This is deeper in the den with dangerous day. People
always seem to be surprised when they see crazy drivers,
even though the same story every day. This explains that,
according to a new survey from Triple A, ninety six
percent of American drivers admit to performing at least one
aggressive driving behavior in the past year, stuff like running
red lights, speeding, tailgating, honking, and cutting off other drivers
(00:23):
on the road. The data shows that cutting off other
vehicles and honking out of anger is up from back
in twenty sixteen, while tailgating and yelling at other drivers
is down. Eleven percent of drivers in the study said
they've also engaged in violent actions like intentionally bumping into
another car or confronting another driver. Study found people under
the age of sixty and people with household incomes of
(00:45):
over one hundred thousand dollars or more are most likely
to drive aggressively. So just be careful out there, watch
out for the other guy, and especially if the other
guy is me. Deeper in the ti well, you know,
a while back, I saw an old video you pretty
much everybody tying their shoes backwards. Now I've switched to
the correct way, and it's been amazing, So that would
(01:05):
be my contribution to this. Somebody asked the Internet, what's
your don't knock it till you try it life hack.
Some of the best responses include the mammalion diving reflex.
You just splash water on your face while holding your breath.
Triggers the nervous system to slow your heart rate and
redirect blood to your vital organs. Some pretty good stuff.
Frozen towels also making the list. Put a damp paper
(01:28):
towel or regular paper towel in the freezer for a
few minutes and use it to quickly cool down your
face and your neck. Heating towels also don't knock it
till you try it life hack. If you're reheating meat, pasta, rice,
or pizza in the microwave, put a wet paper towel
over the food. It keeps it from drying out. Folding
laundry while watching trash TV, or forcing smiles and by
(01:49):
the way, the study showed smiling broadly for a minute
every morning when you're alone, like in the shower, tricks
your brain into thinking you're happy. Homemade takeout after burgers
or sandwiches after you make them, wrap them in wrapping
paper like a deli or takeout would do. Set them
down for ten minutes. It really lets things come together
and marinate. Other don't knock it till you try it
life hacks. According to this cheese, it's in soup instead
(02:12):
of crackers or goldfish crackers, in chili, grilling a peeb
and jay sandwich like a grilled cheese, potato chips in
your deli, or tuna fish sandwich. Freezing grapes, and that's
something I did when my kids were really young. Make
little ice cube grapes or great for summer. They're also
good for chilling your wine. Now that I'm older, green
granny smith apples with sharp cheddar cheese. Haven't tried that.
Here's another hack they say that don't knock it till
(02:34):
you try it. Putting toothpaste on mosquito bites. They disappear
or at least don't itch within minutes. Somebody added heat
up a spoon until it's warm, press it on the bite.
The heat nix is the protein which makes it itch.
A pinch of salt in coffee or a pinch of
salt in watermelon, and using scissors or kitchen shears to
cut up Pizza another one that made the list. Don't
(02:55):
knock it till you try it. Hack pilates great for everyone,
but life change if you're over fifty. I have to
admit I've never done pilates, but in college I did
a few, uh pilates. Tune in again for another episode
of Deeper in the Den with Dangerous Dave right here.
