Every year, the U.S. drops millions of tiny, hungry worms from planes over Central America, but it's not a prank or a bizarre experiment—it’s part of an epic battle against screwworms! These worms are actually baby flies, known as screwworm larvae, that can cause terrible infections in animals by eating living flesh. So why drop them? The worms are made special in a lab so they can't reproduce, and when they mate with wild screwworms, it helps wipe out the whole screwworm population without any new eggs being laid. By doing this, scientists keep screwworms from spreading and harming livestock, pets, and wildlife in both Central America and the U.S. It’s a powerful and clever way to protect animals, keep ecosystems balanced, and save millions of dollars in potential damage every year!

Chia seeds are often considered one of the healthiest foods in the world. And it's not surprising at all since they're packed with crucial elements and minerals. One great benefit of chia seeds is that they can help you to lose weight. That's all thanks to soluble fiber, which slows the absorption of food and makes you feel full for longer. Moreover, chia seeds also contain a high amount of protein, which significantly reduces appetite.

There are lots of common beliefs about intelligent people: they don’t give in to laziness, have a perfect memory, and don’t use obscenities. However, research shows that a high IQ is often associated with quite unexpected habits and peculiarities. Did you know that laziness is actually a sign of high intelligence?

TIMESTAMPS: You forget about trifles 0:55 You occasionally swear 1:40 You trust people 2:10 You don’t like red meat 2:43 You're good at giving ideas 3:13 You’re prone to be lazy 3:49 You have a cat 4:18 You sleep little 4:58 Bonus that might help you feel much better about yourself 5:30 SUMMARY: A perfect memory has always been a sign of cleverness, but the latest research shows it’s forgetfulness that actually points at a high level of intellect. More and more studies prove that people who swear often have a much wider vocabulary, which is a sign of a high IQ. Talented people are believed not to trust anyone. However, scientists proved that intelligent individuals are more trusting. Recent polls at Southampton University have shown a curious fact: people with a high IQ prefer poultry meat, fish, and vegetables over red meat. More often than not, people with a high IQ are capable of thinking up alternative solutions but not using them in life. One experiment showed that people with a high IQ are likely to get buried in thought and be less active, while ordinary individuals are bored more often and try to fill up their schedule. Some studies at Carroll University in Waukesha show that people who prefer cats are calmer, more sensitive, and have a higher IQ, while dog lovers are more active, open to others, and are used to obeying the rules. Intelligent people tend to stay up late, which results, more often than not, in them sleeping little. They have to wake up early in the morning to go to work or school.

What’s on the other side of a black hole? That’s one of the biggest mysteries in space science! Black holes are super strong gravity pits, so once anything crosses the "event horizon" (their point of no return), it gets pulled in and can’t escape—not even light. Scientists think that matter inside a black hole might get squished into a tiny, dense point called a "singularity." Some theories suggest there could be a "white hole" on the other side that spits out what black holes take in, or even a wormhole that leads to a different part of the universe. But since nothing can escape a black hole, we can’t actually peek inside. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

Your iPhone has a cool hidden feature that many people don’t even know about! It can actually work like a magnifying glass, helping you zoom in on tiny text or details that are hard to see. This feature is called "Magnifier," and you can turn it on in your settings under "Accessibility." Once it's set up, you can triple-click the side button, and your phone will use its camera to zoom in and magnify anything in front of it. It’s perfect for reading small print, examining little details, or even getting a closer look at nature. This trick is a handy tool that can make your iPhone even more helpful in everyday situations!

Earth has some massive volcanoes called "supervolcanoes" that can cause huge eruptions, way bigger than anything we’ve ever seen in modern times. Some of these, like Yellowstone in the U.S. and Campi Flegrei in Italy, show signs of activity that scientists are keeping a close eye on. A supervolcano eruption could release so much ash and gas into the atmosphere that it would block sunlight, leading to a dramatic drop in global temperatures and affecting food supplies. The idea that these giants are "waking up" sounds scary, but scientists work hard to monitor any changes and understand what’s happening deep below. Right now, they’re improving ways to detect early warning signs, like small earthquakes or rising ground, that might hint at an eruption. While we're not totally prepared, knowing more about these supervolcanoes helps us get ready, just in case.

How to Recognize Protein Deficiency. Protein plays a vital role in the daily functioning of our bodies. If you don’t have enough of it, your body will suffer. According to UN data, around 1 billion people worldwide are protein deficient. How do you know if you’re one of them? You’d better watch out for these 10 signs and symptoms related to protein deficiency so you’ll know when there’s a problem. To make things clear, when we say “not enough protein,” we mean somewhere under 56 g for men and 46 g for women per day. For kids, it varies from 19 g to 34 g depending on their age. This figure may also vary if you are pregnant or ill. According to the US Department of Agriculture, you can calculate a more specific amount using a simple formula. Try to eat about 0.36 g of protein for every pound of your weight. TIMESTAMPS Food cravings 0:41 Loss of muscle mass and joint pain 1:54 Skin and nail problems 2:41 Hair loss 3:24 Fatty liver 4:11 Increased risk of bone fractures 4:39 Sleep deprivation 5:19 Headaches and frequent illnesses 5:48 Swollen feet 6:18 Brain fog 6:38 Bonus: How to get enough protein 7:12 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY -If you always feel hungry and have cravings for food and snacks, it may be because of a low-protein, high-carb, and sugar-filled diet. -When you’re unable to build muscle mass (even if you’re working out), this can lead to muscle waste or atrophy. It can also make you constantly feel tired and gain fat. -A protein deficiency can result in weak and brittle nails. In a few cases, people might observe white bands and brownish spots on their nails. A protein deficiency can affect the skin as well because protein enables cell regeneration, produces new cells, and replaces dead ones. -If you don’t get enough nutrients, your hair may thin and fade. This happens because the body stops using protein for nonessential things, like hair growth, in an effort to preserve it. -A fatty liver is one of the most common symptoms of a protein deficiency. If left untreated, it can cause fatty liver disease, which leads to inflammation, liver scarring, and potential liver failure. -Just as with your muscles, a low intake of protein can also affect your bones. Not having enough protein leads to a weakening of the bones, thus increasing the risk of bone fractures. -If you have trouble sleeping or suffer from sleep deprivation, it’s likely linked to a protein deficiency. -There can be multiple reasons for your headaches, and 2 reasons are anemia and low blood sugar levels. You can blame a lack of protein for both. -Edema is a condition in which extra fluid builds up in your body and makes your legs swell. Harvard Health Publications links low protein levels and edema. -If you experience a lack of motivation, poor memory, or trouble learning anything new, it’s a sign that you are protein deficient. -To get enough protein, balance your meat, dairy, fish, and egg intake with healthy vegetarian and vegan proteins. Make beans, nuts and seeds (such as almonds, flax, chia, and hemp), spinach, and broccoli your new best friends.

How many habitable planets are there? Water is the basis of life in any part of the universe. So potentially inhabited planets must have liquid water on them to support life. An incredible number of circumstances must come together for this. The planet must be in the habitable zone of the star. A little closer to the star, and the water will evaporate, leaving no chance for oceans and seas to form. This is what happened on Venus. Too far from the star, and the planet becomes too cold. Water can only exist in the form of ice on the surface and there just might be liquid water deep below. Neptune is one example of this. In our galaxy alone, there are countless stars. Really you can’t count on them. Near each of them may be a planet. They are called exoplanets. And some of them may be in the habitable zone and have everything for life to form on them. From a list of 4,500 known exoplanets, scientists have identified 24 that can be superhabitable. This is the type of planet that is suitable for the existence and evolution of life even more than the Earth! #brightside TIMESTAMPS: What makes a planet habitable 0:01 Teegarden b 3:37 Kepler-1638 b 4:11 LHS 1140 b 4:41 TRAPPIST-1 5:22 Kepler-452b 5:51 👉 Proxima Centauri b (the closest exoplanet to us!) 👈 6:24 ❓ Can we colonize them? ❓ 6:54 Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: / brightside Instagram: / brightgram 5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me/

There are few things finer than sinking into bed after a long, hard day, right? But before you hit the sack, you probably have a bedtime routine that might include putting your hair up - if it’s long. But, this habit could do more harm than good. Anyone with long hair might think that sleeping with a ponytail protects it from getting tangled or damaged. Turns out, this habit can trigger hair loss. It could even lead to a health condition called traction alopecia. Your hair especially deserves a break at night if you style it a lot during the day. But in fact, sleeping with a ponytail isn’t the only common bedtime habit that can have a negative effect on your body or sleep...

TIMESTAMPS: Why it's bad for your health 0:19 Going to bed hungry 1:51 Sleeping on your stomach 2:26 Checking social media 3:05 Working out 3:36 Not stretching 4:14 Leaving a glass of water near your bed 4:49 Sleeping with pets 5:22 Sleeping with wet hair 6:10 Choosing the wrong pillowcase 6:44 Not taking time to unwind 7:20 #sleeping #haircare #brightside SUMMARY: Tight buns or braids, and even sleeping with rollers, can also be harmful to your mane. Your hair especially deserves a break at night if you style it a lot during the day. But if you want to get it out of your face before turning in, try wrapping it up in a silk or satin scarf, or get yourself a sleeping cap. Having a pre-bedtime snack full of protein and fiber boosts your metabolism, which is crucial for maintaining a healthy weight. Also, if your body doesn’t get any fuel before getting rest, insulin levels drop. Sleeping on your stomach puts additional strain on your spinal cord and back, which doesn’t allow your muscles to relax during rest. Staring at your device’s screen also poses a threat to your eyes. Blue light can damage light-sensitive cells in the retina. Doing vigorous physical exercises makes you feel more alert and awake, making it hard to doze off. While experts are still not sure what exactly causes night leg cramping, they advise stretching the muscles regularly to lower your risk of getting them. Sharing a bed with a pet is especially not advised for elderly people and those who have diabetes. On top of that, humans and animals have different sleep cycles. Your face touches a pillowcase for much longer than any other fabric. That’s why getting a silk one is important if you want to keep your face looking good.

How to survive a wild animal attack? How to survive in the wild? There are many rules out there explaining how to behave in emergency situations. But are all of them really that effective? We at Bright Side have found out that some of those survival tips are actually myths that are not only useless but also potentially dangerous. TIMESTAMPS If you’re bitten by a snake, you need to suck the position out 0:26 If you get lost in the forest, you need to find some food 0:56 A lean-to is a great shelter from bad weather 1:22 The fluid in a cactus can save you from dying of thirst 1:43 If you encounter a bear on the trail, play dead 2:05 If an animal eats something, you can eat it, too 2:29 Moss grows on the north side of a tree 2:48 If someone gets hypothermia, put them into a hot tub 3:03 If a shark attacks you, you should punch it in its nose 3:30 SUMMARY Snake venom enters the bloodstream extremely quickly, and it doesn’t accumulate at the bitten area. Trying to suck it out is ineffective! The better solution is to get to the hospital as quickly as possible. A healthy person can live without food for quite a long time: up to 6 weeks. Your first priority is actually to find a source of safe drinking water and build a shelter where you can hide from extreme weather. Before you get started on a suitable shelter, you should assess your surroundings and weather conditions. You need a shelter that can protect you from the wind, rain, or scorching sun. Most of the time, cacti are poisonous. Drinking their fluid will make you sick, causing you to vomit up precious liquid and leaving you more dehydrated. If you suddenly see a bear, stop and back away slowly, keeping a close eye on the bear. Also, keep your distance! This will show the bear that you don’t have any pretensions of its territory. Some berries and mushrooms that are deadly to humans aren’t poisonous to many animals and birds. So you can eat only those berries and mushrooms you can accurately identify as edible species without a doubt. Moss can grow on all sides of a tree – it depends on environmental conditions. Don’t rely on this popular myth while trying to find your way out of the forest, or you will get lost. Never rub the frostbitten areas because this may cause further tissue damage. You also shouldn’t use hot water or a heating lamp to warm the victim. Instead, you should warm the person’s core up gradually in order not to cause shock to their body. Eyes and gills of the shark are much more vulnerable. Also, try to put a solid object between you and the animal – for example, a diving mask or swim board.

Bright Side is going to teach you a mathematical trick which requires no special preparation. This trick will confuse your math teacher and impress your friends. You’re going to fall in love with math after this even if you haven't been a fan of it before. TIMESTAMPS The art of Math 0:58 The trick 2:13 The trick explained 5:46 Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY -Albert Einstein said that “Pure mathematics is, in its way, the poetry of logical ideas.” In Math, 2 plus 2 always equals 4. Or does it? -Be amazed as you see magic happening in front of you. You’ll see how a number picked at random turns into a number previously saved in a secret folder. -Pick any five-digit number. You take your secret five-digit number and lose the first digit, then add 2 to the last digit. Now ask one of your friends or even your teacher to give you any number. Next, your task is to name a number, which will give 9999 if you add it to the previous number. Then, again, it is your friends’ turn to pick the four digits. Once again, you name the next number. Remember it has to give us 9999 in the end. Now let us put all the numbers together. There you go – we’ve got the number it all started with.

According to statistics, most drivers change their car once every six years, which is a pretty long period of time. To take the best out of your car in those six years, to save money and to avoid constant repairing, you’d better avoid ten mistakes many of us make when buying a car. One day you’ll probably decide to sell your car. That’s why you have to consider some important features. According to Paint supplier PPG Industries, white is the most popular car color in the US with 35 percent of all sold vehicles. It is followed by black with 17 percent, and silver and gray that both got a 12 percent popularity. In case you want to purchase some good old German luxury brands such as BMW or Mercedes-Benz, you have to be prepared to pay around $17,800 and $12,900 for ten years of maintenance accordingly. US popular brand Cadillac comes next with an average $12,500 maintenance cost for the same period of time. Additional airbags, a passenger sensing system that can tell the size of the person in the seat and save smaller children in case of a crash, auto-dimming mirrors to reduce the glare coming from headlights at night, head restraints and ABS are some of the things you don’t want to save money at. Make a check-list of features you need to check and think of where you’ll be driving your new vehicle. Try driving on the highway and park in uncomfortable conditions if that’s what you know you’ll have to do in the future. Examine everything to help yourself make the right decision. Don’t be afraid to miss “the deal of a lifetime.” You must have noticed those come up now and then, so you shouldn’t let them pressure you into making a wrong financial decision that will affect your budget for years. Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... TIMESTAMPS You don’t think about resale value. 0:32 Car maintenance can be expensive. 1:46 You pay for optional items. 2:50 You buy a brand new car. 3:33 You buy a car that is too big or too small. 4:03 You can’t choose between car’s prestige and technical characteristics. 4:34 You don’t examine the car. 5:19 You miss advantageous offers and discounts. 6:08 You don’t try to lower the price. 6:30 You’re in a hurry. 6:51 SUMMARY -First, the car brand matters: there are brands that are more or less popular among drivers. Second, you need to think about the vehicle specifications and the engine. Third, don’t forget about its color. -Think of how much of your family budget car maintenance can make, and decide if you want to spend that much on your vehicle after you’ve purchased it. -Some drivers don’t smoke inside their cars. In this case, they don’t need an ashtray. An additional corrosion treatment is useless as well because cars already have an anti-corrosion treatment. -The best choice is a car model that is no more than three years old and already well-known. -Try to predict how many times you’re going to travel by car, how many passengers will be there, and so on. -A premium class car will give you better safety, high performance and increased comfort their manufacturers guarantee. -Gather as much information as possible at reliable websites and among your friends, consult an independent specialist, and test drive your chosen car. -The best time to buy a car starts in December and reaches its peak in March. -Try to call or send emails to different dealerships saying you have a better offer and asking if they can beat it. -Spend enough time to gather information, consulting specialists, and weighing the pros and cons.

It’s a basic thing – you want your phone fully charged in the morning so it’ll last through the entire day. And even with cutting-edge smartphones that can charge to max capacity in a matter of an hour, there’s no guarantee that you’ll remember to charge it in the morning while you’re in a sleepy daze.

We’ve always been fascinated by what would become of Earth and us if something disastrous happened. Have you wondered about it as well? Well, that’s why Hollywood makes so many movies about the end of the world. So what would happen if Earth suddenly stopped spinning (it’s really slowing down, by the way!). Let’s have a look at the incredible consequences that might follow one day.
