368. Life-Saving Aspirin Hack 🫀

Ever heard that taking aspirin during a heart attack can save your life? It's true, but there's a catch.

To get the life-saving benefits, you must chew the aspirin rather than swallow it.

Chewing delivers the effects fastest through blood vessels in your mouth. Avoid using enteric-coated aspirin, as it works slowly even if chewed.

Aspirin inhibits platelets in your blood from forming clots, which can block arteries during a heart attack.

By chewing, the aspirin gets into your bloodstream faster, providing quicker relief and potentially saving your life.

369. Germ-Free Toy Cleaning 🫧

Children’s toys are a breeding ground for germs. Here's a simple hack to disinfect washable toys like Legos:

1. Throw your kids toys/Legos in a laundry bag to keep them contained.

2. Run your dishwasher as usual (without any dishes).

3. Remove the Legos before the drying cycle, letting them air dry completely on a towel.

This method also works well for other treasures like seashells, dish brushes, rags, and sponges.

370. How To Win At Darts 🎯

If you’re looking to get a high score at darts, the best place to aim is at the 14 on the left hand side of the dart board.

Most professionals have a standard deviation of 5 millimetres when they throw, this is why you see them aiming for the 20 at the top of the board.

But amateurs like us have a standard deviation of around 85 millimetres, so by throwing at the 14, your misses are more likely to hit the 11 and the 9, as opposed to the 1 and the 5 that surround the 20.
