3. Soda cans are filthy, but if they're particularly gross, they can usually be rinsed before opening. On the other hand, I grew up where there was a separate tap for drinking water, and drank out of the hose. I have an immune system that would rival that of a scavenger.

You missed one. On the left side of the steering column of all automobiles is a small lever. It's not just for decoration. It's actually meant to be used to to turn on the flashing lights in the front and back left or right side of your car to let other drivers know you're about to make a turn. They're called blinkers or indicators and that little lever there is the indicator switch. ;-)

No, the drawer under your oven is NOT a warming drawer. Many manufacturers simply do not intend it to be used this way and have insulation in the oven to prevent heat from reaching this area. You have to read the manufacturers instructions. My oven's instructions, for example, specifically stated it was to be used for pan storage and not for warming purposes.

Jeans used to have rivets in the crotch seam because that's a stress point when riding horses.

[@retrozetti]

Two quick mentions… 1) Though the word “pom pom” has been “dumbed down” in recent history, to the point it’s now used 50%+ of the time, and accepted beyond colloquial English… it’s historically (correctly) spelled “pompon.” Yes, one word, no space nor hyphen, and ending with an “n.” 2) Those genius tabs you push in to hold in place rolls of foil & plastic wrap… I’ve personally tried relying on them multiple times, only to always have it end in tears and cussing. In short, they’re worthless & useless. However, in closing, you guys ROCK!!!

[@caseyspeaks6380]

In Canada we wear toques with pom-poms. Toques keep the head and ears warm but doesn't need the pom-pom; beanies only cover the top of the head - and generally had little propellers.

[@danaroy6410]

The Pom poms on winter hats in the north are actually used to wipe off ski goggles, which is why they are on many ski and snowboard companies hats.

[@app103]

If you have a screwdriver with a hole that runs through the top of the handle, from one side to the other, that's for inserting a 2nd screwdriver, to give you more torque.

[@pamelasabados3627]

My husband and I were both today years old when we found out that handles of most screwdrivers are made that way to allow use of a wrench to provide torque. 🤯🤯

[@mrthiefy]

like many of these hidden 'secrets' in this video the screwdriver was meant so that you could bloody grip the thing. it just so happens that the perfect size wrench can also grip the bloody thing. just like how a spaghetti spoon has a hole in it to let the water out. and if it's the exact perfect size hole then you can use it to measure spaghetti. there is no way in hell that is what it was designed for.

One other gem.... If you have a pot of spaghetti or what ever that is about to boil over, simply place a wooden spoon across the top of the pot. It will stop the bubbles and water from floating over the top.

You can lay your utensils across your pots and pans when they're boiling water to disperse the surface tension of your liquid that is boiling so it doesn't boil over. essentially you are popping a bubble before it gets over the edge.

[@alcarey8084]

This doesn't really work.

[@sandybruce9092]

Yes it does work! I was taught that about 1,000 years ago when I was young! We used wooden spoons way back then and it does work!!! Perhaps the person who said it didn’t work wasn’t doing it correctly - you lay the spoon/utensil across the top of the pot!!!!!

[@thenoeticskeptic5819]

The metallic mesh on a microwave completes what is called a faraday cage. It's the same reason someone dressed in a mesh suits can interact with electricity because it is surrounding them instead of penetrating them

[@mrthiefy]

Many stoves do not even HAVE a warming drawer. And in older stoves the drawer is only for storing pots and pans since the drawer stays cold no matter what temperature the oven is set for, so in order to know if it IS a warming drawer you have to check the owner's manual or try to keep your food warm and see if it works.

Holes in hampers make the hamper dandy for repurposing for Trash bags, as removal of the trash bag is much easier. No vacuum is created thus making it easier to pull the filled bag from the container.

A laundry basket & a hamper are 2 different things. Hopefully, the basket is what clean laundry is put into.

Another is the hole in the handle on pots: yes, it allows for hanging, but it's also for putting rounded spoon handles through at 45° angles: let's say you have a liquid ingredient like gravy, soup, or sauce. Where do you put the spoon so it's NOT in there the whole time, but yet so it's also convenient to use for stirring? It's also for hygiene: stirring spoons get dirty the second you set them down and you don't want a bunch of debris to get introduced. The angle works with gravity so you're NOT potentially contaminating food.

Fun Fact: That little pocket in your jeans built next to your front right pocket of most jeans was meant to put your paycheck in AFTER you pay taxes.

[@blackdandelion5549]

Do you mean the very small pocket in the right front pocket of your jeans? It was actually for pocket watches. Before anyone wore them on their wrists you needed a place to store them in your pants as even people who wore jeans and worked needed to know what time it was. That is why the pocket was so small, but easily accessible and built in for everyday purpose. From 1879 the 5 pocket jeans advertised by Levi's Strauss included that small pocket you are referring to named a fob pocket and was considered to be the smartphone pocket of it's day. It was used for pocket watches. Per Levi's Jean Co. It was originally called a "watch pocket" and the "fob" or watch leash would attach to a man's belt by clip. In it's original form in the early 1800's it was solely a watch pocket until the jeans were started to be worn by more and more men in other professions such as cowboys, miners, factory workers, etc. and the pocket was then used for other things and referred to by other names such as frontier pocket, condom pocket, coin pocket, match pocket and ticket pocket.

I used to work in a plumbing and remodeling company ( as t tile setter) and one of our customers was a man who had been a part of the creation for that 2nd hole in a sink or bathtub. That was the beginning of modern sanitary plumbing. I don't recall the year, but it was t mid 20's to early 30's, when a massive cholera outbreak hit Chicago. He was in the city engineering department and was there when they found that it had been caused when a nurse in the infectious diseases ward had left dirty bed pans in a sink w/ the water running. when t water mains had a pressure drop, That had sucked contaminated water BACK into the water mains. Aterwards, Chicago building codes required all faucets to be 1" above any waste water, and all sinks+/ or tubs to have that 2nd hole to prevent contamination of potable water again. Also the city installed anti- siphoning valves between the main and supply pipeline systems. FYI

Soda pull tabs were not there to keep the straw from wiggling around, plastic straws get pushed out by the carbonation & make it impossible to get a sip, so the tab keeps them from constantly working their way out of your drink. They didn’t have metal straws when this invention was added. Silly…

If you notice the big veggie knife is designed for more rocking with a front back motion. Meat trimming...well I use 4 knives. Small pairing knife (silver skin), fillet knife (trim hard to reach fat), standard straight knife ( bigger trimming/portioning) And, the 4th is the cleaver (disjointing)....almost never use might I add.

The only one of these I never knew was the hole in the elevator door. I guess that's because I don't have elevators to use every day.

Maybe I just have a knack to figure things out with things I use. Thanks for sharing to the unknowing.

#10... Levi's had a rivet at the crotch, too, way back when. President Theodore Roosevelt was a great outdoorsman. He was squatting by a campfire when the crotch rivet got a "bit" warm. The President was VERY uncomfortable. His complaint to the Levi's company got that rivet eliminated.

most ovens that drawer is only for storage. it does not even get warm one bit. as for people who call it for broiling, that is at the top of the inside of the range. the bake element is at the bottom of the inside of the range. heat goes up. in order for that drawer to get warm it would need an element inside of it which some newer ranges have but older ones do not.

margins on books are also great for taking notes and it can be pretty hard to read inside the seem of a book, even to this day the common website design has tabulation so the text doesn't start right at the edge of the screen

The chuck Taylor's with the wholes on the side are just for air flow not lacing

Laundry basket holes - they also make the basket lighter without losing structural integrity. I don't know if it helps the air flow - cloth over a hole does a pretty good job of stopping air.

As a Brit I eat mustard that comes in proper glass jars with a lid, but I have discovered a Polish mustard, that is mild and has a beer like taste, and comes in a bottle that is a little glass, beer glass with a plastic cap on, like the Nutella jars that are also glass, drinks glasses. Next time you open a jar of bottle of any food or drink, you may notice that they all have some protective film or disc on the lid. The only exception appears to be bottle corks, but even those are actually designed to be a good fit to their bottles and the outside the bottle end of a natural cork is covered or coated. I suspect US soda cans are filthy, because you don't have strict cleaning rules about food selling or serving premises as is common in the UK. My oven doesn't have a warming draw, but it is an electric oven, with a top convection oven and a bottom fan oven and solid rings, all of which retain heat after being switched off.

British soda cans are just as filthy. The filth comes from them sitting on store shelves or in soda machines, where dust, debris, and all kinds of critters trample over them. That’s not an American thing.
