MODERATORS
Honestly I can't remember an LPT I got use out of. I think the format tends to draw inane platitudes rather than actually good life advice.
Almost every "life pro tip" I've seen has been either ridiculously common knowledge (LPT: wipe your butt after pooping!) or weirdly specific recommendations (LPT: most frozen ravioli or tortellini can be cooked in a bowl of water in the microwave (this one is literally on the front page of the subreddit right now!)) or just straight up ads.
There are two I use frequently.
Cutting the top off the chip bag after you eat down a certain amount so that the chips are easier to access.
Opening up the white ketchup cups to hold a greater amount of sauce.
