Why YSK: so many times I've been in friends houses or cars with them while they're smoking cigarettes and it's honestly the worst thing, it makes me not want to hang out with those people or go to their houses at all. That kind of thing could be affecting your friendships and you may not even know…
Why YSK: it is important to remember that we can not rush to judgement with people and must be smart and objective. Richard Jewell was a hero whose life was ultimately ruined by a combination of irresponsible reporting and government officials needing a "quick win" to get people comfortable with…
Why YSK: Parents should know this because there is a widespread misunderstanding about the connection between parental education/income level and child brain and language development. Namely, that higher income parents teach their kids more words, and this then leads to better brain language…
Why YSK - "Dennys" is re-listing portions of thier menu virtually as "Burger Den" for burgers and "Melt Down" for sandwiches to trick you into ordering "Dennys" in case you thought you were trying something new or supporting a new business. Can confirm the quality is still "Dennys" quality.
Why YSK: because in many cases you won’t have access to that school email anymore or will just forget to check it but you’ll often receive emails to it from the school long after you’ve left. And sometimes these emails are VERY important (example: “you actually owe us more tuition and if you don’t…
Why YSK: learning to recognise the techniques and patterns of behaviour will help you protect yourself and better support friends or family suffering psychological or emotional abuse. A significant amount of harm has already been done if you have to learn this the hard way. Abusive power and…
Why YSK, lots of people don't know what companies have leaked or lost your personal data, including email-address and passwords. This way you can check if your data has been leaked so you can change passwords if you use those passwords on other sites in combination with that email-address. It won't…
Why YSK: Everyone comes from a different background. Sometimes if you come from a good family, you can't understand why someone might cut out a relative. "You'll regret it when they're gone!" Is a pretty common sentence, for people who don't understand. It could stem from different variety of…
Yes, those sweet times sitting in front of our TV or PC. Ignoring our parent's calls to go outside. 20 years later I work on the medical research team for pupillary.org [https://pupillary.org/] and read a lot of papers on this topicbehavioral. And, oh, boy, were they right. Here're just a few small…
Why YSK: To help stop a friend’s depression becoming even worse. If you have a friend who may be depressed, it’s natural for them to ignore texts and cancel plans. The golden rule is to never take it personally. Keep on trying. It’s no time to lose friends. Getting angry or thinking ‘well fuck…
Why YSK: it's rarely a joke this is a sign that someone is reaching out for help, they don't necessarily want to die but may not see a way out and are looking for help but with all the stigma associated with mental illness it can be hard to come out and say exactly what's going on. It's important…
Why YSK: No one likes being ghosted. Though I can understand why you might. Feeling guilty about not talking to them can eat at you, ironically enough, making you not want to contact them. But you either need to end the friendship peacefully or make more of an effort. Even if all you do is text and…
Why YSK: I just recently learned that onions produce a gas that makes your potatoes sprout eyes and go bad much faster. I had to get a new bag ever 2 weeks before I moved them, now that they are located elsewhere I'm going over a month and a half and they are still fine. Don't waste your potatoes,…
Why YSK: it assists them in tracking scam and fraud trends, aids in better preparing the public to protect themselves against fraudulent solicitations, and in some cases helps victims get lost money back. If you’re a victim of fraud and lost money, you should definitely report any information you…
Why YSK: Often times, people listen to a specific type of music to compensate certain feelings. Me for example liked to listen to latin beats and sea shantys during months when I suffered from depression because those kinds of music were very uplifting and helped me forget the grueling everyday…
Why YSK: Words like "so" and "very" are intensifiers and don't carry any real meaning or further description. Something "very hot" could be anything from a hot day to the center of the Earth, so be specific to say what you mean! Instead of "very hot", try "boiling", "searing", "baking", or…
Why YSK: Some scenes can be distressing, especially for people with PTSD or who have suffered a loss. Googling a work of fiction is a good way to have it spoiled. This site has a list of trigger warnings for works of fiction and won't spoil anything. https://www.doesthedogdie.com The site tracks…
Why YSK: Because although you want to attract their attention by increasing their expectations, you'll ruin their experience. When some idiot tells me "you will love it, you will not guess the big twist ending" I immediately find myself thinking about the finale instead of focusing the moment and…
Why YSK: many people with this condition feel permanently left out because they can't relate to having a favorite song or a playlist for a particular mood. I think it's important for these people to know that it's okay. The condition is called specific musical anhedonia. it affects anywhere from…
Why YSK: the suicide hotline is now easier to remember (similar to 911), which means it will be easier for people to access when they need it. How I know. Literally got this message 5 minutes ago: > T-Mobile: The FCC has adopted 988 as a 3-digit number to be used nationwide to > reach the National…
Why YSK: It can save you from an accident!! Your cars side mirrors are not for seeing behind you, but to cover your blind spots! If you can see the driver behind you at a red light, they aren't set properly. To set them correctly get into the car while parked. Look in the rear view mirror while…
Note: I should mention that this won't work if one of your headphone speakers are simply just broken. The reason this happens is not a hardware issue but an issue with how the YouTuber/content creator edited the audio files, making the sound completely pan to either the right or left side. Why YSK:…
Why YSK: This happened to me this morning (and is still occurring right now). I received an alert this morning from Chase advising me of a purchase for $2400 for two laptops from Sams Club for pickup locally within 15 miles of my home. Immediately afterwards I started receiving hundreds of…
WHY YSK: I'm a tow truck op / roadside assistance tech. A job today reminded me of a not so known detail that almost every keyless start vehicle fob has a physical key on the inside. How you access them is different for every make/model vehicle. So if your battery dies on your vehicle and it's…
Why YSK: Android's latest update has been causing apps to crash constantly. Simply go to Settings->apps, click the three dots and "Show system apps". Then, open Android Webview or Chrome and uninstall updates. Hope this helps! Source: https://www.androidauthority.com/android-apps-crashing-1210994/
WHY YSK:. I used it in college to double check my work in stats 1 and 2. I use it to this day to relearn different formula solutions to help my kids with homework. It helps refresh the long forgotten by going through how Wolfram Alpha Calculator got the solution. It will even graph a line.
Why YSK: lots of people complain about sore muscles, but many simply either do nothing, or load up on OTC painkillers. For a more thorough rundown of the benefits and why you should use one, here's a list from a chiropractic / rehab center: https://www.thorpechiropractic.com/new/index.php/blog/28…
I've posted this before, but it didn't get a lot of attention and I think it's important. We're also coming into spring when those little assholes are more active. My husband is allergic to wasps and a couple years ago we found in our large Rhododendron bush in our yard a bald-faced hornets nest.…
It's a slow motion disaster that may potentially wipe out humanity. > The chemicals to blame for this crisis are found in everything from plastic > containers and food wrapping, to waterproof clothes and fragrances in cleaning > products, to soaps and shampoos, to electronics and carpeting.

Why YSK: Hand tremors can be caused by many different things and almost none of them are any of your business. Anxiety, a neurological disorder, drug/alcohol withdrawals, and brain damage are a few possible causes. The only one that can be improved by relaxing is anxiety. But calling attention to…
Why YSK: People who come to your house and give you a free estimate are often under pressure to win jobs that will make a big return. What most homeowners don't realize is that many construction projects aren't profitable for the company, and some will actually lose money. The point of the free…
This is true for all disposable battery cells, alkaline, and salt-based. The more depleted the battery, the higher it bounces. It doesn't applies to rechargeable cells. Why YSK: sometimes you have a mess in your stack of disposable batteries which needs to be sorted out quickly, or you just need to…
Why YSK the average life span in the US is 78.54? If your mother or father is current 60 plus reflect on the amount of time you spend with them each month. I would bet most people rarely see their parents 1 time a month. Meaning most people will have less then 100 of these moments left some less…
Why YSK: That way your child(ren) have a better idea of what is in store. When they become teenagers, talk to them about being an adult. Bills/saving money/different ways to get financial help, investing in money, etc. Teenage years are the awkward years. Not quite a kid, but not quite an…
Why YSK: I just got a massage and they found the source of my chronic pain, which were knots in my muscles from lifting weights. The masseuse said to do stretches after exercise to prevent knots. /u/LordCongra adds: "The literature supports stretching for 30 second to 1 minute 2-4 times daily and…
Why YSK: you should know so you can avoid any further damage to your eyes. Chronically rubbing your eyes can have multiple effects on the health of the eye. 2 consequences in particular can actually affect your vision long term. 1. Continuous eye rubbing can lead to thinning of the corneal…
You should know that fishbowls are cruel and inhumane. why YSK know this is because of many reasons. First is the area of the bowl. For some fish like the common goldfish, this is important because they can get up to a foot. Cramming them in a small space means there body grows while their organs…
Why YSK: I just had this happen to me. My wife and I both have satellite radio enabled cars. I don't have mine active because I don't listen to music often enough (I prefer podcasts, audibooks, etc). I still get special advertisements all the time about restarting my service. I happened to get one…
Why YSK: A lot of people don’t utilize their bank’s online bill pay feature, myself included up until about a year ago. Not only does it save time, the bank usually provides this service for free and will even mail your check for free to the designated payee (so no paying for postage either). When…
Why YSK: everyone has probably received the advice saying that your password should be something like 8*^iHs89%>l7. However, not only is this hard to remember, it is actually less secure than "The tall horses joyfully galloping across the wide meadow quickly became thirsty". Assuming that you only…
Why YSK: I deliver for a living. If I know someone is older, I put their packages on a table/chair if they have one in front of their house. I get a lot of compliments for thinking of that. A little patio table can be found for $20-$40 at Walmart or similiar stores. Or even cheaper second hand. You…
Why YSK: In states with eviction moratoriums there have been a few cases of sellers refusing to leave the house after the buyer has purchased it, and legally no one can do anything about it until the moratorium is lifted. If you’re a buyer this would be terrible for you. If you’re the seller maybe…
Why YSK: I'm posting this because that has always been my answer, and more often than not they look at me like I have three heads, which tells me that it's not a common response they get. While they may need that for you to get a 5% discount next time you go in, the real reason they want it is to…
Why YSK To better yourself, you need to stick with it. Some people do like exercising, but I still don't like it, even after doing it for a while. But I still do it, because I know that it's good for me. I don't like drinking ordinary water, because it's too plain tasting. But I know drinking more…
I noticed recently that my set of silicone dilators has an expiration date on the box that’s coming up very soon. I would have presumed they would last a lot longer if cleaned properly, since they are nothing but a smooth, solid shape, but the date was only about two years after I bought them. I’d…
Why YSK: So you understand how customer service works and how to get what you want so both parties are happy. I work customer service, I won't say for what company. But we have a protocol to follow. Which involves customer service offering credit to your account with *insert company* first.…
Why YSK: Because speeding causes accidents. Also it's silly to freak out about something you have little control over. Your commute to work, for example, is going to be pretty much the same length of time if you're late and you speed to compensate. 1 ÷ (speed limit) - 1 ÷ (your speed) = time…
Why YSK: We often underestimate how much information we're really sharing online. It might not feel like we're identifying ourselves by sharing a few generic pieces of information about ourselves. But given just how easily identifiable we become after sharing just a few pieces of information, it…
If you received unemployment benefits in 2020, then you should NOT file your taxes until your chosen tax preparation site/software has been updated or else you will overpay and have to amend your return later.

Why YSK: It's not only saving from animal attacks, also cought up in traps, with some sort of rope around their neck and so much more. Search for animal rescue fake and look for yourself what once was awww is now quityourbullshit. If these guys get the clicks and ad revenue they will never stop…

Why YSK: If you would like to get into song writing or producing, it can be hard to know where to start. When learning online you often gather information about music theory and tips for producing without any context, exercise or link between them. This [https://learningmusic.ableton.com/] is the…
We can't be right 100% of the time and that is totally okay. If you get mad when someone respectfully disagrees with you/proves you wrong, that could be an indication of narcissism. Why YSK? Because no one likes being around someone who can't handle being wrong or takes offense to it. Edit: oh boy…
Why YSK: If you are ever in the situation to need help from any emergency service you should be aware that it doesn't matter how long the call takes and how many questions are being asked. The operator will already have sent help once they know what is happening and where. Stay calm and just answer…
Why YSK: The purpose of the charcoal air filter is to remove odors from the air as you cook. Most people know about the metallic grease filters on the bottom where the air gets sucked in, but not the charcoal filter inside the top-front panel where the air gets blown out. If you live in an…
Why YSK: If you go to buy 3rd party water filter replacements for your fridge/ brita they'll tell you they can remove harmful metals like lead but aren't actually certified to do so unless they have NSF 53 certification. Full story: I live in Newark, NJ, so even though there's no lead pipes in my…
Why YSK: On February 2 2021, a compilation of at least 3.2 billion unique email/password combos were released on a popular hacking forum (as per CyberNews). Known as COMB (Compilation of Many Breaches), the data includes credentials from past leaks and spans websites across the internet in…
Why YSK: There's a simple trick you can use on your Google searches to find all the openly available spreadsheets out there. The only thing you need to do is write the following syntax in your google search: * site:docs.google.com/spreadsheets intitle:[anything you want] However, there are a…
Why YSK: Water heaters use an anode rod to attract and remove sediments from the water being heated. An anode rod will corrode and deteriorate over time until it’s no longer capable of functioning and has to be replaced. This part literally sacrifices itself to keep the tank in optimal condition.…
Why YSK: I have worked in a few factories. In a chocolate factory I worked in we would also do liquorice and lollies. We would do a whole batch of liquorice and change the packaging to another brand which was cheaper and bigger package size. But it was the exact same product. Multiple lolly…
Why YSK: Because the last thing you want is to get your cute matching tattoo with your SO (which I dont recommend) only to find out from your medical minded friend that the rhythm on your tattoo is a lethal one For those that don't know, the little boop.... boop.. machine that prints out your heart…

Why YSK: Many people fuck it up because of this. They miss chances, they miss experiences, and they miss on discovering themselves or the world. It will be hard to deal with this, I know, but there is beauty to it. And I know it's not easy, but you have to be aware of it. * When you don't want…
Why YSK: Its very easy to ruin your life in various ways, but a lot of possibly younger people here seem to think its a very minor thing. Intentionally forcing things into other peoples bodies, through deception or force, its extremely serious. Your intention is irrelevant. Warped humour under the…
Why YSK: Aggression during arguments is very dangerous and often leads to much more damage and problems than the original cause of the conflict. Threatening to hurt people or damage things, or worse, to actually hurt people and damage things will get no one anywhere. Aside from direct injuries and…
Here’s why YSK: This great idea is especially wonderful for anyone with an older or elderly person in their life: Take them on a tour of all their old haunts! Using Google Maps Street View, you can take them almost anywhere in the world where they used to live, go to school, favourite theatres,…
Why YSK: Abused kids have nothing to compare the lives to besides fiction (tv, books) and they literally cannot comprehend that the way parents/patental figures treat them is unacceptable. It is normal to them, even if it feels wrong & they can't put their finger on it. It is usually not until…
Why YSK: people are getting more and more divided on almost every topic and strong emotions can arise very easily. To avoid that and create a much healthier public discourse, pay close attention on how you pose the question. The best way to generate a productive confrontation is to be empathetic in…
YSK that touching your dog (Messing with their paws, looking in their ears etc.) can save their life
Why YSK: Some dog owners can look at their dog while they are in the middle of a health crisis and not KNOW it is a health crisis, especially with things like dog bloat. Messing with your dog's ears, paws, tail, stomach, etc. will also help you with grooming them, as they will be used to you…
Why YSK: An acronym can stand for multiple things, depending on your frame of reference. CASA for example stands for the Canadian Alliance of Student Associations, The Canadian Agricultural Safety Association, the Canadian Automatic Sprinkler Association, and a whole host of other things.
Why YSK: If you are contemplating becoming a veterinarian, it is important for you to know what you are getting into. There are unique stressors in our profession that make it very difficult emotionally. If you are a pet owner, you need to understand that veterinarians are there because they want…
Why YSK: Your donations should be better informed. if you're considering donating yours or your loved ones' body to science, you should be aware that you can't really dictate where it actually goes. The hospital will let an outside broker sell the body for a profit. There is very little regulation…
Why YSK "Do what you love and it'll never feel like work" Might fit some people, but they are a minority. It's good to be realistic about your goal. Research jobs in your area that you're interested in and see what they are paid for before going to college. Have a clear idea, you don't want to get…
Edit: If you want a book recommendation I recommend “How to Deal with Emotionally Explosive People” by Albert Bernstein. I read this as a 19 year old trying to understand why my dad exploded at us so much and it made me realize I was also headed down that path of exploding at people. I read a bunch…
Why YSK: It’s good to bring awareness on this topic and can hopefully help lead to more positive relationships. I understand kids can be very frustrating to deal with or even annoying at times. However I see a lot of young adults or older people who have a super strong disliking toward kids for…
My elderly mother received a call the other day from a man claiming to be a Texas State Police Officer. He claimed that her social security number had been identified in a number of fraud cases in the state and asked for her social and other information to confirm. We called the social security…
Note: this YSK is mostly for Americans Why YSK: By knowing the right tool to use for one of the best known furniture chains, you can avoid wasting time needless replacement parts or repairs. So after nearly ruining a patio chair, I did some research and discovered that for a lot of their screws…
Why YSK: it’s common to buy suits for an event like weddings or interviews, but unless you’re dropping a boatload of money on the suit it is unlikely to fit you very well. Tailoring also isn’t expensive like you might think and it really adds an extra level to your presentation. Here (nyc) I can get…
Why YSK: tax filing companies claim you can file taxes for free but then force you to upgrade to a paid product if there is any complexity to your finances. You are 100% entitled to filing for free, but it’s just not widely communicated. TurboTax claims it can file your taxes for free but that’s…
Why YSK that the screws that come with most deadbolt strike plates are ridiculously small. We rent a house, so it’s hard to justify investing in a home security system or new locks. However, the screws for the deadbolt strike plates were only about 1/2” long. I replaced them all with much thicker 4”…
Why YSK: Whenever people are shopping, they don't pay attention to the items located on the bottom of the racks; they just look directly in front of them to search for products they need. However, lets say that you are looking for corn. The corn that is located in front of you (if you look straight)…
Why YSK: Major updates like this one come with a slew of new features, tweaks, and security updates. Head into settings and press "Last Update". Even if there's no notificaiton there, press it and a long list of details of the update will be present. The update will download automatically, so you…

Why YSK: Especially if you live alone, this is important. If you're in an accident and unable to communicate, or god-forbid worse, it might be a while before anyone considers checking on your home. Your animals will need to be taken care of and fed. https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/pet…
Why YSK: Writing helpful product reviews helps out manufacturers, sellers, and consumers. Unless you are able to rate each step in the purchasing process individually (sales advice, website, pricing and purchase, product, shipping etc.) you should base your review on the product's own merit. I see…
Why YSK: I work for a huge package delivery company and I cant tell you how many packages I have had to take back because its unclear if your house is 1906 or your neighbors is. Turn by turn directions are not supposed to be used where I work. Just put a larger version of your house number in the…
WhyYSK - Even if the person on the phone knows the first 8 numbers on the card, your bank, and your last name, it’s probably a Phishing scam. Legitimate calls will encourage you to hang up and call the number on the back of your card. Phishing calls encourage you NOT to hang up and to stay on…
Why YSK: There are many people out there who are willing to give a chance, because they feel like they were given a chance. However, they expect the ones in front of them to be aware of it, and ask for it. I have been given a chance by my first manager, after a 1h interview, in a different country.…
Why YSK: I have purchase inferior products many times based mainly on rating alone until I wised up. Internet literacy (the ability to discern between truth and falsehood, gossip and vital information [I'll leave this for another post]) is going to play a critical part in humanity for decades to…
Why YSK: An inflated life jacket takes up more space than a non-inflated life jacket, making it harder to fit through the emergency exits and leading to congestion when trying to escape. Also you run the risk of drowning as the life jacket floats to the top of the cabin. A textbook example of this…
Why YSK: Computers are typically expensive, and with the economic issues challenging the country right now. Having access to a solid computer for school / work purposes can be challenging. A lot of schools went online recently, and people living in underserved communities struggled to provide…
Why YSK: Therapy seems like a luxury because the rates for people without insurance are crazy high, but a lot of therapists recognize this and will offer you a heavily discounted rate if you talk to them about it. I know with everything that’s happening in the world a lot more people are realizing…
Why YSK: I work an engineering job and occasionally get a room to myself to run a plating machine. Here I can freely work with my mask off and place it in my back pocket like I normally do. I had chipotle the night before and was omitting a higher frequency of deadly gas without even realizing my…
Why YSK: This version actually has an ending! The game includes an extra piece that you place on the board, the One Ring. On one of the die the 1 is replaced with the eye of Sauron. Every time a player rolls this particular die eye-side-up, the ring moves forward one space. If the ring makes its way…
Why YSK: In the USA, a sync license (a license that allows you to use a song along with a video) is not compulsory. That means the copyright holder is not legally required to give you a license like they would be if, for example, you performed a cover of the song live, or played the song in a…
Why YSK: Because in this situation most people will look for a gas station or restaurant first but because of current world situations those places have shut their restrooms down. Home depot and target are all over the place and can be easily found. To that extent walmart qualifies for this post too…
Why YSK: Right now, many unsuspecting parents of young kids are bringing home puppies, only to realize that raising them all together is a Herculean task. Dogs are man’s best friend, and we have a romanticized idea of puppies “growing up with our kids.” Ironically, puppies and young children…
Why YSK: When your dog gets away from you, chasing it is not always the best idea because they can run fast and far and easily get away from you. Instead, call your dogs name in a playful voice, and say something like “come and get me” and make them think it’s a game, and run in the safest direction…
(1) Take a regular screenshot, (2) tap on the preview, (3) click on “Full Page” at the top right corner.

Why YSK: There are many reasons someone may choose to not participate in a specific celebration (religious reasons, conscientious, personal choice, etc). That is a decision they have made and asked you to respect. You may have good intentions and don't want them to feel left out, but it's that…
Why YSK: If you’re wondering why your food is always coming out of the microwave rubbery, tough, and otherwise gross, it’s probably because you reheated your food improperly. The “time cook” and “power level” settings are your best friend. If reheating something that you don’t want to ruin (like a…
Why YSK: I think people simply may not realize when they’re blinding other drivers. If you can tell that your lights are lighting any of their mirrors, this means the driver is blinded, and it could make it extremely hard for them to see (especially the side mirrors that don’t have a tinted mode).…
Why YSK: I was a Manager in the Customer Service/E-Commerce industry for over a decade, companies will almost always blame the low-level employees for a negative survey, even if the customer is upset about things completely out of an agent's control. If you've got an issue with the company or their…
Why YSK: I've seen people read, or look up random pieces of information when they were bored. Helping them remember it, even years later. Not saying it'll work for everyone, of course. But get a globe or a map of the world. Get encyclopedias, get random books to read, or puzzles/crossword…
Why YSK: A lot of well-intentioned people stigmatize being fat, believing that it will help encourage healthy weight loss. Many people justify fat shaming by saying it's for the person's health. People perpetuate stereotypes that fat people are "lazy, weak-willed, unsuccessful, unintelligent, lack…
Why YSK: because recently a lot of people were crying murder when told that they can still be tracked in incognito mode. First, let's undestand what is the incognito mode meant for? The incognito mode was introduced when people getting caught based on their browser history was a thing. Iirc, it…
