Life hack for the potato Rose idea- you can ACTUALLY plant the potato, with the Rose still stuck in it in the ground, and you can grow a rose bush from that single rose and potato. Cut the rose a little shorter, stick in the potato, dig a hole big enough to cover the potato and water it. A rose bush will grow of the same color as the rose. My mother in law has a garden full of these! Amazing really- it was a trick her grandmother taught her.
No kidding! That is really cool! I know my ex used to work at a marina, and was a master at saving plants that were dying and sick corals- he could take the tiniest sliver of something and seemingly bring it back to life! i see the rose in the potato thing as being quite similar!
An old gentleman I used to 4 wheel with always brought desert for our lunches. He would bring ice cream, but he did not own a cooler. The old gentleman would wrap the box of ice cream in several layers of wet newspaper, then place the contraption in a paper grocery bag. 6 hours later the ice cream would still be frozen. Physics! Yay!
Modern life is built on using current technology. I'll admit, when I tried to imagine the step between cellars and fridges, the ice box, it blew my mind, that you could actually keep food around that way. Apparently ice itself was a uniquely American venture, that had to be marketed. Probably why Brits drink beer at room temp.
OMG That poor boot. You completely misunderstood what you were supposed to do. The trick is for new leather products. It strips off stuff from the initial manufacture allowing the leather to take the polish better. You're supposed to immediately polish the boots after you stripped it with the lemon.
Oh, excellent! This'll help when i get new Docs. Did you know that brand new leather boots do not feel like leather at all? It feels like plastic. I got my first pair in december 2010. Still going strong, except for the crack in the front where dumbhead me stepped too close to a bon fire.
Shawn Stafford it’s been so long I can’t be sure if it was the UK or China.. All I remover is that my grandpa made a comment that they weren’t made in the US
@Shawn Stafford I tried that too and it worked but I applied to isopropyl to the inside of the show where it was a bit tight and packed it with newspaper. The inside of a banana skin rubbed onto the outside of a pair of DMs then buffed off works a treat too and gives a lovely shine .
TIP FOR ANYONE WITH A STAIN: put a little shampoo on the spot with the stain and rub the shampoo in. I usally fold over the stained area and rub against itself. Then wash it away! (my mom taught me this and i got gravy out of my white hoodie, and sharpie out of my shirt)
I pretty sure you completely misunderstood the lemon/boot thing. I think the acid in the lemon is meant to break down and roughen up the smooth leather surface of a NEW boot to allow polish to adhere to the surface better. That's all. Nothing to do with cleaning or dirt.
You know what's funny? You used the wrong kind of ink. if these "lifehacks" are from 100 years ago then they used fountain pens or dip pens. which uses a completely different kind of ink. this ink will stain anything and everything for ever.
mr Molasses I don't give a fuck. it's still the wrong ink. Do understand that fountain pen ink is much much thinner than ball point pens and stains much worse than ball points pens? fuck the milk think about the ink
Put the wrapped bottle into your freezer for 10 minutes after the flannel is wet. Your bottle will become wayyyy colder, faster, and you won't waste a bunch of water by running it for 10 minutes...
Yes, and my tip is for NOW. Unless you have a Time Machine :p I realize the premise of the film, but there's always going to be people that start doing shit, based on these videos.
dear sweetie person - my grandparents had a very good flower shop - using scissors to cut the stem crushes and bruises the plant. it is better to cut it on a slant with a very sharp knife. a vegetable knife is fine. :}
And you have a maximum of 17 seconds to get the cut flower into water or the potato, before the cut seals up. 👍🏻👍🏻 (My parents owned a flower shop, I grew up working there. Len Busch, a famous grower and developer of roses, taught us about cutting with a sharp knife, at an angle, using only warm water, and that timing thing.)
thank you, I love flowers and this is a tip I did not know!! I always cut them under water so air soes not go in the stem....only water does. does that make sense to you?:)
These cards were found inside packs of cigarettes 100 years ago. (In the UK at least.) There were many different series ranging over a multitude of themes and were/still are highly collectable.The company, Gallagher, was founded in Ireland and in 1896 had the largest tobacco factory in the world, in Belfast. I remember walking along York St. (Belfast) in 1970s and almost being overpowered by the aroma of Condor Pipe tobacco, boy did it smell good! (Japan Tobacco became the sole owner of the Gallaher Group on 18 April 2007, in the largest ever foreign acquisition in Japanese history - WiKi)
Inks have changed drastically since the early 1900's. Petrochemicals were added to darken & add better contrast against the paper; alcohol & derivatives were added for quick drying.
4:00 card read NEW boots are hard to polish. Rub lemon on NEW boots and it’ll make them easier to polish! Rub lemon on old dirty boots and it’ll clean them.
taters are cheap and the flower preserving idea is great. also for anyone who uses crickets for fish bait, a few tater wedges in your cricket box will keep them alive as long as you want
Removing the ink stains with milk - in 1916 they were talking about fountain pens and liquid ink, not ballpoints, and they were talking about a linen handkerchief, not a polyester or other synthetic fabric. When I get ballpoint ink on fabric, the best thing I have found to remove it is hairspray.
That's because the hairspray partially fills in the surface damage that the ballpoint itself did to the fabric. The milk DID get the actual ink out, though, but couldn't do anything to repair the physical damage.
I think they were talking specifically about 'new' bread still warm out of the oven. I bake bread at home and can vouch for the fact that it is VERY difficult to slice thinly. I'll give the warm knife idea a try.
parris cromwell milk is treated and separated much differently than before. The enzymes and fats are completely different. Pasteurizing changes the protein structure, and kills enzymes. Deactivating them. Also, don't believe enzymes help? Go to the store and actually read the laundry detergent boxes, many advertise enzymes to help. Milk is not just milk. 😉
Anonymous Entity lol, back in the day they used to drink raw milk. They didn't have cows confined in the city so disease wasn't as much as issue. Pasteurized milk has no active enzymes, the protein structure (both of which are required for this trick to work) are completely changed our desires from the heat, as well as straining, and separating fat, cream, (1,2%, homogenization, etc). It is different in the sense that makes the hack work. 😉
To the second one, it wasn't about regular pen ink from today, it was for fountain pen ink which is alot more likely to spill and is not like a gel, but rather like water but black.
The trick is to put the rye under a heavy stone with a stick through it and have a mule or a captured enemy tied to that stick walk in circles till it's ground to a fine flour.
1st hack dont move try to pull out the nail by levering the hammer on its vertical axis, lay it over on its horizontal axis so that the nail bends over the side of the hammer
the milk hack works best on calligraphy ink because modern pens weren't around at the time. calligraphy or fountain pen ink is the most similar yo the ink of the time. I know cause I manage to dip my hoodie sleeves in ink all the time.
The milk DID remove the ball point ink - the milk fat bonded with the ink and swelled up and it came out of the fabric. It was NOT able to remove the marks the ball point itself made in the surface of the shirt, however. Ball point pens tend to etch the surface of the media it's used on, EVEN IF THEY ARE FILLED WITH Fountain Pen, or Calligraphy ink...it's similar to writing with a knife. That's why some kids make homemade tattoos using ballpoint pens (not a wise thing to do); the ballpoint actually cuts through some of the layers of the skins and deposits the ink beneath the surface.
That's because the older type of ink was made from organic chemicals, while modern inks are not. Milk works best on organic pigments rather than synthetic ones.
What, you don't "plunge your knife into helpless bread" ? I bet you're one of those modern city slickers that don't have the stomach to kill your own bread, so you get the farmers to cut and bag it for you ;)
@@jlsmith4054 Cloning is super easy, just by a rooting agent. It's like 5$, cut the piece u want to clone, cut the bottom of the clipping at a 45 degree angle and make sure that you scrape the sides lightly with a blade, kind of lightly removing outer skin, now dip it in water, than dip the clipping in the rooting powder, tap off the excess, either put in a jif pellet or you can just put it in a glass of water, keep away from the light and wait a few days, a week at max and than BAM!! roots. After that just plant in your foxfarm or happyfrog soil and you know the rest😉👌. Than again you sound like you got a few tricks up your sleeve.
Agreed. I wish I'd seen this video yesterday, as I made bread and had a heck of a time trying to slice it fresh from the oven. The gluten in the bread sticks all over the knife. My solution was to coat the knife with cooking spray. Not exactly a 100-year old hack, is it? LOL
You never slice hot bread. Destroys the gluten bonds and smashes the bread. Bread Back then was sold unsliced and you had to slice it yourself. This hack of course will work for any unsliced bread, but for the love of God, never cut into hot bread!
This trick works for almost anything that doesn't fit. Eg, you work doesn't fit in your life. Just pee on your boss and you don't have to worry about it any more.
The ink stain trick would not work well on today's modern ink's, conventional ink's of the day in 1916 did not dry immediately as they do now and took time to soak in.
The ink one would have worked better if they had used fountain pen ink as they would of had in 1916, modern inks are made differently but even so it was good to see it worked to a certain degree.
Minecraft Nerd Bravery Squadron It went out of the bottle because there was a lot of fizz, so be bent over and the fizz went down and landed on his back.
Sci Show recently put out an episode about how we only recently figured out HOW washing machines get clothes clean, and it seems that whilst detergent binds to the dirt, it can't get out of the fibres by itself, making the rinse step necessary. Assuming the milk legitimately binds to the ink getting it OFF the clothes, it should just requires a good rinsing to get it OUT of the clothes.
The bread hack is actually talking about FRESH bread -- as in, still warm from the oven -- which is super hard to cut into functional slices. The loaf of bread in the video is clearly rock-hard, as opposed to the "soft, yielding new bread" referred to on the card.
Some of these cards were actually created with troops in mind. British soldiers were issued packs of cigarettes with cards like these. Some were pretty girls, some were tributes to the soldiers themselves (with cards featuring artwork and commendments of, say, the tank corps, royal artillery or red cross) and some contained 'life hacks' and advice for men who were living with limited supplies and experience. Unofficial trench newspapers, produced by the soldiers themselves, also provided tips for each other, such as the best stitches to use when repairing uniforms or how to make your own earplugs for use during heavy shelling.
Hahaha! 🤣 I cant tell you how many times I've written "taters precious" and "bread (which we forgot the taste of)" on shopping lists. I like leaving them in the cart after I'm done grocery shopping and imagining people's reactions. I just hope they smile :)
To be fair, at this time fountain pens were used: it would have been water based ink and not the oil based ink that you would use in a modern ballpoint. Go to Staples and Grab some Parker quink if you want to retry this..
i found using the tablets to soak dentures in to clean hair dye and other colorful stains from sinks' tubs toilets & counter tops too. was surprised it worked on the purple hair dye my daughter put in her hair while in the bathroom then wandered around the house waiting for it to be ready to rinse out then rinsed it out in the kitchen sink. so i had purple all over the house the polident tablets work better than the generic brands did.
@@SurprisedSniper420 I worked at a bottler. You are incorrect. The machines aren't sentient you fucktard. They have to be set up by a human. Change the bottle/s and you have to set the machine/s up for that particular bottle size/shape. People who have zero experience with something shouldn't comment on it. You just make an ass out of yourself. Humans aren't perfect and no machine will ever be perfect because.... ...humans create the fucking machines you ignorant child.
@@troynelson8896 Who hurt you? Obviously someone, based on your rude and angry rant. Sure, machines have to be set up by humans, but once set up, they are much more reliable in regards to things like applying labels straight. There's a reason machines are used. Sniper didn't make an ass out of themselves, you did. They're right - most likely, the label will be straight. They never said '100% because machines are alive'.
The ink stain hack.. firstly the biro ink is something entirely different to what the hack is supposed to fix, secondly vigorously rubbing with a sponge was not part of the og hack and is a stupid idea with any stain, thirdly the particles that appeared after rubbing are bits of the cotton fabric not ink particles. Good try but each of these vintage hacks was wrecked with new age technology and idiocy
a troll ❗️You beat me to it..., as soon as he suggested the rough sponge, I quit watching the video and scrolled down to leave a comment (something I rarely do). [1] What a WASTE of milk; [2] A rough sponge will cause the fabric to “pile,” (when used as a noun), are the little nubs that form on most fabrics that most folks try to get rid of, not create (there’s a little handheld battery-run device that will remove them [I bought one last year]). This is the most inane suggestion I’ve ever heard of❗️ He should move it to the end of the video if you wants people to watch it all. [3] There’s an easier, more practical, and probably cheaper way (if you figure in the milk, as well as the t-shirt that will be ruined): It’s called Carbona Stain Devils #3-it removes: ballpoint pen, crayon, felt-tip pen, pencil, and roller ball ink. They make formulas for any type of stain-I’ve been using #3 for as far back as I can remember.! It has never failed me..., even on upholstery when I couldn’t access the back of the material! The directions sound really strange because they want you to ‘tap’ on the stain, not blot it. It comes in a little yellow bottle but be sure to read the directions. There are also a gazillion different ways of removing ANY type of ink stain if you Google it-most include common, everyday household products-NOT EVEN 1 of those methods included a rough sponge!
As I said above; the milk hack worked, on the ink itself. What it could NOT remove was the surface damage caused by the ballpoint itself. Old style pens allowed ink to just flow with no physical damage to the surface of the media. Ballpoints use friction (especially since the little balls rarely roll smoothly) which damages the surface. It's like writing on a pad of paper with a ballpoint; the next few pages also have the message embossed into the surface.
human the ink in ball point pens is a gel based thick ink where 100 years ago fountain pen in was liquid and was comparable to water in the way it flows
@@marybowling27126 A lot of times there's nowhere else to put it. At least, that's true for me since I work on a farm (I don't do this at the moment, and would never do it while I work with food, but it's still useful).
@@BH-nu6nd I recall my grandfather always having one in his pocket. I would watch my grandmother wash them... good lord- you have to love someone A LOT to wash their blood, snot, mushed bug guts and what have you, out of a square of cotton. 😉
Try cutting the roses underwater with a wire cutter, at an angle. This cuts it without squashing it and allows water into the rose and prevents air bubbles from stopping water absorption. Try putting a few drops of food coloring in the potato to give you some unusual colored roses.
Was from my thought as well, actually. With a lever that short, good luck. Proper framing hammer would have popped that thing right out no sweat with a small block if needed to prevent marring of the substrate.
