Go Social shares very unorthodox life hacks

  • Go Social has shared hilarious gallery of life hacks from round the world

Sometimes in life, the only thing you can rely on to get yourself out of a bind is your own ingenuity. 

And these photos from around the world shared by Go Social certainly prove that there’s no problem that can’t be solved with a bit of thinking and some DIY.

One bright spark managed to create their own makeshift toilet, using a wooden seat and a traffic cone, while another attached a whisk to a power drill when their hand mixer broke down. 

Other unorthodox tricks that might be best avoided include balancing a coffee cup in the centre of a roll of brown tape, stuck to the dashboard instead of investing in a proper drinks holder, while another inventive soul cooked pepperoni slices on an iron. 

From drilling holes in a coin to turn it into a button, to taping a hand mirror on to the side of the car, it’s possibly for the best if you don’t try these tricks at home.
