7. Use rice to dry out electronic devices.

That's actually incredibly useful. I bet a friend of mine would have liked to know that this summer when he accidently brought is Iphone into the pool with him. After a frustrating hour trying to revive it, he decided instead to smash it into pieces.

blacksharpiemarker: That's actually incredibly useful.

Yeah, I used that trick to save an iphone dropped in a toilet a year or so ago. Instead of putting it just in a bowl, you want to stick it in a ziplock bag on a windowsill that gets the sun and change the rice every few days.

It worked, but it smelt of piss afterwards.

Cyno01: Thats an awesome tip for the grinder. IDK what happened to my second grinder, just up and disappeared sometime, i dont mind a little coffee flavor in my spices, but as much as i love cumin, i dont want it in my coffee, and thos grinders are a biatch to clean.

Gotcha. You don't like the taste of cumin coffee.

It's good in the facial serum.

10. Breast forms. Stuff the foot of an old pair of tights with some rice, tie off and snip. Not uber realistic but sufficient heft and movement to at least be usable for a cross dresser on a budget.

As 1 in 10 men are statistically likely to be a cross dresser of some description it's technically a common household use for the substance to my mind.

Birdseed is much better.

So I hear (wouldn't know) but rice is the goto for when you don't have bird seed.

Maybe rice just wants to be eaten. Why are we forcing this rice into some identity crisis. The box of rice doesn't say, look at the things you can do with rice, it just says rice. That's all it needs to be. Rice is tasty.

But the box of rice talks to us, it whispers to us at night of all the dark things it's seen and done. Like your mom, sister, brother, dog and the neighbours cat.

Never trust rice. It's evil. You have been warned.

i've been using rice glue to make kites since i was 6.

it's better than putty for this because it doesn't soak the paper.

hmmmm... kites. maybe i'll make one these days. it's been years.

12. Give yourself food poisoning.

Most people don't get ill from eating chicken these days, it's the bacteria that can grow on improperly stored cooked rice that gets them. Allegedly anyway.

8A. Build the Great Wall of China (new window)

/in case there's a horde next door

Glue? Can't possibly hold a candle to this:



Put mixture of granulated tapioca (not the mix, not the pudding) and water in the microwave for a few seconds. Make sure you put it on whatever you want to glue, because it's never coming off. Do not overcook. You might wind up boiling over and on the walls of the microwave, and you'd need a new microwave at that point.

Petit_Merdeux: 4. Use rice water as a facial serum.

Now ladies, we all know what the best "facial serum" is!

Who doesn't know that though? The trick is you have to let it dry for a day or more depending on how wet the phone got and the battery needs to be removed or turned off immediately.

Almost SPIT my coffee all over my keyboard when I read this! Bravo!

Rice is great if you're really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something.

Ever tried removing the battery from an iPhone in a hurry? Or at all for that matter?

csb: Dropped my iPhone in the lake (well technically I dropped my tacklebox in the lake, but it was all the same to the iPhone) and even though I then moved faster than what I would have though humanly possible to pull the phone out of the water the damage was already done. It wouldn't power off manually and the battery is impossible to remove unless you're at a workbench with some specialized tools and a careful hand. So instead I had to stand and watch as the phone recreated the last scene from Terminator 2 as the terminator is lowered into the slag pit and its screen goes all garbled

It works best when you remove the battery first. Oh wait.

Whereas my droid, I was able to put my fingernail in a little slot and pop the back off and the battery out in 3 seconds.

Real Farkers use it to make 막걸리 (Makgeoli).

Drink your rice!

we've got some rice farms in louisiana. although a lot of that rice goes to supply box rice for the rest of the country, some folks around here really like good rice and grow it for goodness

are sandbugs lobsters, or some other form of langostino?

/ btw, langostino is the most controversial word on the planet. more people have died fighting over the word langostino than any other word in the history of mankind... however, the most controversial letter is the iota.

I remember the naming having something to do with what hemisphere you live in.

So I hear (wouldn't know) but rice is the goto for when you don't have bird seed.

Ghastly swears by flax. Holds its shape better apparently due to the flat seeds.

3.Add it to all your salt shakers

Stop doing this, folks. It doesn't absorb moisture, it just breaks up the salt clumps. Then the rice breaks up and clogs the holes. Use popcorn instead, it's not likely to break up and clog the holes.

I shall pass that along, personally I went with massive doses of Estrogen and grew my own.

Well yes that is all well and good if you are transitioning, others just CD a bit or never could trans fully. Hope it is going well for ya :-)

Moonk: Hope it is going well for ya :-)

Ya know something they never tell you? They'll grow faster than your movements can adapt. You WILL slam them in a car door. You WILL wish someone had kicked you in the happy sacks... because that hurts LESS.

Other than that all's good.

/I am neither alone or uncommon in managing to catch them with a car door.
//Sometimes the FAIL comes naturally.

I hear it's also great when you're really hungry and you want two thousand of something.

I also heard of a case where six thousand ants dressed up as rice and robbed a chinese restaurant. But I don't think they did it. I know a few of them, and they wouldn't do anything like that.
