That’s Why Piggy Banks Are Pigs

It’s always cool to learn new things, though we rarely waste our time answering ”why” questions. Why are chili peppers hot? Why do we collect money in “piggy” banks? Why is pizza round but the box is square? Why are most erasers pink?

Humanity has been asking this question since the beginning. Our brain starts working before birth and its development never stops. In order to keep the brain function normal and healthy for our entire life, we need to feed new knowledge to our grey matter. So here are the most interesting answers to the questions about everything at once.

What If We Stopped Shaking Hands?

We’ve been shaking hands since as early as 1800 BCE, when we thought we could absorb the gods’ power. Well, we’re absorbing something alright. Research has shown we have over 3,000 bacteria on our hands, including fecal matter, from 150 different species. Gross. To make matters worse, the average person shakes hands 15,000 times in their lifetime. So, what if we stopped shaking hands altogether?

Why There Are White Trails After a Plane

Even though traveling by plane is common nowadays, these huge steel birds are still surrounded by secrets and myths that give birth to a lot of questions. Pardon the pun, but it’s high time to get more answers!

Ever noticed, for example, how on a cold day, you see your own puff of breath when you exhale? The exact same thing happens to a plane. The temperature at 25,000 feet or higher, which is cruising altitude, is really low, around -30 degrees Fahrenheit. Ok, but why are these contrails sometimes long and sometimes short?

#planes #aviation #brightside

SUMMARY:
– The cold air condenses, and sometimes even freezes the hot exhaust fumes, creating those white “tails” which look a lot like smoke. That’s why they’re often called “condensation trails”, or contrails.
– Long contrails form in humid conditions, while low humidity makes them much shorter.
– Hot air is less dense than cool air. This means the air molecules are spread further apart from each other, so they come into contact with the plane’s wings less. As a result, it’s harder for a plane to take off.
– Losing an engine in-flight isn’t even considered a serious problem by pilots. This is mainly because planes that fly over oceans, or for long-distance routes, have special certificates that indicate the exact time they can operate safely with one engine.
– If the cabin is depressurized at a high altitude, the passengers won’t be able to breathe, so they use oxygen masks. At the same time, the pilot will start descending right away to get lower than 10,000 feet, where it’s possible to breathe normally again.
– Most airlines claim that the safest seat is just a myth. But statistics of airplane crashes beg to differ. They say that this seat is at the back.
– The black stickers are located on about four windows in a cabin. Each of them is aligned with the edge of the wings.
– The frequent pressurization and depressurization caused the window corners to deform and even break. Turned out, round windows can withstand the pressure of cruising altitude much better.
– Apart from the fact that, on board, you’ll get only defrosted dishes which’ve lost a big part of their flavor, the pressurization of the cabin is to blame.
– If you’re a nervous flyer, here’s a tip for you – choose morning flights, because the air is less bumpy at this time.
– Ears pop because there’s a rapid change in pressure when a plane reaches a cruising altitude or lands. There’s not enough time for the pressure inside the inner ear and the air pressure outside to equalize.
– Sadly, tray table surfaces have eight times more bacteria than the lavatory flush buttons. Unfortunately, quite often, cleaning crews don’t have enough time between flights to take care of everything properly.
– A newborn can become the citizen of the country where the airline is registered; the country over which they were born; or the country where the plane landed.
– Training for skydivers requires many hours, in which they learn all the details about handling a parachute and how to land safely. What’s more, even the most experienced skydivers don’t jump from an altitude higher than 15,000 feet.

10+ Tips to Learn Things Faster Than the Average Person

Thanks to University of the People for sponsoring this video! Make sure to click the link below if you want to give your brain a real training and get an education accessible to anyone!
https://www.uopeople.edu/?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=influencer_brightside_1

You ever walk into a room just to forget where you were going or what you were looking for? How about finding your car keys in the fridge or the dog’s food in your cereal bowl? Sounds like you could use a brain boost. There’re some really great ways you can train the old thinker!

Did you know, for example, that automated actions stall your brain since it’s not taking an active part in what you’re doing? Or that solving math problems doesn’t even rack your brain as much as learning an unfamiliar tongue? And if you have a sweet tooth, this one’s for you: chocolate contains an important amino acid that helps your brain process things faster and with more efficiency!

SUMMARY:
– Drawing makes your right brain hemisphere work like a hundred horses, triggering creativity and helping you find unconventional solutions to problems at hand.
– Automated actions stall your brain since it’s not taking an active part in what you’re doing. To avoid this lack of memory and train your brain at the same time, change up your routine every day.
– You can get a degree that fits your schedule, and avoid student-debt at University of the People, the first non-profit, US-accredited, online university, where you can get a tuition-free Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in the most in-demand fields like: business administration, education, health, computer science.
– If you’re a righty, take a spoon or your toothbrush into your left hand and do the usual stuff. Lefties, you’re now righties for the day!
– Typing on a keyboard or smartphone is okay too, but actual writing with a pen on paper activates critical-thinking and increases your analytical skills.
– When you learn a language, you take on a whole new system, and your brain has no other choice but to adapt to the circumstances.
– Chess is one of the oldest strategic games in the world, and it’s stood the test of time because it’s awesome, as simple as that. If you play it regularly, you’ll learn to concentrate and think bigger, taking actions that will affect your life a few steps ahead.
– One 2015 study found that action video games in particular improve reaction time, observation skills, and decision-making.
– House work also contributes to your brain power. It boils down to physical activity (which is great for the noggin, but more on that later!). It’s also effective at taking your mind off the bigger problems too.
– Walking increases your blood flow, which means more blood (and oxygen that hitchhikes along with it) reaches your brain. This boosts the thinking organ’s activity, making it more flexible when it comes to important stuff.
– If you have a sweet tooth, this one’s for you: chocolate contains an important amino acid, lysin, that helps your brain process things faster and with more efficiency. It’s only about dark chocolate, though, because lysin is found in cocoa beans.
– Here’s a simple exercise that will fill your brain with oxygen and let you feel a rush of energy. Exhale all the air from your lungs and hold your breath for as long as you can. When you can’t hold it any longer, breathe in powerfully and repeat. The influx of air into your lungs will send oxygen to the tissues, and your blood will start pumping faster.
– Just don’t forget to check out the link to today’s video sponsor down in the description box. It’ll take you to University of the People, where a great brain-training journey awaits!

#curiousfacts #interestingfacts #brightside

SUMMARY:
– Flamingoes are born gray. But their feathers turn pink later on because of a natural pink dye!
– Each BIC pen has two tiny holes in it to keep the air pressure equal outside and inside.
– Snails have anywhere from 1,000 to 14,000 tiny sharp teeth.
– In Canada, you can legally pay for your purchases in coins featuring Superman.
– It took Erno Rubik, the creator of the famous cube, a staggering one month to solve it!
– Stripes serve as camouflage for tigers, effectively hiding them from other animals. But the most curious thing is that tigers have not only striped fur, but striped skin as well.
– In the past, men’s dress shirt collars were detachable. It helped people save money on laundry costs.
– Sunsets on Mars are blue, which has to do with the Martian air – or rather with the fine dust floating in it.
– Bringing one leg up to their body helps birds keep warm when it’s chilly outside.
– The northern leopard frog is the scariest creature: it swallows prey with the help of its eyes! This amphibian can press its eyes deep down into its mouth, and this movement helps the frog to swallow.
– Researchers have discovered that one cloud can weigh more than 1 million pounds!
– In Singapore, you’ll find the world’s tallest vending machine where you can buy… a car!
– You can’t bring your pooch along if you travel to Antarctica. Since April 1994, all dogs have been banned from this continent because they could infect seals with diseases that they aren’t immune to.
– You don’t sneeze in your sleep, simply because your brain shuts down this reflex while you’re slumbering.
– The brain is the fattiest organ in your body because it’s composed of approximately 60% fat!
– Super powerful earthquakes can make days shorter, because they move the spin of the Earth’s axis!
– Yellow is the color that is the easiest to spot, even in the darkness. That’s why taxis and school buses are mostly this shade.
– However unbelievable it may sound, a cat’s purr starts in its brain! And only after that, the brain sends orders to a cat’s throat muscles, which then start to make 25 to 150 vibrations a second!
– Don’t take the assumption that light travels at the speed of, well, light, for granted. The slowest light ever moved at only 38 miles per hour!
