You'll Never Throw Away Banana Peels After This
I bet you never thought that banana peels could be good for anything other than slapstick comedy gags. You won't throw away banana peels anymore – you can use it in so many different ways! The most common thing to do with banana peels is to throw them in the trash. However, there are various miraculous uses for this frequently-overlooked product. The peels can be used in your kitchen as a cleaning product or in your beauty routine. TIMESTAMPS Banana peels for your garden 0:43 Banana peel spray 1:09 Banana peel vinegar 1:34 Get rid of acne 2:11 Banana peel face mask 2:50 Whiten your teeth 3:17 Polish your shoes 4:04 Polish silver 4:42 Reduce Eye Puffiness 5:27 Fight depression 6:20 Happy hormone 7:08 SUMMARY Banana peels contain vitamin C and vitamin E and they also contain potassium, zinc, iron, and manganese. These nutrients can calm inflamed skin and reduce acne outbreaks. Facial wrinkles occur when the skin loses its elasticity and it loses its firmness. The antioxidants and vitamin C in bananas can help reduce the appearance of wrinkles. When your silver begins to lose its luster or it begins to tarnish, try using a banana peel. The inside of a banana peel contains substances such as potassium that help clean metal objects. A banana peel is rich in enzymes and these enzymes in the banana skin have a pulling action that will draw the foreign subject to the surface of the skin which will make it much easier to grab the splinter or sliver or glass with a pair of tweezers. Adding a banana peel to your compost pile will help introduce more calcium, magnesium, sulfur, phosphates, potassium, and sodium — all of which are vital to the healthy growth of your plants. Ripe banana peels are very rich in potassium that can help reduce yellow stains that appear as a result of the consumption of certain beverages such as coffee and tea and certain foods such as blueberries and raspberries. Banana peels have the ability to drastically reduce skin irritation such as swelling, redness, and scarring. If you are looking for a natural way to treat your migraine, look no further than your fruit basket. A banana peel across the forehead and across the back of the neck can help relieve headaches! To keep your steak moist and tender, add some ripe banana skin to the roasting pan. This way, you will ensure that your roast stays juicy while it’s in the oven and that it stays full of flavor. Banana peels are a great home remedy for itchy skin. Banana peels contain histamine, lowering nutrients such as magnesium, vitamin C, and vitamin E.

Did you hear about the weird plasma bubbles spotted over the pyramids? Scientists are scratching their heads over these glowing, floating bubbles that seem to appear out of nowhere in the night sky. They're made of charged particles, which can create a light show when they interact with Earth's magnetic field. Some experts think they could be connected to solar activity, but no one’s totally sure yet. It’s wild to imagine something so mysterious happening over one of the most iconic ancient wonders. ✨ Credit: Our Active Ionosphere: By NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio, https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5238 centre of the Great Pyramid: By Mike McBey - https://flic.kr/p/2f68WSM, CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/..., https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...

Lost Mega Cities That Were Centuries Ahead of T...
Did you know there were mega cities in history that were way ahead of their time? Take Mohenjo-Daro in ancient India—it had an advanced drainage system and grid-like streets 4,500 years ago! Or the Mayan city of Tikal, with its towering pyramids and complex water management systems hidden deep in the jungle. Angkor in Cambodia was another mind-blower—it was the largest pre-industrial city, with an incredible network of canals and reservoirs. These places were bustling hubs of innovation, culture, and trade, long before modern cities were a thing. It’s amazing to think how advanced they were, only for many to vanish under the sands of time!

Why No One Could Find the Titanic for So Long
Finding the Titanic was like searching for a needle in a haystack—at the bottom of the ocean! 🌊 For decades, people knew it sank in the North Atlantic, but the exact spot was a mystery. The problem? The ship broke into pieces as it sank, scattering debris across a massive area. Plus, the wreck was sitting over 12,000 feet deep in the dark, freezing ocean, making it nearly impossible to spot with old technology. It wasn’t until 1985 that scientists used special sonar equipment and underwater cameras to finally locate it. 🛳️ Turns out, the Titanic was hiding in a deep underwater canyon. 🌌 Credit: Dr. Ballard visit 2023: By Titanic Belfast - https://flic.kr/p/2oHmea4, CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/..., https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...

A Piece of Moon Broke Off, And It’s Very Close ...
Here’s something wild: a chunk of the Moon might’ve broken off, and it’s hanging out closer to Earth than you’d think! 🌙 Scientists believe this mysterious space rock, called Kamo’oalewa, could be a piece of our Moon that got knocked loose ages ago, maybe from an asteroid impact. Right now, it’s orbiting the Sun in a pattern that keeps it pretty close to Earth—kind of like a cosmic dance partner! 💫 It’s so small, though, that spotting it is super tricky. Researchers are still trying to figure out how exactly it got there and if it’s really part of the Moon.

A New Bermuda Triangle Theory Explains Its Mystery
The Bermuda Triangle is one of the biggest mysteries in the world. This region, shaped in the form of a triangle, is situated in the North Atlantic Ocean between Miami, Puerto Rico, and Bermuda. More than 150 planes, cargo ships, and smaller vessels have met their demise in this cursed area. Even with modern technology and communication systems, vessels still keep vanishing. The latest discovery may shed a different light on the eternal enigma. #bermudatriangle #brightside TIMESTAMPS: The most recent accident 1:45 The methane gas theory 5:12 Wormholes theory 5:44 Waterspouts theory 6:06 A hole in the electromagnetic forces of the planet 6:27 The human error theory 6:47 The alien theory 7:11 Enormous rogue waves 7:49 Holes in the sea 10:05 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY: The most recent accident was also the most disastrous for the last 30 years, and it happened on October 1, 2015. That day, the huge cargo ship SS El Faro went missing in the area of the Bermuda Triangle. The search continued for weeks, and SS El Faro was finally spotted. It was positioned upright and in one piece at a depth of 15,000 ft in the Atlantic. The search party found no trace of the crew. Some researchers believe that ships and planes crash and disappear in the area due to methane gas. And it has indeed been proved that there are massive stores of this gas in some areas of the ocean floor. Therefore, when gas is released into the water, the process can sink ships and make planes crash. The wormholes theory is preferred by those who love sci-fi. In short, a wormhole is a space-time shortcut. While the existence of wormholes hasn't been proven yet, this doesn't stop some people from believing that this phenomenon is what causes vanishings in the Bermuda Triangle. Waterspouts (more simply, tornados at sea) are said to have been spotted in the Bermuda Triangle. This weather phenomenon sucks water many feet up into the air. Potentially, this can make a ship disappear with eerie ease. Compasses are reported to malfunction in the Bermuda Triangle. This place is one of the few on Earth where compasses have problems pointing north. This can lead to sailors and pilots going off their course. The human error theory sounds rather disappointing for those who love mysteries! However, some people are sure that all the crashes and disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle happen due to people's mistakes. There are too many confusing islands that are hard to distinguish from one another as well as the difficult weather condition. No mystery can exist without an explanation of alien interference. It's just too convenient to blame disappearances on extraterrestrial forces. Though why aliens would choose exactly this area for their abductions remains unknown. The most recent findings of scientists allow them to claim that the mystery of the Bermuda Triangle has finally been solved. The culprits are huge sea monsters! But when we say “monsters,” we do not mean living creatures. They are enormous rogue waves that were believed to be a myth. Rogue waves are terrifying and anomalous. They are massive walls of water that move across the ocean. Rogue waves can have a force of 9 metric tons per square foot. To compare, the average 40-ft-high wave has a force of only 0.5 metric tons per square foot.

Archaeologists Found Santa's Sarcophagus in Turkey
Did you know archaeologists think they found the final resting place of the Saint Nicholas—yep, the guy who inspired Santa Claus? Deep under an ancient church in Turkey, they discovered a sarcophagus that might belong to the real-life saint from the 4th century. St. Nicholas was known for his generosity and helping the poor, which is how he became the legend of Santa Claus. The church, built in his honor, had been hiding this burial site under its floor for centuries! Scientists are still carefully studying the tomb to confirm if it’s really him, but they’re super excited about the discovery. 🎅✨ Credit: CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...

18 Things Designed for a Different Purpose
The things that we use every day become such a huge part of our routines that we seldom notice their simplest features. However, look carefully and you may notice that your favorite items have been designed to do much more than you thought.

Why Saudi Arabia’s $2 Trillion Line City Is Fai...
Saudi Arabia’s $2 trillion "Line City" project sounds like something out of a sci-fi movie—a 170-km-long city designed to fit millions of people in a super high-tech, linear structure. But it’s running into some major issues. First, the cost is mind-blowing, and many experts think it’s just not realistic to pull off. On top of that, building such a massive structure in the middle of the desert has crazy engineering and environmental challenges. Plus, people are questioning whether anyone would actually want to live there, given the limitations of such a compact, narrow space. It’s a bold idea, but it might just be too ambitious to work in the real world.

10 Simple Tricks to Manipulate People's Mind
The development of psychology allowed scientists to study the biological processes in the human brain, emotions, behavior, and reactions. This information gives us an understanding of our own actions. It also makes it easier for people to control others. Do you ever wish that you could make people agree with you, like you, or remember you with a snap of your fingers? Believe it or not, it's actually possible — you just have to know a couple of tricks. They work on a subconscious level and help you win another person’s trust or get somebody’s approval. Bright Side will share 10 tips that work every time and can be useful in any situation. TIMESTAMPS: Mirror your opponent's body language to make them trust you 0:37 Use the word “because” to have it your way 1:27 Pause to give your words a bigger effect 2:45 Stay silent to find out more 4:02 Be the first or last one to make them remember you 4:40 Sit next to your opponent to receive less criticism 5:18 Ask someone for a favor to change their perception of you 5:57 Use contrasts to get what you want 6:57 Nod slightly to make someone agree with you 7:34 Draw a triangle with your eyes to stop the conversation 8:11 #psychologicaltricks #psychologicaltips Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: If you want someone to like and trust you, mirror their body language — especially their poses and gestures. The most important thing is to be smooth about it. During a heated discussion, every opinion has to be heard, but only one will be chosen as the final one. If you want it to be yours, simply use the word “because” with your reasoning! If you want them to remember what you said and really think about it, add a pause after the statement. This simple trick will help you put all the right emphases in your speech. If you want to get everything out of another person, you shouldn't insist or be too demanding about it. Simply stay silent, and they'll tell you everything! If you're doing an important interview, try to arrange things so that you’ll be the first or last person seen. Let's say you know that your colleague or boss plans to lash out about your work skills at an upcoming meeting. How can you prevent a total disaster? Sit right next to them! Ask someone for a favor to change their perception of you. This psychological trick is also known as the Benjamin Franklin effect. One of the most popular psychological manipulation techniques is to ask for something way bigger than what you actually want. To get the positive response you need, nod slightly while asking the question. Remember to maintain eye contact with your opponent! Look your opponent in one eye, then in the other one, and then at their forehead. Keep “drawing” this triangle shape for the rest of the convo. They'll soon get the message on the subconscious level and say their goodbyes.

10 Terrifying Places Science Still Can't Explain
How to Learn More about the Earth. The scientific community has made great strides in discovering a lot about the planet we call home. Yet there’s still so much we don’t know! In this video, we’ll tell you about 10 of the most mysterious and bewildering places on Earth that even scientists can’t explain! Magnetic Hill, Skeleton Lake, Boiling River and a Dancing Forest. Plus, some mysterious waters where ships disappear. TIMESTAMPS Skeleton Lake 0:56 The Hessdalen Lights 1:53 Lake Anjikuni 2:41 The Devil's Sea 3:43 The Lake Michigan Triangle 4:44 Magnetic Hill 6:11 The Devil's Kettle 6:57 The Patomskiy Crater 7:57 The Boiling River 9:55 The Dancing Forest 11:16 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY -Every year when the snow and frozen water melt, Roopkund Lake in the Himalayas reveals 300 skeletons dumped in it. -The Hessdalen Lights occasionally turn yellowish or reddish, and nobody knows what makes them change color. -Canadian fur trapper Joe Labelle came to a village located on the shore of Lake Anjikuni to find it completely deserted. -Some folks call the Devil's Sea the Pacific Bermuda Triangle since ships and planes tend to disappear there with the same regularity as its North Atlantic counterpart. -The Lake Michigan Triangle has been gaining its notorious reputation since 1891 when a ship disappeared in its waters, along with its crew of seven sailors. -If you turn off the engine of your car and leave it in neutral on the Magnetic Hill, your vehicle will start climbing ahead, possibly at a speed of 12 miles per hour. -About a mile before the river empties into Lake Superior, a rocky outcrop splits it in two. And while the eastern flow drops 50 feet down and keeps flowing into the lake, the western part travels 10 feet down into a giant hole... and vanishes. -Located in Siberia, the Patomskiy Crater is described as a mound with a perfectly circular shape. It’s as big as a 25-story building, sits right in the middle of a wooded area with its top chopped off, and presents quite a sight. -The Boling River really is steaming hot. At a temperature of 187°F, it’s not exactly boiling, but it’s pretty close. -Located on the thin Curonian Spit that divides the Baltic Sea from the Curonian Lagoon is one of the strangest places on Earth. The pine trees in this forest have shockingly unusual shapes: they twist in spirals and circles along the ground.

How Color Blind People See the World
What is color blindness? How do color blind people see the world? And how many people in the world are affected by color blindness? What's color blindness? Color blindness, also known as color vision deficiency, is not a disease but the decreased ability to see color or differences in color. Approximately every 1 in 12 men and 1 in 200 women are affected by it. So, there is a high probability that someone who you know a neighbor or a co-student is color blind. For a person with normal vision, it is hard to imagine what it is like to be color-blind and how people like this see the world. Which color do they see? Do they see any at all? And so on. That is why we, at Bright Side, prepared a visual comparison of all colorblindness types and put them together for your better understanding. There are four different types of color blindness. Each of them provides deficiency in different color shades. TIMESTAMPS Deuteranopia, the first type of color blindness 1:13 Protanopia, the less-widespread form of color blindness 1:45 Tritanopia, the third type of color blindness 2:06 Total Color Blindness 2:26 Normal vision VS Color Blindness 2:46 Historical facts of colorblindness 5:39 #colorblind #humaneye SUMMARY The color blindness as a vision deficiency was discovered by English chemist John Dalton after he realized that he was color blind himself. In 1798, he published the first scientific paper related to this subject which was called “Extraordinary facts relating to the vision of colors.” Due to his unmeasurable input into the research of color blindness, the general condition has been called after him and known as Daltonism. Though, in English, this term is now used only for deuteranopia.

Something Weird Is Happening to the North Star ...
The North Star, Polaris, is acting a little strange lately, and scientists are scratching their heads about it. Normally, it’s a pretty stable star that’s been our guiding light for centuries, but recent observations show it’s dimming and brightening in unexpected ways. This could mean something big is happening inside the star, like changes in its core or fusion process. It’s a big deal because Polaris has been a key reference point for navigation and astronomy for ages. Studying its weird behavior might teach us more about how stars like it evolve. It’s like the North Star is trying to tell us a cosmic secret! Credit: Carved Box: Farm, CC BY-SA 2.5 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/..., https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...

7 Curious Facts Your Appearance Says About You
Research continues to show that our appearance can say a lot about our personality and lifestyle. Let’s find out what exactly your facial features can say about you. Psychologist and neuroscientist Dr. Keith Welker studied the facial structure of around 1,000 World Cup soccer players and found that a player’s facial width-to-height ratio was closely connected to the number of goals he scored. The higher the number, the more competent a person is. Your wrinkles tell the story of your life. There are certain muscles that work every time you smile, cry, frown, or raise your brows. After some time, they get used to particular emotions and “draw” them on your face, making them visible even when your face is resting. There's a slight differentiation between genders when it comes to picking “the good side”. Women tend to turn to the camera with their left side. Researches believe that this is because the left part of our face is controlled by the right hemisphere of our brain, which is responsible for our emotions. That's why it seems way more attractive. In 2015 a group of scientists analyzed 123 selfies taken from Sina Weibo, a Chinese microblogging site sort of like Twitter. The researchers found a fascinating connection between types of selfies and people's personalities. Selfie takers with the infamous duck face and high angle tend to be neurotic. People who are friendlier and more open to new experiences tend to use the bottom-up approach while taking selfies. Have you ever noticed how identical twins start to look less and less alike as they get older? You can have the best genes ever, but the lifestyle you lead will still affect your appearance.

A crease on your forehead between your eyebrows suggests a completely different story. -Engineers, mathematicians, and chemists usually pose with their right side to the camera, while art critics and psychologists prefer their left side. -People who are friendlier and more open to new experiences tend to use the bottom-up approach while taking selfies. -The bigger a person's nose, the more ambitious they are. -Your bad habits are slowly being imprinted right on your face. -Beautiful people might seem way friendlier than they really are. Those with a round face and big eyes are often seen as naive, genuine, and kind.

TIMESTAMPS: How to do burpees correctly 0:31 Day 1: I feel exhausted 1:40 Day 2: Why does my body hurt? 2:05 Day 3: I still feel like a sack of potatoes 2:30 Day 5: My abs are killing me 3:14 Day 7: I'm definitely getting better! 3:33 Day 10: Something wonderful happened 4:26 Day 14: I'm falling in love with my workout 4:45 Day 20: 6 minutes and 13 seconds! 5:07 Day 30: Time to sum up my experience 5:35 #burpees #homeworkout #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: There are lots of different kinds of burpees: with a plank and without, with a full push up, and even with a pull up at the end. Day 1: I'm probably not telling you anything new, but 50 burpees at once for an untrained person is daunting. I feel exhausted, I just want to go lie down and be left alone. Do I really have to endure this, for 30 days? Day 2: Why does my body hurt? I can feel some muscles I didn't know I had! I'm not sure I'll be able to move in this state at all, not to mention doing burpees! Day 3: By Day 3 I've understood one very important thing, and that's Do not procrastinate! That's why on Day 3 I promise myself that I'll start to do burpees the very second my smartphone reminds me about them. Day 5: Since I started the challenge, my arms have been sore like never before. And I don't even do any push-ups at the bottom of every burpee! Day 7: I'm definitely getting better! These days, I don't have to spend hours sweet-talking myself into doing my daily portion of burpees. Day 10: A wonderful thing happened to me today! My bus was about to leave, and I had to run to catch it. Are you saying there's nothing new about this story? But how about that I didn't even lose my breath after several minutes of pretty strenuous activity? Day 14: Slowly but surely, I'm falling in love with my daily burpee workout. Some pretty rebellious thoughts are starting to pop up in my head - what if I keep going even after the 30-day challenge is over? Day 20: Today I had to encourage my friend who got inspired by my results and was thinking about taking up the same challenge. Day 30: First and foremost, I was shocked to find out that this challenge was more difficult for my mind than for my body! I spent tons of time procrastinating, dreading the strain, or beating myself up for not being able to just go and do it. I've lost 6.5 pounds (3 kg)! And that's without me cutting down on food or anything! Now my stomach looks much more toned than before, and if you squint really hard, you can even see a six-pack! My arms and legs look much more defined than they used to! I've started to wear tank tops, and as soon as it's warm enough, you'll definitely see me in shorts. My endurance is so much better these days. Before, I hated running since I was short of breath 3 minutes after I set off! But after my friend talked me into a run in the park the other day, I realized how much better I've become! All in all, this challenge has helped me to figure out two things: I'm stronger than I used to think. And I'm not going to give up burpees anytime soon.

6 Mistakes You Keep Doing at Trainings
Are you trying everything you possibly can to lose weight and get a toned body but aren’t seeing any results? Are you dieting and hitting the gym 5 times a week, but the pounds are still there? Without the proper knowledge, you might be following an exercise routine that keeps you stuck on your journey or worse. Do you know that warming up before exercising and stretching afterward are necessary components of any weight loss or toning routine? If you don’t warm up, you risk injuring your body. If that happens, you’ll definitely face a setback. A huge part of weight loss is the mental aspect. If your body doesn’t feel good, you won’t want to stick to your workout routine. Make sure you warm up and stretch to increase your chances of exercising in the long term. If you exercise and eat well but are regularly piling on the calories with energy drinks or energy bars, you could be reversing the benefits of your exercise. TIMESTAMPS: You don’t warm up 0:52 You only do steady cardio 2:04 Strength training? What is that? 3:25 You misunderstand soreness 4:35 You use light weights to tone up 5:55 There’s no variety in your exercise routine 7:15 #workout #mistakes #weight Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: Warming up before exercising and stretching afterward are necessary components of any weight loss or toning routine. If your goal is to lose weight, many sources and tons of research show that instead of focusing on steady cardio, you should do HIIT workouts. HIIT stands for “high-intensity interval training.” If your exercise routine only involves cardio, it’s time to fall in love with strength training! If you only do exercises that focus on cardio, it means that a lot of your muscles are not getting the attention they need. If you wake up and find that you can’t get out of bed, then that’s too sore. It means you’re pushing your body too much all at once when you actually need to ease into the exercise you’re trying to accomplish. Lifting heavy weights will increase your muscular strength and tone up your muscles. If your goal is weight loss, heavier weights and short reps are also the way to go. If you focus purely on strength training or cardio, you won’t be able to reach the weight loss results you expect.

Your Finger Shape Determines Your Health and Pe...
What can you say about yourself by looking at your fingers? Prevention is better than cure with regards to your health. However, a visit to your doctor isn’t cheap. Luckily, there is an ingenious way to discover potential health risks, and it’s totally free! All you have to do is talk to the hand, specifically your own hand along with its 10 digits. This method is scientifically proven. Today we at Bright Side will tell you what the shape of your fingers says about your personality and your health risks. Based on a 15-year study conducted by the University of Warwick and the Institute of Cancer Research, men with an index finger longer than their ring finger have a 33% lower risk of prostate cancer. However, a team of Chinese researchers revealed that men with this trait are at risk of coronary artery disease. Women with a shorter index finger are twice as likely to have osteoarthritis in their knees, and that’s according to research from the University of Nottingham. TIMESTAMPS: Ring finger vs. index finger 0:42 Fingernail 1:46 Finger shapes 4:40 Thumb 5:39 Palms 6:50 Hand grip strength 7:39 Little finger 8:19 #fingershape #yourpersonality #healthrisks Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: In both men and women, a shorter index finger indicates higher verbal and physical aggression. On a more positive note, it reveals a better sense of direction and superb athletic ability. Take a closer look at your finger, particularly your nail. What is its shape? If it looks like an almond, which many consider to be the most beautiful nail shape, you’re refined, gentle, and oozing with creativity. Square-shaped fingers have a blunt fingertip and may indicate the possibility of gallstones or neurasthenia. Cone-shaped fingers have a round and long shape with a pointed fingertip. This type of digit may lead to illnesses below the neck and above the diaphragm. Spoon-shaped fingers look like soup spoons and are an indication of illnesses like diabetes and heart or cerebrovascular disease. Drumstick-shaped fingers may be an indicator of lung cancer, heart disease, and chronic respiratory disease. Thin and long fingers indicate that the person might be prone to emotional depression or gastrointestinal diseases If your thumb is inflexible, then you might be afraid of change, careful with your finances, and difficult to manipulate. Do you have blotchy, red palms? This condition is called palmar erythema, and it’s a symptom of liver disease. A 2018 study conducted by a group of American and British researchers found that a stronger shake indicates a lower risk of cardiovascular problems and less heart “remodeling.” Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: / brightside Instagram: / brightgram 5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me/
