free for 6 months, but unless you cancel it you're automatically charged
Snuggletummy
Why yes, yes it does. Learned that after I got a free year then noticed that something charged $50 to my card.
headbitchincharge
If you don't use the service you can cancel it and get a refund. Just call them up they have great customer service (I did the same thing)

stupidinflatablepants
The money and cooking bit ticks me off. Just cause you don't eat out, doesn't mean the food you cook is free. Unless you live with mommy.
ConfidentlyComplimenting
True, eating at home is not free, but it's almost always significantly less expensive than paying a restaurant to make food for you.
stupidinflatablepants
Not significantly, just less. Food is expensive. When your budget doesn't allow for bulk, you spend much more than you'd think.
stupidinflatablepants
But you're right still, restaurants are much more expensive. And funny part, it'd take us just as long to cook the same food.
rollercostarican
i dont think eating out is exclusive to restaurants
bushfakedmoonlanding
As someone who drinks at least one 8oz Red Bull a day- 50 cans do not cost $140. A 24 pack is less than $40.
VeganFeministFlatEarther
Buying something is bulk is always cheaper, yes. The stat probably used the individual retail price
bushfakedmoonlanding
That is true! But even an individual one is about $1.95, which is still less than $100. It doesn't really matter, I just love red bull haha
CatrionaShadowleaf
As they're no longer generally available in single 8oz cans, you'd have to buy 4-packs for 7.99. It's just under 100 bucks for ~50 cans.
rollercostarican
8oz cans in abundance here in NYC
CatrionaShadowleaf
12 oz cans are available singly and would cost $125 if you catch them on sale for 2/$5, which is somewhat often where I am (but not always).
bushfakedmoonlanding
Where I live you can buy single 8oz cans pretty much everywhere, and a 4pack of 8 oz is only 5.49. I'm really obsessed with red bull haha
CatrionaShadowleaf
Sad, I can't find them anywhere, and I had to buy 12 oz today because they were completely out of 4-packs at the store.
YoMTVRapz
Doesn't that one also require a soda stream? Which is like $100
imaginativecaffeinatedscribbler
Not to mention the taste is subpar in my opinion. Easier to buy off-brands to save money.
Doodleyduds
You could mix it with seltzer water, but you'd be spending money on fresh fizzy water or have your drink slightly more flat than the rest.
AnAngryOtter
I hate "life hacks", the name is retarded (they're just tips) and most of them time they're completely worthless.
IgniaEternale
I am interested in the Red Bull substitute. Anyone know if this actually is legit? I'm poor and have a significant other that is hooked onRB
IgniaEternale
If this is already been answered, I apologize. I'm working and on mobile.
QuartzBlue
I haven't tried it mixed with the seltzer, but an old coworker actually had a sodastream machine and would make them for me. It's not bad.
IFuckingLoveOtters
"place your drink in a roll of duct tape" I mean come on you don't have to be an engineer to come up with that. Also: cup holders.

Don't have to be an engineer to figure out it wouldn't work unless you're an old lady who never uses her brakes at all, ever.

Hendlton
Yeah, like blowing up balloons with vinegar and baking soda, what? Why not just blow them up with your mouth?
BlessYourBeautifulHide
I think the point was to make them float, but I have no idea whether the vinegar and baking soda would do that.
Hendlton
Nope, it produces CO2 which is heavier than air.

Whistling with my fingers is never going to happen for me and I've come to terms with that.

You have to be taught in person, I can't regular whistle but someone taught me how to do thr 4 finger whistle.

Don't give up! I decided to learn to whistle loudly (without fingers, btw) and soon it clicked! It only took a few months, then one day..

CatsAndCoffeeAndCats
But you just tried until you almost fainted ... Right? I did and still cant do it
HypnoChanger
I don't like that kind of whistle anyway. It's just a sharp, annoying one note sound that conveys no useful information on it's own. 1/
HypnoChanger
Normal whistling is way better; you can make a wide number of notes and even carry a melody. So it's at least good for something.

Who the hell are these people eating out 3 times a day?!? I've got a family of 4! We eat out once, maybe twice a month.
Surefif
Pretty sure $15 won't get you 3 meals anywhere.
rollercostarican
breakfast: $3 bacon egg and cheese sandwich, lunch: $3 for 2 slices of pizza and a soda/$5 deli sandwich, dinner: $5 for chicken and rice
Surefif
Jesus Christ, where? That's like exactly my diet and it costs me double. $6.10 for b/e/c, $6.50 for two slices (no soda), $9 for street meat
rollercostarican
New York City son, gotta find the right spots though. Corner Deli's, 2 bro's, and the Halal guy on my corner lol
LateNightBunnyParty
$15 will get me a pound of chicken, four ears of corn, two potatoes, and a 2 liter soda to make dinner with, and I'd still have change.
LateNightBunnyParty
Chicken @ $1.75/lb, corn @ 2/$1.00, potatoes @ $1.39/lb, soda @ $1.00/bottle. That's what I paid today. Divide that by 4.
Surefif
I get that. I was commenting on the post saying "The average American spends $15 a day eating out" and you asking who eats out 3 times a day
LateNightBunnyParty
Ah. Gotcha.
LateNightBunnyParty
But still, $15 WILL get you 3 meals if you eat at home.
metavurt
Cooking can shave more than half off costs, when actually done right. Cooking does not mean packaged pre made foods.
VeganFeministFlatEarther
And that "the average American" is skewed because you can go UP infinitely but only down 15$
ClearlyFalcon
And if you have a family, cooking costs WAY more than 15/day
somanyfeels21
This personal finance author says you are doing it wrong then.
JeremytheBearemy
Yeah but it's still cheaper than $15/day per person
kahless01
it does but i can cook spagetti or rice and chicken for 15$ thatll last me 5 days. that ones actually on point for me. 15$ or more a day
RichardLew
When you're a commercial pilot travel fees doesn't matter
somanyfeels21
Way less when done right.
muinmuin
That very much depends on what you eat and how many people you are cooking for.
confanity
To a degree, yes. But lentils, eggs, carrots, rice, potatoes, and other staples and veggies can go a long way for a very small price.
muinmuin
I agree. But most people I know include meat in at least two meals each day. Even tofu can get pretty pricey.
confanity
Two meals a day?!? What happened to, like, PBJ for lunch?
MooLord
The more people you are cooking for, the cheaper it is per person.
muinmuin
Definitely. I generally cook for myself and my boyfriend, and even though we only eat meat a few times a week for dinner, I'd guess it's 1/2
muinmuin
pretty rare that either of us eat for less than $15 a day. 2/2
