Sharpen blunt scissors with aluminum foil.
You can avoid discarding blunt scissors with a little help from aluminum foil. Start by tearing a piece of foil measuring at about 12-inches, and fold it a few times until it’s 6 layers thick. Use the scissors to cut through the foil several times to sharpen it. Note that this technique will only work for slightly dull scissors, not for damaged blades.

Lyddy, if you work in a toothpaste factory and the toothpaste tube cutter isn’t working then you’ll know precisely where to cut the tube.

Tips on how to use things properly are not "life hacks." That's one of many words/phrases that've been used so much they've lost all meaning.
#2 Who even uses rubber gloves anymore? Are we in the 50's?
#4 Does anyone actually have a piece of aluminum foil laying around just to cut with your scissors, or do you just buy a new pair like everyone else?
Come on, man. These things are dumb...

#2 The rotation of the hand should be opposed to the direction of the fingers. Just like the tool used to unscrew the oil filter.
In other words, in order to open a bottle, keep the lid with your left hand and the bottle with the right hand, and switch hands to close it.
