==Explanation==<br />
This comic is a take on the typical "how to" which details "how to" organize your home. In many cases, finding the best organization can be difficult and/or can take a long time. To skip this problem, Cueball "Just Gives Up" and puts all his items and furniture into a box labeled "Misc" for miscellaneous, with the exception of his laptop, cable modem and router.<br />
<br />
Items in the box seem to include the following<br />
* A TV<br />
* A Lamp<br />
* A Broom<br />
* A Mattress<br />
* A Chair<br />
* A Shelf<br />
* A Fan<br />
* At least one Cable<br />
* And several other unidentifiable objects<br />
<br />
The title text is a take on the popular website Lifehacker which includes all sorts of posts on how to "hack" your life and improve it. Life hacking appears to be a common theme in xkcd, such as in [[2024: Light Hacks]].<br />
