Apple switched off the best camera settings on your iPhone. On purpose.

You paid $1,200 for a camera you've never actually used. Six settings are off by default, and they're the ones that make photos look dramatically better.

Fix these 6:👇 1. Turn Off Lens Correction

Settings > Camera > Turn off Lens Correction.

Apple auto-corrects distortion which can soften edges, especially in low light. Turn it off.

A guy had been a Costco member for 6 years.

He bought bulk toilet paper, rotisserie chicken, and gas. He thought that was the whole membership.

His aunt, who worked as a Costco warehouse manager for over a decade before retiring, walked the aisles with him for 20 minutes and said:

"You've been reading the price tags wrong the entire time. You're on the wrong membership tier for how much you spend. You've never once used the return policy the way it's actually designed. And you're paying full price for things that have a built-in markdown code sitting right there on the shelf, in plain sight, that nobody ever explains to you."

She pointed at 8 things in one trip.

Here's everything she showed him 🧵 First, the price tag code almost nobody knows.

Every Costco price tag ends in a specific number, and that number isn't random — it's a code the company has used internally for decades. It's never printed on a sign or explained in the app. It just lives in the collective knowledge of longtime employees and obsessive members.

.99 means full retail price. That's the vast majority of what you see. .97 means clearance — the warehouse is actively trying to clear that item out. .00 or .88 usually means a final manager's markdown, the deepest cut before an item disappears.

And in the top right corner of the tag, watch for a small asterisk. Employees call it the "Death Star." It means the item is not being reordered — once it sells out, it's gone from that warehouse for good.

She said most members walk past this information every single trip and have no idea they're standing next to a countdown clock.

Costco membership costs $60-$120/year.

Most members use 2 things: bulk groceries and the $1.50 hot dog.

That's a $130 membership doing the job of a warehouse punch card.

Costco doesn't advertise the rest. There's no push notification saying "you left $1,000+ in benefits unclaimed this year."

And at least 3 of those benefits reset every single month. If you don't use them in the window, they're gone. No rollover. No refund. Just gone.

Costco is counting on you not knowing where to look.

Here are the 12 Costco benefits most members have never activated — including the ones that reset monthly 🧵 THE BENEFITS THAT RESET MONTHLY (claim these first)

1. The Member-Only Savings booklet — instant discounts on 80-150 items. New book, new window, every month.

This isn't a coupon you clip. It's automatic. During the printed window (usually ~4 weeks), featured items are simply cheaper at checkout. No code, no app, no barcode.

Supplements, OTC meds, appliances, seasonal gear — often $3 to $100+ off per item, sometimes stacking (buy more, save more).

Miss the window and the discount is gone. A new book replaces it. The old savings don't come back.

Most members never open the booklet — or don't realize the mailer even matters.

Value lost if ignored: $200-500/year in discounts you were already going to buy.

A woman paid for Amazon Prime for 5 years before she realized she was using it wrong.

She'd ordered hundreds of packages. Watched a few shows on Prime Video. Never once looked past the "Buy Now" button.

Her cousin — who worked Amazon customer service for 3 years — was staying over for the holidays and watched her order a phone charger at full price.

She finally said: "Wait — can I see your account for a second? You're missing 9 things that come with the Prime you're already paying for. Amazon doesn't advertise most of these. They'd rather you not use them."

She changed 9 things in 10 minutes.

She saved $340 that month. Got a package a day early. Found $1,200 worth of stuff she already owned buried in a benefit she'd never opened.

Here's everything her cousin showed her: 1. Prime membership sharing — 2 adults, 4 teens, same Prime account

You can add another adult and up to 4 teens to your Prime household, and everyone gets full Prime shipping benefits on their own separate orders.

Go to Amazon Household under Accounts & Lists → Add Adult or Add Teen.

Her cousin's line: "Most families are paying for Prime twice without knowing it." One membership. Two full Prime accounts.

(Claude 4.6 explains the why. ChatGPT only lists)

Marriage has six stages,

but most couples give up at the third stage.

Stage 1: The Honeymoon Stage....👇 In the honeymoon stage, everything feels easy.

You both try harder.
You forgive faster. You overlook flaws because you're still learning each other.

Love feels automatic because life hasn't tested you yet.

This is where everyone wants to stay.

Everything is new. Every touch is electric.

Every conversation feels like a discovery.

The hormones are flooding your system.

You feel like you've finally found what you've been looking for.

This stage is beautiful. But it is not real. It is nature's way of bonding you before reality sets in.

JOB INTERVIEW: "Tell me about yourself."

Most candidates say: "Well, I graduated in 2018, then I got an internship at X, and then I spent 3 years at Y doing full-stack development..." (boring chronological recap)

THE WINNING ANSWER: "I specialize in scaling infrastructure and recovering failing technical projects. Most recently, I saved my last company $400k by rebuilding their cloud architecture. I am here today because I see your team is hitting similar scaling bottlenecks, and I want to solve them."
