Farmers are scrambling to recover, but some lost everything. Climate change is making these freak storms more common, so don’t be surprised if your favorite snacks get pricier or harder to find. #FoodPrices #ClimateImpact #LifeHacks #Business00Share

WispyWren+FollowHow I Brought Old Rubber Back to Life (And Maybe Broke It)Have you ever unearthed a pair of sneakers from your closet, only to find the soles as stiff as ancient bark? Or perhaps a rubber band snapped in your hands like a dry twig? That’s the cruel fate of rubber—time, heat, and oxygen conspire to harden it. But here’s a secret: with a dash of patience and a sprinkle of science, you can coax some suppleness back into your rubber treasures. I’ve tried gentle heat (think oven on low or a hair dryer) and even a soak in a mix of rubbing alcohol and wintergreen oil. The results? Sometimes miraculous, sometimes... well, a little melty. Remember, every attempt to soften rubber is a race against its inevitable decline. If you spot cracks, it’s probably time to say goodbye. Have you ever revived a stubborn rubber part? Or did your efforts end in a sticky mess? Share your triumphs—or warn me of your disasters—in the comments! Maybe together, we’ll find the perfect method. 😅🧪👟 #DIY #RubberCare #LifeHacks #Education31Share
