Village Where One Wrong Step Could Mean Falling Over a Cliff



Hundreds of thousands of years ago, rivers of volcanic lava rushed through what is now Spain. With time, they turned to rock and formed a crag over the abyss. Back in the Middle Ages, someone decided to build a village on that basaltic rock between the rivers Fluvia and Toronell. They named it Castellfollit de la Roca, and this is one of the strangest places in the world. You can see it from the distance, and from sunset till midnight, the cliffs are illuminated, making it look even more like a mysterious medieval castle. The village is shorter than a mile and is made up of narrow shadowy streets and little squares that all blend into one main artery. Most of the buildings here are made of the same material as the pedestal the village stands on – it’s all volcanic rocks. The place is so tightly pressed it feels like one wrong step, and you’d fall into the abyss… #brightside TIMESTAMPS:

What If Jeep-Sized Spiders Appeared on Earth



The biggest spider people know about is the South American Goliath birdeater. This puppy-sized arachnid usually has a foot-long leg span. Its body is the size of a large fist, and its weight is more than 6 ounces. When the creature's moving, it makes bizarre, eerie sounds. They're the clicking of the spider's feet. They have hardened tips that hit the ground like a horse's hooves – just not as loud. This spider is one of the most dangerous creatures in the world. It protects itself by sending out clouds of hairs that have microscopic barbs on them. If they got in your eyes and nose, they'd be super painful and itchy. These hairs would also stay there for hours or even days. That sounds extremely unsettling. But imagine what our planet would look like if spiders were the size of jeeps! Yeah, the world occupied by giant arachnids would bw a dark and gloomy place… #brightside The biggest spider in the world 0:26

20+ Rarest Body Features You May Have and Your Friends Not



Each person is unique – sometimes more than we think. Even though we all have the same number of limbs and similar features, some small details make everyone an X-Man of sorts. Today we'll tell you about exceptional physical skills and characteristics found in only a tiny percentage of people around the world. Perhaps you possess some of these rare body features too? For example, less than 50 people have ever had the Rh-null blood type, dubbed "golden blood." Three percent of people all over the planet have lines creating the letter X on both their hands. There are people who don't have to stress over how much calcium they consume. They have a rare mutation in the LRP5 gene. Another gene mutation helps people keep their bad cholesterol levels extremely low. Unfortunately, only 2 to 3% of people have this useful feature. #brightside TIMESTAMPS:

20+ Clothing Mistakes That Ruin a Man’s Look



Contrary to popular belief, men are no less interested in fashion than women and they spend even more money on clothing than ladies do.

What If Your Mind Stopped Growing at 3 Years



How does the human brain develop? At birth, it's only a quarter of the size of an adult’s. A baby has 50 trillion neural connections, while a fully-developed person has 500 trillion. These are the synaptic pathways responsible for how we act and think. Yes, you are simply your brain, and it’s just a hunk of electricity controlling the machine that is your body! But what would happen if after birth, the human body continued to grow normally, but the maximum level of cognition we could reach were equal to that of a 3-year-old? It’s between 3 and 5 years old when personality starts to develop. With the brain development stopped at a 3-year-old’s level, we would have very different personalities than we do now. And we’d more than likely live.. in trees! #brightside TIMESTAMPS:

45 Facts About the Planets More Surprising than Sci-Fi



What's happening right above our heads, in Space? Space is a vacuum, which means it contains almost nothing, but it's not completely empty. It's where all of the asteroids, comets, planets, stars and galaxies are found. And they're so remote and mesmerizing at the same time. What do we know about them? For example, did you know that Venus has shield volcanoes, widespread lava flows and some unusual volcanoes called pancake domes which are not present on Earth?! Also it rains sulphuric acid on Venus, while on Jupiter one can witness diamond rains! What a precious planet! Preview photo credit:

Astronomers Saw a Signal of Life on Venus in Its Clouds



Venus has more volcanoes than any other planet in the Solar System – more than 1,600! An extreme greenhouse effect warms the planet's surface up to 870˚F – hot enough to melt lead. Winds there reach the speed of 450 miles per hour in the middle cloud layer — faster than the speediest tornadoes on our planet. The pressure on Venus’s surface is 90 times higher than that at sea level on Earth. And recently, this incredible place has become even more intriguing. In the toxic Venusian atmosphere, there's something that might mean the existence of life! In 2017, a group of scientists from Cardiff University started to use the James Clerk Maxwell radio telescope in Hawaii. The main idea was to search for phosphine gas – it would be a sign of life on Venus. When the data came back, and the researchers analyzed it, they were shocked and even checked the results several times! So if you've always wondered if there's life on other planets, check this out. #brightside TIMESTAMPS:
