Put the Seat Down When You Flush, Here’s Why



You’re at home, scrolling through the feed, watching some videos, when the power suddenly goes out! No big deal, the phone’s still working until the battery runs out. But sooner or later, you’ll wonder… why won’t the toilet flush with the electricity out? It’s not like commodes are plugged into an outlet right there in the bathroom wall. When you push the flush handle, a large flow of water rushes from the tank into the bowl. It works just by the force of gravity if your house has a gravity-fed waste removal system. While gravity is always at our service (unless your toilet’s in space), there’s one problem with no power: the tank doesn’t get filled! Actually, the way your plumbing works depends on your water source and where you live. For example, the plumbing system in high-rises is so complicated, there are even legends about it. One of them says, if all the toilets were flushed at the same time, it could take down the building! Let's figure out how a toilet works and what kind of toilet myths there are. #brightside EPISODES:

What Would Happen If a Huge Anaconda Swallows You



Can an anaconda swallow a human? Let's say you're walking through the tropical Amazon rainforest. All of a sudden, you spot a log blocking your way. You come up to this huge branch and try to step over it… but it starts moving! To your horror, you realize it's the most enormous snake you've ever seen – the green anaconda! So, you're the “lucky” one to see the heaviest and one of the longest snakes in the world! The reptile looks to be at least three times longer than you and at least twice heavier! The only panicky thought in your mind is, "Is this monster going to swallow me whole?!" You're trying to retreat as fast and quietly as possible. It doesn't help, though. You don't produce any sound, but snakes don't care – they have no ears. These reptiles perceive vibrations. And then, the snake lunges at you! Several horror-filled moments – and a massive snake as thick as an adult's arm is coiling around you… Let's try to figure out what does it feel like to be swallowed by such a huge snake! #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

One Man Saved Passengers After the Plane Disappeared



It was Friday, February 19th, 1937. A Stinson airplane was traveling from Brisbane’s Archerfield Aerodrome to Sydney. There were 7 people on board – 5 passengers and 2 pilots. Along the way, the plane was meant to pick up some passengers in Lismore, but it never arrived. The official search centered around Newcastle and the Hawkesbury River, hundreds of miles south, where some people said they saw or heard the plane. The authorities took a statement from the postmaster in Hawkesbury. He said he’d heard the plane pass overhead just after 5 in the evening on the day it disappeared. Since he knew a lot about the aircraft, the authorities were convinced by his statement. But others believed something else. Some of them saw the blue and red Stinson plane vanishing into the clouds. After days of searching, nothing was found. At this point, a bushman called Bernard O’Reilly decided to take matters into his own hands… #brightside

Always Pack Luggage This Way To Travel Easier (When It’s Allowed)



Airports are the starting point of most of our trips. Traveling is fun and exciting, especially if everything goes smoothly and quickly. If getting through airport security and passport control turns into a hectic experience, it can truly ruin the whole trip. However, with proper preparation and a little planning ,there're many ways to get through the airport fast.  For example, did you know that all the powders in your luggage should be kept in original packing – otherwise they may look suspicious and raise questions among airport security officers. Also, it's useful to pack a tennis ball in your carry-on. It'll be a very good massage for your feet tired from a long flight.  Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz
