        Thread a small needle with small thread and run that through first, then tie the dental floss to the thread.

    Stick the loop in and use a tooth pick or something to pull it out.

    Get something like a twist tie that you can feed through. Once through, connect it to the loop and pull back through. You can strip the paper off the tie to make it take up less space.

      Things like this don’t come with manuals. If a manual is included, it isn’t in properly translated language…

    Push the two sides of the loop together and bend it into a “J” / hook shape. It should hold shape long enough to get it in there. It also helps to come at it from a 45 degree angle. Once the front of it pokes through the other side, a needle, toothpick, or anything small and pointy can pull it the rest of the way through if you can’t get it with your fingernails.

    Turn it sideways and it’ll bend more easily.

1) Be nice and; have fun

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?


3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.


4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either !asklemmyafterdark@lemmy.world or !asklemmynsfw@lemmynsfw.com. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].
