Best Lifehacker Opinions of 2019
This year we had many opinions, each one perfect, but some more perfect than others. Lifehacker employees talked among themselves and decided that these are our best reviews in 2019. Thank you for agreeing.
Terrible money tip to ignore

Every sponge is bad
Nick Douglas

Thickening your taco cookie with taco roll is ok and good
Claire Lower
“It’s not interesting to look at the forbidden soup. If I had to name the Pantone color after this soup, I would call it “uninspired vomit.”
Don’t be the “answer guy”
Claire Lower
“A guy answering questions, in his simplest form, is someone who answers in hopes of getting attention, usually talking about himself. Instead of consuming, appreciating and (possibly) retweeting content, they should relate it to their life, experience and worldview – they should make small edits, even if they are not part of the editing process. “

This Thanksgiving, stop dishonoring food
Beth Skoreki
“This, by the way, includes children. They have 364 other days to eat vegetables. Don’t force them to eat more. Don’t talk to them about your food worries. Just let them eat their damn buns in peace, like everyone else. “
The pie dough does not need to be cracked
A.A. Newton
“Kneading the dough is as easy as shelling pears; all you do is simply bundle cold fat and flour together with a little water. “
Worrying about “bulky” muscles in women is sexist bullshit
Beth Skoreki
“There are suitable women with every body type imaginable. Workout can give you Michelle Obama’s arms , or it can make you fucking torn apart . Where you get on this spectrum is more or less under your control, but you have to understand how everything really works. “
Should I give my child “salad frosting”?

Have a successful first date by planning the same date every time
