The Shortest and Longest Lifespans of Animals
Time. Tick tock. We live only a tiny fraction of time that our planet has been around for. Even humanity itself is very young. But life span is a really relative term: there are creatures on our planet that live much shorter lives than us humans, and those who outlive all of us by far… while some are close to immortality. See for yourself. Mayfly has the shortest lifespan on Earth — 24 hours or less. Greenland shark lives over 270 years. It's the longest-living vertebrate. But there are creatures who live over 2,000 years or even... forever! Yup, one of them is biologically immortal. It can go back to being polyp and grow up again infinitely...

15 Ways to Search Google 96% of People Don’t Kn...
Here’s a list of the most effective ways for searching Google to help you find anything in just a couple of clicks. Try these 15 simple methods to search Google for the information! Either this or that 1:07 Searching using synonyms 1:57 Searching within websites 2:40 The power of the asterisk 3:21 When lots of words are missing 3:55 Using a number range 4:38 Searching for a title or URL 5:22 Finding similar websites 5:44 Whole phrases 6:11 Unimportant search words 6:58 Searching for images using images 7:17 Defining words and learning where they come from 7:51 Finding a specific file 8:35 Using Google as a spell checker 9:06 Tracking your packages 9:33 Bonus trick 10:00 SUMMARY Google search is not only a powerful search tool but also the best friend for millions of people. It is always there for you (except for those times when you have no Internet connection – scary), and can help you with anything. It will find the lyrics to that song you heard on the radio but only got “you, me, forever, rain,” share the recipe for the most delicious pie and recommend the best restaurant around. Students can’t go without it, and it is the key source of information for most adults, too. Simply put in a couple of potential variations of what you’re looking for, and separate them by typing the “|” symbol. Instead of this symbol, you can also use “or.” If you need to find websites on a given subject rather than those that include a specific phrase, add the “~” symbol to your search. Sometimes you read an interesting article on a website and find yourself subsequently wanting to share it with your friends or simply reread it. The easiest way to find the desired piece of information again is to search within the website. To do this, type the address of the site, then a keyword or entire phrase from the article, and it should come up immediately. When your cunning memory decides not to let us remember that one keyword, phrase, or number we need to find what we’re looking for, you can turn to the powerful "*" symbol. Just use it in the place of the word/phrase you can’t remember, and you should be able to find the results you’re looking for. If it’s the lengthier half of the phrase you can’t remember rather than a single keyword, try writing out the first and last words and putting “AROUND + (the approximate number of missing words)“ between them. If we want to find out about scientific discoveries during the 20th century, we can write: scientific discoveries 1900…2000. Yes, it is easy like that. It also works with other numbers. BONUS You did some hard work learning to use Google like a pro, so now it’s time to play. If you search Atari Breakout on Google Images, the famous brick breaker will start right there. Enjoy it!

Digging Holes at the Beach Can Get You in Serio...
Digging holes in the sand might seem like harmless fun, but it can actually be really dangerous if the hole is deep. If the sand collapses on someone, it's super hard to escape because sand is heavy and dense. Research even shows that more people die from being trapped and suffocating in sand than from shark attacks! Unlike snow, which is lighter and gives you a chance to make an air pocket if you're trapped, sand doesn't allow that. Once it falls on you, it’s nearly impossible to move. So next time you're at the beach, be careful with those deep holes! #brightside Credit: Carybdea Civitavecchia: By Alessandro Sabucci, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/..., https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...

What If You Poured Some Water On The Sun?
The solar system is vast and full of mystery, and even the people who have explored it don’t know exactly what’s out there. But the sun has never been disputed. Nevertheless, the center of our universe won’t always be there. The timeline for its demise is a long way off, but could anything be done to make it happen sooner? Could pouring a glass of water on the sun extinguish it? TIMESTAMPS: What the sun is composed of 1:07 What will happen with the sun in 5 billion years 2:39 How we could extend our survival by millions of years 4:00 What the huge glass of water would actually do with the sun 4:33 What would be the result 5:34 What would happen if we don’t pour that huge glass of water onto the sun 6:51 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY: The sun is a star, and it’s the center of our universe. It’s composed of 74.9% hydrogen and 23.8% helium, with the remaining 1.3% belonging to the heavier metals of oxygen, carbon, neon, and iron. Right now, the sun is about halfway through the main sequence of its evolution. Astronomers think that the sun gets about 1% brighter every 100 million years. As the sun burns brighter and gets bigger, it will eventually turn into a red giant. The sun has enough mass and currently produces enough energy to burn for a total of 10 billion years. But after 6 billion years, hydrogen fuel will run out. On Earth, combustion needs fuel, air, and heat to occur. We use water to put fires out because they can’t burn through the coating of water over their fuel. But there’s no air in space, and water can’t stop the thermonuclear reactions that cause the sun to burn. So really we’ve just gathered all that water and brought it to the sun only for it to be burned as well. Our huge glass of water would actually make the sun get hotter and burn 6 times brighter. Pouring our gigantic glass of water onto the sun won’t extinguish it, but it will actually create a whole new sun! How cool is that? This new sun, with an even greater mass than our current one, will produce exponentially more energy for us to live off. If we don’t bring that huge glass of water into outer space and pour it onto the sun, then it will continue its thermonuclear fusion and stay on its projected path of destruction as planned.

7 Reasons Why You Need to Do Planks Every Day
How to do plank correctly? Planks are one of the most effective exercises you can do at home. They don’t take much time and effort, and you don’t have to wait long for tangible results. Several incredible changes will happen to your body if you do this exercise regularly. For instance, it can help give you a mood boost. Watch the video to find out all the benefits of regular planks. TIMESTAMPS Your core muscles strengthen 0:55 The risk of back and spine injury reduces 1:20 Your metabolism accelerates 1:58 Your posture improves 2:23 Your coordination improves 2:45 You become more flexible 3:12 Your mood lifts up 3:37 SUMMARY Planks involve all the major groups of core muscles including transverse and oblique abdominal muscles and the buttocks. If you want to exercise regularly without discomfort, you first should make your muscles strong. Planks are an exercise that allows you to strengthen muscles without unnecessary strain on the spine. Planks are especially useful for people who lead a sedentary lifestyle. A daily 10-minute workout at home before or after work provides a higher level of metabolism throughout the day, even during sleep. Planks strengthen the abdominal, back, neck, shoulder, and chest muscles. As a result, you’ll no longer want to stoop. Planks strengthen the abdominal, back, neck, shoulder, and chest muscles. As a result, you’ll no longer want to stoop. Perform the side plank regularly, and you’ll learn to keep your balance. Working out in this way, you stretch the muscles around the shoulders, scapula, and collarbones. Biceps and hip muscles also develop, and your feet and toes become flexible. The planking exercise affects your nervous system. It stretches and relaxes muscles which are usually stiffened due to stress, creating tension throughout the body. Planks help to get rid of anxiety and symptoms of depression, but only if you make them part of your daily life. Do you perform the plank exercise every day? How does it work for you?

Do You Really Need to Get Your Wisdom Teeth Pul...
Wisdom teeth come out between the ages of 12 to 25, and some doctors recommend having them removed. But is it necessary? Do we really need to get our wisdom teeth pulled? In some cases, there is absolutely no need to remove your wisdom teeth. If they don’t interfere with the normal functioning of neighboring teeth, it means that your mouth is big enough to accommodate all four of your wisdom teeth. The same is true if they’re straight and not at an angle to their neighbors, which can create hard-to-reach places for bacteria to grow. If there isn't enough space in the mouth and all adjacent teeth are already snug as it is, the erupting wisdom tooth brings the risk of damaging the nearby teeth. In this case, it’ll cause pain in your whole mouth and problems with chewing! Poor oral hygiene because of stuck food in wisdom teeth that didn’t’ fully come in can cause a large buildup of bacteria, which can lead to even more problems like oral cavity diseases.

13 Hygiene Things We Learnt to Do Wrong
It’s your personal sanctuary, your private concert stage, the place where all your most ingenious ideas and random thoughts pop into your head, and other things just pop out. It's the bathroom, also known as the restroom, lavatory, and, for you engineers out there, it’s the cubical digestive elimination venue. But do you know that when it comes to what you’re doing in there, you probably make some common sanitation mistakes? For example, you think you're washing your hands correctly? Well, besides the water temperature, the problem is, the average person doesn’t spend enough time washing their hands. Or maybe you wash your face in the shower? Not the best option, too. By the way, where do you keep your towels? Right there in the bathroom? It's better to store them elsewhere (of course, unless you wanna rub fungus all over your body). Other videos you might like: Why Your Dog Always Follows You Into The Bathroom • Why Your Dog Always Follows You Every...

TIMESTAMPS: Are you paying attention to your toothbrush? 0:38 When did you buy that loofah? 1:23 Are you washing your hands correctly? 2:02 Do you go overboard with the exfoliation? 2:48 Does your shower curtain fit the tub? 3:33 Do you wash your face in the shower? 4:13 Do you use a towel after a shower? 4:40 Do you flush the right way? 5:16 Is your toilet brush clean enough? 6:12 Do you wear shower shoes? 7:07 Where do you keep your towels? 7:36 You using a medicine cabinet for medicine? 8:15 Are you making the most of your cleaning? 8:54 #hygiene #badhabits #brightside SUMMARY: Your toothbrush is home to more than 10 million bacteria, including E. coli! This nasty germ can cause diarrhea and vomiting. You can’t really get clean in the shower if you’re rubbing germs all over your body. You should throw away your loofah if it’s older than 3 weeks. No difference in washing up with hot or cold water if you scrub, rinse, and dry them properly. In both cases, you’ll remove pretty much the same number of bacteria. Exfoliating your body in the shower is a great way to remove dead skin cells and dirt. But if you do it way too often, it can dry out your skin. If your shower curtain is too long and wide for your tub, it’ll keep bulging and folding in different places. Those places become damp, humid, and confined after each shower. And that’s a perfect environment for mold to grow. Washing your face with freezing cold water can lead to broken blood vessels, causing little thread veins to appear. The best option here is to use lukewarm water and do it over the sink. It’s better to gently pat your skin with a towel post-shower. And if you’re going to use any moisturizer, put it on right away after you’ve stepped out of the shower. If you flush the toilet while the lid is up, then tiny particles from um…whatever you just left in the toilet -- will spray up in the air over a 15-foot radius. The toilet brush should soak in water mixed with bleach for a bit and then be dried fully. The holder needs to be disinfected too. Many people wrongly believe that the dirtiest place in a bathroom is the toilet seat. But in reality, the floor has much more bacteria, especially if you don’t follow that lid-closing tip! You using a medicine cabinet for medicine? The heat and moisture in your bathroom can mess with its chemistry. Not many are aware of the little secret that can make a cleaning sesh even more effective. Raising the air temperature by 10 degrees will be enough to make the alkaline cleansers you use work their magic better and faster.

10 Superpowers You Had When You Were a Baby
10 Unique Superpowers Kids Are All Born With. Only babies have the following superpowers, and we are sure you will want to have some of them yourself! If you or your close friends or family have babies, you already know how amazing they are. Everything they do, especially when it’s for the first time, is a reason for admiration and celebration. First word? “Let’s get the camera so we can record it!” It gets even better when they learn to crawl, sit and stand and walk! Some people, however, are a bit skeptical about babies’ talents and abilities. How dare they! We have proof that babies have unique and surprising superpowers. More than that, we are sure you will want to have some of them yourself. Sadly, you can’t. TIMESTAMPS Babies don’t cry. 1:08 They feel great underwater. 2:11 They swallow and breathe at the same time. 3:06 If necessary, babies can sneeze continuously. 3:42 They fall asleep easily. 4:41 They have a natural accent. 5:29 Newborns know how to crawl. 6:23 Babies are very flexible. 7:04 Their hairstyle may change drastically. 7:30 A baby can triple its weight and not get fat. 8:40 SUMMARY In the first year of their life, babies are developing rapidly. During this period, the weight of a baby may triple. However, the child’s constitution is not affected in any way because it grows very quickly. From birth to 6-months age babies normally grow 1/2 to 1 inch and gain 5 to 7 ounces a week. So, they often double their weight by the time they are five months old. In between 6 and 12 months of age, babies might grow 3/8 inch a month and gain 3 to 5 ounces a week. So, they normally triple their weight by their first anniversary. Scientists have found out that babies cry with a national accent. Researchers have recorded cries of 60 babies born in German or French families and found they have the same melody as in their native language by the second day of life! They get it in the womb when hearing their mother’s voice. According to scientists, infants are attracted by the smell of milk, which lures them. Some experts believe birth attendants should give Mom and baby at least an hour to bond and feed before they take care of the baby. This will give him a chance to follow the natural instinct and crawl to his mother’s breast and feed as nature has planned it. The skeleton of a baby has about 300 bones. With age, many of them grow and coalesce into a single whole. So, a grown adult has 206 bones. But before the bones are connected, the body of a newborn is extremely flexible.

Don't Squish This Bug If You See It, Here's Why
The Brazilian treehopper is one strange-looking bug with antenna-like spiky balls on its head—but don’t squish it! Scientists believe those odd spikes might help it scare off predators or even detect its surroundings, making it a fascinating creature to study. There are plenty of other bugs you shouldn’t touch either, like assassin bugs, which can carry diseases, or brightly colored caterpillars, some of which can sting with venomous hairs. Even harmless-looking ladybugs can release a stinky liquid when threatened. Bugs often have unique roles in ecosystems, like pollinating plants or controlling pests, so it’s best to leave them be. Instead of squishing, let these little critters go about their weird and wonderful lives! 🐛🕷️ Credit: Southernms / Reddit ricoimf / Reddit CC BY 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/... model of a Ball-bearing Treehopper: By Anagoria, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...

If Your Own Number Calls You, Don't Pick Up!
Scammers keep coming up with new and more creative schemes to steal your money or valuable data. If you stay updated on the new phone scam schemes you can protect your money and data from scammers. This new scam has the potential to outsmart all other types of fraud. The Better Business Bureau has already called it the most dangerous phone scam out there! So, if your own number calls you, never ever take the call! Typically, the bad guys calling you from your own number introduce themselves as representatives from your mobile provider. They start by informing you that somebody has hacked your account. Then, they ask you to verify a few things. This sounds so trustworthy and people are already freaked out at the thought of their account being hacked that they willingly give up their personal data. First and foremost, don't answer the phone. There's no way that "you" are calling yourself. Authorities also recommend signing up for the National Do Not Call Registry. And if you get unwanted calls, you can report them to the Federal Trade Commission. Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/...

They start by informing you that somebody has hacked your account and ask to provide your personal data to save your account. -The Federal Communications Commission advises people to always verify callers claiming to be representatives of government agencies and other organizations. Also, be extremely cautious about the information you give to anyone calling you. -Scams involving your local area code, repeated calls scam, the "Can you hear me?" scam are all pretty popular as well. -Avoid talking to strangers on the phone if possible. Be attentive if you have picked up: listen for pauses after each time you say something, it's most likely a robocall, so hang up.

The Only Way to Survive a Sinking Ship
Let's say, you're setting off on a long-awaited cruise; you're on cloud nine, and nothing could be further from your mind than paying attention to the safety precautions. But however unwilling you might be to waste precious vacation time on listening to safety instructions, you should remember that chances are, it could save your life. Yes, the odds of being trapped on a sinking ship nowadays are quite low. But there are things you can do to survive if the near-impossible does happen. Hopefully, it’ll never happen to you, but just in case, it's vitally important to know how to react. SUMMARY: Take part in the first-day safety drill 0:51 What you should do first 1:44 Follow the crew's directions 2:42 How you can help others 3:21 Try to get to a lifeboat as quickly as possible 3:58 What if you have to jump off the ship 5:50 🚤 Why ships sink 🚤 7:39 #survivaltips #ships #brightside SUMMARY: Try to remember where the lifeboat closest to your cabin is, and figure out how to get there if it's dark or the weather is stormy. Also, read the instructions for how to put on and use your floatation device. Try to stay calm - you have no time for panic. If you're in your cabin, immediately put on your floatation device and take anything else that may help you later. The next step, which might become a life-altering one, is to get to safety. And to do that, you need to follow the crew's directions. Regrettably, studies claim that only 35% of people manage to stay calm in a critical situation. If you're one of those lucky ones, help other passengers to get their bearings. If you see a person standing still in the middle of the turmoil, yell at them - it's an effective way to bring them back to reality. After that, concentrate on your top-priority task, which is to get to a lifeboat as quickly as possible. But let's say you look around and see no available lifeboats whatsoever and start to panic! What then? In that case, try to find some floatation device, like a life preserver ring, and throw it into the water. If there's no time left, and you realize you'll have to jump off the ship, always check where you'll land first. Otherwise, you may be hit by some wreckage, a boat, or other people, and end up underwater. The cold shock may pull you underwater even faster than hypothermia sets in. That's why it's vitally important to collect yourself. Surprisingly, every ship sinks in a different way, depending on its center of gravity and size, the shape of its hull, and, of course, the cause of the accident.

Why Ships Are Red Below the Waterline
When’s the last time you looked at a ship? Picture a cruise ship or container ship in the harbor. Did you happen to notice that the bottom of the hull is always painted red? It’s not like you can see that snazzy paint job under the waterline, so what gives? In early times, ships were mostly made of wood. That's why sailors had to cover their hulls (the part that’s sitting in the water) with copper paint to protect the vessel from wood-eating worms, barnacles, and seaweed. It was the copper that added a red tint to the paint. But what about now?

But the hulls are still painted red to honor and maintain the old nautical tradition! You also might’ve noticed numbers painted vertically on the side of the hull, usually toward the bow. The red background helps those stand out more. It doesn't matter how well you protect the hull of your ship with special paint – it’ll never help you completely avoid the harmful growth of barnacles and whatnot. You might not realize it, but almost 95% of all the world's cargo is transported by ship. Right at this moment, at least 20 million containers are moving across the world. Within one year, the average container ship travels the same distance as going three-quarters of the way to the moon and back. The largest cargo ship can carry 18,000 containers with a whopping 745 million bananas inside! Maersk has been the biggest container ship operator in the world since 1996. If you stack up just their containers alone, it would equal 7,530 Eiffel Towers. One-third of all ship crews in the world don't have any kind of communication with the outside world when they're out at open sea. Cruise ships often perform rescue operations. So, don't be surprised if the one you're traveling on stops to save a few fishers in desperate need of help. Cruise ship cabins are built separately from the ship because, otherwise, there wouldn't be enough space for their construction. Cruise ship cabin walls are made of metal, and the main reason is fire safety. During a one-week cruise, a large ship uses 1,800 pounds of coffee, 9,000 pounds of lettuce, 45,000 eggs, and 20,000 ice cream cones! Although there are doctors and nurses on cruise ships, if you have a dental emergency, no-one will be able to help you out. Cruise ships consume a lot of fuel. For example, a large vessel needs about 121,000 gallons of fuel for every day it spends at sea. The largest cruise ships have more than 2,000 crew members. On top of that, such vessels are incredibly expensive to build: they may cost more than $1 billion.
