The internet’s laziest life hack video promises to cut your chores in half without lifting an extra finger.

Published January 7, 2017, by the YouTube channel TheThings (then running as TheThings Celebrity), “10 LIFE HACKS Every LAZY Person Should Know” runs through a countdown of shortcuts built for one audience: people who want their kitchen clean, their dishes minimal, and their effort at zero. The video doesn’t dress up the pitch — every hack on the list exists to shave seconds or dishes off routine chores.

• The video is structured as a top-10 countdown focused on avoiding dishwashing, cutting kitchen mess, and reducing housecleaning time.
• One featured hack tells cookies-and-milk fans to pour milk directly into the empty plastic divider inside a pre-packaged cookie container, turning it into an instant dunking reservoir with zero extra dishes to wash.
• The remaining lineup covers DIY shortcuts for floor and kitchen cleaning plus low-effort meal-prep tricks, all aimed at trimming time off everyday chores.

The Cookie Divider Trick

The standout hack in the countdown solves a problem every cookie eater has run into: how do you hold a cup of milk and a stack of cookies in two hands without either spilling or dropping crumbs everywhere? The video’s answer is to skip the glass entirely. The plastic tray or sleeve that already sits inside most packaged cookie boxes has enough depth to hold a proper dunking pour of milk, and because it’s just going back in the trash afterward, there’s nothing left to wash.

One less dish to be washed at the end of the day.

It’s the kind of hack that sounds almost too obvious once someone points it out — repurposing packaging you’d otherwise throw away as a functional dish. That’s the throughline for the entire video: nothing requires buying a gadget, just seeing a household object differently.

Cutting Down On Dishes And Cleanup

Beyond the cookie trick, several entries in the countdown target the same enemy: the sink full of dishes at the end of the night. The video leans on the idea that most kitchen mess is avoidable before it happens rather than something you scrub away after. That mindset — prevent the mess instead of cleaning it — runs through the video’s approach to floors and countertops as well, with shortcuts designed to knock housecleaning down to a fraction of its usual time.

It’s a formula that plenty of quick-hit lifestyle content leans on, similar in spirit to other viral household and challenge videos that turn everyday annoyances into a countdown format — the kind of list-style production that channels like TheThings, and even other quirky challenge-driven uploads, have built entire libraries around.

Meal Prep Shortcuts For Minimal Effort

The countdown also folds in low-effort meal-prep tips, aimed at viewers who want food ready without standing over a stove longer than necessary. Rather than elaborate recipes, the hacks favor simple substitutions and shortcuts that trim steps out of everyday cooking — consistent with the video’s core promise that being efficient doesn’t require being industrious.

The tone throughout stays light and practical rather than aspirational; nobody’s being told to overhaul their kitchen, just to stop making more work for themselves than the task actually requires. It’s the same low-stakes, high-relatability formula that’s made list videos like quick novelty challenges reliably shareable — short, specific, and easy to try immediately after watching.

Ten hacks, one cookie box turned makeshift cup, and zero dishes added to the sink — that’s the whole pitch, and it’s exactly the kind of bite-sized, try-it-tonight content that’s kept TheThings’ countdown format in steady rotation since this one dropped back in January 2017.
