Imagine sitting on top of a flagpole for 49 days! That's exactly what Alvin "Shipwreck" Kelly did in 1930. He was known for pole-sitting, a strange stunt where people would balance on flagpoles for as long as possible. Kelly broke the record during the Great Depression, and people came from all over to watch him. He survived wind, rain, and the blazing sun just to stay on top of that pole. If you're into wild, unbelievable stories like this, you're going to love hearing about even more crazy events!

There was a weird day in Paris when suddenly, all the clocks in the city stopped working at the same time! Back in the 19th century, Paris had a special master clock system that controlled all the public clocks. This master clock would send signals through wires to make sure every clock in the city showed the same time. One day, due to a technical glitch, the master clock system failed, causing every clock in Paris to freeze. It was a big deal because people relied on these clocks for trains, businesses, and daily life. Eventually, they fixed the system, but it showed how much the city depended on that one master clock! #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Listen to Bright Side on: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

The first submarine to travel under the North Pole was the USS Nautilus, a nuclear-powered sub from the United States. In 1958, it made history by becoming the first vessel to reach the geographic North Pole, traveling completely underwater. The journey was top-secret at the time and called "Operation Sunshine." After successfully navigating the icy waters, the Nautilus resurfaced in the Pacific Ocean. This mission proved submarines could operate in extreme conditions, even under the polar ice cap. The achievement was a major milestone in both naval history and Arctic exploration! #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

Scientists recently found something eerie at the bottom of the Red Sea: "death pools" with no oxygen. Any animal that swims into these pools is immediately stunned and dies, making it easy prey for nearby predators. These deadly waters are also home to special microbes that can survive in such extreme conditions. By studying these pools, scientists hope to learn more about how life began on Earth. They’re also curious about what this could mean for discovering life on other planets with harsh environments. It's a chilling, yet fascinating discovery! #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

South Korea has some unique rules that might seem totally strange to foreigners! For starters, there’s the “age system” where you’re automatically a year or two older than your international age. Public trash cans are super hard to find, so you often have to carry your garbage around with you until you get home. When pouring drinks for others, it's considered rude to do it with one hand—you have to use two! Tipping is also not a thing in South Korea, and people might even refuse it. Lastly, walking into someone’s home with your shoes on is a big no-no; everyone leaves their shoes at the door.

The Mariana Trench is the deepest part of the ocean, and it’s so extreme that even scientists hesitate to go back. The pressure down there is so intense it could crush a submarine like a can, making exploration really risky. The trench is also pitch black and freezing cold, making it hard to see and survive for long periods. Weird, creepy creatures live there, and some scientists even say the place feels eerie and unsettling. Plus, the technology needed to explore it is super expensive, and it's not easy to send humans or machines that deep safely. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Listen to Bright Side on: Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

The destruction of Pompeii in 79 AD is famous for being caused by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, but it wasn’t just the volcano itself that wiped out the city. What really did the most damage were the intense clouds of hot gas and ash, called pyroclastic flows, that swept through the city. These flows moved incredibly fast, destroying everything in their path and suffocating people instantly. Many of Pompeii's residents had already evacuated when the eruption began, but others stayed behind and didn’t survive. Buildings were buried under tons of ash, which preserved the city for centuries. Today, Pompeii is a snapshot of Roman life frozen in time, but it's a reminder of the deadly power of nature. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

Hey, you won't believe the crazy places people have been found! Like, there was this one guy who was found inside the stomach of a whale - talk about a wild ride! And then there was another person who was discovered in the luggage compartment of a passenger jet, can you imagine the surprise on the pilot's and the passengers' faces? But wait, it gets even weirder - someone was found in a cargo ship container, and another person was discovered in a dumpster, like, what were they doing there?! And if that's not enough, there was even a person found in a sewer tunnel, I mean, how do you even end up there?!

Something strange is happening in Greenland, and it’s pretty concerning. The ice there is being covered by dark patches, and it’s not just regular dirt—this stuff is alive! Scientists have discovered that algae are spreading across the ice, and because they're dark, they absorb more sunlight. This causes the ice to melt faster, which could make sea levels rise even quicker. The more the ice melts, the more the algae spread, and it's creating a scary cycle. If this keeps happening, it could have big effects on our planet’s climate. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

A powerful solar flare recently occurred, but fortunately, it did not have a significant impact on Earth. However, it serves as a reminder of the potential dangers of solar flares and their effects on our planet. The solar flare was classified as a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) and was traveling at three times the normal CME speed. This increased speed meant that the flare had the potential to cause significant disruptions to Earth's magnetic field and potentially damage electronic systems. The most disruptive solar storm ever recorded was the Carrington Event in 1859. #brightside Credit: Shockwaves on The Sun: by NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/... https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...

Recently, AI has helped scientists unlock the secrets of ancient scrolls buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius! These scrolls, found in Herculaneum, were buried under volcanic ash for almost 2,000 years, making them impossible to read—until now. By using advanced machine learning, the AI could "see" inside the tightly rolled scrolls without unrolling them. It's like getting a glimpse into the past, revealing lost writings from ancient Rome. This breakthrough means we could uncover more forgotten texts hidden in the scrolls. It’s a huge step in both archaeology and technology! #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...

Most people imagine volcanoes as scary gigantic mountains covered with blazing-hot magma and erupting ash. But in fact, more than 80 percent volcanoes on our planet are situated on the seabed, and there creatures that live on their bottoms. Are you ready to meet these scary real-life monsters? If you have a look at the underwater volcano situated about two miles below the surface, the conditions there will terrify you, if not kill you. The pressure of water is enormous, the water itself contains many heavy metals, hydrogen sulfide - poisonous, flammable, and corrosive gas, and other toxic substances. Despite these hostile surroundings, more than 400 species live around the volcanoes. In the Arctic Ocean, far away from any traces of civilization, in ice-cold dark waters, there are five active volcanoes. But unlike typical volcanoes, these formations spew out methane gas and warm mud. They are mud volcanoes. In 2013, a multinational group of scientists decided to research the mud volcanoes in the Beaufort Sea using the Canadian icebreaker CCGS Sir Wilfrid Laurier. Soon the first results were ready: the mud volcanoes turned out to be real giants, 650 to 1200 yards across and as high as 100 ft. The slopes and the tops of the mud volcanoes are covered with colonies of tube worms. They grow slowly, and it may take them from 170 to 250 years to reach such length. Tube worms are exceptionally long-lived. Today, scientists are more worried about the Yellowstone Supervolcano. The formation got its name due to its power to produce unbelievably violent eruptions. The crater of this volcano is 34 by 45 miles in size. And the destructive force of the volcano is so huge that according to scientists' calculations, 90,000 people would die instantly as soon as the volcano erupted. Scientists have many equipment set all over the National Park and they assure people that were the volcano to erupt, they would be able to predict this weeks in advance and evacuate those in immediate danger.

Homing instinct in cats 9:45 #cats #catfacts #catlovers Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: - The Mesopotamians and ancient Egyptians were the first to domesticate cats. Since these cultures were dependent on agriculture, the enemies of their livelihood were the animals that ate their crops. - Since Egyptians thought of cats so highly, they accessorized their pets with jewels. The richer and more aristocratic the owner, the bigger the jeweled collar their cat wore. - In ancient Egypt, anyone found guilty of killing a cat, even accidentally, was sentenced to death. - Egyptians thought that Bastet manifested physically as a cat and protected Egypt from invasion, just like a cat protects its owner’s home. - In Slavic mythology, it was believed that a barn cat named Ovinnik was the protector of crops and livestock. - It was only around the Middle Ages when cat folklore turned dark. During this time, cats were thought to be accomplices of witches and black magic. - You’ve likely heard about the knack cats have for always landing on their feet no matter how far they fall. This is called a “righting reflex,” - Cats can’t taste sweet foods, but they do have an extra organ that allows them to taste scents in the air. Apparently, that’s why they stare at you sometimes with their mouths open! - Cats have outstanding balance that’s only made better by their long tails. - Cats are carnivores, which (aside from cleaning themselves) is why they have that rough sandpaper tongue. It’s supposed to help them clean every last morsel of flesh from an animal bone. - Cats can drink seawater. Unlike humans, cats have kidneys that can filter out the salt from seawater. - The ridges on a cat’s noses are like fingerprints for people.

Honey gives you a lot of energy and does not affect your insulin level. - In case you have some diseases – for example, diabetes – it’s better to avoid milk.

Sometimes we do something weird and then think, ‘What was the logic of my behavior?’ Was it there? In fact, there’s always some logic, but most often it hides in certain peculiarities of your mind. The human psyche is a pro at hiding its own secrets. Scientists have been working for years to understand everything about the mind and brain, yet there’s still so much left to find out. But you don't necessarily have to be an expert in psychology to understand what's going on in other people's heads and use it to your advantage. There are some psychological tips that work on a subconscious level that help you win another person's trust, get somebody's approval, and relax when you’re stressed out. Watch the video till the end to understand why we always want something that is impossible to achieve and why we act one way or another! TIMESTAMPS: Who people look at when they're laughing 1:04 Constant changing of your memories 2:09 How to get any information you need 4:42 Clustering illusion 7:15 The secret of a small mirror 8:29 The Kuleshov Effect 11:28 How much time you spend in La-la Land 12:11 "Body Negative" 13:52 What 3 things you can't NOT notice 14:10 Survivorship Bias 15:30 Hard-to-Reach Effect 17:32 The Fear of Beauty 19:30 #psychologicaltricks #readpeople #psychologyhacks Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY: - After a good joke or in the middle of an interesting discussion, every person instinctively looks at the person they like the most. This is because they want to make sure that the object of their desires approves of and shares their sense of humor. - People often imagine their memories like short films or video clips. You store them somewhere in the attic of your brain, and they stay there collecting dust and never changing. But this isn't exactly true. - If you don't like the answer someone has given you, or it seems like they’re not telling you the whole story, just keep staring at them. - If you have to talk to a lot of people at work, hang a small mirror behind your desk. You’ll be surprised that many people will be more polite and ready to meet you halfway in negotiations. This is because nobody likes to see themselves angry or annoyed. - The effect when a viewer, after seeing two unrelated frames, unconsciously makes up a logical connection between them is called the Kuleshov effect. - Scientists from the University of California are saying that every single day people spend 30% of their time in La-la Land. - "Body negative" is a condition where a person thinks they’re ugly, and this is why their personal life is a fail. And their whole life is a fail. Most often such people are attractive, and the problem is more about self-esteem than real flaws. - You can't NOT notice 3 things: food, sex, and danger - Most often we judge a situation only by successful people ("survivors"), and that’s why we know just one side of it. - Roughly speaking, this is the phenomenon telling that the hard-to-reach is always more desirable. Even if we look at it from a human level: closed, high-status, "no-one-knows-what’s-on-their-mind" people always seem more attractive than others. - Some people feel excessive tension next to beautiful people: excitement, double control of one’s actions, the desire to save face, and fear of comparison. Such stress doesn’t arise next to an average person.

How to understand you're suffering from depression? How to get rid of depression which is a serious health condition that can’t be ignored? Depression is a serious matter that, unfortunately, doesn’t get talked about enough. Simply feeling a little sad can make us think that we're depressed, but that's not always the case…or is it? Let's find out what signs are hinting that you might actually be suffering from “the plague of the 21st century”.

How to Stay Healthy. We all have moments when we absolutely can’t head to the bathroom straight away even though our bodies are warning us it’s time to go. You can try and hold it in, but is that really safe to do? How much can your bladder hold? And what will happen if you don’t go when you have to? Let’s find the answers to all these sensitive questions together. TIMESTAMPS How much can the average bladder hold? 0:48 How does your body know when it needs to go? 1:38 Is it safe to hold in your pee? 3:13 Can holding it in lead to urinary tract infections? 5:10 Can holding in too much pee kill you? 6:14 What should you do if you really need to hold your pee? 7:49 #holdpee #peecolor Music: https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY -If you’re a healthy adult, your bladder can hold up to 2 cups, or 16 ounces, of urine. -Your bladder is smart and careful enough to turn on the nerves that send the first signals to your brain when it’s just half full. The brain then sends a signal back, telling your bladder to hold it until there’s a bathroom in sight. -Emptying your bladder is a pretty important biological process. Your kidneys work as filters that take excess water and waste out of your blood. -If you hold it in for a long time just once, it’s not like you’re gonna instantly trigger a UTI or anything. However, if you keep doing that on a daily basis, the risk does increase since you’re basically breeding bacteria inside. -When overfilled, the bladder can literally burst when it’s already damaged by some serious condition, like a pelvic injury. Heavy drinking can also lead to this disaster since alcohol can make your body ignore the important signals from the brain. -Try to distract it with some engaging activity. Crossword puzzles and games will do. You can also try to relax and get your thoughts off the bathroom by listening to music.

Do you have any sleep troubles? World-famous athletes owe a lot of their success not only to their intense training but also to their sleep coaches! That's right, getting proper sleep is crucial for their performance, and they can certainly teach us all a thing or two about it. For example, even if you don’t consider yourself a necessarily light sleeper, experts still recommend using earplugs. It’s often unexpected minor noises that interrupt our sleep and lower its quality, so a simple pair of earplugs can really come in handy. When choosing earplugs, remember to check their noise reduction rating. If you want them to block most sounds, go for the highest rating there is, which is 39 decibels. TIMESTAMPS: Set a schedule based on sleep cycles 0:47 Try to sleep on your side or back 1:50 Set the appropriate temperature in your room 3:02 Invest in good bedding 3:36 Make your bedroom as dark as possible 4:24 Eat the right food 5:07 Use earplugs 6:11 Resolve your stress 6:51 #sleepproblems #insomnia #goodsleep Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY: - Sleep is usually measured in 1.5-hour cycles because that’s how much time your body needs to pass through all stages of sleep and restore itself completely. The best solution for adults is to sleep for at least 5 cycles through the night, which equals 7½ hours of rest. - Sleeping on your right side is one of the best sleep positions for your heart. It improves cardiac performance, reduces shortness of breath and palpitations, and lowers your heart rate. - The National Sleep Foundation suggests keeping your bedroom temperature at about 60-67°F. That’s because our body temperature naturally decreases to initiate sleep, and this room temperature range helps boost this important process. - The National Sleep Foundation reminds us that most mattresses have a lifespan of 8 years. If yours is much older than that, you should definitely start looking for a replacement. - Turn off the lights, close your curtains, and try to cover up all illuminated displays and buttons on your electronic devices. Achieving as much darkness as possible will help you successfully go through all stages of sleep and wake up feeling fresh as a daisy! - When you consume caffeine or fatty dishes that are high in sugar, your body temperature rises since it takes a long time for your system to digest that stuff. Of course, a higher body temperature is not what you want when it comes to sleeping. - No matter how great your mattress and pillow are, if you're feeling worried or stressed, you won't be able to sleep. So the solution is simple: try to calm down and relax before going to bed. One of the best ones is meditation!
