PewDiePie explains why popular life hacks are actually \u201cgarbage\u201d Felix \u201cPewDiePie\u201d Kjellberg is more than a gamer \u2014 the YouTube king is also known for his humorous commentary videos, one of which discussed the ever-popular \u201cfive minute craft\u201d videos of viral internet fame. Internet regulars have likely heard of \u201clife hacks:\u201d crafts or shortcuts that make everyday chores and tasks much easier, such as making ice cubes out of your favorite beverage of choice, rather than water. However, PewDiePie isn\u2019t a big fan of many so-called \u201clife hacks,\u201d which he showcased during a January 1 video \u2014 most of which were completely unnecessary and altogether confusing. Amidst more humorous \u201chacks\u201d like creating your own \u201croomba\u201d vacuum out of a few small motors and a hand brush were extremely confusing crafts, such as taping one\u2019s feet to bar stools to reach high places and making a floatie vest made out of bottles and a T-Shirt. While some hacks might actually be useful, Kjellberg isn\u2019t convinced that most of these shortcuts are legitimate, arguing that many \u201clifehack\u201d channels reel audiences in with one or two useful tricks but ultimately boast an array of \u201cgarbage\u201d content. \u201c99% [of life hacks] are garbage,\u201d PewDiePie explained. \u201cThat\u2019s how it is, isn\u2019t it? They reel you in with one concept that works, and you\u2019re like, \u2018Holy sh***, I never thought of that! That\u2019s actually helpful!\u2019 And they you try and find more things, because obviously they have to know more things because they know one thing, and it\u2019s 99% microwave mailbox.\u201d The YouTuber also pointed out the ridiculousness of many lifehack video thumbnails, one of which showcased a Coke bottle with a door hatch for storing\u2026 eggs? \u201cIt\u2019s also the thumbnails!\u201d he continued, laughing. \u201cWhat is that? I guess I have to click on that, because what is that?\u201d Although there are definitely some mind-blowing life hacks out there (like strapping a rubber band around a paintcan to remove excess paint from a paintbrush), PewDiePie certainly has a point that many \u201clife-changing\u201d shortcuts are ultimately just eyebrow-raising.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
