I’ve found that the best hacks often come from necessity—anyone else notice this pattern?

I've found that the best hacks often come from necessity—anyone else notice this pattern? It seems like when I'm backed into a corner, facing a problem with no readily available solution, that's when the real ingenuity kicks in. I'm not talking about malicious hacking, but more like life hacks and clever problem-solving.

For example, a while back my phone charger broke right before a long trip. Instead of buying a new one immediately,I managed to rig up an old USB cable and a paperclip to temporarily charge it. It was ugly, it was precarious, but it worked! And honestly, that jury-rigged charger lasted longer than it had any right to.

It makes me wonder if having too many resources actually stifles creativity. if everything is easily accessible, maybe we don't push ourselves to find unconventional solutions. What are some of the most surprising or effective "necessity is the mother of invention" hacks you've come up with? I'm curious to hear your stories!
