How to sort things for laundry, get drinks at the bar faster, and not leave something important at a party.

An interesting new thread on Reddit: a user under the nickname Insanitanium12 readers share tips that everyone should know. More than 20 thousand comments have already gathered under the post - they have collected the most useful and popular.

1 … If you need to de-energize a specific room and you do not know which switch is responsible for what, plug the old radio into the desired outlet and turn it on louder. You will immediately realize that you have cut off the power to the desired room when he stops playing. -

Bonus: in the comments that a vacuum cleaner is suitable for the same purpose, if you do not have a radio.

2 … Honey never spoils, but it can crystallize. If it has hardened, do not throw it away, just heat it up a little - it will become liquid again. -

3 … If you went on a visit and brought something that you definitely need to take with you, put your keys next to this thing (provided that you trust these people, of course). Or buy any Bluetooth beacon that syncs with your smartphone so you never lose or forget important things. -

4 … If you have a little extra time, or just sit at home and watch a TV show or play, take a couple of minutes to pet your pet and call it a good boy (or girl). A phrase that I heard somewhere was forever stuck in my head: "An animal is just a part of our life, but we are their whole life." -

5 … I have several baskets for dirty laundry, they are sorted by color. Thanks to this, I never forget to add a black T-shirt or socks when I wash dark clothes: I just dump the right box in the washing machine and I don't go through the dirty clothes. -

6 … After moving, always the first thing to do is arrange a sleeping place and make a bed. That way, when you get tired of unpacking, laying out things and assembling furniture, you can collapse on the bed and rest. There is nothing worse than having to tuck a blanket into your duvet cover when you are barely on your feet. -

7 … Change the oil in your car regularly. Seriously, do this and your car will last you longer. -

8 … When you cook and according to the recipe you need to add onion and garlic to the pan, always put the onion first, and add the garlic when the onion pieces become transparent - the garlic cooks in literally 30 seconds, after which it starts to burn.

Plus, if you cook at home often, sharpen your knives regularly. -

9 … If you plan on sitting at a popular bar for a long time, give the bartender a tip after your first drink and ask how he is doing. Then you are much more likely to get the following drinks faster. -

10 … Not getting parchment paper over a baking sheet? Crumple it a little (but do not overdo it) and cover it again - it will fit perfectly. -

Another user, that you can slightly moisten a baking sheet with water - and the paper will stick to it by itself.
