[Music] well hi lookie here test your intuition and guess which of these statements are true you know our world is a wonderful place full of funny unexpected and interesting things we learn something new every day do you think you have enough common sense to guess which general facts are true and which are false well let's test it but before we start don't forget to subscribe to our Channel turn on notifications as well so you don't miss any of our new videos everything is simple we'll give you a statement or ask you a question and you have to guess whether it's true or false you'll have just a few seconds to think about it ready then let's get started number one let's start with an easy one here's your first fact chameleons change color to match their surroundings true or false [Music] everyone knows this good old fact but it's actually false chameleons change color as a response to certain factors like temperature communication and light it has nothing to do with where they are be careful these questions aren't as easy as you might think and if you dodged that bullet props to you but don't relax as there are more questions to come number two right-handed people live longer than left-handed people what do you say nope this is just a popular myth that started with a couple of flawed reports in 1988 nature a scientific journal published a brief report showing a statistical difference in longevity between right-handed and left-handed people the data for the report was gathered from professional baseball players later these same authors published another study in the New England Journal of Medicine that demonstrated an even larger lifespan difference critics of these studies claim that the methods the authors used were seriously flawed other approaches confirmed that lifespan and handedness are in no way related so all left-handers can happily sigh with relief but third basemen really do live way longer than pitchers no that's not true either I was just messing with you either way three strikes and you're out number three only female mosquitoes by humans use your intuition to try and guess whether it's true or not [Music] if your common sense told you that it's true congratulations you're right male mosquitoes feed on flower nectar female mosquitoes on the other hand need the protein found in human and animal blood to reproduce and so they feed on us and by the way if you've ever wondered why mosquitoes mostly bite you and no one else there's an explanation for it you're a sweetie well now it turns out that female mosquitoes have approximately seventy two types of odor receptors and 27 of them can recognize the octenol nan and all and carbon dioxide chemicals found in human sweat people who have higher levels of these chemicals in their sweat get bitten way more often it's as simple as that number four keeping dogs as pets is banned in Iceland do you think it's true [Music] actually it's kind of not anymore it was the case in the 1920s though when this band served as a measure to prevent a really long word that I just had to go look up at konoka kosis a type of tapeworm that can be passed from dogs to humans please don't ask me how that happens now the situation has changed and you can get permission to have a dog according to the regulations every dog has to be registered to both an address and an individual the individual can have any animal abuse or criminal charges that might suggest that they would be using the dog as a guard or attack dog moreover several guard dogs are banned completely so having a dog isn't illegal in Iceland citizens just tend to go for cats number five at one point Apple launched a clothing line try to make up your mind quickly in fact Apple did have a clothing line back in 1986 so if you guess true you're right just one year after Steve Jobs resigned as chairman the company decided to give the Apple collection ago it was a line of Apple branded clothing accessories and lifestyle items and it allowed fans to show their appreciation and love for the company just imagine what it would be like now who knows maybe someday Apple will go back to this idea hey we can all walk around in gray turtleneck sand jeans like Steve Jobs number six is dog food taster an actual job Chloe what do you think [Music] Wow this truly exists all you have to do is taste dog food to make sure it meets the brand's quality standards whatever those are the typical salary for dog food tasters is twenty six thousand five hundred bucks for an entry-level job in the quality Department however it's possible to make even more if you're willing to not only taste the food but also develop new recipes yourself so give yourself another check if you've got it right and a cross if you guessed incorrectly alrighty then number seven we as humans share 70% of our DNA with bananas true or false so what do you think is it a surprising truth or complete nonsense the reality is that we do share DNA with bananas but it's 50% not 70% by the way can you spell all the letters of the word banana in the comments without another comment interrupting you let's see who will be able to do it first Hey for extra credit do you know what the bright side and a banana have in common yes we both have a peel okay sorry about that let's move on number 8 the Guinness World Records set for the longest interval between the birth of twins is 87 days who would think about it [Music] it's the true story of Maria Jones Eliot's birthing experience Maria went into labor four months early and gave birth to Amy but Katy arrived three months later doctors have told the family that it's a true miracle and that they achieved the medical equivalent of winning the lottery with both girls alive and healthy the previous record was 84 days held by Peggy Lynn from Pennsylvania number nine it rains diamonds on Jupiter and Saturn accurate or inaccurate according to modern scientists this is a fact the BBC reported that new atmospheric data for the gas giants indicates that carbon is abundant in its dazzling crystal form plus one thousand tons of diamonds are created every year on Saturn alone the biggest diamonds would very likely be just about a centimeter in diameter still it's highly impressive and fascinating right ooh that also means there are carats on Saturn to think about it number 10 you can marry a dead person in France is this a real fact or a fake one well the ceremony would be pretty one-sided now wouldn't it posthumous marriage is a legal procedure in France that allows citizens to marry a deceased person now this sounds kind of wrong and a bit creepy but there's a perfectly good explanation for it it all started during World War one when many women wanted to tie the knot with their deceased lovers now the procedure has a strict set of rules if you want to go ahead with a posthumous marriage you have to send a request to the president of France he then forwards it to the Justice Minister who once again forwards it to the prosecutor for the surviving members District if the couple originally planned to get married and the family of the deceased approves of this as well the prosecutor sends the application back to the president however there's still a chance that it won't work as one in four applications are rejected number 11 is it illegal to be overweight in Japan think carefully well for the most part it's false sure Japan has a strict policy concerning people's weight it's called the Metabo law but it doesn't include actual imprisonment or anything severe like that this law basically requires Japanese citizens between the ages of 45 and 74 to have their waist lines measured once a year the Metabo law affects men with waist lines larger than 35 point 4 inches and women with waist lines larger than 31.5 inches people who fall into this category are encouraged to seek medical treatment to deal with the problem so no going to jail or anything like that for overweight Japanese people apparently sumo wrestlers have their own set of rules number 12 in the 1830s ketchup was sold and used as medicine yes or no [Music] well it's hard to believe but it really is true originally ketchup was a concoction of fish and mushrooms however in 1834 when it was published that tomatoes solve digestion problems dr. John cook Bennett added tomatoes to ketchup for more nutrients and antioxidants he claimed that this new ketchup could cure diarrhea indigestion and rheumatism he made his sauce into an extract and started selling tomato pills all this turned into a true ketchup war though when copycats started to sell their own tomato pills as well this ended only in the 1850s when most authorities debunked ketchup as a hoax ketchup will however cure the lonely french fry number 13 birds are related to dinosaurs ridiculous or true it's your call [Music] of course it's false birds aren't related to dinosaurs they are dinosaurs you see all dinosaur groups really did become extinct but one of them survived and went on to become all the birds we see today modern paleontology indicates that birds of all from Surrey she and dinosaurs and may have started to emerge about a hundred and fifty million years ago well before the invention of ketchup but that's not all you can also say that birds are reptiles in modern biology scientists follow phylogenetic classification which divides animals into groups by their ancestry and in this reptile category they're most closely related to crocodiles oh that's mind-blowing number 14 you can't snore and dream at the same time reality or just a myth this one is still a big mystery to us do you know the right answer hey my dog Riley can do both but what about you what are your thoughts on this is it possible to do both share your opinions in the comments below and let's try to find the truth together so what's the most shocking and surprising thing you've learned recently tell us in the comments don't forget to give us a like and click Subscribe to stay on the bright side of life
