Which Life Pro Tip disappointed you? (self.asklemmy)

For me it was "buy high quality pillow" because you sleep for one thrid of a day etc. I needed a new pillow anyway so I came to the store and bought the best they had. And it was ... ok. Like it's a fine pillow but my sleeping haven't improved really, it's basically the same. So I was disapointed :(

So, which life pro tip disappointed you?

Repeating the name of the person you were just introduced to remember it. As in "Hello EfreetSK, nice to meet you". Doesn't work for me, writing it down afterwards does if I can still remember it

Same with passwords. I keep stressing to people to write it the fuck down. Nobody can hack you if you write the shit down on a piece of paper as opposed to relying on electronic devices or anything online that can be broken into.

I only remember most of my passwords because of muscle memory, my fingers just strafe around the keyboard for it after entering it enough times.
