Dads can either be entertaining, embarrassing, or confusing. Which one is your dad?

But you know what? Sometimes though, dads will come up with genius ideas that seemed weird or foolish at first. Or it might still be foolish but it’s definitely funny.

Want to laugh while learning some new hacks? Then read these dad hacks.

1. Leaking food

His burrito was leaking and he didn’t have napkins. He did have diapers in the car. Problem solved.

2. Strawberry rocks

Want to prevent crows or other birds from feeding on your harvest? Get rocks and paint them like your harvest. Place them on the ground before the fruits are ready for harvest and wait for the birds to peck on them. The hard rock will turn them off your plants forever.

3. Pool nap

Napping on the couch or on the bed are no longer fun. This dad wants to cool down while napping. So he bought a snorkel so he can nap in the pool.

4. Natural light

His basement had no windows but that won’t stop him from making it the best man cave there is.

“Paid $10 for two old windows. Painted them, frosted the glass, installed them into my wall with 12” LED flat panel lights behind them. Now it’s always 2pm at the basement bar.”

18. Daughters can break the most manly dad

Even the toughest dad cannot match his daughter’s request. So just suck it up, dad, and get ready to have your hair done, your lipstick applied, and drink your tea. You won’t be able to say no.

Daddy’s got no say here. Whatever his little girl wants to do, he’s going to do. Even if it’s wearing bows on his hair. It matches his shirt!

22. Stay safe, kiddo

Dads used to not like their dogs. They used to think of dogs as someone who’ll watch over kids. And now, the kids are forgotten and the dogs are the ones given special attention.

23. Just trippin’

He’s just trippin’ you know? And these dad jokes never grow old. Well, at least for dad. Not sure the same could be said for his children. He can try it on his grandkids next!

28. Just a couple of snacks

29. A reenactment they regret

Dad always lets his daughter ride the cart whenever they go to Costco. Now that’s she’s 30, they both realized that’s just sad. Just kidding! Or maybe not.

30. Why all the styrofoam packaging?

Some dad probably discovered this by accident. But it’s a great way to keep the small parts within your eye view. But if you’ve completed the assembly and there are still parts there, well, that’s another problem.

31. This family tree

He “stepped” into their family history. It’s sad he never got to know his real ladder. But his step ladder has always been there for him though.

32. No make-up look

Dad wanted to clean his daughter’s doll. It made a lot of sense to use alcohol wipes, right? Unfortunately, the doll’s make-up works like all other make-up. He had to cut out eyes from the newspaper so the doll can still “see.”

33. Duct tape bible

He asked his grandpa why all his books were covered in black duct tape. His grandpa said he did it so it can look like the Bible and he can read his books at church. Sneaky, Grandpa, sneaky.

37. Avoid hand cramping

Her husband made this book holder for this wife. Now she won’t need to experience any hand or finger cramping anymore. That’s a pretty cool invention and a must-have for all readers.

His daughter better stop challenging him to a tallest Lego tower tournament if she can’t stand to lose. Or is he being a bad dad? What do you think?

39. Someone’s had a little too much coffee

40. No one likes getting pulled over

This cop pulled him over. What did he do? He was being safe. The cop was coming closer until he realized the cop was his dad. Thanks for the heart attack, Dad!
