"Anything you can do, I can do better." This is what we humans have been saying to each other probably since the beginning of time. Anytime you have a problem, it's likely that at least a dozen people have found the solution. These people go by the honorific name "life hacker." Or, someone who is so crafty that they're been able to quickly and ingeniously solve a problem that most of us have. In the following photos though, the people here are probably too busy being proud of themselves while not noticing that we're all laughing hysterically at them. These people have technically created a life hack - but is it something you'd try? We'll let you figure that out on your own.
1. Finding The Perfect Way To Stay Cool
When it gets incredibly hot outside, you get the temptation to go to the beach or swimming pool to cool down. But there is something else you can do.
If going to the beach is not an option, or you don't own a country club membership or a private swimming pool, this is something you should try. It may not be a spacious option, but it'll do the job.
2. The Next-Gen Speakers
If you decide to throw a party, don't bother investing in a sound system. After all, a sound system can get super expensive.
Even if you don't want to spend money on an iPod docking station, there is no need to worry. All you need to have are a couple of plastic cups and you're good to go.
3. Sunday Morning Breakfast
The smell of sausages and bacon on a relaxing Saturday morning makes you feel like you're living a great life.
And the best part about this breakfast is that you don't really need an oven to make it. All you require is a clean iron to prepare a mouthwatering breakfast. You can thank us later.
4. No Boat? No Problem
If you like fishing and don't have a boat, or you're interested in having a regular fishing boat, then you can go with this hack to have some fun while fishing.
All you need to do is take a wooden picnic table in the middle of a lake to spend some quality time with your friends while reeling in the catch of the day.
5. Why Rent A Limo When You Can Make It Yourself?
Renting a limo for a few hours can cost you between $270 and $650, depending on the limo size.
Going to prom in a limo can make the entire experience more fun and memorable, but we still feel that this limo is far more “legen—wait for it—dary.”
6. Guide 101 On How To Plan A Wedding On A Budget
Some people don't want to spend a lot of money on a fancy wedding which guests will most probably forget in months if not days.
So if you also want to go for a simple wedding, try tying the knot at a local waffle house. You can invite a lot of guests and it won't cost you a lot. Moreover, the money you'll save can be used on a memorable honeymoon.
7. The Best Way To Bake Cookies
There's nothing more delicious than freshly baked cookies. And don't you dare say that you disagree with us.
Baking cookies without electricity or any equipment is possible and all you need to do is place the tray in your car on a hot day and let the sun do the baking job for you.
8. Please Say Yes!
This lucky lady got a unique prom proposal and we don't think there is any reason for her to say No. After all, the guy knows how to get down and dirty to make his lady happy (no pun intended).
We got to admit that it is quite impressive how he used a muddy pickup truck to propose.
9. A Makeshift Swimming Pool
It seems like this family didn't want to go to the beach or a swimming pool and decided to create their makeshift swimming pool.
We feel that it doesn't look good, but if it worked for them, then that's what really matters.
10. Pool And BBQ Combo
Images like this one show you how anyone can make the most of life. These two guys look like they're having the best time and enjoying a hot summer day without a worry in the world.
After all, they are relaxing in a swimming pool while barbequing. They know how to kill two birds with one stone.
11. A Makeshift Mansion
We have seen how rich people live in mansions, right? Not all of us have the money to afford a fancy mansion.
After all, that didn't stop the people in this neighborhood as they have created their own mansion which looks pretty good.
12. Hey, At Least They Tried
It seems like the owner of the gas station didn't have the energy or money to fix it, so they decided to use duct tape.
It is not safe, but we still think that they deserve some applause for the attempt to save the foundation of their building.
13. Need a Girlfriend...But Only On One Condition
The dating situation became so dire for this person that their last hope was to put on a board that clearly says, "Girlfriend Wanted." But what makes it so funny that they have one very important condition: she needs to have a boat.
It makes us wonder if this person wants a girlfriend or just a boat that comes with a girlfriend.
14. A Military-Style Wedding
A bride wearing a white gown and the groom wearing a tuxedo is so outdated and boring, right?
Well, that's what this beautiful couple thought, and they actually did something to change it. The couple's military-style camouflage may look a bit awkward, but it seems like they don't really care about it.
15. For The Sake Of Staying Hydrated
We all know it is extremely important to stay hydrated, especially when you are doing physical activity in a place that gets really hot.
So, this lady knew how to overcome the staying hydrated problem. We can only hope that she managed to make it to the end of the block.
16. A Recipe For Disaster
Although we try our best not to be pessimists, we have to admit that we can't look at the bright side here.
This DIY duct tape coffee holder seems like a recipe for disaster. Now let's just hope that the coffee is lukewarm.
17. Don't Worry, It Is Completely Safe
It doesn't look like an ideal travel situation at all. We even have a strong feeling that it is not safe. But hey, we are no experts here.
We know only one thing that it is best to pray whenever you notice something like this in a budget airline.
18. Wait, What!!!
We completely understand that getting customized orthopedics for your shoes can be really expensive. Instead of saving up money to get customized orthopedics, this person came up with a low-budget solution.
All that this person required was a basic feminine hygiene product to do the job. That's some creative thinking right there.
19. Backyard Pool Idea
A lot of girls like to take pictures by the pool only to upload them on their social media accounts. This young lady couldn't do it as there was no actual pool in their backyard.
So, she came up with a perfect way around it and we're super impressed. You go girl!
20. Ingenuity At Its Absolute Finest
Hey if it looks stupid but it works, it isn’t stupid. Although it seems like they got a bit carried away, we still feel that it delivered the desired results.
If you have any easier and cooler ideas to trim the hedges, please let us know about it.
21. Rooftop Relaxation
Why go to a tropical island to get your tan on when you can simply put your sofa up to the roof and enjoy a cold beer.
This person knows exactly how to live a life of luxury without spending a lot of money. You should give it a shot sometime.
22. A Usual Dreamcatcher
If you don't know what a dreamcatcher is, well, it is a handmade willow hoop hung over a cradle as protection.
But this dreamcatcher is odd and we have a lot of questions to ask. Still, we think it’s better to leave it be.
23. Perfect Pregnancy Announcement Doesn’t Exist…Oh, Never Mind
As people worldwide find new ways to announce the news of pregnancy, we think that this one is the best.
After all, the guy didn't want to take any responsibility and his "side chick" decided to do something about it. By the way, how many of you didn't notice the broken window of the truck?
24. Does The Truck Run On Coal?
If you ever wondered if there is a reason why the government regulates the automobile industry, this is one of the reasons. Nevertheless, it is the DIY wedding décor that may impress some people.
And after watching this photo, we strongly feel that there should be more efforts to control the human population as well (if you know what we mean to say).
25. It's Not Stupid If It Works
To find that the soap dispenser ran out of soap can be really annoying. And it is a lot of effort to buy a bottle of new soap and then fill up the dispenser, right?
Well, that's what one local establishment thought as well and they came up with a far more efficient solution.
26. Anything For That Cute Smile
When your little angel needs a swing (even if you don't have a fancy playground), you need to improvise.
So, this mother did improvise in the best way by using an extra lawn chair lying around. As the little angel looks super happy, it is all that counts.
27. Why Need Clothes When You Have DIY Beer Dresses
In case you want your gals to have matching outfits, then there is no need to buy expensive dresses.
All you need to do is drink some beer and then wear DIY beer dresses and it will surely fit everyone's budget.
28. A Warm and Cozy Jacuzzi
There's no denying that Jacuzzis can be a super fun way to relax and enjoy time with someone special, but here we have an upgrade that no one saw coming.

30. How To Party Like There's No Tomorrow
Some people really know how to party and this man is no exception. As horseback riding has been part of America's tradition, it is no surprise we have to see this cringey scene.
Who knows, he might be singing Miley Cyrus' song: "I came in like a wrecking ball."
31. For The Love of Homemade Fried Chicken
You got to admit that shopping at Walmart gives you a new experience every single time you go there.
You not only get to purchase discounted items but also have some fun. You can see someone went to Walmart and found this lady with a cart filled with fried chicken. Hmm...
32. DIY Restraining Order
We know that many breakups and divorces get messy, but they don't often result in one of the partners filing a restraining order.
But that is not how this person did as they didn't want to waste their time going to court. Instead, they simply created their own DIY version.
33. Latest Table Design
Although you may think that this local homemade tree table looks funny, we will disagree with you on it.

How many of you are fans of classic TV dinner? If you are (we will assume it is the case), there's no harm in trying this one.
So in case you don't have a dinner tray, you can get creative like this person. Sometimes, we fear that humans are not capable of coming up with such innovations. It must be some divine force or aliens.
36. Hot Tub At The Construction Site
There is no doubt that working at a construction site can be really tiring. As you are covered in dirt and have sore muscles, you need a hot bath to relax the body.
So, this construction worker needed a hot bath and instead of going to his home, he created a hot tub at work.
37. Shopping Cart Grill
When in doubt, simply turn the shopping cart over and grill it out. We're sure the paint will make the meat taste much better and safe to eat, right?
Well, it is not a clever way to do it because there are chances you might poison the meat. Maybe they thought that if it works then it isn't stupid.
38. So A New Hybrid is Out?
It seems like this person has created a vehicle centipede (if you don't know what we are referring to, it would be best not to research it).
By the looks of it, we're sure this person wanted to do business in the front and party in the back of their vehicle.
39. The Best Shower Out There
As hiring a handyman can be pricey, there are some cheaper ways to fix things in your house. And you get to save money by doing work yourself as well.

Weddings should make you happy and if they are happy, we are delighted for them.
41. Relaxation Time

Although this might never become a trendy pool party ever, we think it is still a great way to relax and enjoy time with your friends.
42. A Low-Cost Homemade Hot Tub
Since most of us don't have the luxury of owning a hot tub we usually just accept reality and don't do much about it.
But this family refused to accept the reality and decided to have a hot tub for themselves. Although it looks a bit dangerous, we should admire their creativity.
43. Just Another Alabama Thing

So, these two fellas thought why go to the gym when you can just lean on a nearby wire fence? We got to admit that they pretty much nailed it.
45. Trendy Hat Tan Line
We know that girls in the past used to avoid getting bikini tan-lines, but now it has become trendy. In fact, women don't worry about it at all. We're not completely sure about this hat tan-line.
But hey, we are no experts in tan lines so who knows, it might become a trend very soon. Given how 2020 has been so far, we really need a trend like this one.
46. Show Your Team Spirit

So this fan just wanted to support his team and thought that wearing a team shirt is so common that he needed to do something different.
47. Safety Always Comes First
One of the most important road safety rules is fastening your seatbelt and we admire how this guy is following all the rules.
But there's a problem. His car hack doesn't seem really smart. In fact, replacing a seatbelt is cheaper than paying expensive hospital bills or even risking your life.
48. Please Have A Seat
A guest comes to your home and you ask them to sit on the comfortable sofa. But what if your sofa needs a good repair job? Or worse, it is beyond a repair job.
Instead of buying a new sofa, just fit a chair inside the sofa and it is good for a few more years. Problem solved!
49. High Dive Mode On
You have seen how some people didn't have an outdoor pool and they created DIY pools. Here, this guy is lucky to own an outdoor pool but he wanted more fun.
As he wanted a higher diving board, he created one which looks dangerous. What could go wrong, right?
50. Bathroom Hack
You must have heard or read that "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade." But when life gives your oranges, make a toothbrush holder.
We won't be surprised if it becomes the latest trend. After all, it is an eco-friendly solution. However, it may cause a lot of food loss.
51. An Electrical Mailbox
Instead of throwing away broken items, you can re-use them in creative ways. Have a look at this mailbox that used to serve the family as a microwave oven.
We just have one query: is it plugged into the power outlet? We hope it is not!
52. Holy Hairdresser
Alabama appears again on our list and we are not even surprised anymore. There are two salons and it can become really difficult for the customers to make a decision.
The customers have to choose between these two amazing salons. Which one would you go for?
53. Parking Space Reserved For Miss Alabama

56. Because Who Doesn't Like Macaroni and Cheese?
In the past, tattoos had a bit of a bad reputation. But they have become popular in recent years.
Tattoos like this one show that there is still a long way to go for tattoos to be completely accepted. One thing we know for sure that this person really loves macaroni and cheese.
