70+ Hidden Purposes You Didn't Google What That's For

the cylinder on the end of a cable is sitting there use this as it might seem in fact this is a ferrite bead that assists with many electrical wires to reduce electromagnetic interference electrical wires act like unintentional antennas broadcasting the Emi there's a reason why the spinning wheel inside their microwave is circular a circular object will evenly distribute the heat as opposed to a rectangular and square one when you place containers of these shapes inside the energy is focused on the corners rather than spread evenly like in a round container the temperature gauge on a toaster is commonly used to determine how crisp you like your toast but the other more specific use for the gauge was for the different types of bread white and sweet types of bread heat up much faster as opposed to heavier Brown and Rye ones the older bread is the more time it will need in a toaster to ensure that golden brown results you're looking for most ovens give you the option of leaving the door ajar when broiling a dish inside you probably think the goal here is to help cool down the oven after use in reality its purpose is to focus on cooking the top of the dish and to ensure a crusty layer controlling the buildup of heat and steam by releasing it through the slightly ajarred door gives you the desired result without cooking the entire dish to a crispy end you've probably noticed that your dishwasher has specific areas for different types of cutlers and dishware but all the dishware pieces should be facing towards the center and not All in One Direction what types of foods were on the plates will also determine where they should be located in the racks as the middle of the machine gets the strongest spray carb based stains from tomatoes and potatoes should be placed there the detergent is more focused on the outside during the cleaning creating a waterfall-like plant that's why protein-based stains like from eggs for example should be stacked there ceiling fans push cool air down on a hot day circulating the room but they can serve you during the winter just as effectively if you flick that switch on the side or use the pulley so if you want to save some money on Heating and try to quickly warm up your room on a cold day turn the fan on it will push the air up and spread the warm air around more effectively warming the room up do you still use sticky notes instead of those fancy new apps on all possible gadgets welcome to the club regardless of what you use them for they can annoyingly curl up if you've had this issue it's because you've peeled them from the bottom upwards doing it this way causes the curling peeling them from the side will ensure they remain flat ready to remind you of your daily tasks that can openers weren't invented until 50 years after preservation cats had been readily available so how would it be possible to open a can there are a couple of alternative methods just in case you've misplaced your trusty opener all you need is a metal spoon set the can down on the counter hold on to it firmly and grasp the head of the spoon tightly apply pressure and vigorously rub the edge of the cans top over a small area it takes time but as you continuously rub a small indentation soon opens a hole once the hole is wide enough for the spoons tip pry the lid upwards and keep going along the edges until you can finally access the hard-earned meal Within toilets rely on water pressure and gravity to function so a power outage will not affect them but if yours does need electricity to function you must be worried about using it when the power is out the good news is the power is only used to fill the toilet and not to flush it as the flushing mechanism will still work open the toilet tank and pour in a couple of gallons and you're free to flush away whatever you need to blockages and shower drains occur over a long period of time it's inevitable we lose 50 to 100 hairs a day and many of them will endeavor to reside within our shower drains hair only forms the foundations of the blockage and this attracts the buildup of various other things a great life hack is to use your vacuum cleaner and put the nozzle in the hole once removing the plug apply a wet cloth around the nozzle ensuring air cannot escape the vacuum will suck up the blockages a lot easier this will help avoid any extra cost from plumbers as they themselves use this technique to make your candles last longer trim their Wicks multiple times and keep them as far away from water and moist as possible it will guarantee that your candle's wax stays firm and steady and continues to burn slower for a longer period of time the empty space between the panes of the oven door is there for a reason you can stick a brush in there to clean the oven door glass it's easy to access this space through the bottom of the door open the lower shelf then push the brush through the hole while you're parking in a garage you might find it difficult to determine how close to it you need to be not all cars have sensors ensuring you keep the right distance before the bumper makes an indentation on the wall apply a rope with a tennis ball from the ceiling at the right distance will help you learn the best distance to park from the wall we've all been told to loosen a lock with WD-40 or lubricant yes we all know we should have these around the house but in case you don't a great alternative is drawing with a gray lead pencil along the edges of the key and then putting it into the lock continue doing this until the keyhole has been adequately lubricated and the key functions smoothly Pliers are prone to damage when you use them to adjust faucets and shower heads and are also difficult to grill take a couple of pieces from the end of an old garden hose and attach them to the jaws of the pliers you'll find a huge improvement with grip and will avoid wear and tear and find a good use for discarded rubber for different things around the house when fed up with tightening or loosening with a screwdriver try using a simple rubber band place part of it into the screw grip and the screwdriver will have far greater traction [Music] moving cement blocks isn't safe for your lower back even with a wheelbarrow it can be a risky process to place the cement onto the ground without causing damage three simple cylinder pipes can make a world of difference regardless of the size of the block try lifting The Edge onto the first pipe with a pry bar then pushing and maneuvering as you gradually direct the three pipes towards the desired location just make sure you're not doing this on a slope that first strike on a nail can be a great success or will result in a throbbing thumb a bobby pin is perfectly shaped to hold a nail in place allowing for your hand to be clear out of Harm's Way and for you to strike the nail without fear use a crayon instead of a pen or pencil while working with a wet saw to ensure the markings are not removed they will also be easier to see under the murky water checking the drains on the roof and determining when they need to be cleaned can take a lot of time using duct tape attach a mirror on the end of a long broom and review whether the drains need to be cleaned to further assist with your balance as you check on the gutters attach a pair of old trainers to the end of the ladder the spread of the shoe and its grip will ensure a further level of safety liquid caulk normally comes in huge tubes so you can never use it all at once the hardened tips of liquid caulk create blockages grab a used Cork and drill through it to make a perfect lid concealing the liquid caulk now it's ready to be used again with no blockages hey have you ever been vibing out in your room listening to some of your favorite songs admiring the subwoofer of your speaker as it delivers magnificence to your eardrums we all have but ask yourself why that same speaker along with other speakers across the globe is almost always black some of you are probably screaming at your screen right now about your speaker being green red or any other color found in the rainbow number one I said almost always and number two if you look closely at the gorgeous design of your brightly colored music player you'll often find that the speaker beneath it is still colored black when possible explanation for this is that the original technology of speakers had a diaphragm with black particles on it so as soon as a sound is Amplified it sends a charge through the diaphragm and these black particles are driven upwards the carbon particles bouncing and touching the upper membrane of the diaphragm are responsible for creating some of the distinct sounds from our speakers that we all love so much speaker manufacturers must have gotten tired of their products changing color with prolonged use combined with these black particles settling on the upper membrane of the diaphragm so their logical solution was to color most speakers black another more practical belief as to why speakers are mostly colored black is that it's a hue that easily matches up with many types of Decor Walls Furniture and clothes all often look quite well when combined with this color which is why it's so prevalent everywhere you go listening to music has repeatedly scored in the top 10 pastimes in the U.S based on Research nowadays you find sound speakers everywhere in your television laptop and your phone you can't escape them but let's take a look at how they started off their Origins are in radio and telephone technology the first form of a speaker was developed by Johann Philip rice in 1861. the German was a self-taught inventor and installed the speaker on his telephone it was just about able to reproduce clear tones but it could also replicate muffled speech after a few revisions Alexander Graham Bell the inventor of the telephone decided to try and produce an improved version of Rights speaker essentially Bell and other inventors wanted to make an electrodynamic speaker by 1877 it was still yet to exist but due to the desire of inventors worldwide to change this research confirmed that it was extremely possible to make one in particular the work of Werner Von Siemens who came up with the idea of an electromagnetic coil-driven speaker was a driving force in arriving at this conclusion why are there magnets and speakers you might ask every speaker nowadays has an electric current something the inventors were discussing would never have taken for granted at any point in their lives when this electric current is changing it produces a magnetic field to make the panel of the speaker move magnets are used to create an opposing magnetic field which creates vibrations these vibrations are the sound we end up hearing the bigger the magnet the louder the speaker will be another inventor by the name of Thomas Edison from the U.S had filed a British patent for a system using compressed air for an amplifying mechanism the first commercial electric loudspeaker saw the light of day only in 1924. the sound quality produced by this speaker was good enough for Motion Pictures it took nearly 20 years for the next groundbreaking development in the world of loudspeakers this came with the arrival of the duplex driver in 1943. it offered better Clarity and coherence at high volumes which was important in movie theaters fittingly it was nicknamed the voice of the theater the duplex driver was immediately tested by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and instantly made its Film House industry standard in 1955. until now this loudspeaker design is still used indeed the film industry does seem to put a lot of effort into its sound and so do the theaters we watch them in you may have noticed that these buildings often have thick curtains on the walls these are soundproof or acoustic curtains and both are much thicker than regular curtains they will either consist of heavier Fabrics that are tightly woven or have better quality Linings this means that these curtains will absorb sound and reduce the acoustic reflection off the ceiling windows and flat walls of the room this ultimately creates a much better Sonic experience the carpet floors are so thick in theaters for the same reason it helps to trap Sound by providing insulation from a practical standpoint this carpet is also set up to prevent the sound of footsteps during film screenings concept of trapping sound is also the reason why putting a phone inside a cup will make the phone speaker seem louder any speaker sitting or suspended in an open space projects its sound in all directions as the speaker vibrates to create sound waves an equal amount of energy leaves from both the front and the back by placing a speaker in some form of enclosure we can redirect some of the energy that comes from the back of the speaker and project it forwards by putting the speaker in a cup you're directing the sound more efficiently it travels only one way making it seem louder than what you'd hear when you take it out of the cup speaking of phones and speakers ever wonder why your mobile device makes your speaker produce a buzzing noise this can occur when the tube gadgets are near one another and your mobile is trying to send and receive data the transfer of information produces electromagnetic disturbances in the medium around the speakers it creates noise in the audio and as a result you can hear the buzzing sound coming from the speaker a simple way to protect the amazing Vibe your speaker is creating for you from this irritating buzzing noise is just to move your phone away from your speaker or vice versa this will eliminate what is officially known as electromagnetic interference research Across America shows that on average 74 percent of people own two or more pairs of headphones 46 percent of them mentioned they listen to their headphones for more than two hours per day some choose the headphones by their looks others by the sound quality in either case finding the right pair is important since a lot of people are willing to spend over a hundred dollars on it headphones have become a true fashion accessory that's why well-known figures are trying to make an impact in the headphone industry like it's the fashion industry music Moguls Dr Dre and Jimmy Ivey came up with the idea for the now world famous Beats by Dre headphones brand they were walking along the Pacific Ocean one day in 2006 discussing a sneaker deal as they had an offer on the table from a major brand in that Arena after some discussions they decided they wanted to do something they were more passionate about and landed on headphones the do Duo's idea turned into a brand that was purchased by Apple in 2014 for three billion dollars it was the largest deal in Apple's history and Beats by Dre controlled seven percent of the headphone Market at the time of signing the move allowed Apple to take over the headphone space the release of their popular wireless airpods headphones in 2016 was another reason it happened but how do these popular wireless headphones that many of us own actually work these headphones rely on internal batteries to have enough power to remain Wireless most often they have conveniently built-in rechargeable batteries but sometimes they keep going thanks to standard double A or AAA batteries they receive wirelessly transmitted signals from their paired audio sources be it your phone or laptop these signals are encoded by The Source device and transmitted most commonly via radio frequencies or infrared carriers the headphones receive the signal and decode it to audio and just like that it's music to your ears [Music] have you ever wondered what these extra holes at the top of your running shoes are for they're designed so that you can tie the shoes in multiple different ways that's useful when you want to compensate for things such as a bad stride or even a damaged toe plus you can change the look of your shoes the way you prefer many people use a dust jacket of their book as a book marker no problem with that it will save your book from bent page corners but the primary purpose of a dust cover is to keep the book safe from distortions for instance if you spill juice or drop some of the food on your book while reading it the Tic Tac dispenser has this little groove on its top so you can dispense only one Tic Tac at a time even though let's be honest here Nobody Does that most of us just spill a whole bunch at once and then we Wiggle all those extra Tic Tacs back in those rubber bumps you see between the tire Treads are there for your safety the raised edges tell you what the minimum height of your tread is if the bump and the edges are even it's time for you to visit the tire shop as soon as possible but if the bumps are well beneath the level of the edges you're good to go [Music] what about that black grating on the microwave window it's something called a faraday Shield and it's there to prevent microwaves from getting away and turning the entire room into a faraday cage if the microwaves Escape your meal won't cook properly either so yep the cage is not there to make it difficult for you to see your meal while it's cooking it's keeping the electromagnetic energy inside how about a wrench compatible screwdriver cover your screwdriver with the end of your wrench and you can increase its torque that's why the head of your screwdriver is designed the way it is when you have odd angles you can use this strategy you've probably heard those myths the blue side of the Eraser can erase the pen false its purpose is to erase a pencil but in case you're writing something on heavier paper the blue side can remove smudges you see after using the pink eraser too have you ever wondered why oranges in supermarkets mostly come in the red mesh bag it's a trick to make this food look more orange and encourage you to make a purchase an extra tip don't throw away the mesh bag tie it up so you can have a small pot scrubber to clean your sink kitchen appliances and dishes [Music] you can see golf balls don't have a perfectly round shape their surface is covered with many little dimples something golf balls didn't always have at one point experienced golfers started noticing how Through Time older balls with imperfections such as Nicks and bumps could travel further such things create turbulence in the air around the golf ball which eventually reduces drag so manufacturers started producing balls with dimples so they could go farther and faster [Music] you might have noticed that sometimes there are ridges and toothpick tops it's more hygienic because when you break that off you can prop the toothpick up on it and it won't touch anything another safety feature you'll find this time in your car is a tab on your rear view mirror with it you can change the position of the mirror so you don't get blinded if there's a car behind you with its high beams on so this little tab helps you control the glare of Lights coming from behind this feature showed up in the 1930s but in the early 1970s it became a part of standard equipment in most trucks and cars do you see that tiny hole on your iPhone right next to the rear facing camera it's a microphone and it's there so your phone can record sound as you turn your camera around some cables have a thick cylinder towards the end of the cord it's called a fair right core or a choke it's a magnetic iron oxide that stops high frequency electromagnetic interference for example you know that annoying static noise you get if you bring your phone too close to a speaker this interrupts your call which is why cable cords with big cylinders are pretty useful because they prevent these things do you know why nearly all luggage bags and backpacks have two zippers it's way more convenient and easier to open in that way but not just that you can also lock these two zippers together to keep the stuff inside your bags safer you know how toilets at public spots like malls have those big gaps at the bottom it's primarily for better circulation of air this type of door also makes it easier to clean the toilet or check if it's occupied if you're standing in line other than that if you get stuck there and the lock gets broken you still have a way to escape you can just crawl out ever notice those plastic end caps on utility knives and they also have scales on them which indicates you may use them multiple times but with sharp edges you can separate the blades through these plastic end caps then you can move the slider and bring the sharp blade to the front if you've ever taken a moment to examine a regular grocery cart especially their fold out section you probably noticed those metal Loops jutting out they're designed to protect the items you carry in your cart you can use them to hang bags with soft items you don't want to accidentally squish with heavier products like bread or easily breakable things like eggs many coffee mugs come with curved notches on their bottom when you're washing your mugs put them against the rack at an angle in your dishwasher this way the water won't pool in there so your favorite cup will be completely dry by the time you take it out of the dishwasher if you're a McFlurry fan you've probably noticed there's a square hole in the handle of the spoon it's there so you can attach it to the special machine that mixes the ice cream and your favorite toppings together the machine has a bar that slips into this Square shaped spoon and then thoroughly stirs it and you get the spoon so they can minimize the mess during the process quite neat wouldn't you say a regular milk jug has a dent on one side some might see it as a random design decision but a dent has several purposes one of them is to get bigger if there's a gas buildup this happens when your milk is spoiled don't even have to try to check this out also the dent is there so The Jug doesn't burst if you accidentally drop it The Dent allows the expansion space that deals with the sudden pressure that happens when you drop the jug dental floss sure it's important for your dental health and it's easy to assume what you do with it but dental floss is great in the kitchen as well because it's a very precise cake slicer way better than a regular knife [Music] most kitchen shears have a serrated opening right there at the center where the blades and handles meet it's something you can use to trim difficult herbs such as rosemary thyme or chives because of this opening you don't need to pick the leaves off by hand but de-stem them in one motion the majority of gelatin containers or single serving yogurts come with a tin foil lid and in most cases you can use this covering as a disposable spoon just peel away the covering and after a couple of simple folds you'll have a perfect little spoon for your midday snack foreign you're trying on a pair of jeans a dress or a jacket and are about to dig your hand into the pocket when you realize there's no depth to it the pocket is simply not there but why would anyone create Pockets you can't put anything in and uh now would be a good time to pick your iPhone up from off the floor well the reason for fake pockets is simple if a clothing item has a specific cut or shape Pockets May spoil it they can alter the item shape either in the warehouse or already on the retail rat the solution getting rid of pockets in key areas Plus fake pockets are obviously cheaper and they don't get stretched out interestingly this practice goes back to the 17th century that's when Pockets were actually removable they resembled small bags and women for example could move them from one outfit to another unfortunately it was also very convenient for pickpockets they could grab such a pocket and run off with it then clothes became more streamlined and slim Pockets started to be sewn right into them instead of attachable bags this was believed to make the shape of a person's silhouette more alluring but soon Slimmer skirts came into fashion and Pockets went out of it and people started using handbags instead these days most pockets are real but some of them are still fake so how can we make sure that we don't actually turn a fake pocket into a hole thinking it's a real one well first of all take a look at the stitching along the edge of the pocket where it's supposed to open up if you see a single loose thread just snip a piece of it and start pulling gently if the pocket is real the thread will easily come out but if you feel that the stitching won't budge most likely you have a faux pocket on your hands if this is the case just leave it be now let's move on to some other everyday objects that may be hiding some secrets for example those lines on some kinds of chips for one thing they help with the distribution of spices and Seasonings in other words all those substances that make your chips taste like cheese are mostly stored inside the lines plus the lines make chips crunchier highlighters are filled with a special semi-transparent fluorescent ink that can glow in dim life yellow and light green Hues are the most popular because they don't prevent you from seeing the text after black and white photocopying photocopiers perceive yellow and light green marks as almost non-existent and don't print them now back in the day the first genes had one problem workers and minors who were the original jeans wearers put too much pressure on the poor piece of clothing as a result the seams couldn't withstand the stress and tore so tiny metal studs were invented to prevent this from happening most metallic zippers have a hidden lock inside them that's why you shouldn't leave the zipper handle in an upward position when you pull it downwards it automatically locks it's all thanks to several tiny grooves hidden underneath the handle now about those horizontal lines on plastic bottles they help hold bottles up some bottles are produced from soft plastic without the lines they wouldn't keep their shape instead they would twist easily or even break bath foam isn't only for fun or a nice smell it helps regulate the temperature too the bubbles keep the water hot and you can enjoy your bath a bit longer with or without your rubber ducky ever notice that layer of clear liquid and gel pens it's called the ink follower or stopper fluid the gel and such pen contains pigment particles dissolved in a polymer solution the gel should be thick enough to keep the pigment particles suspended but also thin enough to flow first onto the ball and then the paper the main task of the stopper fluid is to be a barrier to prevent the gel from evaporating or leaking out without this transparent fluid your gel pen wouldn't function the fluid always stays in one position and doesn't get dissolved with the jump neither does it move backward or flow out of the pan the holes in the bottoms of your earphones allow air to circulate up and through the speakers it allows to increase low frequencies making the bass sound deeper the quality of the sound also becomes much better some plastic milk containers have dents on their sides try as they might they just cannot park without some damage yeah I made that up these vents serve several purposes for one thing when milk spoils this process usually causes swelling and high pressure buildup inside the container oh boy that's when the dent comes in handy it pops out and doesn't let the jug blow up plus if you ever decide to freeze the milk it will expand like any other liquid and then again the indentation will pop out and prevent the container from breaking inside your freezer that's a good thing airplane Windows have rounded edges and that's a crucial safety measure it prevents aircraft accidents weak spots are usually situated in the corners if airplane windows were square or rectangular each of them would have four potential weak spots under pressure they would collapse if you look closely at a trans overhead lines you'll see that it's contact wires zigzag back and forth instead of going in a straight line the thing is that all trams have pantographs attached to the roofs the upper part of the pantograph is gradually worn down by the overhead wire and eventually needs to be replaced to wear it down evenly the wire is not installed strictly along the tramps path but in zigzag patterns as the tram moves the pantograph slides along the wire and it wears down evenly you might have wondered why some gas cans have two holes with caps one bigger and one smaller before I thought that the little hole was used when you poured something into a smaller container but I was wrong a very infrequent occasion in reality you're supposed to uncap it before you pour the gas inside the bigger hole to prevent it from glugging and spilling on your clothes and on the ground most of the buttonholes on a shirt are vertical but the top and sometimes bottom ones are horizontal the reason is simple these two buttons slip out more often than others luckily producers have found the solution that can prevent these buttons from slipping out horizontal buttonholes what engineering buttons tend to slip out less from such buttonholes stick sachets of sugar or salt are easier to open than many people think there's no need to tear off one of the ends the right way is actually to tear them down the middle some boots have loops sticking out on the back their main purpose is to help you pull your shoes on easier just tug on the loop while you're pushing your heel into the boot you can also use these Loops to hang your boots on a hook when they're dirty or when you want to dry them after washing or you can run your laces through the loop if you want to tie them around your ankle when you're on board the plane you might spot a little triangle over your seat such triangles show the flight crew the best spots to check the plane's flaps through the window just in case they're flapping if your shoes are really slippery just take a bit of sandpaper and rub it on the Soles for better traction they'll become more grippy and you'll be able to wear them out in the rain now if they get too wet they might turn griping but that's only if you have talking shoes if you drill several holes at the bottom of your garbage can putting in and taking out trash bags will become much easier you won't have any problems with suction you can usually find some silica gel in bags shoes and many other things you bought this shell absorbs excess moisture don't throw it away each time your shoes get wet put a few packets of silica gel inside the thermos wasn't actually invented to keep your coffee warm it was made by a Scottish scientist who just wanted a safe place to put his chemicals at a stable temperature so he took two bottles put the smaller one inside the bigger one and vacuumed out the air between them well anyway thanks for the hot coffee foreign that's it for today so hey if you pacified your curiosity then give the video a like and share it with your friends or if you want more just click on these videos and stay on the bright side if you look at it on the street you'll think a fire hydrant is about three feet in height but the actual size of the device used to provide water supply to Firefighters all over the world is twice as large that is if you count the rest of the hydrant which is hiding underground they're mostly red and it's not just a matter of Urban Design first of all they need to be a bright easily noticeable colors so firefighters can spot them fast when they need to the choice of color depends on how much water the hydrant can hold it can sometimes vary depending on the location but here's the breakdown a red fire hydrant can Splash 500 gallons of water per minute while an orange one at least 1 000 gallons green ones mostly process 1500 gallons of water per minute and the most plentiful ones colored blue can generally contain over 1500 gallons hey bowling fans isn't it super annoying when your bowling ball gets cracked turns out that most of them get damaged because of incorrect storage or spikes in temperature now come on and face it since it's already cracked a bit aren't you curious what's actually inside the bowling ball because I sure am let's have a look they mostly make the inner core of the ball of powdered metal oxides like calcium or iron oxide they mix them with some resin and Catalyst to harden the whole mixture so that light bulb shape you now see inside of the ball is actually its heaviest part it also influences how your bowling ball rotates when going down the lane the same goes with spray paint cans when you shake it it makes a weird noise but what is that thing in there it's called a pee and it's meant to hold the paint mixture in place and maintain its shape they generally make it out of plastic metal or ceramic it basically acts as a whisk to make sure your paint is well mixed together before you apply it to your surface of choice ever wondered how soda bottles keep that refreshing Fizz for that long well they have a little plastic ring fastened to the lid they place it there to keep the gas from escaping and making the soda go flat even if you shake it around in your bag the whole day speaking of things we use on a hot summer's day wait wait don't put your baseball cap on just yet take a look at it for a minute and you'll notice there's a small button on the very top is it functional or is it just there for the sake of design way back when people started using Fabrics to cover their heads some say the button was actually functional since it's on top of the cap where the fabric panels come together the top button helps keep the cap Crown in one single piece now with recent advances in Fabric and pattern design the button is more of an aesthetic feature it's used to cover up the joint point of the fabric panels your cap might not have a button at all but don't you think a cap actually looks better with one cotton pads have two sides and if you take the time to look at them carefully they're actually different in texture just in case you've ever wondered why the textured side is for applying makeup and the even side is for removing it bookworms this one is for you dust jackets that come with a lot of hardcover books are not just meant to make your book look pretty they also double as a bookmark just fold the pages you've already read underneath the inside of the jacket and voila next time you reach out for your favorite shirt take a look at the top buttonhole it should be stitched horizontally and all the other ones are vertical turns out that the dress shirt was designed this way since the first and the last buttons were the first ones to unbutton throughout the day they then changed the direction of the buttonhole to ensure the shirt would stay nice and fitted before you're ready to take it off [Music] these days we have so many variations of this awesome dessert that it's hard to imagine we've ever lived without it you can find different types of cookie dough ice cream or even chocolate chip cookie cake basically everywhere but the famous cookie wasn't actually invented until 1930. the story goes that a woman named Ruth Graves Wakefield Was preparing some chocolate cookies as she was waiting for some guests to arrive she soon figured out she was out of baker's chocolate a crucial ingredient for the classic cookies to fix things up she chopped up a block of semi-sweet chocolate thinking it would eventually spread out evenly throughout the batter given the heat of the oven things didn't necessarily go as planned but hey it's great they didn't because this is how she invented This Modern dessert we now can't get enough of and speaking of popular snacks the potato chip is even younger than the chocolate chip cookie well at least historically there are many stories trying to explain how it was invented one of them goes like this a chef named George Crum based in New York put the chips together in 1953. he decided to try a different cooking solution when one of his customers didn't have nice things to say about his french fries he said they were too thick and kind of mushy then crumb came up with potatoes that were thinly sliced and fried until Brown people absolutely loved the dish and they welcomed the first ever batch of chips with open arms ice cream anyone if the story is true back in 1904 at the St Louis World's Fair one ice cream shop owner ran out of cups to serve his dish so he fashioned a waffle into the shape of a cone and the rest was history okay I'll admit it chewing gum-like Treats have been around since the ancient Greeks so this one isn't particularly a revolutionary Discovery but the actual gum we buy today wasn't there until the late 1800s an American inventor named Thomas Adams wanted to mix together different chemicals to create rubber he tried and failed for that matter to play with Chico for his experiment but ended up fashioning this neat treat they still use chickle to this day to produce most chewing gums back in the 1800s there lived a man named Jean-Baptiste Jolly who worked in the fabric industry as a textile maker how he came up with this next invention that we use a lot these days has less to do with him and more to do with his maid The Story Goes that the woman accidentally knocked a kerosene lamp over onto a tablecloth instead of getting upset over the damaged fabric Jolly noticed that the substance actually made the material cleaner figured it out yet yep that's how the idea for the very first dry cleaner popped up a very neat accident if I do say so myself now this one I loved did you know matchsticks were initially called friction lights or at least that's how their inventor a chemist named John Walker called them back in 1826 he scraped a stick coated in chemicals across his Hearth totally by accident one day and realized that they ignited and created a spark initially made out of cardboard they were then made using wooden splints and sandpaper back in the 1940s a man named Harry coover stumbled upon a chemical formulation that seemed to stick to everything it touched the scientific community at the time didn't look much into it as the formula didn't seem to have many applications back then it wasn't until 1951 that he looked a bit more into the formula and decided to repurpose it along with a fellow Eastman Kodak researcher named Fred Joyner they gave it a proper full name but you must know it by the shorter version Super Glue it also has many uses in security these days that it's hard to believe that we didn't come up with this one on purpose back in 1903 a scientist named Edward Benedictus knocked over a flask by accident he looked down and was amazed to see that the glassware had just slightly cracked but maintained its shape he was expecting it to break into a million tiny pieces curious about this hidden feature he looked into it and figured out what was keeping the glass together was a substance coating the inside of the glass ta-da that's how Humanity came up with safety glass there's nothing better than a nice piece of buttered toast for breakfast if we're not counting hot fudge sundaes but if you find it harder to spread out cold butter over your toast here's an idea use a cheese grater figure out the amount you need and Grate the product the process will also soften the butter making it easier to spread and you won't have to melt a too large amount of it in the process but still that hot fudge dried pasta comes in all sorts of different shapes and sizes for a reason that's because each type of pasta goes best with a particular sauce pasta shells for example are perfect with denser and chunkier sauces why because the sauce gets inside the shells making it easier to serve and eat the dish the ribbed outer surface also helps with covering the shells in the sauce if you ever end up burning your cookies ow you can save them with your trusty grater too just grate off the blackened Parts after carefully taking the cookies from the baking tray but be careful and wait until the cookies have cooled down also if you ruin their shape a bit you can always dip them in some melted chocolate after the chocolate cools down you'll have perfectly shaped cookies although after it gets past your lips and Beyond does the shape of the cookie actually matter just saying if you like adding a lot of ingredients to your sandwiches but don't really appreciate it when the bread gets soggy there is a way to reduce the amount of moisture pick your sliced tomatoes or cucumbers and place them between two paper towels for up to five minutes after that you can

string that you find near an egg yolk needs to be removed before you cook the egg well I'm here to tell you that these strands are called kaleza and you don't actually need to get rid of them they help keep the yolk in place at the egg Center a kalasa is not going to mess up the consistency or the taste of your food so removing it is completely up to you ever notice that most use boxes come with two flaps one on each side those are actually handles manufacturers design the boxes this way to make it easier for us to hold them this way we don't end up squeezing the Box making the juice spill out now you don't need to be a baking Pro to know that you can use both white and brown sugar in your recipes ever wondered what the difference between these two is it turns out that the only thing that sets them apart is that during production a small amount of molasses is added to the brown sugar molasses is basically a sort of syrup you get when processing sugar cane it's usually removed during the refining process that's how white sugar is produced but if some amount of molasses remains in the final product we end up with brown sugar with its specific taste and darker Hue it's a good thing there are a lot of things you can put in your dishwasher apart from your dishes for example you can clean such things as your Silicone oven mitts or the knobs of some kitchen appliances like your oven or stove some kitchen sponges and reusable towels may be safe to clean in the dishwasher as well speaking of kitchen cleaning products there are a lot of things you can do with dish soap like degriming your patio furniture just add a bit of dish detergent to some warm water and use the solution to wipe down your outdoor furniture with a piece of cloth finally rinse it clean using your garden hose you can also use dish soap to get rid of greasy stains on your clothes be it pasta sauce or salad dressings hey sometimes we miss our mouths so just apply a little dish detergent to the stain and then rinse with water use non-colored soap for lighter cloves for more difficult stains let the dish soap sink in for a bit then throw the piece of clothing in the washer as usual and think about maybe getting a bib if none of the methods have helped you organize your closet and you're still overwhelmed with large piles of clothes there's a simple way that might be

it easier to find something in your closet good luck keep your most used items at eye level this way they'll be easier to find and pull out when you're in a hurry those items that you tend to use less often like your evening clothes for example can stay on the shelves above or below your eye level you can make good use of Old Spice tins if you glue some powerful magnets to the inside of the tins they can double as magnetic shelves you can use them for all sorts of everyday items like kitchen pliers ice cream Scoops or even Cutlery you can also place them on any metallic surface like your refrigerator door they'll blend in nicely with your kitchen magnets hidden in your laundry room there's a great tool for picking up pet hair it sometimes works better than lint rollers take a dryer sheet and using some elbow grease you'll get rid of that dog or cat hair in no time it works on all sorts of surfaces but it's especially effective for upholstered furniture now if you don't like it when a door starts squeaking whenever you enter a room get a bar of soap and rub it straight on the hinges this will only help for a while though but it'll do the trick until you manage to get to a hardware store and you know buy some oil have you ever noticed that in some elevators there's a star next to the number of a specific floor no it's not to indicate where my office is it's there to point out where the nearest exit is and it's not always on the first floor it's most likely located on the floor closest to the street have you ever wondered why stop signs are red well back in the day they didn't actually have any particular color at all before the 1920s they didn't even have a standardized shade in 1922 though someone came up with the Octagon but initially it was painted yellow all because the red coloring tended to fade out too quickly because of sun exposure so yellow turned out to be the best option it took another 30 years for fade resistant enamel paint to be invented we ended up changing the color of the stop sign back to Red after all it's still the best color if you want something to be easily noticeable do you know there's a type of rose that can grow taller than people according to the Guinness Book of World Records the tallest rose bush ever found grew in Vienna Austria it was a staggering 28 and a half feet tall yes it arose to a great height in the same way we all have unique patterns on our fingerprints no two tigers have the same set of Stripes it makes it easier for people working with this feline species to distinguish one tiger from another I'll bet you didn't know the White House has its own flower shop hidden in the basement of the building it's supposed to provide flower arrangements for all sorts of events that take place there it's probably no surprise that pizza has become an American staple dish despite its Italian origin people in the U.S love it so much that they buy 350 slices of pizza every second in the states man I'm not getting my fair share to manage the huge demand for this delicious dish around 17 percent of all restaurants in the U.S are pizzerias finally there's a way to make lemon juice without the seeds getting into your beverage try cutting the fruit in two and squeezing it with a pair of kitchen tongs the pointed end of the lemon should be facing down the juice will flow down but the seeds will remain inside the lemon lemonade it goes well with pizza if you ever find yourself stuck in the trunk of your car stay calm all cars are supposed to be equipped with an emergency latch to help open the trunk from the inside in the unlikely case it happens these latches are so well thought out that they can be opened by people of all ages more so handles are designed to glow in the dark too you can even pull them with a mouth if there's not enough wiggle room to use your hands never mind how you ended up in the trunk in the first place moving on if you're ever working with needle and thread remember you don't need to stick the needle directly into the spool you may end up losing the needle altogether not to mention you can easily hurt your fingers a lot of modern sewing kits these days come with a designated place for safeguarding the needles it's located at the bottom part of the thread spool you'll just need to pull it out it's even made to hold multiple sewing needles at a time disposable ballpoint pens come with a little secret of their own did you ever notice that in some of them there's a small hole in the plastic part it's actually a rudimentary ventilation system it's supposed to let the ink easily make it to the tip of the pen okay I know it's in the name but you really don't need to shake the seasoning Shaker to get any product out don't believe me hey you're not the only one go grab your favorite seasoning bottle out of your pantry if it has one of those removable plastic caps it's perfect for the experiment instead of shaking the bottle try holding it from the plastic cap while it's upside down now gently twist the bottle from side to side and before you know it you get some gorgeously flowing seasoning without having to wiggle the Shaker and make a mess all over the stove on the same note hmm most salt and pepper shakers should have ridges on the bottom of the glass portion in case you get any seasoning stuck in there place the bottom of the salt shaker against the bottom of the pepper shaker and wiggle it around so The Ridges click with each other the seasoning should easily pour out now without you having to open the bottle in Colder Weather you often have so many clothing layers on you that you can hardly feel the purse or back straps on your shoulder anymore not to mention how fast they can slide off some jackets come with a built-in solution for that in the form of a small tab on the shoulder with either a hook or a button it's meant to be opened and closed comfortably so you can keep your purse in place at any time you're most likely using it merely to peel the skin of potatoes carrots or cucumbers but you can use your vegetable peeler for chopping fine strips of onion as well just cut the onion into quarters vertically and then start slicing this might also help out with those embarrassing onion tears most people miss this one but should you ever have a closer look at your toothpaste tube you will surely see some sort of coloring there either a DOT or a block colors can vary they can be black green red or even blue these color spots are actually meant to help the assembly machines back of the toothpaste Factory they recognize when and where these machines need to cut the toothpaste tubes and proceed to fold them for Packaging for most types of Footwear if there's anything that seems a bit out of place always know that it's there for a reason most manufacturers don't put extra items on shoes just for fun it would definitely be a waste of time and resources for Footwear like boots for example there's often a small loop at the top back of the shoe it's there to help you when you need to put the shoe on since you can quickly pull on it plus you can also hang the shoes somewhere most likely to dry since most boots are meant to be worn in the colder weather now I've been guilty at least once of over dressing with a bunch of layers just so I won't need to jam everything in my check-in bag but does it become a problem when you actually have to get seated what do you do with your coat or your jacket well have a closer look next time you board a plane on the seat in front of you the hook that keeps the tray table upright can double as a jacket hook as long as you don't need to have any meals while in the air you're good to go now most mascaras expire within three to six months I'm told depending on the manufacturer but you can help speed up that process if you're not careful enough continuously pumping the mascara wand trying to mix in the product actually pushes more air into the tube this can make it dry much faster and you evidently won't get the desired results with it anymore there's an easy way to check if your mascara is still good enough to use if you don't hear a popping noise when you take the brush out you may very well need to go get yourself a new mascara tube now I know we're living in the era of Bluetooth connected devices but for better quality sound they still recommend using headphones that connect via audio jacks remember seeing black ridges on those Jacks they aren't there just to make them fit when you plug them into your phone or laptop made out of a special insulating material these bands are meant to guard the wires when sound is being transmitted based on the number of bands you can figure out which end goes where some empty space under noodles in a cup doesn't mean the company producing them wants to cheat you out of a full portion no no it's a manner of keeping the noodles intact during their transportation it also helps with the circulation of hot water that is poured over the products before you can enjoy them the v-shaped neckline was initially designed to serve a bunch of objectives first as a way of prolonging the life of the Garment that would maintain its shape over the years it's also there to fit your head through the shirt in case it needs some stretching this way it ensures a snug or grip around the neck lastly it helps absorb sweat in case you're wearing the shirt while exercising now it's not necessarily a custom anymore but you may have stumbled upon a dinner jacket with an additional mysterious pocket on the right side turns out this pocket was used by men to easily reach their train tickets since most of them had to travel to work every day it helped them keep their jacket buttoned up but also benefited from the use of a pocket now it's only added as a decoration and it doesn't serve an actual purpose anymore speaking of things we don't use these days or at least for their initial purpose did you know Play-Doh was originally a cleaning product in the 1920s the market was in need of a product that could help them wipe the wallpapered areas around coal burning furnaces the recipe for what we now know as Play-Doh was thus invented it was manufactured in white only and was supposed to clean wallpaper by being rolled back and forth over the dirt it was only later in the 1940s that new products for cleaning wallpaper paper were brought up and Plato was redirected toward another area of the market now while I enjoy a nice piece of toast for breakfast isn't it pesky to have to clean out the toaster well not anymore since I recently found out that toasters have a slide or a panel at the bottom that helps get rid of all those annoying breadcrumbs easily foreign now there used to be a time when you could only have access to video games by inserting cartridges in your console of choice these tiny objects gave many doctors a lot of headaches people soon started popping up in hospitals after swallowing small game cartridges especially the younger generation Nintendo the company that manufactures the majority of these devices had to come up with a creative solution to prevent these accidents so these days Nintendo switch cartridges are purposely coded with specific chemicals that can leave a really bad bitter taste in the mouth not that I'd you know recommend you ever try and taste for yourself Road and construction workers are usually dressed in Orange because the bright orange Hue is visible even in bad weather it's the most effective color to attract attention and alert people no wonder lots of safety jackets and traffic cones are orange as well the stop sign has an eight-sided shape to help drivers recognize it easily even if they see it from the back and when the signs weren't reflective yet the octagon shape prevented drivers from confusing the stop sign with any other at night the rumble strips on the side of the road are placed there to alert drivers who doze off behind the wheel when their tires move over these strips the noise and vibration work like an alarm clock there are magnetic locks on fuel hoses at gas stations they come in handy if someone drives away with the gas nozzle still attached to their car in this case the lock detaches the hose automatically oh that's embarrassing gasoline looks like a rainbow in a puddle because it can't mix with water it forms a thin membrane over it when light reflects from it and the water at the same time you've got a rainbow a triple handle on a Jerry Camp is there to make it easier for two people to carry it and distribute fuel evenly gas cans often have a second hole that actually needs to be uncapped too before you pour the gas the air passage will prevent it from pouring out so no more fuel waste most gas cans have two holes with caps a bigger and a smaller one you're supposed to uncap the smaller hole before pouring gas inside the bigger one it'll prevent the liquid from glugging and spilling all over your clothes and the ground another little thingy we often neglect is a point on an ointment cap most tubes are usually sealed with a plastic film or foil and opening it with your fingernails isn't the best idea a point easily opens even the most safely sealed tube you can use most screwdrivers together with a wrench to create more torque just place the wrench over the handle of the screwdriver this way you'll need to apply a lot less Force than before you'll also be able to get to hard to reach areas more easily they install cameras in shops Banks and hospitals to monitor everything if something happens you can call the police or Rescuers the camera really helps to solve a lot of problems why are there no cameras on planes the crew keep order on the plane but they won't be able to do anything if something serious happens besides there's nowhere to run on the plane during the flight the cameras are useless and after the flight the words of the passengers work ideally instead of cameras so if cameras do no good then who I spend money on them water is great at cleaning stuff because it has triangular molecules they're made of one oxygen and two hydrogen atoms um H2O such molecules have slightly different charges on their opposite sides pretty much like magnets that's why water easily sticks to other molecules including those that make up dirt lots of private houses have triangular shaped roofs because this allows rain snow and fallen leaves to slide off the slope if all this stuff piled up on top of your house one day your roof would collapse when a storm is coming clouds seem to turn dark but it's just an illusion thin clouds on a sunny day let the light through easily they also scatter all the colors of the light spectrum this makes us perceive the clouds as white but the thicker the clouds are and the more water droplets they contain the less light they let through and the darker they look a good doorknob is the one made of brass bronze or some copper alloys these metals have an anti-germap effect bacteria Spread Way slower on them they also get rid of germs pretty fast within a couple of hours nope it doesn't mean you don't have to wash your hands diamonds have such symmetrical shape to show you their Brilliance initially the gems aren't so beautiful they go through several stages of cutting and then become pieces of Elegance most of these stones have a round shape with slightly pointed corners Diamonds shine the brightest in this shape why are there two holes in the socket the left hole is neutral the right hole is not and the Gap underneath is ground electricity needs to flow through the chain the current flows from the hot slot and passes through your phone charger for example and then goes through the neutral hole ever wondered what that small pocket on your jeans is for people used to wear watches on chains that small pocket was meant for it now almost no one wears such a watch but the pocket remains you can still keep something small in there like a ring in London there are some poles that look like Street lamps but there are no bulbs well their official name is stink pipes and they're a thing of the past now but they used to come in handy back in the 19th century these Hollow poles would vent away the air and explosive gases with bad smells to prevent shall we say unwanted consequences most kitchen shears have metal plier-like teeth in the middle between the handle grips they can help you crack nuts crab shells and other tough products you can also open jars and bottles or remove herb stems with their help leather often looks dull to the eye because it's covered with itsy bitsy scratches and scrapes they scatter the light that hits the material when you coat your shoes in a layer of wax you fill these tiny crevices the surface becomes smoother and the Rays of light bounds off it more evenly that's why the leather looks shiny highlighters are filled with a special semi-transparent fluorescent ink that can glow in dim light yellow and light green Hues are the most popular because they don't prevent you from seeing the text after black and white photocopying photocopiers perceive yellow and light green marks as very pale and don't print them they make magnets shaped as a horseshoe because this increases the magnetic force the colors matter too the blue part indicates the South Pole the red part the North Pole the two poles work simultaneously and increase the attraction Force the dime-sized holes in elevator doors is actually a keyhole if the doors get stuck an operator can open them manually thanks to this hole they'll just insert a special key the tiny hole in the airplane window is there to balance air pressure the window has three layers the outer pane is extremely sturdy it can withstand air pressure differences during takeoff and Landing the inner pane which is the closest to you is made of Cheaper materials it prevents potential damage to the window the hole itself is in the middle pane it not only balances the pressure but also prevents the window from fogging escalator brushes are there for your safety they don't allow you to come too close to the edge of the escalator this way your clothes won't end up between the steps you see the Sun as yellow or orange because the atmosphere of our planet scatters such colors as blue green and violet this is also why the sun looks warmer at sunrise and sunset go shopping for some oranges and I'm sure you'll get them in a red mesh bag you'll rarely see them lying around without one of those it's pure marketing and that color isn't a random Choice when packed in a red mesh bag oranges appear more orange fresher and more appealing to you so you're more likely to buy them right lemons are usually sold in green mesh bags for a similar reason if you pack them in red they'll appear more orange green goes better with yellow and makes those lemons stand out mattress manufacturers make a limited number of different mattresses and the only way to make them look different is to come up with a fancy stitching pattern two mattresses of two different companies might be the exact same quality but cost differently most people will never know it and will decide that different patterns need something in terms of quality so when shopping don't mind the pattern at all almost all hotels have white bed sheets they choose this color specifically to show how high their standards of cleanliness are the whiter and brighter the sheets are the more luxurious the hotel seems it's much easier to see dirt and stains on white linen it's like proof that you've checked into a clean room crackers have holes in them to stop them cracking and breaking during baking if the holes weren't there steam would build up inside the cracker and make it collapse take a look at a soda bottle and you'll notice a disc inside the bottle cap this helps seal in the liquid and the drinks Fizz stopping it from going flat the long neck on your soda bottle is designed like that to encourage you to hold it there that way the heat from your hand will only warm that top bit of the bottle instead of heating up your whole drink it's always hard to see your food in the microwave because of that pesky black grate on the window but it's there to stop harmful microwaves from escaping called the Faraday Shield it protects you as well as ensures that your food Cooks properly food items like chips come with about 43 nitrogen inside their package it might seem like they sell you half a bag of air but it's exactly the opposite oxygen the gas we breathe would react with the chips inside the bag and make them go rancid quickly it's called oxidizing for a reason nitrogen on the other hand is an inert gas that helps keep the foodstuffs fresh and also protects them from breaking during Transportation a bag of chips that has this gas cushion lets you enjoy your crunches without them turning to potato crumbs donuts have holes in them so that the inside and outside cook evenly before the holes were added the inside would often be greasy and doughy while the outside was crisp margins on paper aren't for writing in dates and numbering lists they were originally added to serve a protective function back in the day rats used to be a pesky problem in people's homes and paper was one of their favorite snacks margins were added as a safeguard so that the rats would nibble on blank paper rather than taking a bite out of your important work that hole in your Hollow lollipop stick isn't to prevent choking should it ever be swallowed it's actually there to keep the candy in place excess candy flows into the hollow tube and the hole which when it hardens keeps the pop in place if it was a smooth stick the candy would slide off easily vacuums come with so many attachments but do any of us really know what that one with long bristles is for it's for dusting and is perfect for cleaning framed art blinds and lab shades what's the difference between a wooden hanger and a

beverage Lids the small button on them let restaurant workers and customers too understand what's in a cup near each button there's a name just look at which one is pushed down the numbers on the fruit stickers tell you how exactly they were grown if there are four digits and the first is four or three the fruit has been sprayed with pesticides if there are five digits and the first is nine the fruit has been grown organically if there are five digits and the first is eight the fruit has been genetically modified when you're on your way back to the car after bagging up everything you bought use loops on a shopping cart to hang the bags now softer items like bread eggs fruit and veggies won't get squashed by the heavier Goods if you don't have anyone to hold the other end of your tape measure when you try to measure something tap a nail on it now simply hook your tape on it using the tiny hole all tape measures have the square shaped spoon that goes with a McFlurry helps to mix the ice cream toppings through the dessert the spoon hooks directly to a machine and spins around padlocks that are used outside quickly get out of order because of rain see this little hole in the bottom it's made for pouring engine oil inside do this and the key will again turn in the lock without any difficulty you keep banging the bottom of a glass ketchup jar but nothing's coming out here's a little tip turn your ketchup bottle at an angle and tap on the middle of the neck in many fast food restaurants customers fill tiny folded paper cups to get a portion of ketchup or mustard

air helping the water flow down most metallic zippers have a hidden lock inside them to save you from awkward situations such as an undone fly don't leave the zipper handle in an upward position when you pull it downwards it automatically locks it's all thanks to those tiny grooves hidden underneath the handle spoiled milk emits gases like most Foods when they go off a classic plastic milk jug has a concave shape on one side so when the gases expand inside The Jug it expands too and the concave shape curves out also if you want to save some milk for later and freeze it The Jug will expand when the milk gets solid as well occupying more space in a jock bath foam isn't only for fun or a nice smell it also helps regulate the temperature the bubbles keep the water hot so you can enjoy a bath a bit longer anyway it works for acrylic bathtubs only those made of metal lose heat really fast either way many cups and mugs have little grooves on the bottom on purpose they're designed for washing machines the grooves let the water flow and not spill over your feet when you take the cup out also those grooves let the air flow so the cup doesn't crack even if the tea is scalding a point on an ointment cap is there for a reason too most tubes are usually sealed with foil and it's better to avoid opening it with fingers unless you're ready to say goodbye to your nails I'll Point easily opens

accessory the Pom-Pom was originally added to the hat to prevent Sailors from banging their heads on the ceilings of the ships that were too low over 40 billion Oreos are made every single year it's the world's most popular manufactured cookie the geometric design stamped into these cookies has the Nabisco logo the symbol of European quality surrounding the word Oreo William turnier created the chocolate cookie design we see today back in 1952 headphone Jacks might become a thing of the past because of Wireless technology but if you've seen one you might have noticed the Rings at the base of the plug one ring means single sound playback two rings represent stereo sound in the left and right ear while three rings means you've got stereo and a microphone built in now the iconic orange red purple yellow and lime green rings of Fruit Loops hide a deep secret within they don't represent different fruit flavors all those rings are the same fruit flavors Blended together the colors are just for show the e in Del logo is at an angle because the founder Michael Dell wanted his technology to turn the world on its ear a compass uses magnets to point to the Magnetic North Pole but it's not really North at all the North Pole of a compass magnet points toward the north because the North and South attract Earth's South magnetic pole is near the geographic North while the North Pole is near Earth's Geographic South confusing isn't it those little red spots you sometimes see after you crack an egg are nothing to be worried about tiny blood spots can be caused by a small rupture in the

covers in the street are round for safety reasons in past civilizations like ancient Rome manholes that's what they were called back then where Square shaped slabs of stone unfortunately these were prone to accidents if they weren't placed properly a square cover could slip through the square hole diagonally ow placing a round cover illuminated this problem a circle cover won't slip inside because there are no angles a tomato isn't technically a vegetable but a fruit banana trees aren't related to palm trees or trees at all they're herbs banana is considered an herb because it never builds a woody trunk the way a tree does instead it forms a succulent stalk like lemongrass or its cousin Ginger you can call them berries as well the Golden Gate Bridge color wasn't meant to be the orangey red that it is today the Bridge's original color was suggested to be many other colors such as black with yellow stripes or even candy cane to make it visible for passing ships and aircraft especially in the frequent San Francisco fog but when the steel arrived covered in an orange primer to protect it from rust the architect preferred the international orange color and it's done those

legs about to eat that yodler over there no not really this is because bears are a big part of Baron one of the biggest cities in Switzerland where the founder created the triangle Chocolate Tree Toblerone is also a play on the founders family named tobler and the Italian word Tyrone for honey and almond nougat the space below a cup of noodles is there to protect the noodles during transport this technique is called a middle suspension not only are they protected better in their Styrofoam cup but it also helps those noodles soften more evenly and quickly now even though you might have thought that the hole in the barrel of a ballpoint pen had no purpose it does it's called a venting system which helps the ink flow more smoothly this way an even amount of air pressure is created inside and outside the pen allowing the ink to flow go into the point easily one of the most recognized logos in the cycling world has a hidden item in its famous logo inside the Tour de France name a cyclist hides in the o u and r those metal brackets on the top of the nozzles and gas stations have a unique design put into place in case of accidents if a Dodo accidentally forgets the nozzle is

the top just for this reason Tostitos have a secret symbol hidden right in the middle of their name the two T's in the middle of the logo resemble two people enjoying Tostitos over a bowl of salsa the salsa Bowl is in red and forms the dot in the eye one of the most recognizable figures in the world the Statue of Liberty for 16 years function as a fully operational Lighthouse however the light was

artists who can't afford to buy and use expensive Fabrics garbage bags are very flexible so they are a useful material for making patterns for future outfits when it comes to garbage bags the DIY Project's possibilities are almost infinite people use bags to make lampshades clothes covers small cosmetic bags makeup organizers recycled glasses and whatnot some even weave baskets bags and floor rugs out of them it's pretty easy to hand craft a rug you need to cut several bags into equal strips and weave a long braid from these strips now twist this braid into a spiral entire glue each layer together to secure this entire construction from breaking you can screw your rug on a sewing machine from the middle to the edges as if you're drawing a star this plastic braid can also serve as emergency laces a rope or a handmade ribbon for decorating gifts and flowers filmmaking is another yield where garbage bags can be real stars if you're shooting indoors and the sunlight is too sharp you can put white garbage bags on all windows to diffuse the light or to set the white balance black light proof garbage bags may serve you as a shading curtain to get rid of the sunlight in the room whatsoever feel free to use a white bag to create a diffused light bulb inflate the bag like a balloon and put it next to a lamp but make sure to use a LED light so it doesn't get too hot everyone knows that touching a plastic bag with a hot iron is a bad idea because it will melt but this lets us create unique shapes from this colorful and affordable material want to make a unique designer base take a bowl and cover it with paper tightly then wrap the matching strips of plastic bag around the bowl now Place another layer of paper on the top and gently iron over the entire surface of the bowl voila the Plastics melted and you got a new stylish and eco-friendly vase garbage bags can produce very cool sound effects if you live in a desert where it never rains and need to recreate that relaxing sound use a plastic bag it's always better to speak up like an adult but if that doesn't work for you here's a quick fix next time some annoying person calls you don't bother to make excuses why you can't talk right now just grab a garbage bag and rustle it into your phone speaker yelling hello hello I can't hear you confession time had you ever used this trick each airplane carrying over 19 passengers must have a crash ax you will see it installed as a firefighting device that way if there's an electrical fire crew members can cut away the cockpit or some other panels the pilots can actually break the windscreen if something bad happens and people need to evacuate passenger planes are mostly white to protect them from solar radiation and its effects aircrafts need to remain cool at airports in particularly hot countries while passengers are going in or out brilliant white paint can bounce the sunlight back it also protects some parts of the plane that are made of composite materials and prevents their damage since there's higher ultraviolet radiation at high altitudes commercial planes must get to speeds of at least 155 miles per hour to achieve stability and safety at takeoff some smaller planes can sustain altitude even at speeds of 30 miles per hour but when speeds are that low the plane can easily get destabilized and could even fail the takeoff the white trails that planes leave behind also known as contrails are created because of water vapor vapor is produced during the combustion of fuel in plane engines when the plane reaches its cruising altitude of 32 800 feet temperatures get quite low about negative 67 degrees Fahrenheit it's really cold so the water turns into particles of ice how long these particles are going to remain visible mostly depends on humidity the higher the level of humidity is the bigger those trails get and remain visible even long after the plane has disappeared airplanes all over the globe get struck by lightning almost on a daily basis regular airplane in commercial service gets hit on average once a year how often it happens depends on a couple of things first how many Landings and takeoffs the plane performs since lightning mostly strikes at Heights between 5 000 and 15 000 feet it also depends on location for instance it's more likely for a plane to get struck by lightning around the equator and in some other parts of the world modern planes are designed to withstand such strikes they have to go through special lightning tests to prove they can cope with strikes planes mostly fly at altitudes of up to seven miles there are some benefits like the thinner air or producing less aerodynamic drag which also means less fuel consumption the temperatures up there are lower which makes the jet engines more efficient that part of the atmosphere is also less turbulent which helps make flights smoother some planes have already gone into space but not the ones you see at the airport those classical planes need air to go up and space is basically just a vacuum the first plane that reached space was designed around 70 years ago during its first flight it generated lift and stability using its thin stubby wings it traveled more than five times the speed of sound [Music] there are at least one sextillion planets out there in our universe to give you an idea of how huge this number is our planet weighs almost one sextillion times more than some animals like a bear none of these planets are cubic triangular or any other shape they're all round at its Beginnings a planet is just a cloud of dust and rocks that rotates around a central star dust and small pieces attract each other because of gravity and they keep doing it until they form a blob now the blob starts attracting more matter it grows and gets bigger until it's done with collecting everything in its path gravitational forces work equally in all directions so that blob gets a round shape but not the perfect one our planet for instance is almost a sphere but with a bulge in the middle the Bulge is there because the Earth is spinning every time it rotates on its axis the middle part travels further than the top the area at the equator is moving quicker than the area at the poles and the faster you spin something the more you'll throw it outwards sound will travel four times faster in water than in air it's a wave and that's why it moves faster in a denser substance particles that are close to each other as in denser substances will bump into each other more easily water is denser there are 800 times more particles in a bottle of water than in the same sized bottle filled with air bubbles are round because they occur in a thin film such as one of soapy water traps air the molecules in the film attract each other that way they stick together and also shape a sphere because that's the smallest possible area that encloses any given volume they can't get any smaller because they have trapped air inside you can turn your pencil into a diamond if you apply a temperature of 2550 degrees Fahrenheit and pressure of 55 000 atmospheres you can transform graphite into diamond there are actually two variations of a single chemical element carbon diamonds aren't just used in jewelry but for different purposes for example as a cutting tool for electronic devices beavers are amazing Builders capable of creating cool and complex Riverside structures they build them to protect themselves from wild animals that might go after them like wolves or bears but not in the way it may look at first beavers don't really live in their dams they only use them as a barrier making some sort of a pool or Pond of deeper water that's where their real home is in the pool it's like a small island or Dome Lodge it's a dry area where beavers are safe they can also store their food there these pools are deep enough for land animals to avoid them beavers dig underwater tunnels that are entrances into their home if a predator or some other danger is coming they can quickly escape to safety some animals sleep while standing zebras elephants horses some birds like flamingos cows can sleep while standing but they prefer to lie down when they want to rest to sleep while standing animals need to have legs that can align vertically that way they don't have to activate their muscles to keep them standing their knees also lock in place it's better for these animals to sleep while standing because they'd probably be too slow to react if there was a predator going after them when we laugh in some unpleasant situations or when we feel nervous we're actually trying to mask our true emotions for example you do something embarrassing and try to cover up the shame you feel also we're more relaxed after laughing so if you're nervously chuckling in an unpleasant situation it can help you clear some of your negative emotions when you buy a bottle of water you can see it has an expiration date it's not that the water inside will turn bad the expiration date is there because the plastic may start to leach into the water over time and contaminate it with chemicals that might be bad for us the moon has its own time zone the astronomers created a special watch for all moonwalkers it measures time in lunations which is the period of time the moon needs to rotate and revolve around our planet e each lunation is almost 30 000 Earth days you can decaffeinate your coffee if you take it into a sauna to moisten the green coffee bean within temperatures of 160 to 210 degrees Fahrenheit the point is to get 10 milligrams or less of caffeine per one coffee that's when you can put it in the decaf category one serving of regular coffee has 50 to 75 milligrams of caffeine there's a reason the Earth spins our solar system formed 4.5 billion years ago there was a raging cloud of dust and gas molecules and atoms in that cloud had a tendency to rotate in a certain direction that same Cloud collapsed under gravitational forces gravity magnified its initial rotation and then flattened it out into a disc our planet formed within that disc and now it's spinning because of that old pattern of its parent cloud have you ever stopped to think about the thrilling secrets of day-to-day Modern Life on planet Earth I'm talking about tiny windows and washing machines and little holes in Airplane windows if you haven't got a clue of what I'm talking about tag along and allow yourself to be as surprised as I was when I found out remember the drawer at the bottom of your oven maybe you've been ignoring it all along or using it to store pots and pans well even though it can serve this function that's not the only thing it's there for the best way to use the bottom drawer is to keep your meal heated while you're waiting to serve it genius right talking about secret doors have you noticed that most washing machines have little flap doors at the bottom too these doors actually serve as drain traps it's where all the items that we put to wash together with our jeans and jackets go to it's a type of collector let's say of small items it stops them from getting into the main drain pipes and clogging them it saves us hundreds of dollars in repairs each month now who hasn't gone through the confusing task of having to measure how much pasta to cook for one serving well here's the solution the holes in the center of pasta spoons they were actually made for measuring the exact amount of dry pasta you need for one serving if you try stuffing wet cooked pasta through it well good luck with that on a similar topic have you ever wondered why pen caps have holes in them maybe you thought it was a design feature to regulate air pressure but in reality these holes have a much simpler and more important function to reduce the risk of choking now lots of people love to bite on their calves and this tiny hole prevents them from choking in case they accidentally swallow a cap and it gets stuck in their throat for kitchen lovers there's a hidden secret right in front of your eyes that can change your life think pants now think handles right they have holes in them as it turns out these holes were designed to hold the spoon you're using for cooking and instead of Dripping sauce all over the stove or your kitchen floor you can place the spoon in the hole and let it drip the sauce directly back into the pan thinking of everyday items and I was most doorknobs are made of brass because this material makes them naturally germ free unlike plastic ones brass door knobs are kind of magical they can disinfect themselves without you having to clean them neat right have you ever noticed that at the bottom of a measuring tape there is a little dip you can find it in that metallic part you need to pull on to measure something well that dip is actually the exact size of a regular nail it was designed for people to place the tape on top of a nail and use it as a support while they stretch the tape well I can't wait to try it out for myself as for the margins in your notebook they were invented to protect people's Notes From Mice now the mice weren't copying your answers for the math quiz actually there were times when people had to cohabitate with rats and mice that often chewed on paper so to prevent information from getting completely lost people created margins this way texts were moved closer to the middle of pages and remained unharmed by rodents perhaps this is where to digest information came from and what about those tiny holes at the bottom of airplane windows they have an extremely important function of regulating the air pressure inside the cabin in other words they help planes fly high up in the sky big responsibility right by the way tray tables on an airplane are the germiest places inside the entire cabin studies show that the trays had eight times the amount of germs on the toilet flush button now how about we cut a commercial airplane in half and see what's inside well it would look more or less like this rows of seats on top and everything else that needs to be stored at the bottom I'm talking about passengers luggage emergency supplies parts of the wing system and so on moving on to bowling balls yes I know it's a clumsy transition anyway have you ever wondered what the insides of a bowling ball look like if you have cut a professional ball in two you'll see a familiar shape look closely do you see it doesn't that look like the logo of bright side anyway professional bowling balls are different from the ones in your local bowling alley that's because they're designed to make fancy moves they actually have some really complex engineering inside they're shaped to help skilled professionals get more strides the weight of professional bowling balls is designed to be projected inward as they travel down the bowling lane this makes it harder for them to get into the gutters on the sides of the lane speaking of balls let's take a look inside a baseball to make it light and aerodynamic producers use several different layers starting from the core we have a cork Center enveloped by black rubber then there's a layer of Red Rubber followed by two or three alternating layers of wool yarn after that there's a visible white leather cover and that beautiful red seam on the side stitching it all together and what if you had x-ray vision and managed to look inside a human ball ooh spooky I'd say what caused most attention is the spider web-like situation at the center of the ball in reality it's a highly condensed and complex structure of nerves that you have inside your bones aren't you lucky now I've got a riddle for you what is round can be found near the ocean and looks like an aerial view of the Guggenheim Museum in New York City the one that's made almost entirely of ramps if you said a nautilus shell hey then you guessed right a nautilus is a shellfish whose house you can find in countless souvenir stores near the beach it's made up of two layers a matte white outer layer and an iridescent white inner layer and if you were to cut it in half it would look very similar to the insides of the Guggenheim Museum aloe leaves are good for healing purposes and also for hydration but if you manage to look inside of an aloe leaf the image you'd see would be satisfying and very relaxing who hasn't dreamed of a pool filled with jelly now there seems to be nothing more mundane and regular than a tube of toothpaste but you wouldn't think so if you cut open a tube that contains several colors now there have been speculations that the insides of such a toothpaste tube might be divided by barriers so that the stripes don't mix but if you cut it in half you'll see that it has only one interior chamber as it happens there's a lot of science behind the making of striped toothpaste according to a specialist they have to ensure that the paste in all the stripes has the same physical properties this way the colors are naturally prevented from mixing with one another that's why if you tear a tube open you'll see something that looks like several slices of pizza in different colors if you open your closet you're bound to find at least a few wooden hangers usually they're made of cedar wood which is a natural moth repellent so Cedar hangers actually protect your clothes from moth infestation for some people more than others eyeliner is an everyday must boy isn't it but did you know that back in ancient Egyptian times both men and women use cool eyeliners to protect their eyes from the sun's glare way to go for the Egyptians for figuring that out now if I could just learn to walk like one normally we use rest for the purpose of well resting our heads right well not only as it turns out head rest can be easily removed from the seats and used to break car windows in case of emergencies now this one is a trick very few people know about you probably place your doormat horizontally like most of us do but doormats serve the purpose of absorbing dirt from the soles of your shoes before you enter your home so for this function to work as it's meant to the best way to place a doormat is vertically this way you take more steps on the top of the doormat before entering your house and last but not least now I don't want to be accusatory here but you have probably been vacuuming your house the wrong way and I can prove it most people just vacuum floors and carpets in One Direction or move the brush back and forth several times thinking they've got all the dust down but according to cleaning professionals the best way to vacuum is in roads first you go forward with a brush until you arrive at the end of the row then you fluff the carpet up and move back down along the same row Gathering the dust that wasn't collected in the first swing talk about efficient cleaning on the other hand my idea of house cleaning is to sweep the room with a glance hey I don't want to disturb that protective layer of dust whether it's something as simple as a button on your jeans or something that's part of a larger moving mechanism here are 26 secrets to everyday things you probably didn't know about you use doorknobs every day so it's right to be concerned about how many germs could be on them however they have made doorknobs out of brass partly for that reason brass provides an antimicrobial effect eliminating the microorganisms that we're hoping to start a colony on your doorknob your pants have that one-fifth pocket that's recognized as the small useless one originally it was there to provide a safe place for your pocket watch something that was necessary when first implemented in 1901 it then continued to remain for traditional purposes however it's still a great place to put your Tic Tacs you've probably mistaken those little rivets on your jeans as some form of fashion statement similar to the small pocket in fact they're incredibly important they are there to provide extra support for areas that withstand the most strenuous parts of your clothing preventing them from embarrassingly falling apart that little button at the end of your seatbelt seems like it's way out of place in fact it's there to ensure your Buckle will always remain at the end so you won't have to awkwardly fiddle with your seatbelt every time you put it on you're in a new car or a rental and the gauge tells you the gas is getting low you don't know which side the fuel cap is on from the inside it can cause unnecessary effort at the gas station however your fuel gauge has an arrow that reminds you which side to fill your gas tank up from some models of cars may also have a gas tank hose instead with the hose pictured on the side that the cap is on hiking and walking through snow requires the best kind of Footwear the shoes which are perfect for this also have an extra eyelet for your lace to Loop through looping your laces through the extra eyelets will give more support for your ankles and feet and will provide more stability as you walk but as you walk blisters are also a concern the sweat in your shoe creates friction between the feet and the shoe which then helps create the blisters antiperspirant that you use for your armpits will help keep the feet from sweating just make sure you use the clear one cooking for people is always nice however sometimes the guests are late yep we're all guilty of that sometimes right the extra drawer under your oven where you've been keeping all of your spare pots and pans was actually made to keep your food warm great for those who are late to the meal ever wondered how long that padlock could possibly last when it's outside in the rainy weather keeping your bike safe it has a little hole at the bottom of it it's there to drain water to avoid corrosion on the inside it also serves to provide oil further prolonging its use that hole in the elevator door isn't there to check who's inside so you can avoid sharing a ride with specific people it's a keyhole in case it breaks down ketchup sauce bottles and all other condiments we love all have a stage when it's difficult to get the insides out you try hitting it shaking it and poking things inside to encourage the tasty condiments to come out luckily there is an easier way to do it the label at the top suggests where to tap the bottle the sauce will come out easier and smoother allowing gravity to take the place of frustration the purpose of wooden coat hangers is to help repel pesky insects and avoid fungal growth that eats away at your clothing as it's made of cedar wood it contains oils that have insecticidal and fungicidal properties and were used as far back as the ancient Egyptians although they used it for other purposes we've all been trained and tested at the art of typing and know the correct way to use a keyboard but you may not have noticed that the F and J Keys have a small Ridge at the bottom they're there to help you find your correct starting place with your fingers on the keyboard without having to look down if you've been lucky enough to get the window seat on the plane you would have noticed that little hole at the bottom of the window it helps with the air pressure on the plane the window itself is made from acrylic and isn't actually glass which saves it from fogging up so you can see the scenery on your journey the windows on planes were originally Square however they would continuously break from the constant changes in pressure round windows are able to evenly distribute the pressure ensuring you'll have a pleasant journey without falling out for all you Nintendo switch players those who have tried to taste your cartridges will notice they have a bitter taste the manufacturers added it intentionally as the switch's cartridge size is very small and it might be a hazard for the youngest players that have a tendency to put things in their mouth that they shouldn't so the bitter taste made from denatonium benzoate ensures that they won't be tasted for too long Cosmetics containers that are filled with products used for your skin have a secret number on them this is to help inform you how long the product will be usable ensuring it doesn't cause the reverse effect by damaging your skin instead pen Lids have a hole at the end of them it's not there to help your pen breathe and boost performance but it's there to help you breathe just in case while you're sitting in class or at work and you're chewing on your lid and just happen to swallow it you can be rest assured if it's stuck the pen makers were thinking of you when you're traveling by car or any other form of ground transportation and you're trying to drink your favorite pop from a straw you'll find it quite difficult to do at times simply turn the tab on the can around so that your straw easily fits inside making it easier to drink out of there are always spare buttons when buying new clothes along with a little bit of fabric it's far too small to repair that crutch part that always rips first the fabric is actually there for you to test how to wash it so you don't accidentally ruin your brand new clothes determining how much pass do you need just for yourself can be difficult to figure out your big spaghetti spoon with the big hole on the inside that looks like it's there to drain water is actually there so you can put the uncooked pasta inside before cooking so you know exactly how much you need new shoes always come with those strange little packets that's silica gel the gels are there to reduce the moisture in the air to avoid any fungal growth while the shoes were waiting to be purchased there's a lot of chemistry involved to get you that silica and it's very effective capable of absorbing 50 percent of the humidity so make sure you don't throw it away next time you need to dry out your electrical devices it's a lot easier than using rice it's difficult enough to see at night whilst driving but it's even worse when the driver behind you shines their high beams your rear view mirror has a tab at the bottom when you press it it changes the angle one is for day driving the other well for night time it'll help in case that one person driving behind you has forgotten to turn off their high beams although your screwdriver is ergonomically made for your hand sometimes you have that one screw that's too hard to loosen up the handle is also shaped so you can easily fit inside of a ring spanner or wrench allowing you to apply more Force ensuring that you can remove that Troublesome screw the skirt part on an escalator seems like a good spot to get your foot stuck but in reality those long brushes poking out aren't there to give you an extra shine on your shoes but for safety precautions to minimize the risk of trapping
