In the Soviet newspapers it was possible to find many useful advice that people sent, and today they are called the fashionable word "lifhak". Some ideas are original, while others look, to put it mildly, "strange."
You think that lifhakas have appeared quite recently, but this is not so, back in the 60s in the journal "Science and Life" there was a heading called "To the house master: small cunnings". If in Soviet times these councils were very popular, then to a modern person they may seem strange and incomprehensible. Let's make a journey into the past and maybe find something interesting.
1. Freshen the hardened bread
If the bread has become stale, you do not need to throw it away, because there is a way to restore freshness to it. It's very simple - put it in a bag, tie the edge and put it on the sun or on the battery. After a few hours the roll will become soft.
2. Ice is no longer scary
In winter, the risk of injury during the fall significantly increases, so you need to protect yourself. There are different ways, for example, you can screw in the bottom of the short screws at an angle. Another option - you can attach a rubber band with a spiked bar. To prevent the sole from slipping, glue several pieces of sandpaper to it.
3. 360-degree translation
In order to be able to watch TV from anywhere in the room, simply install it on the "Health Disk". The result is a rotating support. It is important to make sure that the design is reliable and the technology will not fall.
4. Drive out bothersome insects
Today, electric flycatchers are already selling actively in the form of badminton rackets, but in fact such a device was used even in Soviet times. To the racket, attach a grid with cells about 3 mm, which must first be anointed with a sticky substance, such as "Mukholov" or syrup. In places where insects are seen, simply wave the racket.
5. To entertain without stopping
One of the available and popular entertainment is playing badminton, but there are situations when the strings break, and the shuttle stuck in the holes that appear. In order not to throw out the racket and continue to play, just pull on her pantyhose and tie them on the handle.
6. Self-made mixer
We do not know who thought of this before, but you can replace the mixer with an old child's junior. First, remove the lower part of the body, and insert the rotating part into the jar, closed with a plastic cover on top, in which you must first make a hole. To make the products mixed, from the bottom to the axle attach a smaller diameter lid, on which you make the denticles in advance.
7. A basket of handy tools
If an old football ball is pierced, do not throw it away, because it can still come in handy. On both sides, you need to cut out the same parts, so that the basket eventually turns out. It is recommended to pre-make the markup. The handle is additionally strengthened with electrical tape. Such a folded basket will fit even in your pocket. The ideal solution for collecting mushrooms in the forest.
8. Open the drawer - no problem
Many faced with trouble, when on the locker or cupboard the handle disappears and it becomes very difficult to open the box. In this situation, help vantuz, which should be pressed to the box in the place where there was a handle, and pull it toward you. After that, you can install the disassembled part in place.
9. A stock of pens for the future
If you bought a bundle of rods for ballpoint pens, you need to take care that they do not wither. To do this, there is a simple lifhak - put them in a test tube and cover with a dense lid. Thanks to such storage, the rods can be used even after years. By the way, if the dead rods are placed in new flasks, they will restore their properties.
10. To pay less bills
If the house has a counter on the water, then for economy it is possible to put a brick in the drain tank of a toilet bowl. As a result, it will be possible to substantially reduce water consumption.
