Thanksgiving is nearly upon us, which, for those of us who avoid family during the holidays, means it’s a day dedicated to staring at your television or laptop’s screen for hours at a time. If you aren’t in the holiday spirit, perhaps because you’re spending it alone, we get it. Still, you don’t want to forget about…

I have made many cocktails in my time, but I am absolute garbage at remembering ratios. For that reason, I really appreciate recipes that call for equal parts of ingredients—even I, with my very scattered brain, can remember something like that.

Eating a mango is like taking a mini vacation in your mouth—all of a sudden, you’re transported somewhere sunny and warm, even if you’re not. But as tasty as they are, they can be a little tricky to cut up. Luckily, this instructional video demonstrates how to cut off big, clean slices from a mango around its flat,…

For reasons I will never fully understand, the only part of pie-making that anyone tries to hack is by far the easiest. Mixing pastry dough could not be simpler; all you’re doing is barely binding cold fat and flour together with a little water. It is not a process that needs hacking.

Using two-factor authentication (2FA) is a smart, simple tactic to add a little extra data security in your life. For those unaware, 2FA is when you use a secondary authentication method—like code generator apps or Bluetooth keys—to validate your identity when logging into a website or app. There’s a similar version…

Kindergarteners have a lot on their plate. They’re getting adept at recognizing letters and numbers, they’re counting in sequence, they’re learning how to sound out words and then they’re learning that many words in English can’t actually be “sounded out.” Words like “their,” “know,” “who” and “does” are among…

Feeling a little guilty about how much you’ve saved (or haven’t saved) for retirement? Maybe you’ve actually withdrawn money from your retirement accounts well before your golden years. Well, you’re far from the only one who’s made this move.

Credit card rewards can be redeemed for all kinds of things: statement credits, flights, hotels, gift cards, charitable donations, merchandise, and more.

I just lost at chess to Bobby Fischer, three times in a row. Then for a change of pace, I lost to Magnus Carlsen, world champion since 2013. Then I lost to the lowest-ranked player I could choose, 15-year-old Abhishek K. Over 29,000 people can play chess better than Abhishek. I cannot.

If there’s one thing that grinds our gears here at Lifehacker, it’s when personal finance gurus declare that the easiest way to spend less, save more, and rack up riches is by giving up coffee. “Why are you spending $5 a day on a latte when you could be investing that money?” they demand to know, instantly shaming…

As I begin to type this, I am haunted by an old comment—a comment from my xoJane days. I don’t remember what article the comment was on, but I remember the message: “Jesus Christ Claire, have some freaking self-respect.” It was a good comment, a comment that is as relevant today as it was then, for I have eaten the Tac…

I thought the office was haunted. The piercing whine of a cat, or a baby, coming through the vents. A machine from the construction outside the window? Oh god, probably a dying mouse in the ceiling. I brought in our deputy editor Alice to listen with me. “I heard that!” she said. She went back to her office; I crept…

So far in our weird lifts challenge, I’ve asked you to do a one-handed deadlift and a one-handed dumbbell snatch. Now here’s a relief: for this week’s lift, I’ll let you put both hands on the barbell. We’re doing Jefferson deadlifts.

Sure, it’s great to make a to-do list, but how do you prioritize the tasks—especially when everything seems like a priority? Instead of getting overwhelmed, you need to learn how to prioritize your priorities. Yes, that’s entirely possible, and we’re going to tell you how to do it.

My son has learned a lot from his martial arts teacher—so many wonderful lessons about respect, discipline, determination and confidence. But my favorite take-away from the past two years of his training: Kids don’t mind doing a bunch of push-ups, sit-ups and jumping jacks if you let them roll giant dice across the…

“What song is 10/10, yet hardly anyone has heard of it?” redditor depressinqq asked. AskReddit users replied with 435 songs. Redditor BubblyBullinidae put them in a Spotify playlist.

Last year, we wrote about the troubling problem of Airbnb rentals with hidden cameras, spying on guests. (Back in April, a family even found a hidden camera live-streaming their stay at an Airbnb in Ireland.) But in our latest edition of Hack or Wack, we ask another important, related question: Would you willingly…

Though the initial mania surrounding the Instant Pot has died down, the fans remain loyal, and the recipes keep coming (though at a slightly slower rate). Most Instant Pot praise focuses on how fast you can cook things, but its speed isn’t what makes it a Thanksgiving hero. The real benefit to cooking things in the…

Breaking bad news to our kids is awful. A divorce, a serious illness, the death of a pet, the death of a family member ... there are all kinds of difficult things they will experience in their lives that we can’t fully shield them from. We have to tell them because if we don’t, someone else will; and it’s always…
