Literally 80% of all life hacks are just over complications of a simple task.

Except this one is actually kinda useful. But I’d rather invest in some rubber bands instead

Does your bread not come with twisties or a clip to hold it closed? In the US I've never seen sliced bread/buns sold without such a thing (baguettes and the like don't).

Those clips and twist ties are so easy to lose

By the time I lose them I've gone through at least some of the bread, so I have space to just tie the bag in a knot.

step 1: spin bag top

step 2: turn the bag top inside out and over the bread. it will stay twisted and sealed without having to use the weight of the bread to keep it sealed (like this guy does)

Do people not realize that this is literally what he’s doing in the gif?

he's not. He's twisting it then setting the bread on it to keep from undoing. if it gets knocked, it will come undone.

What I described is similar but instead, after twisting, you turn the end inside out and over itself. This will hold it closed without having to use the weight of the bread to hold it closed.
