People don’t often look back on the early 1900’s for advice, but what if we could actually learn something from the Lost Generation? The New York Public Library has digitized 100 “how to do it” cards found in cigarette boxes over 100 years ago, and the tips they give are so practical that millennials reading this might want to take notes.
Back in the day, cigarette cards were popular collectibles included in every pack, and displayed photos of celebrities, advertisements, and more. Gallaher cigarettes, a UK-founded tobacco company that was once the largest in the world, decided to print a series of helpful how-to’s on their cards, which ranged from mundane tasks (boiling potatoes) to unlikely scenarios (stopping a runaway horse). Most of them are insanely clever, though, like how to make a fire extinguisher at home. Who even knew you could do that?
The entire set of life hacks is now part of the NYPL’s George Arents Collection. Check out some of the cleverest ones we could find below. You never know when you’ll have to clean real lace!
Okay bitches are you sick of windows update fucking up your shit, bricking you computer, deleting your folders, restarting your computer in the middle of a game, and just being a Goddamn nuisance!? Of course you are, you aren’t capitalism’s doormat, fuck Bill Gates! So here’s what you gotta do first open up services if you dont know how click that little search bar on the task bar and type in services or hell just type ser your compy’s a good smart boy he’ll know what you’re talking about. Once services pops up click it to open the fucking thing scroll down until you see windows update; that’s the fucker we’re gonna kill right click on it and then click properties next to service name you should see what windows update told your computer its name is the fucking liar. mine said WUAUSERV but anyway copy that bitch we’re almost done. Now that you have copied it you can close services and click the search bar again. Now type CMD to bring up the command prompt and now this is important right click on it and select RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR if you don’t you will fail and windows update and bill gates stupid ass face will laugh at you. Once you have command prompt open type sc delete and then right click to past the name. For instance I typed sc delete wuauserv. And that’s it you have slain your demon you’re welcome.

I don’t have Windows 10 so I can’t test this, but I know several people who have wanted to deactivate updates and I’m sure at some point I’ll upgrade from 7, so here you go guys 😀
I adore how she carries his head low, at her side, and not aloft in triumph. This is not a self-aggrandizing hero lauding her great deed. This is a woman who wanted to be left the fuck alone.
Also look at her body. The double hips. The asymetrical boobs. She’s thin, but she’s realistic as hell. That’s a real woman.
In Japanese folklore, Gashadokuro, also known as Odokuro, are giant skeletons, fifteen times taller than an average person, and are constructed from the bones of people who have died from starvation. Their bones are collected into this giant skeleton creature which is filled with intense anger and a thirst for human blood. He wanders around at night, grinding his teeth and making a “gachi gachi” sound. The giant skeleton towers so high above the ground and walks so quietly that he can be almost invisible. The only warning you get when the giant skeleton is near is a strange and inexplicable ringing in your ears.
If the Gashadokuro finds you, he will reach down with his bony hand and snatch you off the ground. Then he will pluck your head off and suck the blood out of your headless body until his thirst is quenched.
