There are lists of life hacks everywhere now. You see them on social media and in lots of other places online. A hack is a tip. You may think tips for living a better life are a good idea but now all of them even work. This explains twelve of the bogus ones.

Key Takeaways:

• Life hacks give us cheap, elegant ways to stay organized and productive.
• Making a grilled cheese sandwich by turning a toaster on its side and putting two slices of bread inside with a slice of cheese atop each.
• Buttered bread will grease the inside of your toaster, and the final product won’t have the same texture. Plus, the bread might pop out and get melty cheese all over the place.
