Thereifixedit.com is a site filled with dubious innovations. Some of them are cool, some of them are clever, and most of them are terrifying. Anyone who has ever stood in front of a broken household appliance with a roll of duct tape, one screw driver with a bit chipped off the flat part, and determination will laugh themselves silly browsing through this site. Maybe some of the ghetto hacks we covered before should be in this list.

lol funny
Best use yet for stock iPod earbuds?
That site is hilarious.
I must say I’m guilty of one or two of them.
Taking stabs at other hacking sites now?
Oh my god, I actually did this;

“Ghetto Hacks” used to be my favorite part of this website, it’s why I started reading it years ago, You posted about stuff you could build with just things you had lying around. Sadly there are almost no posts like this anymore, they all require expensive hardware/kits/etc.
smacking electronics around is a past time of mine; it is the ‘american’ way, after all
in this guy’s defense, if those are headphones that came with a PSP, that is about all they are good for.
those look like iPod shuffle headphones… again… that’s about all they’re good for. Good show!
ok… gotta give up props for this one

now we just need the build up pics
i guess ipod earphones will work but as soon as the pipe gets hot it melts the wire coating and the very thin hairline strand of wire inside will break and the pipe will drop.
Funny web site but it’s very true, everybody getto hacks. getto hacks = 5 second solutions

Once i used a old cat5 cable for the same muffler problem. It lasted till bought the actual part.
Oh that brings back memories. I forget what I finally used to tie up the exhaust of my old 75 Impala, but I’m sure it was something that makes the earbuds look professional.
I recently used a coat hanger wrapped around the bolts for the heat shroud to hold a broken pipe up. It was still loud but at least it didn’t drag on the ground before I could get it welded properly.
exhaust on my truck rusted in half just before the muffler, fixed it with a bean can and hose clamps.
been sitting here laughing for almost an hour.
i just found a girl with a ziptie i her hair,
funny thing being that i have zipties in my hair right now(used two as they are a bit short)
we are currently fixing up our house with the help of our quick witted neighbor, so i’ll need to keep my camera at hand and upload some..
Funny thing is that as i was reading “Anyone who has ever stood in front of a broken household appliance with a roll of duct tape, one screw driver with a bit chipped off the flat part” I realised that was me. :)
I have a flat head screw driver in front of me right now on my computer desk (Used for a PS2, don’t ask :)) And ma missus said… Hey, that’s you, lol.
I don’t see whats so funny, everything I do looks like this.
I love this one :
