That’s Why Airplanes Seem Spacious (But They Are Not)



Psychological tricks to make you feel at home in the cabin? Pilots and flight attendants hiding their own secrets from passengers? Whoopie cushions left on the seats in economy class? Well maybe not that, but what other mysteries are you unaware of each time you step onboard? Did you know, for example, that flight attendants assess you as you're boarding the plane? They have to figure out if you're going to be a safety concern on the flight. Are you still hungry after your meal? Ask for an extra portion, and if it's available, you'll get it! Ever experienced such a hard landing that you jump in your seat and go white? There are some conditions when a gentle touchdown is outright dangerous… Other videos you might like:

You lose up to 30% of your ability to taste sweet 8:02 #planes #aviation #brightside SUMMARY:
– An extra seat behind the pilot and the co-pilot in the cockpit isn't reserved for special VIP passengers. It's for flight attendants during take-off or landing and for inspectors who monitor the flight. – The situation when both engines fail at the same time is almost unheard of, but even if something like that did happen, a plane wouldn't drop from the sky like a rock. – Modern planes have special systems that detect other aircraft, mountains, and unexpected solid objects in their path.
– There are some conditions when a gentle touchdown is outright dangerous. The most common situation when a plane must touch down firmly is when the runway is wet.
– Airlines are going to address the dreaded middle-seat problem pretty soon. A new design has already been developed, and new chairs will be available shortly.
– Co-pilots are totally capable of flying a plane, and they do it regularly!
– Flight attendants have the same problems with jet lag as you do. – Airplane manufacturers use a special trick to make the cabin look bigger and more spacious. For example, the walls have a particular structure that reflects light.
– Passengers are also happier when their airplane has a wider entrance, and its lighting is brighter. – When turbulence occurs, it affects the front and rear parts of the cabin the most. – Deploying an emergency slide when there's no emergency is a very bad idea.
– If you want to be a pilot, be prepared for endless tests and examinations. – Pilots are very careful with what they say and how they deliver it. You'll never hear them announcing anything dramatic, like "fail" or "malfunction."
– Some airlines skip particular row numbers because they’re considered unlucky in certain cultures.
– If you’re in a window seat, you can notice the way the airplane wings flex. – The way the cabin is pressurized has a big effect on your taste buds: you lose up to 30% of your ability to taste sweet and salty things. – The first airline to offer its customers online check-in was Alaska Airlines, and it happened in 1999!

Why Bathroom Doors Open Inward And 15 Other Secrets



The bathroom is your personal sanctuary, the place where you have lots of time to wonder. Like, why’s it called the John? Why not the Charlie? Are the blow hand dryers really better than paper? Why does the door in public restrooms always open inward? Have you ever thought of why some public bathrooms tell you not to flush the toilet paper? Or why public toilet seats are shaped like a U? Or if the plumbing is underground, how can wind affect the water in your commode? So many questions. Let's try to answer them! Other videos you might like:

Why are toilets made of porcelain? 7:49
Why do American toilets have so much water in them? 8:20
Why do your legs fall asleep when you sit on the toilet? 8:56 #toilet #bathroom #brightside SUMMARY:
– When you use a hand dryer, it can blow bacteria around you – even though the air coming from it is perfectly clean!
– Even though toilet paper is supposed to break down when it gets wet, there’s still a possibility of clogging if the plumbing system isn’t new or if you use too much of it. – The “open-flush” toilets in public restrooms don’t have a lid to block all the germy microscopic droplets that come spewing out with each flush. – The gap on the front of the seat that makes it look like a horseshoe is there because of plumbing codes. Since 1995, all public toilets must have this open seat.
– Bacteria and viruses are tiny enough to easily soak in through the paper the covers are made of. – You can find toilet paper in different colors on the market. But most manufacturers bleach it to make it softer. – No one knows for sure, but some think that this name appeared back in the 16th century when Sir John Harrington invented Britain’s first flushing toilet.
– In many homes, there’s a vent pipe that goes outside to the roof. When the wind blows hard above that pipe, the air pressure in it is lowered.
– Most American toilets use a syphonic system, which forcibly draws toilet water down the drain. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

Why Airplanes Make Hard Landings on Purpose



Billions of people board a plane each year. Most passengers are completely unaware of a few things every pilot knows. Like if you should really panic when the plane starts rocking, the landing isn’t exactly as smooth as butter, or everyone in the cockpit fell asleep! Btw, that last one isn't a joke. Pilots sleep on the job! Imagine your cab driver falling asleep at the wheel! Good thing planes aren’t taxies because pilots do it all the time. Of course, it’s not that unusual for a pilot to wake up from their nap and realize that their co-pilot nodded off as well! This is less okay when it comes to regulations but still isn't as dangerous as it sounds. Other videos you might like:

19 Surprising Things Pilots Do Onboard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zzj1Tr2-R0k TIMESTAMPS:
Many delays are caused by overscheduling 0:23
Pilots will lie about mechanical delays 1:06
Engine failure is pretty common 1:49
Flatulence isn’t as scary as it sounds either 2:35
Lightning strikes are also mostly harmless 3:23
Most hard landings are done on purpose 4:04
Pilots sleep on the job! 4:50
Airplanes are germ magnets 5:31
Morning flights are the smoothest 6:28
Pilots get their own special meals 7:01
Pilots and co-pilots are equals 7:40
Becoming a pilot is expensive 8:29 #planes #aviation #brightside SUMMARY:
– Every airport has a limited number of planes that can land or take off each hour. It’s usually around 60 landings or takeoffs per runway.
– The pilots don't always know how long repairs are going to take. When asked, they will usually give an amount of time that's longer than they think it’ll take.
– Instead of saying “engine failure” or “stopped working,” pilots will hide it with euphemisms like "improper functionality." – Even severe turbulence isn't going to knock your plane out of the sky, but it can still throw you from your seat. – The material in a plane’s fuselage is designed to direct electricity away. – Harder landings allow planes to stop quickly without the pilots needing to slam on the breaks or risk overshooting the terminal.
– Even if no one in your row is coughing or sneezing, you might not be in the clear.
– Any pilot will tell you that early morning flights are your best bet if you want to avoid heavy turbulence. – The pilot doesn't eat the same things as their passengers, but this is more of a safety precaution than a perk of the job.
– The pilot and co-pilot are both equally responsible for the safety of the flight, and they're both equally equipped to handle any situation that might crop up.
– Perspective commercial pilots first need to earn a bachelor's degree then choose a flight school. You can end up spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on training and certification. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

Open Window While Working on Laptop And 23 Little-Known Tips



You're working on something important when out of nowhere comes the “low battery” notification. You speed up, and… the screen goes black. You didn't finish and can only hope it saved the progress. Sounds like you could use some ways to make your laptop battery last longer! How about to change the background? Yes, a beach picture as your wallpaper can warm up your heart on cold days. But its vibrancy comes at a cost, and that cost is your battery. Or you can keep it cool. When it's too hot or too cold, your laptop can’t work as efficiently, so it wastes energy. It does better in cooler air than the heat, as long as it’s not freezing cold. Or… But enough with the spoilers! Other videos you might like:

– When it's too hot or too cold, your laptop can’t work as efficiently, so it wastes energy. – Any laptop can handle a certain number of charge cycles in its lifetime, typically around 500.
– USB sticks, an external hard drive, webcam, wireless mouse, external keyboard, and other peripherals are all powered by your motherboard. Even when you aren’t using them, they take away precious energy.
– Check what apps run in the background and consume the most power, even when you aren’t using them.
– Change your settings to leave all the updates for when you're plugged in. – Your email and your social networking accounts love your attention, and they use notifications to grab it.
– Whenever you’re plugged into a power outlet, update your system if there’s a chance. – A solid-state drive runs on flash memory that takes less battery to function than a usual hard drive. – You can disable graphics accelerators in energy-saving settings. – Even a small mismatch in wattage can overload and damage both the laptop and the battery. – An external battery pack will be your guarantee you won’t lose any important data or get stuck without a laptop when you need it.

Park Your Car Facing East in Winter, and You’ll Never Be Late



Winter is coming, and it's time to prepare yourself AND your car for this tricky season. If you're lucky enough to live in the south where your wipers never get frozen to the windshield, it's one thing. But if you're not that lucky you sometimes have to spend hours digging my car out of snow! Well, it’s good there're have some useful tricks! Do you know, for example, how to recognize black ice? Or how not to waste tons of time in the morning trying to defrost and warm up your car? Or why you should never pour warm water onto the windshield? Wanna save yourself quite a bit of time and effort in the winter months? Check out these tips! Other videos you might like:

What if you ended up in a snowbank 2:02
Black ice 3:07
Park your car in a particular way 4:55
Defrosting your car 5:38 #drivingtips #drivinghacks #brightside SUMMARY:
– If the tires aren't inflated well enough, you'll waste more fuel for each mile you travel.
– When your gas tank is almost empty, some condensation may form inside and, later, freeze in your fuel lines. And one morning, your car just won't start! – Black ice gets formed when the temperature drops down to 32 degrees F and below, and at the same time, it's raining. – Black ice can also form because of a slight difference in temperatures.
– But (surprise-surprise!) black ice isn't actually black. It got such a nickname because when a thin layer of clear ice appears on the road, it looks shiny black. – If you didn't manage to identify black ice in time and hit a patch of it, do NOT slam the brakes or start to steer your car. It may lead to a crash.
– Try to stay calm (I know, I know!) and slow down naturally by taking your foot off the accelerator.
– Make sure that you leave your car with its front facing the east. This way, the rising sun will warm your vehicle, melting all the frost and ice from the windshield in the process. – Mix two-thirds of isopropyl with one-third of water and pour this liquid into a spray bottle. Then dig your car out of the snowdrift that has formed overnight and spray the solution on the windshield. – Or you can prevent your windshield from getting frozen altogether! If you leave your car outside, cover the windshield with an old sheet, a towel, a tarp, or whatnot. – But whatever you do, do NOT pour warm water onto the windshield. If the difference in temperatures between the water and the air outside is too big, this hot-water-pouring trick is likely to leave you with several cracks on the windshield! – Never save on windshield washer fluid! If you run out of washer fluid somewhere along the way, your visibility will drop, which will mean DANGER!

Don’t Leave a Laptop in a Car, This Might Happen



So, did you know that almost all laptops tend to work best when the temperature is from 50 to 95°F? Any colder or hotter, and your gadget starts to wig out. The thing is that laptop lithium-ion batteries are notorious for NOT being heat-friendly. Even if you leave your device in a hot place only a few times, you risk ruining it beyond repair! By the way, the battery isn't the only thing that can get harmed when you abandon your laptop in a hot car. Any hard drive consists of delicate and fragile components; and when the materials they're made of get heated, they tend to expand, which means permanent damage or even failure of the hard drive. How to avoid such dramatic consequences? Other videos you might like:

How to avoid permanent damage 2:17

No cats! 4:19
How to clean the screen 5:51 #laptop #gadgets #brightside SUMMARY:
– Under too high temperatures, the negatively and positively charged ions inside this type of battery start to move faster than usual. – The newest laptops can easily deal with much harsher conditions and temperatures.
– Any hard drive consists of delicate and fragile components; and when the materials they're made of get heated, they tend to expand, which means permanent damage or even failure of the hard drive. – If you want your computer to serve you longer, don't let it run out of juice completely – better charge it more frequently. – Every time my fluffy companion cuddled on my computer’s warm keyboard, a substantial amount of his fur got into the system's fans. By the way, that was another reason my laptop used to overheat.
– Сleaning the screen with liquids tends to damage it. Any liquid, even the most natural cleaner, can lead to corrosion once it gets on the screen. – When your computer is on and running a program that needs access to the hard drive, you should leave your gadget be. – Don't transport it, don't move it from one place to another – it’s best to not touch it altogether. Otherwise, your impatience may cost you some lost data.
– By the way, laptops also don't take kindly to being shaken. So, avoid using your computer while riding a motorcycle, running away from people (it could happen), or traveling in the back of a car.

18 Things Even the Politest Taxi Driver Won’t Tell You About



If you use taxi services often enough, you might know that taxi drivers have secrets they don't tell their passengers about. For example, if an airport taxi driver assumes that you're a tourist, they may decide to give you a sightseeing tour you haven't asked for. Some taxi drivers can start the meter not when you climb into their car, but as soon as they arrive to pick you up. So let's figure out what things you should pay attention to while getting into a car, why you should check your valuables before leaving a taxi, and why it often takes taxi drivers so long to pick you up.

Taxi drivers can manipulate GPS settings 6:32
A taxi driver may not have a license 6:47
Why taxi drivers take a while before picking you up 7:14
They can charge per person 7:40 #taxi #transport #brightside SUMMARY:
– Most modern taxis already have POSs, but there are still a lot of cars that don't. In these vehicles, people have to pay cash.
– It might not work in all countries, but in some places, taxis have a panic button hidden under their dashboards. – If there are some obstacles preventing them from going directly to your destination, for example, heavy traffic or some construction works, some taxi drivers may leave you several blocks away.
– According to this unwritten rule, the only person in the car who can start talking is you, the passenger. – If you need to make several stops before arriving at your final destination, discuss it with your driver.
– Before starting your trip, make sure that the meter has the correct settings. Taxi companies can have different prices for certain parts of the day and night. – You should not only sneak a peek at the meter at the beginning of your trip but also watch it throughout the ride.
– Don't let your valuables lie around during a taxi trip. Before leaving the car, make sure that you haven't left anything on the seat. – It's totally dishonest, but there are taxi drivers who tell you an estimate they know to be too low only to make you pick their car. – A fixed price often turns out higher than it would be with a meter. One of the few valid reasons for negotiating a fixed price is being short on cash. – Taxi drivers can manipulate GPS settings. It allows them to take longer routes and earn more money. – Keep in mind that a taxi driver has to have their license displayed inside the car at all times. – Most passengers don't know that many taxi drivers pick up a new ride before finishing their current one.
– Even though it's almost unheard of in most parts of the world, some taxi drivers can try to charge per person. Watch out for such cases and call the taxi company to make sure you aren't being fooled. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

What Happens When You Flush the Airplane Toilet



Everybody knows that a plane is airtight! Every crevice is sealed to keep the cabin pressurized. Because otherwise, none of us would be able to breathe this high up in such thin air. But what about all those movies showing holes in the fuselage ripping passengers right out of the plane in the blink of an eye?! So when you flush the toilet, you open that hole, creating an opportunity for the pressure difference to eject the contents…right? Well, even if you were somehow pulled through that tiny hole, you wouldn’t get spit out of the plane. When you flush the toilet on an airliner, the contents don’t just get sprayed across the Earth for everyone down below to have to deal with. That would be gross, harmful for people and the planet…and illegal! Other videos you might like:

How plane toilets work 3:48
What are these warning signs for? 6:28
The only place that could spit you out the back of the airplane 7:30 #planes #howitworks #brightside SUMMARY:
– Even if you were somehow pulled through that tiny hole, you wouldn’t get spit out of the plane, spaghettified or not. – That’s not to say airplanes don’t decorate the landscape with sewage these days…only now it’s purely by accident. – But if you got pulled through the toilet, you wouldn’t end up hurdling toward the ground – you’d just go to that onboard holding tank that keeps all the waste until it can be emptied. – The onboard lavatory system does make smart use of the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the plane. And that’s why it’s so loud when you flush.
– When you flush the toilet, it opens a sort of flap. Because high pressure will always go where its lower when given the chance, the immense air pressure in the cabin pushes whatever’s in the toilet down to the holding tank.
– Even at breakneck speeds, the suction isn’t enough to pull you through. It’s not even enough to push the compressed air out of the lavatory itself since there are vents to the room, and the doors aren’t airtight.
– It also isn’t enough to suction you to the toilet seat if you happened to be sitting on it when you flush. Technically, it could if you somehow managed to create a perfect seal.
– Well if you can’t get pulled through or suction-cupped to the seat, then why are there these warning signs telling you to close the lid before you flush? – For one, it’s deafeningly loud and disturbs other passengers. But more importantly, it’s something you should do even at home because of what’s called “toilet plume.”
– If there’s one place that’ll spit you out the back of the airplane, it’d be the tap system! – Weight and expense also play a role in why that water shuts off so quickly while you’re washing your hands. – So, I guess if I could shrink myself down to the size of an earring, I could get washed down the drain, shot out the back of the plane, and, once again, be freefalling back down to Earth.
