What is a Life Pro Tip?
A Life Pro Tip (or an LPT) is a specific action with definitive results that improves life for you and those around you in a specific and significant way.
Keep in mind that an aphorism is not a LPT.
An aphorism is a a short clever saying that is intended to express a general truth or a concise statement of a principle.
Examples of aphorisms:
"A barking dog never bites."
"No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible."
"All stones are broken stones."

That's a pretty strange criterion for choosing a refrigerator, but whatever.
I don't think you should be downvoted for this, but I do heavily disagree. A refrigerator is a large wall that 1) occupies eye level, 2) is closed 99.99% of the time, 3) you glance at probably multiple times a day, 4) is usually centrally located, and 5) is typically magnetic. I think it can be a really good organization tool even in an era of smartphones, and while it's not some kind of lone criterion, given two even vaguely similar refrigerators, I'm pretty much always going to take the magnetic one.
i like to pick up a magnet when i travel someplace new so imagine my excitement when my husband and i decided to go on the road in an rv fulltime!!!
the excitement that was gone in an instant when i figured out the fridge in said rv is not magnetic and now i have nowhere to put my freaking magnet collection
you can buy big sheets of that flexy black magnet material and give your fridge a wrap!
i hope someone gives you flowers soon bc you deserve them for changing my life
Yeah, we moved a couple years ago, and now have a built-in fridge, so it has a wood panel in front of the door. I want my whiteboard back :(
I bet you can get magnetic whiteboard wall material
I placed a "real" small whiteboard in the kitchen. Its not as big and not as well placed as the fridge, but we make do...
Yes! I got one magnetic self-adhesive whiteboard film for my fridge from Aliexpress (because it was impossible to find anything like that locally), and I am pretty happy about it. The magnetism is not that strong, but I use neodynium magnet to compensate for that.
Leaving it here in case you are interested, but I'm sure you can find other alternatives if you search harder than me... https://a.aliexpress.com/_ExyxrXU
Nice find!
Well, I do not care about votes and magnets. A fridge should be big enough to keep right amount of food fresh and cool. And that's really what matters to me. I've never understood why people decorate their refrigerators like christmas trees.
It's almost like different people like different things. Don't yuk someone's yum.
