It's so great to see people actually considering others and inventing things to improve their lives, even if it is just for a moment and in some small area of life. Unfortunately, their good intentions have been misused a lot lately.
The phrase "life hack" has almost become a gimmick. Tricks, skills, and shortcuts that were once offered to help people enhance their daily lives have been recycled so many times that they have evolved into incomprehensible monstrosities that are only good for generating clicks.
This feels like those 70 photos that make your brain need a restart.

Moreover, the sheer number of unusable and ludicrous hacks is cluttering the internet, making genuinely good ideas hard to notice. We’ve tried to correct that, and we hope we’ve succeeded.
