How to stretch: Take a deep breath, then move your limbs and body in such ways that the muscles are pulled. For example, you can stretch your arms upwards as high as you can, or you can lift up your leg with the other on the floor. Be warned; unless you're a trained contortionist or made of rubber, don't try to stretch too hard or your muscles will get strained.

How to empty: Take something you want to empty, preferably a container such as a box, a mug or your mind. Then, remove any and all contents from the container. Make sure the container doesn't contain a single thing. Congratulations, you've created a vacuum!

How to Get a Vacuum Cleaner

First you need to get some cash. After that you need to find out where they sell a vacuum cleaner. Maybe look it up on the computer or go driving around the city hoping you can find a store that sells one. Then you go there and find a vacuum cleaner. You grab it and take it to the cashier. Give the money they need. And there you go. Vacuum cleaner.

How to Drive Around the City

First of all, you need a driver's license. Got one? Good, because you need to apply what you've learned in your driving lessons in real life. Next, know the city that you're gonna drive around. It helps a lot if you live in said city. Take note of any places of interest, and plan a trip to them. You may choose to invite your family and friends over, and maybe play a driving song while you're at it. But remember, always follow the rules of the road. You don't wanna get into an accident, do you?

How to Not Miss a Paragraph: Highlight it with a color that contrasts the most with the colors in the book. Put a bookmark on that page. Write the instructions for easily finding the page and the paragraph in the cover page of the book. Relay those instructions to your trusted friend. Make a video recording of you relaying those instructions. Write a book detailing your experiences of these and tell the readers to not miss important paragraphs.

Get a highlighter, preferably with the most eye-bleeding neon color, and spread its ink on the most important parts of the text, and by most important, I mean all of it.

How to move your eyes

First, you..... no, not like this! NOT LIKE THIS! STOP YANKING ON YOUR EYEBALLS! Great going. Now you can't read this manual because you're blind. Way to go, halfwit! BLAAAARGH! Sorry, I do that sometimes.

How to go blind:

  • So, you've decided you want to be blind. First of all, are you absolutely sure about this? Being blind won't give you superpowers, despite what Daredevil or Kenshi may have lead you to believe. They got their superpowers through means unrelated to their blindness, like rolling around in dangerous chemicals. To see how to roll around in dangerous chemicals, check page 313.
  • Having made sure that yes, you want to be blind for some ungodly reason, there are multiple ways to accomplish this. The human eye is an extremely fragile organ, after all, and can be destroyed or otherwise rendered useless by just about anything.
  • While all means of rendering oneself blind are painful, some are more painful than others. Arguably the least painful method is to look directly at the sun for an extended period of time. Alternatively, you could look directly at a similarly bright light source, such as the floodlights mounted atop Jeremy Clarkson's Ford F150 Raptor.
  • If these methods are not impressive enough for you, or you're just a masochist, then check this page for a myriad of alternatives.
  • After your eyes have been rendered useless, then congratulations, you're now blind! And since you can't see this anymore for obvious reasons, I will go right ahead and call you a massive idiot! Honestly, why the hell would you want to blind yourself...

How to Look Directly at the Sun for an Extended Period of Time

  2. Tilt your head upwards and turn towards the sun.
  3. Stare.

How to stare

1. Use your eyes.

2. If you don't have eyes, make contact with a Great One and ask them to grant you eyes.

How to Make Contact: Physically, turn your face towards the one you are trying to make contact with and touch the one. If not physically, you may choose to write a letter, make a phone call, write an e-mail, send a text message, or communicate through social media with big shiny letters in the message. You may still turn your face towards the one you want to make contact with in this case. Asking for or researching the one's location and using geographic information systems may be required to turn towards the correct position.

How To Make A Phone Call

Of course, the first step is to have a phone, but after that, simply slam your entire palm on the number buttons. Eventually, this will lead to a phone call, which you may then talk into.

How to slam your entire palm on the number buttons

  1. Find a phone.
  2. Flatten your hand.
  3. Move your hand towards the phone's number buttons very quickly.
  4. But not too quickly or you'll break either the phone or your hand.

How to Break Your Phone: First of all, ask yourself: why would you want to break your phone?! Is it a Nokia 3310, and you want to test it if it's really that indestructible? Sure, go ahead, but you might end up breaking the floor/ground instead. If it's not, then unless you're working at quality control, just don't. You don't wanna spend a "little" more money buying a new one, do you?

How to Ask Yourself Something:

  1. Formulate question.
  2. Direct question to yourself.
  3. Ask it.

Beyond this, you're on your own. Do note that some questions are unanswerable, uncomfortable, or nonsensical. Ask those at (literally) your own risk.

How to be outside:

  1. Be born.

    • If you were born in a hospital or other building, just yell and scream until your parents take you outside, I guess.

    • If you were born outside, congratulations, you're already there.

  2. Once you're outside, make sure you stay out there until you're 80 years old. Then you can retire from Being Outside.
