Your Daily Dose Of Life Hacks

View this email in your browser What's up life hackers,  It's officially Friday! And let me be the first to congratulate you on getting through another week. It's time to chill out and take some time for ourselves. I hope everyone has a great weekend and I'll see you guys back here on Monday.  Here's your daily dose of life hacks...    (2303) The Perfect Poop Angle When the Squatty Potty made it's television debut on Shark Tank, a lot of people chuckled, but the device that's pretty much just your average plastic stool, went on to make over $33 million dollars. This is because it brought attention to a health concern that no one wanted to talk about, and that's your poop angle.  According to a Japanese study, the data showed that the ideal poop angle is 22.5 degrees, with our hips flexing at 60 degrees (as seen in the picture above). What this does is straightens out the rectoanal canal, and takes a lot of strain off the sphincter. In other words, the closer you are to these angles the easier it is to poop! Now do you really need the Squatty Potty? Absolutely not. Any stool/stack of books/etc that has a height of 7 or 9 inches will suffice.  (2304) Find Bird Species In Real Time If you've ever wondered what kind of birds are chirping in your neighbourhood then this app might be right up your alley. BirdNET is an app that will recognize almost any bird in real time. The Cornell Lab of Ornithology used a massive database of bird calls to construct an algorithm that could decipher certain frequencies and patterns in bird species. In some cases it will give you a percentage of chance between two species, but if you ever try and trick it with your own whistling it will display "Human, almost certain", trust me, I tried.  (2305) You Can Eat The Stickers On Fruit  Did you know it's completely safe to eat the stickers on fruit. Almost every fruit in the supermarket has some sort of labelling on them, but if you've ever panicked because you took a bite of the sticker, don't worry.  All of them are food grade. Even the glue used to put them on is food grade. Although I still wouldn't recommend eating all the labels the next time you're at the grocery store.    (BONUS) Quickie Hack   Sincerely, Keith Bradford   Want to submit your life hacks?
