Water is another cheap thing that has definitely improved my quality of life.
-
Is anyone else incredibly impressed with his note taking???
-
Ali: guys there’s this physical thing called a clock and it also tells the time like my phone. Me: wow, sold.
-
Pro tip: don't buy anything he showed if you didn't want it before watching this. No hate at all, it's just a money saving advice that I learned a few months ago. I do recommend this for every marketing attempt btw.
-
Ali is the only person that can make a doorstop deep.
-
"once the world stops ending" i felt that
-
no one: ali:increase sexual market value
-
I used to work in Oral-B, and one quick tip for using your power toothbrush: let the brush head clean one tooth at a time. The round brush head is meant to cup each tooth to clean it thoroughly. If you are more used to the "sawing" motion, you should get a longer brush head, or a sonic-technology toothbrush.
-
The “hey do you wanna see a magic trick” in this voice killed me 😂
-
Bruh I've used one of those toothbrushes for like 10 years and didn't know that the vibration thing meant 30 seconds 🤣 ffs
-
Ali got me being so productive I watched with video at 2x speed, while cooking, ironing, and building a spaceship… (I did none of those things) but I did get motivated to make content and provide value… in a productive way of course
-
Cue the self-deprecating but still impressive bicep flex whilst brushing your teeth 💪
-
You said "six" at item number seven and I just can't let it go
-
"When people call something original, 9 times out of 10 they just don't know the references or the original sources". - Quote from someone at some point in time 😆
-
“The Devil Makes Work for Idle hands” -AA
-
I did not think youtube would make me want to buy an alarm clock but here we are
-
Ukulele got me also into the world of music. I also wanted to learn guitar but I bought a ukulele to start with.
-
-
Idea for one of his next videos: “How to Drink Water and Still Be Productive by Peeing at your Desk”
-
Did I miss anything about Ali taping his mouth before sleeping???!
