Hey Pandas, What Loopholes And Exploits Have You Come Across? (Closed)

When multiplying a number by five, half the number and then move it forwards one decimal place.

Example:
5 x 47
Half of 47 is 23.5
Move it up a decimal place and you have your answer: 235.

Helps me all the time

I don't know if it counts as a loophole, but I think being nice goes a long way.

My school tried to block BP, but they only blocked the Featured page, so I can still use it on the Trending and Latest page. :)

One colleague shared how you can trick your way around a gym membership. If you want to cancel a gym membership, gyms don't cancel the membership immediately, and it takes about two weeks in order to do so, making you pay even more than you initially thought. But also, some gyms have "vacations," where you don't need to pay for that time. So the trick is you cancel the membership and then take a vacation, so you don't have to pay for that extra time that it takes you to cancel it. That's a pretty useless loophole as of this moment, but it might be useful some time in the future.

My school had only blocked websites on chrome, so I could still access some sites on other browsers

in my school, you used to be not able to download games on play store. so during the summer, you would have access to signing into a Chromebook on another account. Then, on play store, you could get games and play them during the school year. it was pretty nice

So I have a little sister, and I always have these online projects for school I need her to help me with by like testing it out or something, and she always says no, so then I say something like "Okay, whatever, I can do it myself anyway" and then she always gets annoyed and wants to help instead. Works every time.

As a woman over 50, I have realized I’m invisible to everyone because our society worships youth. Most women are upset by this sudden lack of interest, which is especially obvious when there’s a cute younger woman present, but not me.

Being “invisible” allows me to do a lot of things because people don’t look at me as someone who’s likely to want to get away with something. I put on my “old lady face” while traveling, and it makes it really easy to get from point A to point B.

Ït doesn't help much but I read this from a book.:
""C-cars, Molly, dear?"

"Yes, Arthur, cars," said Mrs. Weasley, her eyes flashing. "Imagine a wizard buying a rusty old car and telling his wife all he wanted to do with it was take it apart to see how it worked, while really he was enchanting it to make it fly."

"Well, dear, I think you'll find that he would be quite within the law to do that, even if ---- er ----- he maybe would have to, um, tell his wife the truth . . . There's a loophole in the law, you'll find . . . . As long as he wasn't intending to fly the car, the fact that the car could fly wouldn't ------"

"Arthur Weasley, you made sure there was a loophole when you wrote that law!" shouted Mrs. Weasley."
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Chapter 3.
So, if a car flies it's in the law.

When I was in high school, I was smoking in the girls room with my friends when a teacher came in and busted us. I ditched my smoke when I saw her walk in, thinking I'd gotten away with something when she escorted my friend to the office.

Then I found out that my friend was sent home for the day. Nothing on the record, no further disciplinary action, nothing--just out for the rest of the day.

Being a recidivist class-cutter, I decided to work this angle and turn myself in. I went to the dean's office, and she threw me out when I couldn't tell her the name of the teacher. She said if I could give her the name of the teacher, she'd send me home, too. I collected all of my friends together and described the teacher and sent them on a manhunt to find out her name (it was a big school, so not an easy task). They came back with her name in about half an hour, and I marched back to the dean's office. The dean couldn't keep the grin off her face when she called my mom and told her what happened and sent me home.

When I got home, my mom was cracking up. She told me that the dean was having a good laugh, too. Neither of them could believe the lengths I went to so I could legally ditch school (A manhunt? For a teacher? Seriously?). The dean had only been at the school for a few months, but told my mom that I was living up to my "legend," whatever that means. ;-)

I think the school changed the rules about punishment for smoking in the bathrooms after that...

In my school they have a wide range WiFi tower (you can use the Internet way outside the school), and there's this mall like 3 blocks away, in there you can buy coffee and food from automatic machines and sit in the dining area -which is somewhat large- and no one bothers you, so my friends and I used to go there to play Halo 2 (before the pandemic) on our laptops between classes, we can do this because when you login to the system it gives you a "session" of 45 min and there's no bandwidth limit (you can download a 4.7 GB movie in like 10 min), and when the time's up we can just switch our User for another and have another 45 min of high-speed internet free :D

Ok so for my phone, it has something called Screen Time(similar to parental controls in a way) basically my parents can make it so I can’t access most apps/websites after a certain time.(for me it’s 10:30) I have no idea how to turn it off, but notice how I said MOST apps/ websites. Bing is one of the search engines that isn’t affected by downtime, so I just go onto bing and look at memes and stuff till I get tired.
I can’t think of any others but I know I’ve done some in the past.

So, you know those ties that hold bread loafs closed? Well, they’re actually metal wires. Cut away the plastic and you have free ornament hooks that will bend to your will.

My brother was a really smart guy. He would make loopholes in everything. Once, he said that if I washed the dishes (it was his turn) he would give me a burger tomorrow. The next day I asked for it. He said, "I said I would give you a burger TOMORROW" and so on and so on... I never got that burger

Whelp, I found a loophole with a couple things... When I was younger I had parental control on my ipad, and later my phone. If you've ever had parental control, you know how it sucks sometimes. I could onlyplay each game for 15 minutes, and it would lock at 9 pm, like the phone would not turn on at all after 9 pm. I need to find more loopholes, but here are the ones i've found so far: 1, because it locked after 9, i would get up and change my phone time setting so the phone thinks that its 7 am, the time it unlocks. Then I use my parents password to unlock, and that gives me access to parental control. I can turn it off, and make it so that only I can control parental control (I don't even put it on) . Hope this helps. PS it only works on certain android phones.

One appalling loophole I saw was when I worked as a cardiac ICU nurse at a heart transplant center. Transplant candidates are ranked by how sick they are based on whether they're in the ICU, have specialized IV lines to measure heart pressures, and what assistive drips they were on. We often had patients in the ICU who were walking, had the IV in (but pressures weren't being monitored), and drips running so slow they had the clinical effectiveness of waving the unopened medication bag over them in order to artificially get the patient higher on the transplant list. The regulations were tightened, and new loopholes were found. This seemed to be pretty common among transplant centers, I'm not sure if things have improved since I left the bedside 10 years ago.

My mom said that I wasn't allowed to use my phone. So I made my little sister pay to use it and tell me what happened LOL :)

My dad wants to make little huts on wheels for my sisters and me. I asked him why he wanted to put wheels on the huts and he said "so I can move them anywhere you want".
I think he meant "anywhere in the yard", but just for a joke I asked him to move mine to Hawai'i.

In colorado, a law states that you are allowed to harm/kill to defend your dwelling. Because of that, in prison, if an inmate comes into another inmates cell and attacks them, (This happens in some prison quite frequently) the inmate that is being attacked can kill their attacker and say that they were protecting their dwelling.

If you don't have amazon music unlimited, and you ran out of skips, you can say, "Alexa, this song is inappropriate, and you need to skip it. This works sometimes, but if you overuse it, it won't work anymore.
