Life hack for the potato Rose idea- you can ACTUALLY plant the potato, with the Rose still stuck in it in the ground, and you can grow a rose bush from that single rose and potato. Cut the rose a little shorter, stick in the potato, dig a hole big enough to cover the potato and water it. A rose bush will grow of the same color as the rose. My mother in law has a garden full of these! Amazing really- it was a trick her grandmother taught her.
No kidding! That is really cool! I know my ex used to work at a marina, and was a master at saving plants that were dying and sick corals- he could take the tiniest sliver of something and seemingly bring it back to life! i see the rose in the potato thing as being quite similar!
OMG That poor boot. You completely misunderstood what you were supposed to do. The trick is for new leather products. It strips off stuff from the initial manufacture allowing the leather to take the polish better. You're supposed to immediately polish the boots after you stripped it with the lemon.
Oh, excellent! This'll help when i get new Docs. Did you know that brand new leather boots do not feel like leather at all? It feels like plastic. I got my first pair in december 2010. Still going strong, except for the crack in the front where dumbhead me stepped too close to a bon fire.

TIP FOR ANYONE WITH A STAIN: put a little shampoo on the spot with the stain and rub the shampoo in. I usally fold over the stained area and rub against itself. Then wash it away! (my mom taught me this and i got gravy out of my white hoodie, and sharpie out of my shirt)

Inks have changed drastically since the early 1900's. Petrochemicals were added to darken & add better contrast against the paper; alcohol & derivatives were added for quick drying.
taters are cheap and the flower preserving idea is great. also for anyone who uses crickets for fish bait, a few tater wedges in your cricket box will keep them alive as long as you want
Put the wrapped bottle into your freezer for 10 minutes after the flannel is wet. Your bottle will become wayyyy colder, faster, and you won't waste a bunch of water by running it for 10 minutes...
Yes, and my tip is for NOW. Unless you have a Time Machine :p I realize the premise of the film, but there's always going to be people that start doing shit, based on these videos.
Removing the ink stains with milk - in 1916 they were talking about fountain pens and liquid ink, not ballpoints, and they were talking about a linen handkerchief, not a polyester or other synthetic fabric. When I get ballpoint ink on fabric, the best thing I have found to remove it is hairspray.
That's because the hairspray partially fills in the surface damage that the ballpoint itself did to the fabric. The milk DID get the actual ink out, though, but couldn't do anything to repair the physical damage.
To the second one, it wasn't about regular pen ink from today, it was for fountain pen ink which is alot more likely to spill and is not like a gel, but rather like water but black.
parris cromwell milk is treated and separated much differently than before. The enzymes and fats are completely different. Pasteurizing changes the protein structure, and kills enzymes. Deactivating them. Also, don't believe enzymes help? Go to the store and actually read the laundry detergent boxes, many advertise enzymes to help. Milk is not just milk. 😉
Anonymous Entity lol, back in the day they used to drink raw milk. They didn't have cows confined in the city so disease wasn't as much as issue. Pasteurized milk has no active enzymes, the protein structure (both of which are required for this trick to work) are completely changed our desires from the heat, as well as straining, and separating fat, cream, (1,2%, homogenization, etc). It is different in the sense that makes the hack work. 😉
Minecraft Nerd Bravery Squadron It went out of the bottle because there was a lot of fizz, so be bent over and the fizz went down and landed on his back.
I think they were talking specifically about 'new' bread still warm out of the oven. I bake bread at home and can vouch for the fact that it is VERY difficult to slice thinly. I'll give the warm knife idea a try.
@@jlsmith4054 Cloning is super easy, just by a rooting agent. It's like 5$, cut the piece u want to clone, cut the bottom of the clipping at a 45 degree angle and make sure that you scrape the sides lightly with a blade, kind of lightly removing outer skin, now dip it in water, than dip the clipping in the rooting powder, tap off the excess, either put in a jif pellet or you can just put it in a glass of water, keep away from the light and wait a few days, a week at max and than BAM!! roots. After that just plant in your foxfarm or happyfrog soil and you know the rest😉👌. Than again you sound like you got a few tricks up your sleeve.
The bread hack is actually talking about FRESH bread -- as in, still warm from the oven -- which is super hard to cut into functional slices. The loaf of bread in the video is clearly rock-hard, as opposed to the "soft, yielding new bread" referred to on the card.
The trick is to put the rye under a heavy stone with a stick through it and have a mule or a captured enemy tied to that stick walk in circles till it's ground to a fine flour.
The ink stain trick would not work well on today's modern ink's, conventional ink's of the day in 1916 did not dry immediately as they do now and took time to soak in.
Agreed. I wish I'd seen this video yesterday, as I made bread and had a heck of a time trying to slice it fresh from the oven. The gluten in the bread sticks all over the knife. My solution was to coat the knife with cooking spray. Not exactly a 100-year old hack, is it? LOL
You never slice hot bread. Destroys the gluten bonds and smashes the bread. Bread Back then was sold unsliced and you had to slice it yourself. This hack of course will work for any unsliced bread, but for the love of God, never cut into hot bread!
Sci Show recently put out an episode about how we only recently figured out HOW washing machines get clothes clean, and it seems that whilst detergent binds to the dirt, it can't get out of the fibres by itself, making the rinse step necessary. Assuming the milk legitimately binds to the ink getting it OFF the clothes, it should just requires a good rinsing to get it OUT of the clothes.

About the milk: homogenized milk came out in 1927. Most milk today is skim and low fat. I imagine the fat has a lot to do with the removal of ink stains, and my understanding is that homogenization is the process of making all parts of the milk mix together, instead of parts. If it's not homogenized, the first part of the milk that's introduced to the inked up t-shirt would be the fat, since fat floats. This makes sense in that fat molecules would break down the ink...which...by the way...was a totally different formula than the ink we have today. Back then they used ferrous sulfate (iron salt), oak gulls, and acid like vinegar or wine.
@@marybowling27126 A lot of times there's nowhere else to put it. At least, that's true for me since I work on a farm (I don't do this at the moment, and would never do it while I work with food, but it's still useful).

I absolutely loved the video! Thank you for bringing us actual life hacks that work, but I have to ask... how did you seriously spit on your back?!?!?! 8:25
Try cutting the roses underwater with a wire cutter, at an angle. This cuts it without squashing it and allows water into the rose and prevents air bubbles from stopping water absorption. Try putting a few drops of food coloring in the potato to give you some unusual colored roses.
Another life hack from my grandmother that I know works is if someone has pinkeye put drops of milk in their eye. Do it several times a day, it will clear up in a couple of days. I've had pinkeye twice in my life and it worked both times. I've also treated kittens this way to clear up eye infections. Mothers use to put breast milk in their babies eyes to clear their babies of eye infections also.
This video led me to research nails and why they are labeled and sold as they are. I learned a lot about pennies and nails and also the milk tip is pretty cool. Will the milk remove a hand stamp?
The last trick: cooling should be more efficient by using a thin WARM/hot towel. Not using conduction of heat, but use the evaporation of water to take out the heat
If you live in the North, the bottle cooling method will work well, especially during the colder months. If, however, Florida is your destination, buy ice. Temperatures there are mild in winter, and downright sticky and steaming from March through Thanksgiving. and since the ground water is close to the surface, all you’ll succeed at doing is making your soda a different shade of warm. I never bother to turn on the hot water faucet when showering in Florida - the groundwater is that warm!

If you don't have a lemon try using malt vinegar on a cloth - that's what we used on our shoes when I was in the WRAF in the mid 1960s! Another tip for your boots, that we used, - apply a thick coat of polish and work it in with the back of a hot spoon, leave overnight or at least several hours. Apply another thin coat of polish then with a fresh cloth give them the 'spit and polish' treatment - spit on the surface and work in with the cloth, repeat all over the surface then brush up with a soft shoe brush and buff with a soft cloth. After a few treatments you footwear will have a mirror glass shine and be waterproof! Every 6 months remove the build up with vinegar and start again! This is also the procedure used by those smart guardsmen outside Buckingham Palace!
the ink you used was a modern formula. Amazing the hack worked pretty well. I have used rubbing alcohol to quickly and easily clean ink from upholstery fabric, like a couch. It even worked well on permanent marker.
The ink they where probably using was a much more liquid type. The type that goes into fountain pens, so using a ball pen wont have an effect with milk.
The hammer that was used is one typically used for tight spaces. I believe a “regular” hammer would’ve worked with the piece of wood. Maybe even just by itself.
Ok, I'm just over a minute in and I'm wondering whether you used other hammers and differing shapes of wood to try the nail removal hack. I'm not surprised you found it difficult with a stubby claw-hammer and a rectangular as opposed to square piece of wood as the counter point
I pull long nails from wood by taking the hammer to the base of the nail. And lay the hammer sideways instead of pulling it traditionally. The nail bends but comes out. Hell it takes less effort to do it this way but takes a lil longer. Works like a charm though
Another way to remove long nails is by walking it out. To do this put the claw of the hammer down as low as you can on the nail. Now instead of pulling backwards on the hammer push it sideways pivoting the hammer on the head. Then reposition the claw on lowest part of the base of the nail again and now push the hammer the opposite direction as the previous time. Repeat this going back and forth until the nail is removed.
The ballpoint ink used today is easily removed with Hairspray. Especially cheap Hairspray. Put the stain side down onto a pad of paper towels or cloth. spray the back of the shirt where the stain is in the stain will dissolve into paper towel or cloth.
A good hack for ball point ink nowadays is hair spray. I have removed many an ink splat from my husband's uniform shirts this way. The pump kind works better than aerosol. Depending on the type of ink in felt tip pens, hairspray will work as well.
The lemon one seemed like a nice thing to do with new or dirty shoes. I was surprised to see you messing about with a brick. Part of the reason why you should use a piece of wood (apart from the added height => better leverage) is that the wood you're using doesn't bruise the other wood. So you can also use really thin pieces if the nail isn't really stick out far. A brick or your claw hammer will bruise the wood.
hammer and nail, you can also just hook the nail closest to the wood surface and move the hammer sideways, less chance of smashing yourself in the teeth when the nail pops
Interesting content, I like the presentation. Some ideas to bear in mind, flowers don't need to be put in potatoes to make them last longer. Simply pop a bit of sugar in the water, and don't cut with scissors, use a knife on a slant or even snap gently.
I just wanna point this out at number 1 you gotta use a block of wood not a piece that's been broken usually a 2X4 works best in this state and not much force is required if you use a regular size hammer and not a mini you have to use more force the smaller they are
Life hack for the potato Rose idea- you can ACTUALLY plant the potato, with the Rose still stuck in it in the ground, and you can grow a rose bush from that single rose and potato.

Interesting.
Bro your hammer is 6" long. That's why you had leverage issues with the friggin nail lol
Lmao that what I was going to say barely had even any space to grab it
Little person hammer or a woman hammer.. Wrong tool for the job
A 16” long hammer is helpful and what I like to use because it is the length center to center between studs.
the old style ink was protein based the milk will eat it if it's true old style quill type ink
OMG That poor boot. You completely misunderstood what you were supposed to do.

I was thinking the same thing... I saw green room on Netflix that’s a skin head thing 🤨
Grandpa Simpson wasn't so crazy after all...
Homer is still dumb though.
That potato flower stand made me smile for some weird reason
Because that's what it looks like when mr/mrs potato head dies.
After poking flowers into a potato, you could get a nice wide ribbon and wrap it around the base, tying in a bow. Pretty!
I absolutely loved the video! Thank you for bringing us actual life hacks that work, but I have to ask... how did you seriously spit on your back?!?!?! 8:25
why was this even in the video? why was he vomiting soda? lolololol so glad someone else is confused by this.
A lot of my family freezes glass cups/mugs in the freezer. It actually works pretty well
back then they had ice boxes at the most. they had to buy ice blocks. most could not afford it but once a month. luxury.
alton Davis ThankS for the cool fun fact :3
Try cutting the roses underwater with a wire cutter, at an angle. This cuts it without squashing it and allows water into the rose and prevents air bubbles from stopping water absorption. Try putting a few drops of food coloring in the potato to give you some unusual colored roses.
The milk ink removal trick was for linen, NOT cotton. Plus milk was unpasteurized then.
Welcome to the comment section where you will find people complaining about ink and milk
hahah hahahaha
Complaint is justified.
I hear tall tales about milk coming from the underside of an ungulate of some sort! These trolls really no know bounds...
Ink and milk are surprisingly difficult to portmanteau...
Ball pen ink is not what they were talking about...
Another life hack from my grandmother that I know works is if someone has pinkeye put drops of milk in their eye. Do it several times a day, it will clear up in a couple of days. I've had pinkeye twice in my life and it worked both times. I've also treated kittens this way to clear up eye infections. Mothers use to put breast milk in their babies eyes to clear their babies of eye infections also.
How did they have ziplock backs 100 years ago
the thing about the bread is that fresh, hot bread easily tears and creates less appealing slices
Moving the cards around like that is so irritating!!!!
Vinegar and water mixture used as a hair rinse,cheaper than conditioners and clarifying stuff. Used this mix since 1950.
Serrated is gonna work no matter what and back in the day knives were SHARP
This video led me to research nails and why they are labeled and sold as they are. I learned a lot about pennies and nails and also the milk tip is pretty cool. Will the milk remove a hand stamp?
The last trick: cooling should be more efficient by using a thin WARM/hot towel. Not using conduction of heat, but use the evaporation of water to take out the heat
If you live in the North, the bottle cooling method will work well, especially during the colder months. If, however, Florida is your destination, buy ice. Temperatures there are mild in winter, and downright sticky and steaming from March through Thanksgiving. and since the ground water is close to the surface, all you’ll succeed at doing is making your soda a different shade of warm. I never bother to turn on the hot water faucet when showering in Florida - the groundwater is that warm!
7:35 everything filmed from a side angle looks leveled, haha

Ink on fabric? Saturate with hairspray and throw into wash after 10 minutes. Don't allow to dry before washing.
If you don't have a lemon try using malt vinegar on a cloth - that's what we used on our shoes when I was in the WRAF in the mid 1960s! Another tip for your boots, that we used, - apply a thick coat of polish and work it in with the back of a hot spoon, leave overnight or at least several hours. Apply another thin coat of polish then with a fresh cloth give them the 'spit and polish' treatment - spit on the surface and work in with the cloth, repeat all over the surface then brush up with a soft shoe brush and buff with a soft cloth. After a few treatments you footwear will have a mirror glass shine and be waterproof! Every 6 months remove the build up with vinegar and start again! This is also the procedure used by those smart guardsmen outside Buckingham Palace!
That hamner hahahaha 🤣
the ink you used was a modern formula. Amazing the hack worked pretty well. I have used rubbing alcohol to quickly and easily clean ink from upholstery fabric, like a couch. It even worked well on permanent marker.
The ink they where probably using was a much more liquid type. The type that goes into fountain pens, so using a ball pen wont have an effect with milk.
What the hell ever happened to common sense? people have to watch TH-cam to find out how to take a nail out of a board.
Chris Wilson 😂😂😂😂 evidently!!
U might want to cut flower stems at an angle for more surface to soak up moisture🤗
Awesome
Thanks for sharing
God bless
your ink test should have been used with fountain ink not a gel ink used in modern pens
Seeing as ink was much much different 100 years ago, I was pleased to see it all worked really well. Thanks for the cool video!
Maybe get a real hammer and not that toy...
LegenDerek yeah I think a real hammer and some muscle would have got it out first go without the brick
Just giving it a longer handle doesn't make you stronger
Yes it does. Never heard of leverage?
Or a crowbar...
@@nickel7327 no it doesn't make you stronger, but the premise is leverage, better hammer more leverage
For the milk trick you'd need to adjust the cream content as they left some in, half and half might be a better medium to try?
At 1:00, a hammer with a regular sized (length) handle, or even a kids hammer, instead of that stubby handled hammer would have really helped too.
The hammer that was used is one typically used for tight spaces. I believe a “regular” hammer would’ve worked with the piece of wood. Maybe even just by itself.
Ok, I'm just over a minute in and I'm wondering whether you used other hammers and differing shapes of wood to try the nail removal hack. I'm not surprised you found it difficult with a stubby claw-hammer and a rectangular as opposed to square piece of wood as the counter point
I then attached an onion to my belt, which was the fashion at the time.
Yayyyy! All Simpson references are welcome!
Milk back then, most likely, contained over 3.25% fat and if you used anything less than that, well.....
I pull long nails from wood by taking the hammer to the base of the nail. And lay the hammer sideways instead of pulling it traditionally. The nail bends but comes out. Hell it takes less effort to do it this way but takes a lil longer. Works like a charm though
Another way to remove long nails is by walking it out. To do this put the claw of the hammer down as low as you can on the nail. Now instead of pulling backwards on the hammer push it sideways pivoting the hammer on the head. Then reposition the claw on lowest part of the base of the nail again and now push the hammer the opposite direction as the previous time. Repeat this going back and forth until the nail is removed.
did everyone else hear his lord of the rings joke?
What's taters???!!! Lol!!!

The ballpoint ink used today is easily removed with Hairspray. Especially cheap Hairspray.
Put the stain side down onto a pad of paper towels or cloth. spray the back of the shirt where the stain is in the stain will dissolve into paper towel or cloth.
You’d have a lot more leverage with a longer hammer (handle), using both techniques and it’ll come out like butter.
A good hack for ball point ink nowadays is hair spray. I have removed many an ink splat from my husband's uniform shirts this way. The pump kind works better than aerosol. Depending on the type of ink in felt tip pens, hairspray will work as well.
I have 5, 20 pound bags of ice...I don’t think I’m going to run out of ice anytime soon😅😂
2:18 hey oh yo woah Woah don’t be downplaying the difficulty of cutting bread bruh
The lemon one seemed like a nice thing to do with new or dirty shoes.
I was surprised to see you messing about with a brick. Part of the reason why you should use a piece of wood (apart from the added height => better leverage) is that the wood you're using doesn't bruise the other wood. So you can also use really thin pieces if the nail isn't really stick out far. A brick or your claw hammer will bruise the wood.
hammer and nail, you can also just hook the nail closest to the wood surface and move the hammer sideways, less chance of smashing yourself in the teeth when the nail pops
Back in the day, milk was not heat treated. It possibly worked on the handkerchief all those years a go
Interesting content, I like the presentation. Some ideas to bear in mind, flowers don't need to be put in potatoes to make them last longer. Simply pop a bit of sugar in the water, and don't cut with scissors, use a knife on a slant or even snap gently.
I'm glad they laminated those cards (shown in the gloved hands) before planting then 100 years ago.
Also, when you bury something important like life hacks, make sure it's only about 3inch down. With enough quarters, you can measure that.
I just wanna point this out at number 1 you gotta use a block of wood not a piece that's been broken usually a 2X4 works best in this state and not much force is required if you use a regular size hammer and not a mini you have to use more force the smaller they are
This video is surprisingly calm
The info on coins was interesting , I had an epiphany lol
My other half!!!!! Man of my dreams (ha, ha...a little joking around, but seriously also!).
Ive had issues removing a nail, but the have never been that stuck. It just takes some strength and a real hammer
Alcohol removes ball point ink. Hydrogen Peroxide dissolves pine sap. Both work immediately and on every type of fabric or surface I've ever used.
