    From Redditor u/dino_is_greatness1:

    I had a phone that got some water in it, and all I had was rice pilaf. Little did I know that the inside packet was full of seasoning, ended up getting that in every crevice of my phone, never turned on again. Smelled delicious though.

    Adopting The "Everyman" Sleep Cycle Might Just Make You Miserable

    From Redditor u/zaiamon111:

    In high school, I tried to adopt the "everyman" sleep cycle (30 min naps every four hours) over winter break, since you need some downtime to adjust. After a week, though, I'd yet to adapt, and sleep deprivation had really started to take its toll: I barely remember anything other than not wanting to move. Basically ruined Christmas.
