The human is an imperfect being. Without tips and tools, he is not able to survive. This is what inspired him to make the greatest inventions of the last millennia: he made clothes from animal skins, created means of transport using wheels and invented the Selfie-Stick.
However, among these achievements there are always failures. Here are some examples of the dumbest tricks?
1) We immediately recognize those who have a talent for DIY.
2) Spare wheels wear less quickly if you use a tree trunk instead.
3) “You are having a dinner party but you are short of cash? Surprise your guests with homemade mints. Freeze the toothpaste and cut it into thin slices. It is beautiful and it gives you fresh breath . “

7) “Tip: I don’t have a lot of shapes, so I stick sanitary napkins on the side of my panties and put my clothes on.”
8) Walls can be painted in seconds using a fan.

20) Safety first!
