Some of that stuff is pure genius, most of it I've seen before...

Frito's make better kindling than Doritos (more grease/oils).

Some of those I already do, others are great ideas!
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

I've been using the binder trick to keep my phone charging cable on my nightstand for ages! The rest of these are awesome, nice find!

I'd like to add a suggestion:

Sharpening shaving razors with denim jeans.  Lay the jeans flat and, run the razor back and forth about ten times on the pant legs.  Obviously, don't run the razor with the sharp edge as the leading edge.
Wish I had some gif or quote for this space, but I got nothing

"Bagel tote."

I wasn't aware that there was a need for such a thing...
