An Unethical Life Pro Tip (or ULPT) is a tip that improves your life in a meaningful way, perhaps at the expense of others and/or with questionable legality. Share your best tips you've picked up throughout your life, and learn from others!

ULPT Rules:

Tips must be unethical, tips that are ethical will be removed.
Tips must provide some benefit to you.
Post titles must begin with "ULPT" or "ULPT Request", and should be descriptive. The title should explain the gist of the ULPT without needing a description. Post that are walls of text will be deleted at the mods discretion.
No tips about rape, murder, suicide, or any tips that violate Geneva Convention laws.
No tip lists, each individual post should be about a single tip. This includes links to articles that list tips.

ULPT Whenever buying something online, try using the coupon code "military". Many sites have a military discount and don't require any proof of military service. (lemmy.world)

Hardly. Stolen valor is when you impersonate a vet for clout.

You're putting in a code in a checkout menu that you and you alone will see, to get a discount.

Thought experiment: what if it's in-store and the cashier asks if you're in the military and you say yes?

If it'll save you money go for it

I'd say dick move in that scenario. At that point you're no longer throwing strings of text at a website, you're lying to a person. What if the cashier's father died serving? That's an awkward situation you don't wanna be in.
