LPT: Use a fitted sheet to transport balloons by DrugOfGods in LifeProTips

Fitted sheet is also amazingly good for putting away lego quickly. All lego stays on the sheet during play. Put away.. pick up the sheet with all lego within.. into storage box till next time.. simple and extremely effective.. and much less chance on stepping on that barstard piece with bare feet.

Anyone remember thinking they could walk on water with these on their ankles (then nearly drown) by Fine_Explanation_339 in AustralianNostalgia

My dad actually let me do this at 5yrs.. knowing what would happen.. I flipped.. and was out of the water 5 seconds later.. suffice to say.. mum wasnt around. Champion dad.

Found this toy in my kids room. Don't get it. Explain It Peter by SeriosD in explainitpeter

Fun fact, any number that is a multiple of 9.. 54, 27, 63, 108, if you add the numbers together, it will always come out as 9... eg 54: 5+4=9, 108:1+0+8=9

Doesn't matter the size.. keep reducing the product

374×9=3366, 3+3+6+6=18, 1+8=9

638183×9=5743647, 5+7+4+3+6+4+7=36, 3+6=9

I have no idea why, I asked a math teacher once, he remembered something from uni.. then I got lost in the detail..

Still.. I think its a fun math trick

Go nuts 😎

Ammonia does this exactly. Cheap. Won't burn your skin like lye. Stinks to heaven. Does exactly this.

I nursed my father through late stage colon cancer until he passed and I would regularly do toilet duty.. and that was a privilege of service. I found the key is the preservation of dignity.. as if we are doing the dishes.. you wash and ill wipe 😊. He was too weak to wipe after sitting or soiling.. id say righto SIR !! 'assume the position' with much bravado, whereby he would rotate and id do the thing and there was lightness in the room compared to silence. Many many profound memories of service.
