It took me 52 years to figure out my wife keeps me around to reach things off of the high shelves in the kitchen.

I was in my 30's when I learned about the gas arrow. I check with people regularly, to see if they know this. I would say 40% do not.

I just learned something new today.

Did you know that there are little tabs on the sides of the boxes that hold plastic wrap and tin foil and such? You push them in, and they hold the role in place, so you don't have to fight and cuss at the damn role as you try to pull out a bit of plastic wrap. My niece pointed this out to me the other day as I was fighting with and cussing at a damn role of plastic wrap.

The only thing better than that is these puppies. The slider changed my life.

It will probably 3 hole punch also. I've printed off several 1000+ page spec books and let me tell you. What a time saver.

I'm just as amazed by this lol. Imma have to try it next time I'm in the office.

No idea on the pop can!

That's not really what the tab is for. People have been making tiktoks claiming it, but it's really to strengthen the tab. The fact that a straw fits is just a happy coincidence

i've now checked every printer in our office, and none of them have this functionality. i believe i was just on a snipe hunt. thank you for wasting my time today.

I was at least 30 if not 35 when I learned a chick pea and a garbanzo were the same. Coincidentally I learned a nsfw joke about that a short time later.

It's a setting on your computer in the printer preferences, are you sure?

I learned that an empty stapler will open a stuck window.

I am proud to hear that someone on here knows what a snipe hunt is?

Snipe are furry little critters that can only be found while being accompanied by the fairer sex.

Now I feel better about myself.

Ok I’ve cross checked every cpu in our office now with every printer. In fact, this is a snipe hunt. I’m going home

I was in college before I knew the Elton John song was saying "hold me closer tiny dancer". First 19 or 20 years of my life I thought it said "hold me closer Tony Danza".

That reminds me of my all-time favorite Christian Rock hit, Neil Diamond's "Reverend Blue Jeans"
