The thread, posted by the Twitter user ᴏʟᴜᴍɪᴅᴇ (@mideysmith), shows a series of pictures in which people from across the world show easy hacks to do a myriad of tasks, be it painting, watching something on your phone while flying, riding a bicycle or eating at a wedding.
These pictures of clever hacks have gathered over five lakh likes since they were posted on Tuesday.
A Twitter user commented, “My father used to say that if necessity is the mother of invention, then laziness is the father of innovation 💡”.
Another person wrote, “Like they say.. Laziest people are the best inventors cause they somehow find a way to complete a task with minimum efforts and time.”
People also shared their own easy hacks. “For those who have eye problem can’t see far without lens..if you want to read or see far distant object just take your camera and zoom in 😂,” a Twitter user advised.
