Take a toothpick to it

Meaning if it is easy and accessible to try and fix your own things, or DIYing a solution before going to (if at all) professional assistance. Typically because the professionals are very expensive or a hassle.

Comes from trying to fix technology and other of the sort with small things that everyone has, such as toothpicks, because getting it professionally fixed is very expensive, and you might as well try.
John: man, my car is really acting up, but I can’t afford to take it in to the shop right now.
Emily: dude, just take a toothpick to it.

Sara: my phone speakers were absolutely trash earlier, but I took a toothpick to them and now they sound fine!

Eric: dammit, I need stitches but the American healthcare system is hell
Aaron: well, you know the drill. Pull up YouTube, we’re just going to have to take a toothpick to it

Taking cues from animals

Hym "So you're taking cues from animals... Rather than eternal Jewish dictators... And that's better to you? That's why I think Atheists are stupid animals. Because they literally are. So when I say 'For me to not murder your kids you need to not do this chimpanzee barking shit and you need to both recognize and pay for my contributions to society online or off' and your response with 'WeLl fOr Me To NoT mUrDeR kIdS i NeEd tHe OpPoSiTe!' One of us is being a retarded animal and the other is not. Are alligators psychopathic? No. It's dumb. Your morality is literally just 'Well, we're closely related to bonobos (or something) this is how bonobos behave so we're just gonna do that.' This is just how people work + determinism = 🤷 ♂️ thought terminating cliché (It is what it is. If you know you know. Bark bark bark oo oo ah ah tookie tookie)."

I'm just gonna' take a hot dog at IKEA

It means that you're on your way to take a jerk. Instead of openly saying that you want to jerk off, this is a way for parents to hopefully not understand, which reduces the chance of them catching you jerking off.
