-Brush your teeth in the shower

-Use a pair of dedicated kitchen shears to cut meat (sounds strange but so much easier/faster/less likely to cut your finger off)

-Re-sharpen your razors by rubbing them "upwards" 10-20 strokes on your wet armhair/wet jeans. I haven't changed my razor in 2 months since starting, and it's a cheap Bic. (i've mentioned this before). Huge savings for all of us.

- Spend 10 minutes practicing this and it will help you for a lifetime:

Also shave immediately after leaving a hot shower without drying your face - you will not need shaving cream.

Mr. Blonde · 03-09-2011, 07:38 AM

^ Really? I thought the main purpose of cream was for lubrication? I guess this probably only works if you shave daily/when you first start to get visible regrowth?

-Piss in the sink, save tons of water. All goes the same place anyways.

Brush your teeth while shitting, you can spit right between your legs ... only upside is sometimes you get toothpaste on your dick and it tastes like mint for the ladies.

I use a pizza cutter to cut cooked meat ... fuck scissors.

I have been shaving in the shower with no shaving cream for about two years now ... I have gone through 4 razors total. I even shaved my nutsack using this method once, was very nice until it started growing back.

For folding t-shirts: have girlfriend do it, i have not spent a single minute folding t-shirts since last october.

all in all, your advice was great for prompting my superior advice ... any other tricks I can improve on sir?

DDTempest · 03-09-2011, 09:24 AM

Also piss outside, its more fun and uses no water.

This. Also, if you dry your razor after shavin/shower, it keeps the blade sharp. The reason it loses it's luster is because of it being wet from the time between shaves. I saw a program on it last week.

P.S. Could you not edit your post and fit that into the first one instead of wasting space? Much like I did!?!

Repugnant Abomination · 03-09-2011, 05:51 PM

Why can't you be more like Shaw?

Cocktooth · 03-09-2011, 07:02 PM

Valid question!

I'm diversifying my portfolio.

F.lux: software to make your life better

You enter in your coordinates of where you live, it times when it is sunset and adjusts your computer screen so it isn't blazing into your frakkin' eyeballs at night time. It's much easier on your eyes.

Don't let it annoy you initially, stick through it and after a day or two you won't even notice. I just temporarily disabled mine and it's amazing how bright it was.

I turn all my monitors to the dimmest possible setting. Your eyes adjust and you'll be thankful for it.

Mr. Blonde · 03-10-2011, 06:52 AM

I don't know how I feel about that during mid-day when it's bright. Whenever my laptop is unplugged and it dims I can't see shit.

Mr. Blonde · 03-10-2011, 07:05 AM

- When you're dropping a deuce, and the turtle head starts peeking out, shift your torso/abdomen to the left as if you are reaching for something directly behind you (with your right hand). This might actually be a placebo thing with me, but based on human anatomy i'm 85% sure this action puts internal muscle pressure on the colon/rectum and helps in pushing out whatever needs to be released.

Like I said, might just be in my head, but give it a shot and see if it works for you. Always seems like I have an easier time when I do it.

DDTempest · 03-10-2011, 09:01 AM

If you have trouble pooping eat more vegetables.

Mr. Blonde · 03-10-2011, 09:17 AM

Says the guy who has probably been eating overstocked valentines chocolates for the last few weeks. I eat tons of vegetables and fruit -- I don't have trouble pooping, I just like the feeling of wrenching my bowels clean. Think of it like simply squeezing a gym towel to dry it versus twisting the fuck out of it.

Just downloaded this. I like the concept a lot. Thanks.

You are 100% correct sir. I work at a place that sells Valentines candy, so surely I bought all of it up after Valentines day and have been using it as my main source of caloric intake. I just hope I have enough to last until Easter is over.

Lifehack: hang your towel to dry.

I'm 90% sure you are trolling somehow even though there's no black text in that post.

This reeks of insecurity. Just like your poop reeks of milk chocolate.

No trolling sir. Give it a shot. (works best when constipated)

What, I can't give poop advice?

THEINCREDIBLEdork · 03-10-2011, 09:26 PM

When you feel like you have to drop a duece stay away from the bathroom and try to hold it in as long as you can. When the turtle head starts peeking out do kegals to pull it back inside. Once you get the hang of it you can pull turd in and out and it results in some stimulating anal play. The longer you hold the turd in, the more water your colon will absorb from the turd and the the harder it will become.

Ugly Bastard · 03-10-2011, 10:10 PM

I'm going on record to say that I will not be trying your technique. You will not have the satisfaction of snickering to yourself at the thought of me corkscrewing to my left to try to force out a shit. I'm not falling for your little game here.

Trolling or not, I'll try anything that could improve a blumpkin at least once... I'll let you know how it works out

Saint DH · 03-10-2011, 11:28 PM

I really like that screen dimming program. I give it a +1.

You like the idea? Or you've put it into practice and it works well? I've read the reviews and they say it doesn't work very well... Should I try it?

	The basis of our governments being the opinion of the people, the very first object should be to keep that right; and were it left to me to decide whether we should have a government without newspapers, or newspapers without a government, I should not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter. But I should mean that every man should receive those papers and be capable of reading them.
