We’ve all tried out life hacks at one point or another. In principle, they’re a great way to save time and money and get shit done.

There’s just one problem – in an overzealous effort to repurpose old crap, some people have taken the whole ‘recycling’ thing a little too far.

Because when you’ve replaced your bicycles’ worn out handlebars with used dildos, it might be time to ask yourself, “who have I become, and why do I have so many of these things?”

 

These 15 questionable life hacks should be taken with a grain of salt – or, in some cases, a shot of penicillin. You’ve been warned.

Because acquiring a cart is so much easier than just buying a fucking grill.
