Dinosaurs Can Come Back in the Near Future
Could the dinosaurs ever come back? The idea that people could bring dinosaurs back someday is both exciting and scary. But it's no joke. Your childhood dream of a real-life Jurassic Park could actually come true in 30 years! And, yes, scientists were initially inspired by the famous movie. They wanted to find a mosquito stuck in amber and extract dinosaur DNA from it. But real-world scientists came across a big problem: the oldest DNA sample they were able to get was only 1 million years old. “Only” because all the dinosaurs went extinct some 65 million years ago! So instead of looking for dinosaur DNA hanging out in the belly of an ancient mosquito, they decided to take DNA from the closest descendants of these reptilian giants. TIMESTAMP: Closest descendants of dinosaurs 0:39 Mini-tyrannosaurus! 1:40 Will a world shared with dinosaurs be cool? 2:34 Why we couldn’t let them live free in the wild 3:51 What if the dinosaurs had never disappeared? 4:27 #dinosaurs #giants #brightside Other videos you might like: A Huge Snake Could Be a Reason Why Dinosaurs Went Extinct • A Huge Snake Could Be a Reason Why Di... 10 Biggest Sea Dinosaurs That Ever Existed on Earth • 10 Biggest Sea Dinosaurs That Ever Ex...

8 Signs You're Way Smarter Than People Around
What being smart means. Intelligence is something rather different from being good at exams or memorizing history books by heart. And if you have just a couple of friends, if you frequently seem lonely, or if you’re a perfectionist, the chances are high that you’re simply smarter than the people who surround you. TIMESTAMPS: You enjoy loneliness 1:10 You feel pressured 4:07 You often daydream 4:53 You're open-minded 5:40 Your self-control is exceptional 6:24 Your indecisiveness stems from overanalyzing 7:13 You often feel dissatisfied or unhappy 7:55 You connect concepts that seem unrelated 8:54 #smartpeople #introvert #self-control Music: Medium Rock by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution licence (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/...) Artist: http://audionautix.com/ Audionautix SUMMARY: - If you or other people in your life prefer being alone, this doesn't necessarily mean loneliness. Sometimes it's just a sign of greater intelligence. - Smart people often see and realize things that the people around them can't comprehend. That's why they know for sure where their life should head. - Daydreaming might not be a distracting habit but a sign of high intelligence. In their study, psychologists from the Georgia Institute of Technology drew a connection between daydreaming and the efficiency and strength of a person's brain. - Highly intelligent people never close themselves off if they come across new ideas or unusual opportunities. They tend to look for alternative solutions and consider the views of other people. - Another thing that makes smart people stand out in a crowd is their ability to overcome impulsiveness. They tend to plan their actions, clarify their goals, explore different strategies, and think about consequences. - Highly intelligent people need to know all the pros and cons before they make a decision. But at the same time, the more they analyze, the less likely they are to act. - For some smart people, their intelligence turns out to be a curse. They simply don't fit in and sometimes wonder about the truthfulness of the expression “ignorance is bliss.” - Smart people can see patterns nobody else pays attention to. This happens due to their ability to draw parallels. #smartpeople #confident #introvert 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/

21 Invaluable Kitchen Hacks Few People Know Of
Did you know that boiling pasta and frying eggs might be easier than they already are? We’ve gathered some life hacks for preparing food, cleaning and organizing your cooking space. TIMESTAMPS Cooking Hacks 0:40 Remove seeds from vegetables 0:46 Remove excess fat from cooked food 1:18 Use film wrap 1:47 Peel citrus fruits 2:16 Make peeling boiled eggs easier 2:44 Squeeze more juice out of your citrus fruits 3:04 Grate soft cheese with less mess 3:28 Cut onions without tears 3:50 How to boil pasta 4:19 Roast a whole chicken 4:43 Parchment paper for cupcakes 5:06 Warm up baked items 5:27 Make perfect basted eggs 5:49 Storage Hacks Keep cooking herbs 6:22 Store shelled nuts 6:43 Cleaning Hacks Clean a cast iron frying pan 7:27 Rid your hands of unpleasant odors 7:55 Return metal kitchenware to its previous shine 8:16 Restore wooden spoons to life 8:39 Clean wooden chopping boards 9:11 Keep your recipes clean 9:36 SUMMARY - To quickly remove seeds from pumpkins or zucchinis, you can use an ice-cream scoop. Its sharp edge easily scrapes out seeds from veggies. - If a dish you’ve cooked turns out to be unexpectedly rich, you can easily remove excess fat using a couple of ice cubes and a paper towel. - Cold food wrap behaves better, sticking and tearing less, leading to less of that familiar feeling of exasperation. - Add soda or vinegar to the water you boil the eggs in. These substances get inside the shells and make it easier to peel them off. - To squeeze the last drops out of a lemon, first cool the fruit in the fridge. And then zap it in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. - The freezer will help you here, too. Put the onions in for 30 minutes before chopping them. - When your roast a chicken whole, lay it on its breast. The breast contains most of the meat; the closest it is to the source of heat, the quicker it will cook through. - When warming up pizza or other baked items in the microwave, put a cup of water in alongside it. - If you freeze herbs in an ice-cube tray, their vitamin content is preserved. Try freezing them in water or olive oil. #cookingshacks #cleaningtips #cookingtips 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/

13 Psychology Tricks That Work On Anybody
How To Understand People Better? Every human being is a unique universe. However, psychologists keep discovering new behavioral patterns that are believed to be rooted in our childhood and can be applied to everyone. Do you want to learn how to make people respect you and listen to you? Have a look at these useful psychology tricks – they might affect your communication skills positively and make your life easier in some way. TIMESTAMPS How to find out if a person likes you 0:44 How to make people take you seriously 1:06 How to win ‘Rock, paper, scissors’ 1:21 How to make people agree with you 1:41 How to behave in a crowd 2:11 How to get rid of a song that is stuck in your head 2:44 How to make your kids eat broccoli 3:09 What to do when someone is watching you 3:37 How to make anyone help you carry stuff 3:55 How to shake hands (the ‘warm hand’ trick) 4:22 How to become a good listener 4:41 How to make someone like you and help you 5:07 What if someone doesn't like you 5:31 SUMMARY - To determine if a person likes you, pick a word and every time he or she uses this word, nod, and smile. - Every time you tell them something, say that your father taught you this. People tend to believe parents’ advice inherently. - To win at the ‘Rock, Paper, Scissors’ game, ask your opponent a random question right before playing it. - If you want people to agree with you, just nod and maintain eye contact while you’re talking. ‘The nod’ sign means ‘everything I’m saying is true.’ - In crowded places, look right in front of you, in the direction in which you’re going. You will be impressed watching the crowd give way to you. - If a certain song is stuck in your head and you would love to forget it, try to think of the end of the song. - Go ahead and ask your kids if they want two or five stalks of broccoli instead of asking them if they want broccoli. Thus, you’ve made your mind and chose broccoli for their lunch, but they feel like they have made their own decision. - If someone is actually stalking you, they will yawn when you do, since yawning is highly contagious. - Your friend will most likely help you carry, let’s say, a box of your stuff if you continue talking while handing over the box. - If you know you’re going to shake hands with someone, make sure your hands are warm enough. Warm hands promote a friendly atmosphere. - Whatever your friend has just said, paraphrase it and repeat it. The person who talks to you will subconsciously get the feeling you are a great listener. - If you want someone to help you, start your phrase with the words ‘I need your help...’ - On one hand, people tend not to help those whom they don’t like, but on the other hand, it’s such a small favor that your ‘hater’ most likely won’t be able to say ‘No’. Eventually, he will come to the conclusion that you’re not that bad.

9 Tips for a Perfect Hollywood Smile
How to whiten your teeth naturally at home? Are you looking for way ways to whiten your teeth? We found 9 methods that you can try at home and that won’t do you any harm at all. If you follow this advice on a regular basis, you’ll see your teeth lighten up a few tones! TIMESTAMPS DIY whitening toothpaste 3:16 Tea tree oil 4:30 Strawberry paste 5:26 Coconut oil 6:27 Activated charcoal mask 7:08 Banana peel whitener 7:50 Lemon mouthwash 8:41 Basil leaves 9:10 Aloe vera 9:50 SUMMARY First of all, it can be genetics. This one is hard to beat. Yellowish teeth tone might be just a thing in your family, and you inherited it from your parents. Don’t blame them. They also gave you a sharp mind and beautiful eyes. Second, it is certain medications. The antibiotics doxycycline and tetracycline can even darken the teeth of children under 8. Research has shown these medications can even affect a baby who is not born yet. If your mother took them in the second half of her pregnancy, it might give you permanent stains on your teeth as you grow up. Dentin is also to blame for a not so white smile. It is a material, which lives under your enamel. When the enamel is thin, you can see the dentin. It is that deep yellow to the brownish color we hate to see on our teeth.

A Mysterious Object Punched a Hole in the Milky...
Space is full of mysteries that have remained unsolved for centuries. But recently, the cosmos has baffled the world with a new, scary abnormality. Apparently, something is tearing holes in the Milky Way, the galaxy that contains our Solar System! 😮 What if the hole in the Milky Way was torn by a supermassive black hole like the one that dwells in the center of our galaxy? If it was, it’d be a pretty scary scenario. If these two black holes got too close, they wouldn't be able to escape each other's gravity, and a collision might be inevitable. And it would be an extremely violent event. But the thing is that the telescopes failed to find the source of the damage. So what could this unseen bullet be? Scientists have several theories.

TIMESTAMPS: The gap in the stellar stream 0:29 Is it a stray star? 1:39 Or is it a supermassive black hole? 1:59 And then what? 2:29 What baffles astronomers 3:35 What if it was dark matter that harmed our galaxy? 4:48 The intruder might be hiding somewhere in the galaxy 6:12 The "ghost" galaxy 7:10 #outerspace #milkyway #blackhole Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: - This year, Harvard scientist Dr. Ana Bonaca noticed a weird disturbance in our galaxy's stellar streams. A stellar stream is a line of stars that are moving together through galaxies. - One day, Dr. Bonaca noticed a gap in the stream, and this gap had a strange ragged edge. - One theory suggests that the intruder is a stray star. However, the hole is too enormous for this idea to sound plausible. - Luckily for us, there aren’t any supermassive black holes in the vicinity, so this theory fails to explain the mysterious bullet-hole phenomenon. - Naturally, astronomers have continued their observations. But what baffles them is that there’s no large object made from ordinary, light-reflecting matter moving away from the bullet-hole. - What if it was dark matter that harmed our galaxy, and what if it reached Earth? Unlike a stream of regular matter, dark matter wouldn't see the Earth as an obstacle. It would just pass through. But that's not the most amazing part! - However, Dr. Bonaca still doesn't rule out the possibility that the intruder is a luminous object that, after tearing a hole in the Milky Way, is hiding somewhere in the galaxy. - The intruder could’ve been moving at an incredibly high speed, and wouldn’t have to be very massive to tear a hole in the stellar stream. - The edge of the galaxy can even contain traces of a "ghost" galaxy - one that's older than our Milky Way! - Curiously, the astronomers who discovered the "ghost" galaxy, which is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, can’t explain its origin and nature. Named Ant 2, the galaxy was dubbed "ghost" because it's weirdly dim.

Scientists Finally Explain Why Asians Look So Cute
What does it mean to be “cute”? Beauty standards and perceptions of attractiveness vary across cultures, but one thing is clear: being called “cute” is something entirely different. Is there a scientific explanation of why our brains perceive some people as “cute” and others as “beautiful,” “hot,” and so on? We’re about to answer all of them with the help of science! TIMESTAMPS: Why we find babies so cute 1:13 What the EDAR gene is 2:28 What sexual dimorphism is 3:47 How Korean pop music is changing the world 4:35 #jimin #BTS #asianbeauty Preview photo credit: Park Ji-min at Aladdin fansign on September 22, 2017: By Jimson Weed - 170922 알라딘 팬싸, CC BY 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/..., https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index... Animation is created by Bright Side. Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY: - There are other traits in babies that our brain, for whatever reason, finds adorable. They have a disproportionate head-to-body size and short limbs. In fact, if babies were proportioned more like mini-adults, we probably wouldn’t be as inclined to coo at them! - East Asian people tend to hold onto these features into adulthood, a phenomenon called “neoteny.” Studies have found that neotenous faces are often perceived as more social and feminine, whereas non-neotenous faces are seen as more intimidating. - The EDAR gene controls the development of our hair, skin, and teeth. This mutation causes people to have thicker hair shafts, more oil glands (which helps keep skin looking youthful for longer), and less breast tissue in females. - Sexual dimorphism is what makes males and females of the same species look different. So, less sexual dimorphism means men with neotenous faces tend to look more feminine. - The recent surge in the worldwide popularity of Korean pop music (abbreviated as Kpop) with groups like BTS has put this cultural difference in the spotlight. Rather than exhibiting the sort of “macho” features of Western standards of male beauty, sensational Kpop stars like Jimin have smooth faces, slim bodies, and an overall feminine appearance.

If You Do THIS Every Night, Your Face Will Look...
Why You Should Remove Your Makeup Before Bed. How many times have you felt too lazy to wash off your makeup at night? If you avoid this nighttime ritual, you should know that leaving your makeup on overnight brings more harm than you can imagine! Here is a list of the 8 most important reasons why you should always wash off your makeup. Watch till the end to learn why this simple rule is so important in the fight against the most annoying problem, acne. You’ll be surprised how easily and quickly it works! Other videos you might like: 7 Foods That Can Be Dangerous for Your Skin • Видео 10 Korean Secrets to Make Your Skin Younger and Healthier • Видео 10 Foods That Make You Look 10 Years Younger • 10 Foods That Make You Look 10 Years ... TIMESTAMPS: Delaying the aging process 0:38 Nourishing your face 1:03 Fighting allergies 1:31 Avoiding skin pigmentation 1:55 Keeping your lips hydrated 2:23 Preventing bags under your eyes 2:44 Preventing your eyelashes from falling out 3:05 Preventing acne 3:35 SUMMARY: - Scientists have proven that your skin regenerates itself every night. If it’s not clean, it will age more quickly. - Skin cells regenerate faster at night, and you can help your skin with this process. Remove makeup, and then apply a moisturizer with antioxidants. - Your skin may be prone to allergic reactions, even if you’ve never noticed any visible symptoms. Sleeping in your makeup can cause eczema and other serious health problems. - Have you ever noticed those dark spots on the face that some women can’t cover up even with the best base available? They can be the consequences of chronic allergic reactions if you don’t clean your skin properly. - If you think that there is no lipstick left on your lips by the time you go to bed, you’re wrong. Even if you don’t see it, lip gloss and lipstick continue to dehydrate the delicate skin and eventually lead to dry and chapped lips. - If you often leave your makeup on, the skin under your eyes will soon become darker. In other words, dark puffy circles and bags under the eyes are on their way. - Never leave your mascara on when you go to bed. It dries overnight and causes your lashes to fall out. Your eyelids become irritated and swollen. - If you think this problem occurs only in teenagers, you couldn’t be more wrong. In fact, acne can make a comeback if you don’t wash your face. Clogged pores usually lead to pimples and inflammation.

What Would Happen If the Titanic Met the Kraken?
How large was the iceberg that sank the Titanic? Months before the disaster struck, a ginormous chunk of ice had broken away from a glacier in southwest Greenland. It was made of the snow that had fallen about 100,000 years ago - when mammoths were still roaming the planet. And when the iceberg just started its journey, it was a huge thing. Almost 1,700 ft (518 m) long, it also weighed 75 million tons! Even after melting into the water for months, the iceberg still weighed an impressive one and a half million tons. Its top part was towering over the water for almost 100 ft (30m). But what people saw was just a tiny part of a jumbo piece of ice. The largest part of any iceberg is hidden under the surface, with a mere one-tenth visible above the water. "The Titanic iceberg" wasn't an exception. The moment the ship collided with it, the vessel was doomed. But what if what we know about the disaster is not true? What if it had been the Kraken that sank the Titanic? A legendary creature feared by everyone who sets off on a sea voyage...

13 Scariest Theories That'll Make Your Blood Ru...
Where did we come from? Where are we headed? What is our world? Are we alone in the universe? When the mental gears really start moving, people can come up with theories that are downright terrifying! In this video, you'll learn about 13 of the scariest theories that’ll make you question everything you thought you knew about your reality. TIMESTAMPS: The Great Filter 1:28 Higher dimensional beings 2:33 False Vacuum 3:23 We're living in a black hole 4:10 White Holes 4:50 The Multiverse Theory 5:25 Brain in a Vat 6:03 Roko's Basilisk 6:48 The Transcension Hypothesis 7:21 The Terror Management Theory 8:00 The Sixth Mass Extinction 8:35 The Fermi Paradox 9:17 The Simulation Theory 10:00 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY: - According to The Great Filter theory, somewhere out there exists a Great Filter. The main purpose of this Filter is to stop those civilizations that advance to the level of star colonization. - What if a 4D being was looking at you from their four-dimensional world? Just like a 2D person, you wouldn't be able to notice this creature in your 3D world. - The False Vacuum theory says that our universe exists in a false phase state, which means that it's just a temporary thing. What's more, it's only a small part of a larger universe. - You’re probably well-aware that black holes suck in everything around them. But what happens to the stuff it engulfs? What if a black hole already swallowed us up long ago? Surprisingly, some physicists deem this theory pretty plausible. - While black holes engulf all matter so that even light can’t escape, white holes are quite the opposite. These formations are believed to spit out everything that black holes suck in. - The Multiverse theory claims that there might be countless other realities besides our own. - The Brain in a Vat theory says that you very well could just be a brain in a jar. Something is feeding you false impulses, and you're hallucinating your whole life and reality. - Roko's Basilisk is a hypothesis that some future super-powerful artificial intellect can retroactively punish people who struggled against it in the past (which is our present) or even those who did nothing to help bring it about. - The Transcension Hypothesis states that a civilization eventually gets to a certain intellectual level. - According to the Terror Management theory, everything we do comes from the fear of death. Our wishes and motivation are based on just one thing, and it’s the idea that one day we will stop existing. - The Sixth Mass Extinction theory is probably the most horrifying. Yet, unfortunately, it’s the most probable scenario. Some biologists believe that humanity is headed for or already passing through the sixth mass extinction - The Fermi Paradox theory explains why we probably wouldn't recognize an advanced alien civilization even if it was right under our nose. - According to the Simulation theory, we all live in an incredibly complex computer game. #spacefacts #blackhole #greatfilter 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/

13 Ordinary Things Pilots Can't Do on Board
What is being a pilot like? Commercial airline pilots have loads of perks: an astonishing office view, an opportunity to see the planet from the altitude of 35,000 ft, everyone's respect, and admiration. But there are some seemingly innocent things pilots can't enjoy while flying a plane. Did you know, for example, that pilots rarely know who they're going to fly with until they take their place in the cockpit? Or that there's a "sterile cockpit rule" that prohibits pilots from doing anything but controlling the plane until it climbs to a higher altitude? Or that most commercial airline pilots can only wear a mustache at the most? Intrigued? So here’s the full list. TIMESTAMPS: No beard 0:34 No coffee for Airbus A350 pilots 1:00 No more than 8 working hours at night and 9 during the day 1:24 No chit-chat below 10,000 ft 1:42 No listening to music or radio 2:03 No food choice 2:30 No choosing your partner 2:52 No reading books 3:05 No gadgets at any time during the flight 3:26 Follow the 2-man rule! 3:46 No landing and going home 4:18 No napping whenever you want 4:36 No passenger visits 5:08 Rules that flight attendants can't break 5:29 Other videos you might like: 10 Things You Didn’t Know About Flight Attendants • 10 Things You Didn’t Know About Fligh...

What If You Ate Moldy Bread by Accident?
Is it dangerous to eat moldy bread? 🍞 Can you eat a clean part of eat? If mold is only on one little corner, so maybe you can just cut that piece off? Or maybe search the loaf for a slice without this unwelcomed furry-looking bread invader? Just hold it right there! You don’t wanna do that, and you’re about to find out why! TIMESTAMPS: Is it safe to eat the “clean” part of moldy bread? 1:17 What mold is 2:05 Can you just get rid of the mold? 4:05 Does mold have any benefits? 4:21 The side effects of ingesting mold 5:47 Other foods that are dangerous if they’re moldy 7:02 What moldy foods you can eat 8:04 What the prevention should be 9:03 #moldyfood #moldybread #healthtips Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: - The fact is that there’s no such thing as “a clean part of moldy bread”! The tiny greenish spots you see are only the tip of the iceberg. - That’s the part you see rearing its ugly head on your bread! These sporangia are attached to stalks called sporangiophore. And just like a plant, mold has roots called rhizoids that can only be seen under a microscope. - Technically, you can kill mold at very high temperatures, but your toaster isn’t gonna achieve that. The best and safest solution is to throw away the entire loaf and buy some fresh bread. - Mold is intentionally grown to make different types of blue cheese, like Gorgonzola, Stilton, and Roquefort. There are also cheeses such as Brie and Camembert that are produced by white surface mold. - The side effects of ingesting mold are no joke. You might experience minor stomach discomfort or some really scary stuff, like allergic reactions, respiratory problems, muscle tremors, and food-poisoning accompanied with vomiting and diarrhea. Some molds have even been linked to cancer! - Along with bread, here are some other foods that should be tossed immediately if you’ve noticed mold growing on them. The softer the food, the easier the mold can penetrate. - There are steps you can take to prevent mold from forming on your food items, at least for some time. A lot of it depends on how you store your food. - For perishable items, don’t leave them out in the open for more than 2 hours. Immediately consume leftovers within 3 or 4 days. As for hard cheeses, after plucking off the moldy part you, should store it in a different container.

Why Car Tires Are Black and 22 Other Simple Why-s
So you're sitting in your car at that intersection, waiting for the light to change from red to green when you think, “Hmm, why green? Why not blue or purple? Why are things colored the way they are — and how many ways can you answer that question before this light changes? Did you know, for example, that before 1905, taxis were red and green? Then, Albert Rockwell introduced a model with a 15-horse-power engine that became the standard. He painted it in yellow because… his wife liked that color! And maintaining marital bliss is a good reason for anything! 😉 Other videos you might like: How Color Blind People See the World • How Color Blind People See the World A Color Test That Can Tell Your Mental Age • A Color Test That Can Tell Your Menta... 29 Things That Exist Only in Japan • 29 Things That Exist Only in Japan TIMESTAMPS: Traffic Lights 0:21 Green Money 1:00 Black and White Crosswalks 1:21 Yellow School Buses 1:52 Yellow Taxis 2:14 Black Tires 2:33 Green Screens 2:52 Red Barns 3:21 Blue Jeans 3:50 Black Belts 4:25 Black Clarinets 4:55 Black and White Soccer Balls 5:04 Black and White Referee Uniforms 5:37 Orange Basketballs 6:00 White Toilet Paper 6:15 White Wedding gowns 6:54 White Flags of Surrender 7:08 Green Chalkboards 7:39 Blue Ribbon for First Place 8:06 Santa’s Red Suit 8:29 Red Fire Trucks 8:54 Pink Bubble Gum 9:17 #colors #everydaylife #brightside SUMMARY: - Traffic Lights Blink Green for “Go” because — In the 1800s, dangerous heavy machinery had green lights that lit up and warned factory workers they were “on” or “going.” - Traffic Lights Blink Red for “Stop” because — Red is associated with alarm! - Green Money— Back when the US started printing paper bills, green ink cost less than other colors, letting the treasury keep more of what they printed! - We transport kids in big vehicles of the yellow color because it’s the one our eyes see first, even in our peripherals. - Camouflaging dirt isn’t the reason manufacturers add the chemical compound “carbon black” to their product. “Carbon black” makes tires stronger! - Farmers painted their barns red because those barns were huge and paint was expensive. - Dark-blue indigo dye washes away … bit by bit … in each wash. As it does, it softens the fabric, creating that special blue jean feel! - Black Clarinets — That’s because clarinets are made from black woods, like ebony. - Back then, most TVs were black and white, so designers created a ball with contrasting pentagons, kind of like the stripes in the crosswalk. - The first basketballs were brown leather. Yeah, brown as in, the same color as the wooden court! In the 1950s, they switched to orange because it was easier to see. - Mainstream manufacturers bleach their toilet paper to make it sparkly white because white is associated with cleanliness. - Believe it or not, white dresses were for mourning until Queen Victoria—one of history’s first style influencers— wore a white dress at her wedding and changed tradition forever! - The Blue Riband was a pennant awarded to the fastest passenger ship crossing the Atlantic. Over the years, Riband got changed to Ribbon, but the blue part stuck. - Red means emergency, so it’s a natural choice for fire engines. But today, more and more fire trucks are being painted … lime green and yellow! - When Walter Diemer created his best bubble gum recipe—less sticky, more bubbles!—he made it pink because, well, that was the color he had!

If you chose more Bs, you usually make decisions under the influence of your emotions. -Would you rather save your significant other, your family member, or a briefcase with 5 million dollars?

15 Ways to Lose More Weight While Sleeping
How to lose weight while you sleep? We can all agree that exercising regularly is the best way to lose weight and stay healthy. But do we exercise daily? No. Do we sleep daily? Yes. So what could be a better way to lose weight than to do so while we sleep? The first thing you’ll need to do is boost your metabolism. As scientific studies show, cold water forces your body to burn more calories since it has to heat up to get that water in your belly warmer. The same concept works with the water you’re bathing in. By the way, all these tips will help you burn calories as you sleep. But just sleeping for 8 hours gets rid of 300 calories on its own! TIMESTAMPS: Boost your metabolism 0:25 Chug that water 1:01 Take cold showers 1:28 Snooze 2:08 Lower the room temperature 2:48 Get yourself that morning pick-me-up 3:22 Change the oil, not the recipe 3:55 Spice things up with your meals 4:22 Season with apple cider vinegar 4:53 Eat carbs 5:20 Munch on those proteins 5:54 Hit the gym 6:23 Do some high-intensity workouts 6:53 Add fiber in your diet 7:32 Don’t cut your calories 8:02 NIH Clinical Center - Aerial: By National Cancer Institute, Public Domain https://creativecommons.org/publicdom..., https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index...
