Life is full of problems, big and small, and everyone has to deal with them. Running away from them to a remote island won’t solve them; the pesky darn things seem to know how to get around, constantly finding a way to haunt us. Most of us mortals don’t have the money for it in the first place.
So we have to solve them. And, believe it or not, we can do it even without having all the answers. All it takes is a little creativity. And to show you that human ingenuity has no limits when it comes to making life easier, Bored Panda has compiled a list of clever life hacks. Can’t cut an onion without tearing up? Put on your ski goggles. Don’t have a coin for a supermarket trolley? Use a round-headed key instead. In a way, I guess, we’re all engineers, applying rational thinking to develop solutions. We just need to remember it.
