While some of us must have made peace with knowing that there is no other way around threading a needle but to lick the thread some hundred times and patiently keep trying, while we pray on our knees, somebody on Twitter decided to rattle the foundation of our beliefs with a video that is now going viral.
John Bick posted a video on Twitter that shows how one can do the job in a matter of just a few seconds. The video has, in addition to showing how to thread a needle, has also seemed to have put many into introspection mode – “Has my whole life been a lie?”

With plain thread (licked?)
1 Check needle is threadable. Pick one you can do by eye first ;-)
2 Find firm slightly calloused skin (feet may help)
3 Shortish quick firm strokes til it snarls. Keep going. Check the bunching
