I hate them so much. They had a hack for freezing coffee into cubes and using those to cool your coffee. I still can't formulate into enough words how (and why) that pissed me off.

But that's how I make my afternoon iced coffees ;_; why you gotta hate, pp?

I think if they were presented as quirky ideas for a rainy day project clipped from Reader's Digest or Highlights, they'd be fine...the name 'hack' and the meme-generator presentation implies they are mind-blowing ways to cut through life's red tape, stunning left-field solutions from techy firebrands who have figured out how to live and don't want to waste any time doing so. When in reality it's like... so...you put Koolaid in a bottle and shook it up...? Or: You found a good use for all those old-timey wooden ladders you have lying around for...some reason? They're not 'lifehacks,' they're almost unsurpassedly ordinary.

There's an implied YOU'RE WELCOME at the end of every one of these things, like someone accepting your apology when you have offered none.

I told you, I can't put it into words. Pouring coffee into an ice tray isn't going to enhance your life in any way.
This is the recent one that made me really lose my shit. But you know, when you lose your shit over something that someone has done, that's your fault. #lifehack

the worst ones are the "creative" ones, the ladder-turned-shelf ones, which by virtue of being "lifehacks" are viral and have seen by everyone on the internet, so everyone who sees your twee as fuck creativity will know exactly where it came from

also lol @ emily's carl sagan one. Is someone in your feed on a Carl Sagan listserv or something? I feel like you posted a similarly rainbow-colored one, with Haunting Thoughtful Face, way back at the beginning.
― Doctor Casino, Saturday, 17 August 2013 20:34 (ten years ago) link
That Carl Sagan fellow is all bollocks. I mean, you can see right through him.

^seriously. A lifehack would be, like, how do I make money to live on without working or something.
Casino, I think I sent the Sagan one to you in a private message, but yeah, I have a lot of fucking lovers of science on my fb. Also loving that this thread is enough of a priority for you to check from China!

Re: Sagan picture, I wd argue that the reduction of the phenomena of the sunset to 'romance' is the real harm

When people share that, are they sharing because it's a funny caricature of what they think ... or because they actually think it?
