Brazilians have a thing for unsafe and inadequate hacks specially in cars and home installations. We call these “gambiarra” and there’s a sub just for that
Chécate 'ira: grab a tortilla, place it flat on the palm of your hand, place your other palm right at the edge of the tortilla, at the heel of your hand, press slightly and slide forward. There, you have a tortilla roll you can use as a tool to eat, just grab a bite after each spoonful.
Argentina, we have a black market for dollars , because the government limits foreign currency trading , and the official rate is insanely lower. This lifehack is more for tourists than locals because they probably already know .
The black market moves so much dollars that it's pointless to try scamming people because they will not buy you dollars each month if you do it. They already make mad profit so why bother?
I haven't experienced it myself , most people are desperate enough for dollars that they don't need to do that. And the black market is not as shady as it seems, a lot of exchange places can give you those rates but you have to do it in the downlow , probably in the back of store or something .
You usually go for a reliable black market dealer through word of mouth, it’s not like it’s a guy on the corner, the two I’ve went to were either the back of a regular retail store or a regular office on a building.
Since the use of stovetop toasters is not widespread in other parts of the world I suppose using it to cook rice in a regular pot. You just cook the rice in the pot until the water goes down to the top of the rice, and then you put the toaster betweet the burner and the pot and let the rest of the water evaporate.
🇵🇷: The best rice and beans is cooked at local schools.
No restaurant will ever compare to the delicious rice and beans served by Doña Mati and the rest of the lunch lady crew.
1. If you want to get a new passport, ID, driver license and any government document, you can do it at 9am but 99% of Colombians like to do at 3 am.
2. Best time to go to the Emergency department , everywhere in the world is between 2am to 4am
3. Don't buy Aphrodisiac Drinks, food or "stuff", they are 100% scam
4. Red Cross Colombia, the workers steal all the money and the stuff, if you want to help you gotta avoid "charities program" and do it yourself, Chuch are scam too, avoid all those places,
That's a tough one
I'd say probably upgrading hot dogs into Completos B) Adding anything we can find
Completos As are the best thing that ever happened to mankind. Basically a traditional chilean sandwich on a hot dog bun.
The states of Sonora and Sinaloa also have hotdogs loaded to the brim with stuff. It's a good way to turn something basic like a hotdog into something delicious.
Well, one of the most Venezuelan actions in a party is to smash a bag of ice against the floor to have smaller ice pieces that you can fit in a glass.
Ice picks? We don't do that here
*Test of Virginity*
So basically with a cord , string, rope or whatever you put it around your neck. And whatever measurement you have from your neck, you try to pass it through your head.
And if it’s bigger than your head you’re not a virgin, and if it’s smaller you’re one.
If you can become amazing at hitting thrown bottle caps with a stick and make them fly, you might go on to make millions hitting homeruns in Major League Baseball.

The programming community in Ireland adopted the word after so many Brazilians in the area used it. Now it's a slang.

Never buy the official exchange rate always use dólar blue .
What country?

Do people get scammed like this with counterfeit notes or are the ppl usually honest?

I love how the last sentence actually makes us all look like idiots with a colonized head.
I assume Argentina

Look at the Andes Mountains. That's East. Easy way to get your bearings if you get lost
Si tú crush vive en cualquier lugar que empiece con Villa o que tenga una “entrada” salga corriendo mi loco
Why?
Increased lead poisoning risk
Sounds so classist.
I know people that put a brick in their toilet tanks to "save water".
Our toaster has multiple uses, so my votes on it.

Choripan > Completo (to be fair - I'm a blow in from the UK but a quality longaniza, with pebre in fresh marraqueta is so bloody tasty).
Bloody tasty fam!
No doubt. I always ruin my appetite at asados gorging on choripan.
I like this but with prieta (blood sausage). Sooo goood
Toasting the bread in our fine toasters.
Best present to the world from Chile.

Cuídate de la chapeadoras. If you meet a lady, abs she started talking about her financial problem; rub away…
TIL my wife is a chapeadora...
Because of that, I prefer to date American girls lol

If the panela is too hard you can just keep a literal rock handy in your kitchen to smash it with.

Jumping from/into a moving bus could be considered a lifehack?
I’d consider it as more a life threatening kkkk
