The topic came up on a Reddit thread when Felis_disapproves asked the question, “What’s something you did ‘the hard way’ for the longest time because you didn’t know there was a much easier way?”
BlankExpression24 gave the number one voted answer. They said “Literally every single thing I’ve ever learned to do in Excel stems from a situation like this.”
One Redditor stated, “Cleaning the Microwave. I struggled to scrub all the dried-up bits off then a friend told me to just put a small dish of water in it and turn it on for a couple of minutes. Everything wipes right out.”
