What Would Happen To Your Body, If You Dare To Touch The Most Poisonous Plant



What's the most dangerous sting in the world? A giant bee, a cobra, black widow or a scorpion? All of these stings will be stressful but a doctor will help you out and you'll recover. But there's a sting you'll hardly forget and won't fully recover after. It's good to know what it is and never have to face it in real life. It's a sting of the most dangerous plant in the world. It grows in Australia and has a pretty funny name: Gympie-Gympie. It can be easily confused with nettle or burdock. And this plant is covered with a thin layer of fluff on its leaves. But don't fall into this trap and touch the fluff – it's extremely toxic! One man said he felt pain for two years after touching the plant. Let's find out more about it! #brightside TIMESTAMPS

If you remove the gas mask 02:35
The poison 04:17
Creatures that feed on it 05:48
The most poisonous tree 06:56
The king among toxic plants 08:47 SUMMARY – The most dangerous plant looks absolutely unremarkable;
– Just being near this plant can cause choking and coughing. Your eyes will start watering;
– Gympie-Gympie only grows in particular areas in Australia;
– This plant grows on the edge of the forest, next to streams;
– The only thing that can help identify Gympie-Gympie is a thin layer of fluff covering its leaves;
– People compare this feeling to the sting of 30 wasps simultaneously;
– The Gympie-Gympie is one of the six species of stinging trees native to Australia;
– Nocturnal beetles can eat Gympie-Gympie non-stop – and they don't care about its poisonous hairs at all;
– Never stand near a Manchineel tree – the trunk, bark, branches, and fruit contain toxic juice.
– Touching giant hogweed can cause a severe allergic reaction, burning sensations. Animation is created by Bright Side.

You’ve Been Sleeping the Wrong Way Your Entire Life



What's your favorite sleeping position? Do you love sleeping on your stomach? What if your sleeping position is the reason for the cricks in your neck and back stiffness? You wake up in the morning and have a feeling you hardly slept last night. Correct sleeping position and the right pillow can fix this and you'll feel how you're supposed to after a good night's sleep: refreshed and full of energy. It turns out, the best sleeping positions for your neck are on your side and on your back. When you're sleeping on your back, you're distributing your weight evenly and your spine stays uncurved. But if you prefer sleeping on your side, never get a pillow that's too high or too stiff. Let's find out, why it might be a problem… #brightside TIMESTAMPS

You Heard It Your Whole Life but It’s a Myth



We've all seen it in a cartoon: turtles pop out of their shells whenever they like and walk around without their 'costume'. But does it really happen this way? It turns out to be a common myth we've believed in! It's like saying that people live inside their own skin. A turtle's shell doesn't serve as a costume and it's not a separate space… What other myths about animals did we perceive as truth and common knowledge? How about a test? I give you these 13 funny facts about animals and you can decide if it's truth or myth. Let's see how many of these myths will be debunked… #brightside TIMESTAMPS
Zebra stripes 00:00
Are bats blind? 01:10
Are lobsters monogamous 01:40
Toads and warts 02:23
Do turtles live in shells? 02:48
Koalas' fingerprints 03:47
Ostriches in sand 04:57
Goldfish memory 05:37
Colorblind pets 06:35
How sharks breathe 07:17
Sea otters "hold hands" 08:00
Bird nestling 08:38 SUMMARY
– Stripes on each zebra form a unique pattern, so it's impossible to find 2 zebras that are exactly the same;
– Being "blind as a bat" is a figure of speech, and it comes from the assumption that bats cannot see properly;
– Lobsters aren't monogamous at all. Dominant male lobsters mate with several females;
– There are no amphibians that can give you warts but shaking hands with another human who has them can;
– Although turtles can tuck their limbs inside for protection, it's actually an integral part of the turtle's anatomy;
– If you compare a human fingerprint to a koala's, you'd hardly be able to tell the difference even under a microscope;
– Ostriches don't stick their heads in the sand when threatened. In fact, these guys don't bury their heads whatsoever;
– Multiple studies have proven that goldfish can remember things for several months, if not more;
– Studies revealed that both dogs and cats can see in green and blue;
– According to a popular misbelief, sharks can breathe only while moving because swimming helps them push water over their gills;
– Scientists suggest that sea otters developed this cute habit to stay close with their mating partners;
– Parent birds don't recognize their younglings by smell. Animation is created by Bright Side.

Obscure Phenomena That Einstein Turned Into Major Discoveries



Can a "grain of pollen" change the world? One might think it's too tiny for an object that can bring any changes whatsoever. But that's exactly what happened: a grain of pollen managed to change the world as it was part of a huge discovery. Back in 1827 a botanist was studying the pollination of plants when he noticed something strange going on under his microscope. What was it and why did it get the name of "Brownian motion"? Here're some of the unexplained oddities that Einstein turned into major discoveries. We all know that Albert Einstein was a prominent scientist but he managed to build breakthrough theories out of overlooked phenomena others could hardly find explanation to. Let's get to know them… #brightside TIMESTAMPS
