YSK that putting anything on the airbag of your steering wheel will become a projectile if you crash and can seriously harm or kill you or a passenger.

Why YSK: An airbag typically deploys at 100-200 MPH and if your phone is sitting there it will be launched towards you and probably impale you. Don't put your phone on your steering wheel over your airbag. Don't put any alternate logos or bedazzling on your airbag. Basically don't do anything to or put anything on your airbag...

YSK you can easily escape the new post avalanche bug by viewing the 2nd page of posts

Why YSK: I use the web version of Lemmy both on desktop and mobile. By going directly to the 2nd page of posts, I get rid of both the neverending stream of new posts and of the same old posts that keep sticking to the 1st page. It works for all the filters: active, hot... No need to scroll down, just change the number in the end...

YSK Why American-style suburbs are a Ponzi scheme ( www.youtube.com )

The financial unsustainability of traditional, car-centric American suburbs, consisting mainly of single-family units, is a critical aspect of the problem of urban sprawl. The design of these suburbs necessitates constant expansion into undeveloped land. This is because the initial infrastructure costs, such as roads, utilities,...

YSK: This service needs more content creators, and you can invite them.

Why YSK: We have a significant number of users now, and yet the amount of content to scroll through is still fairly small. This is because not all users are the same, and while the majority prefer to lurk, and a much smaller minority prefer to comment, the percentage that really likes making posts, memes, art, rants, videos etc...

YSK that if you have an air conditioner you should turn it on before you need it.

Several years ago I waited until the first hot day of summer to turn on my AC. This is how I found out about one of the busiest times for repairmen and had to sweat for two weeks. Now I do a test run a couple of weeks before it heats up. Same goes for the furnace at the end of Autumn.

YSK: Transparent images can look great on Lemmy

Why YSK: Transparent background images often don’t look very nice on Reddit, but they can be quite sleek over here. For some examples just look at the profile pictures of mod list for this community on the sidebar. They also work well for communities. Be careful to pick colors that aren’t too dark or too light, and which...

YSK: If you reply to a comment, you should probably give it a vote

Why YSK? Comments you reply positively to, should definitely get your upvote. Comments you disagree with should be at your discretion. Trolls deserve downvotes (seriously, they live for those). Disagreeing with someone in the midst of a good discussion doesn't necessarily warrant one, and might deserve an upvote. Even if you...

YSK hands, feet and the upper part of your face are the most effective vectors of heat relief, while draping a cold towel around your neck can actually stop you from cooling down. ( www.scientificamerican.com )

Why YSK: "Our bodies have a kind of emergency temperature relief valve. That valve is a special type of blood vessel: they’re called arteriovenous anastomoses. Most arteries and veins connect through a bed of very thin capillaries that bring nutrients and oxygen to cells. AVAs, though, are different. They are direct junctions...
