Why YSK: Carbon monoxide (CO) is known as the "silent killer" for a reason. It's odourless and colourless, so it's very hard to detect. For this reason, it's always a good idea to ensure your fire detector/smoke alarm also has CO detection (most of the newer fire detectors come standard with this…
In case you‘re using Revolut, I recommend you to take a look at the app‘s privacy settings. The third point under the „marketing“ section allows them to share data such as „name, email address and app events with social m*dia and advertising platforms“, and the toggle is turned on by default. Why…

YSK that the color of the warning lights on your car's dashboard indicate the urgency of the problem
Some cars have weird, confusingly shaped lights on the dash, or maybe you just didn't read the manual. Either way, you don't necessarily need to know what every light means as long as you pay attention to the color. Green: Non issue, just a notification. Things like fog lights, or ready to move on…

Why YSK: If you're looking for deals from private parties, or selling something as a private party, the meeting place for the transaction should be somewhere safe.

Why YSK - to all the teens and young people out there reading this, you don't need to consume alcohol to socialize and have a good time. Advertisements will try to convince you otherwise, so that you become addicted to their product.

I've seen several people on here talk about changing their rating of drivers because they were given one star, so they "one star back". YSK: Uber delays rider (and driver) ratings updates to "protect anonymity" and won't say how long the delay is. But they do a shit job of communicating that to…

Why YSK: Too often, depressed people pass away or don’t get help because people don’t think they’re depressed. You should check in with all your friends/family members, even if they seem happy. I can speak from personal experience, but can anyone else corroborate this?

Why YSK: Although toothpastes and mouthwashes can never “rebuild” teeth, they can contribute to this remineralization process. So take care of your teeth before you're condemned to a life of sensitive teeth, and pain. It's especially important to brush before going to bed. Citation:…
YSK you can use code “savethenightct” in the Uber app for $10 off your next 30 rides until 1/14/2022
Why YSK: Title is self explanatory. The code was made for residents of Connecticut but worked for me in Texas. Use this to save some money on Uber during the holidays, don’t drink and drive!
So firstly I need to say a couple of things. I'm not picking on the US, it's just the majority of people on Reddit are from there. I'm from the UK and our reading age is lower at 9 years, so it's not a dunk. Here's a good link which is talking about my…

Hanukkah begins in 4 days (Nov 28th) and ends on December 6th. Why YSK: You can come off as ignorant and maybe even rude (to some people) saying ”Happy Hanukkah” 2-3 weeks after the holiday is over. So try to avoid saying it to your Jewish friends on Christmas! Save yourself the…
Why YSK: Many people will probably look at their "downgrade" options on their cable providers website and think that there's just no point in downgrading because of the lack of deals cheaper than what they're already getting.
