Short(er) people of Lemmy--what are some lifehacks you figured out that've helped you out? (lemmy.world)

Here's some of mine:

Camping tables are generally shorter than typical desks, and helped ease some posture issues I had sitting at a desk that was too high for me. (Even adjustable desks still were too high for me at their lowest setting.)
When a place I lived in had a washer that was too tall for me to reach the bottom in (from the top), I found I could use kitchen tongs to get things like socks out of the bottom.

For people in need of a desk or table...

I'm an amateur woodworker and I could use the practice transitioning to furniture making. If you don't mind covering materials and shipping (from New York to you), feel free to message me and we can work something out. I'm not looking to make a killing here, but getting some practice while helping somebody out would be nice.

I’m not sure how to DM people on my Lemmy client Thunder but I might be interested depending on the deets! I’m located in Florida.

Hmm. I don't know either. Maybe I need an account on your instance? I'm posting from kbin anyway so heck if I know.

Tried a different client (Voyager) that did seem to have the ability to DM, so we’ll see if that works!

I don't seen anything on my end.
