Two Kind-of-Important Life Hacks YOU Should Know!

Hey! It's been a while since I posted a non-guitarist safe post :P

Now I'm going to share two things you ought to know, and these (should) work everywhere.
I'll just copy and paste the first one because I'm saving my energy hahaha xD

1. How to distinguish a real mirror from a 2-way mirror (i.e. they can see you, but you can't see them)? > especially in toilets, bathrooms, hotel rooms, changing rooms, etc.

Conduct this simple test:
Place the tip of your fingernail against the reflective surface and if there is a GAP between your fingernail and the image of the nail, then it is a GENUINE mirror.
However, if your fingernail DIRECTLY TOUCHES the image of your nail, then BEWARE! IT IS A 2-WAY MIRROR!

If there is 'NO SPACE, LEAVE THE PLACE'

But this is not 100% accurate. Here's a better trick.

Light up the mirror with a flashlight (phone flashlights are okay). If it's a 2-way mirror, you'll be able to see the other side.

Moving onto the next one!

2. How to distinguish real ice cream from fake ice cream? > this is based on my experience with no research whatsoever beforehand so it might be wrong :P

I don't know whether it should be real/fake ice cream or premium/standard ice cream or yummy/yucky ice cream but whatever it is, I'll just use real and fake because... they both only have one syllable? ._. I'm no food expert and I mostly eat food given to me but here's a thing I noticed.

What I'd call a real ice cream is the ice cream that will stay cold after it's inside your mouth. I'm guessing because it contains more milk so the cold stays cold when it's in the mouth. Fake ice cream, on the other hand, is cold in room temperature, but when it gets into your mouth, the 'coldness' will just disappear... and it feels warm inside your mouth. And it leaves some sticky feeling on the teeth and tongue too. I'm guessing that's because it's made out of freezed cream. Like, cream. Not fresh milk.

Then again, the second one is just a postulate. That's why I often joke about eating a popular local ice cream brand but never actually eat them for a second time (because it falls into my 'fake ice cream' category) :D
