Ask Lemmy

If you're clumsy, do a grappling martial art like wrestling or Jiu-Jitsu. After 6 months even if you still suck at that martial art (e.g., me) your nerves and muscles will know how to move shockingly efficiently.

If you have the hiccups, putting a facial tissue over a glass of water and drinking through it will fix them.

I thought it was the stupidest thing I'd ever heard, but I tried it and it works pretty much every time. Paper towels can work, but aren't as effective

An easy trick to immediately get a better posture when walking is to pretend that you have laser cannons attached to your nipples and you are trying to zap people you meet in their faces.

You are the first person I have ever met (other than my mom, who I learned it from) who does the "sleep upside down" thing. It totally works!

If you feel like you are about to sneeze, but you don't want to (maybe you are on a video call, or trying to be quiet, whatever), tickle the roof of your mouth with your tongue. It works surprisingly well.

you can avoid sneezing and convert it into a cough by opening your mouth and forfully coughing, better than having snot fly all over.

Cold rinse after a hot shower makes you healthier.

I flip around when I can’t sleep as well. It only works sometimes for me.

This probably isn’t very useful to most but you’d be surprised how much info you can get from paying attention to the smells around you. I use odor for navigating places like malls.

I already do the sleep upside-down thing, I've told people it helps but they never believe! I am gonna try the hiccups cure from this thread though, nothing else works.

If you ever hurt yourself, you can hit yourself in the nads so that the other part of your body that hurt don't hurt anymore.

When you feel a sneeze coming and you don't want to sneeze, press the tip of your tongue firmly against the roof of mouth. Works nearly every time!
