What do a kitchen plunger, a potato, and your old socks have in common? They can all work magic for your vehicle if you know how to use them. And cleaning your trunk can help you save gas! Yup, the heavier your vehicle is, the more gas it uses. Do you know that you can use your car mat to get out of a snow trap? Or how to use a damp newspaper to remove bumper sticker marks? Or why you should keep your car’s remote control separate from your keys? By the way, this is more common sense than anything. But no more spoilers! Let's get down to it! Other videos you might like:

15 Defensive Driving Secrets That Can Save Your Life https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UnqOmbR2qNs& TIMESTAMPS:
Protect yourself from polluted air when stuck in traffic 0:24
Clean your trunk to save some gas 0:45
Use dishwashing liquid to remove grease off windows 1:05
Protect yourself from glaring sun 1:25
Get rid of pet hair with static electricity 1:40
Put socks on your windshield wipers 2:05
Use your car mat to get out of a snow trap 2:32
Release some air from your tires to get unstuck from the snow 2:54
Pin your car on your GPS app to remember where you parked 3:15
Use a damp newspaper to remove bumper sticker marks 3:36
Get out of mud or sand 4:05

Use a kitchen plunger for dents 5:01
Remove rust with Coke 5:20
Use cooking spray to avoid freezing 5:45
Keep your car’s remote control separate from your keys 6:08
Don’t start the car right away in the winter 6:31
Use the arrow by the fuel icon on the dashboard wisely 6:54 #cars #drivingtips #brightside SUMMARY:
– The recirculation recirculates the air inside your car, shutting off the airflow from the outside. In the summertime, you can also do it to keep the inside air cool and refreshing. – The heavier your vehicle is, the more gas it uses. The engine has to burn through more of it keep the car moving. – Dishwashing liquid can be a good and cheap way to clean your car windows and windshield. – If your pet often travels with you and leaves its hair as souvenirs all over your car, you know how hard it can be to get rid of it. Just put on a latex glove and rub your hand against the seats and carpets.
– In the winter months your wiper blades often freeze to your windshield overnight. Just put your old socks on wipers as you leave your car in the evening.
– If you ‘re stuck and can’t just dig yourself out with a shovel, try using your car mats, sand, salt, kitty litter, or cardboard. – In case the car mat doesn’t help, try deflating the tires a bit. This will help increase the service area of the tires and again, get them more traction.
– Wet a newspaper with warm water, apply it to the damp area and let it stick to the car. Then, leave it on for about 10 minutes, so that water gets in contact with the glue on the sticker or sticker mark.
– When your windows fog from the inside, it makes driving pretty dangerous. Luckily, a humble potato can come to your rescue! Take a clean and raw one, cut it in half and rub one half on the windows from the inside. It will clean them and also create a protective layer to prevent fogging.
– Plungers are actually pretty useful outside of kitchens and bathrooms. For example, you can use a cup plunger to fix small and medium-sized dents in your car. – Spray the rusty surface with coke, and then use a brush or a toothbrush if the area is small to break it up. Apply and scrub as necessary.
– Most modern car alarms have a built-in system to prevent car theft, effectively locking everything in your car if you use it.
– When the frost is extreme, it can be really harmful to your car battery if you don’t warm it up first. Just turn your headlights on for a little bit and then turn on the car engine. – There is a little arrow by the fuel icon on your dashboard that tells you which side the tank is on!

They’ve Found Black Holes in the Atlantic Ocean
The world ocean covers more than 70% of the Earth’s surface, contains 97% of its water, and is filled to the brim with mysteries. Bright red tides, sound anomalies, bizarre creatures lurking in the ocean’s depths. One of these enigmas stands out among the rest: are there indeed black holes in the Atlantic Ocean? A black hole has such an enormous gravitational pull that once something gets pulled in, it doesn't have any chance to escape. Even light can’t get out of a black hole. Ocean “black holes” seem to be as powerful as their space relatives. But what do they do? Other videos you might like:

Underwater Waterfalls 3:22
The Bloop Sound 4:16
Black Holes in the Ocean 5:13
Brinicles 7:03
Underwater Crop Circles 8:17 #blackhole #brightside #ocean SUMMARY:
– During a red tide, a gallon of seawater can contain millions of algae, which is extremely dangerous for birds, marine animals, and even us, people! Red algae can mess with breathing, and eating fish and shellfish caught in the red tide can lead to bad food poisoning! – Milky Sea Phenomenon mostly happens in the Indian Ocean’s waters. Scientists haven't agreed yet about the source of the enigmatic glow. The most popular idea, though, is that the ocean starts to gleam when countless glow-in-the-dark bacteria gather in one place.
– You’re more likely to see green flashes at sunset than at sunrise. They appear when the atmosphere bends sunlight, passing through it, and separates it in different colors, just like a prism splits the light into tiny rainbows. – Frost smoke, sea smoke, steam fog – this phenomenon has many names. On a cold day, you can see the ocean literally smoking! It has nothing to do with fire though. – The world’s biggest waterfall is actually underwater c (however confusing it may sound). The Denmark Strait Cataract – that’s the name of this mind-boggling phenomenon – lies beneath the Denmark Strait that separates Greenland and Denmark. – For the first (and only) time, the Bloop was recorded in 1997. This minute-long, low-frequency sound was coming from the southern coast of Chile, and it was so deafeningly loud that underwater microphones as far as 3,000 miles away could hear it.
– Ocean eddies are massive whirlpools that are spinning against the main current. They usually swirl billions of tons of water, and most of them are larger than a city. – Remember icicles hanging from your house’s roof gutter on a sunny winter day? Now, imagine the same icicle but with length measuring not in inches but in feet and made not from rainwater but from super-salty seawater called brine.
– For the first time, underwater crop circles were spotted in 1995 close to Japan’s southern coast. Imagine the researchers’ surprise when it turned out to be a male pufferfish! A male is swimming inside the circle digging valleys in the sand with its fins. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

The Truth About Airplane Mode and 20 Myths About Your Phone
Once upon a time, in a little town, there lived a boy who dried his mobile phone with a hairdryer and never put it in airplane mode before take-off. People told him to stop, but he wouldn’t listen. So the passengers duck-taped him to the wing outside, and he had a very windy flight and lousy reception. Okay, maybe not the duck tape thing. But let’s check out some common beliefs about smartphones, and see if they’re appropriate or bogus… Have you ever heard, for example, that smartphones are a source of radiation? And this is true, but it’s a kind of electromagnetic radiation that is completely safe for humans. And no, you can't cook an egg between two ringing phones – that's just an urban myth. You'd need about 7,000 phones to just warm up the egg a tiny bit. 😜 Other videos you might like:

12 Mistakes You Make When Charging Your Phone https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prZR1PkVjng&
Don't Charge Your Phone to 100%, Here's Why https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_hj-LYfvCfg& TIMESTAMPS:
Drain your battery completely before you recharge it 0:33
Your phone is safe without a screen protector 1:02
You can dry a wet phone with a hair dryer 1:30
If hairdryer is too hot, just drop the phone in a bag of rice 1:53
Charging overnight is bad for your phone 2:20
Closing background apps is a sure way to save battery 2:45
The more megapixels, the better the photos 3:11
Don’t keep your phone next to a credit card 3:41
Using free public Wi-Fi is a chancy business 4:05
4G eats more data than 3G 4:41
A fast charger can damage your phone 5:05
The more RAM, the better the phone is 5:37
4K display is what you absolutely need on your phone 6:10
Smartphones are a source of radiation 6:35
You can't use your smartphone when it's charging 7:02
Phones charge faster in airplane mode 7:26
Your gadget can really interfere with plane systems 7:51
If you take out your SIM card, no one will ever find you 8:16
Plastic-based smartphones are the worst 8:37
The only safe charger is the original one 9:00
Automatic brightness mode is a sure way to save battery 9:24 #smartphones #gadgets #brightside SUMMARY:
– Batteries used in phones about ten years ago really lasted longer if you dropped them to zero before plugging in the phone. – First generation touchscreen smartphones needed outside protection from scratches, chips and cracks. Today, phone screens are strong enough on their own. – Technically, you can dry your phone with a hairdryer. But you don’t really want to because it will overheat your gadget. – When you leave one app and start using a different one, the first one is stored in RAM to reopen in exactly the same condition you left it.
– The myth goes that the card will demagnetize if you keep it close to a smartphone. In truth, your smartphone’s magnetic field isn’t nearly strong enough for that.
– If you need to save battery, you might wanna keep it on 3G unless you have to download something quicker. – Fast chargers send more electricity to your phone and so it’s full of juice again in half the regular time or even quicker.
– A phone with 4 or even 3 GB with a powerful processor works fast enough to let you switch from app to app and do other things. – If you think someone might ever want to track your location, they'll be able to do it even if you take the SIM card out. – Unless you go for a one-dollar knock-off, quality third party chargers and cables are totally safe for your smartphone.
– Dimming your screen does help save some charge. But that whole automatic brightness mode is brought to you by a light sensor that’s probably going to spend even more power on collecting and analyzing data about the surroundings to pick the right light level.

Measure Your Healthy Portion in 5 Sec with Your Hand
Getting in shape and staying there can be a real challenge. The internet is just full of crash diets and 15-minute workouts that promise to change your life forever, but very few can deliver on their promises. So what if I told you that you had everything you need right there at the end of your wrists? For example, to make sure you're eating just the right amount of proteins, hold your hand over the meat, eggs, or cottage cheese you are about to eat. If it looks like you could hold all the proteins in the palm of your hand, then you're good to chow down. But what about other nutrients? Other videos you might like:

What about cheese? 2:27
Fruit 3:41
Juices and smoothies 4:27
Desserts 5:08
What you eat is also important 6:29 #food #sugar #brightside SUMMARY:
– You need a lot of protein compared to other nutrients, but many protein-rich foods are also very high in calories.
– If it looks like you could hold all the proteins in the palm of your hand, then you're good to chow down.
– Next time you're serving yourself pasta or fried rice, make a fist. Punching the food isn't going to make it lower in carbs, but it can help you figure out just how much is a healthy portion.
– As a rule, you shouldn’t load more on your plate than you can fit in the palms of your hands. – Depending on who you ask, the average American eats between 31 and 35 pounds of cheese every year. – The human body needs to eat very little fat every day. While it is hard to say no to a few good slices of buttered toast, the piece of butter should never be bigger than the tip of your pointer finger.
– Fruit are rich in vitamin C, which helps your immune system and has a variety of other health benefits.
– Many fruits and vegetables are also high in fiber, which helps to lower cholesterol and improve digestion.
– The amount of fruit you should eat is going to vary from person to person, but unless you have high blood sugar, more is usually better.
– It's also good to remember that juices and smoothies aren't the same things as fresh fruit and vegetables. – Since desserts are packed with sugar, fat, and other less than healthy things, you're going to want to limit how much of it you eat.
– So, go ahead and ball your fist as you did with the bread and pasta. – As a rule, you shouldn’t eat any sweets that are bigger than your thumb. – Now, portion control is a big part of staying trim, but what you eat is just as important as how much. – Red meat is full of protein, iron, and magnesium, all of which your body needs to stay strong and healthy. – Instead of butter, sprinkle some almonds in your popcorn to liven it up.
– Almonds are full of healthy fats that will satisfy your hunger without clogging your arteries or padding your waistline.
– One pound of ground turkey contains more protein than a pound of beef and less than a third of the calories. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

23 Ordinary Things With Unusual Hidden Uses
A backpack, iPhone, keyboard, a jet pack – well maybe not a jet-pack — but hey, you use these things every day! Still they might not be as straightforward as you think! Lots of ordinary objects have secret features that unlock their FULL potential! For example, have you ever used those flimsy, ribbed ketchup containers they have at fast-food restaurants? You probably wondered why they don't make them a bit bigger. What most people don't know, though, is that those ribs should be pulled outward – thanks to this trick, the container can house way more sauce! Interested?

– The very first wooden hangers were made from cedar, which is an effective natural insect repellant. The smell scared off moths and saved clothes. – If the elevator doors get stuck, an operator can open them manually by inserting a special key in the hole. – Being trapped in a car, you can use the headrest's metal prods to break the window and get out. – Colorful plastic tags on bags of bread indicate when the loaf was baked. – Palpable lines on the F and J keys help those who type without looking at the keyboard to position their hands correctly.
– Lots of toothpastes have blue, red, and white stripes. Such coloring isn't mere aesthetics (although it does look quite cheerful) – all the stripes have their own ingredients and purposes.
– When your knife gets blunt, break off the top section with the cap you can find at the bottom – voila, you have a brand-new sharp blade again!
– Not every iPhone owner pays attention to an almost unnoticeable little hole between the camera and the flash. It's the gadget's second microphone. – If you don't have a hanger nearby, inspect your shirt for a small loop on the back.
– When you're cooking something in the pan, the hole in the handle is there to hold your messy spoon or spatula! Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

Why Trains Can’t Go Uphill
Hey! You ready for the ride of your life? You'll climb on board the first, the fastest, and the most luxurious trains out there. Along the way, you'll find out why trains can't go uphill and how some go without wheels! But are you sure you’re ready? We’ll board a couple of ghost trains! Empty trains travel around the UK all the time. They pass through stations that have long been abandoned. So, why not close them? Well, you're about to find out. By the way, do you know anything about a train, which wasn't destined to reach its destination? The most famous ghost train ever! According to rumors, this train didn't just vanish – it passed through time and space… Other videos you might like:

Norry bamboo train 7:24 #trains #travel #brightside SUMMARY:
– Horses and people were used instead of an engine. Later, they started connecting trolleys with each other for greater efficiency.
– The first steam engine train. Thick sooty smoke pours from it. You ride at a measly speed of about 30 mph. – You transfer to a comfortable modern train, and it’s one of the fastest types in existence – Maglev.
– You're sitting on a soft chair as the train travels so quietly and smoothly that you wouldn’t even know you’re currently moving about 268 mph. – We’ve arrived in Edinburgh. You go to a special station to catch an equally special train. In the restaurant, you'll be served local dishes of the region you’re currently passing through.
– We’re in England, at the railway station in the small town of Snaith. There are no ticket machines, no ticket offices, not even taxi parking. – Tracks and train wheels are steel. There's very little friction between these smooth steel parts. It's less than between your car’s rubber tire and the road, in fact! – As soon as the train rises uphill, its weight distribution changes, the frictional force weakens, and the wheels begin to spin in place. It can go up an elevation of only 2°.
– You, along with 250,000 other daily commuters, enter the Stockholm Central Station. And this station is extraordinary: it recycles all those people’s body heat! – Japan. You arrive at the station with pinpoint accuracy. Seriously, the average delay time is under a minute for the entire year!]-
– Cambodia. If you love adventure, then you'll appreciate a ride on the Norry bamboo train. People gather wide bamboo slabs and lay them on a square frame with wheels. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

What If You Flushed Toilets with Saltwater
With fresh water being so hot an issue today, you would think people should save every drop of the precious liquid. But then you flush your toilet and realize you’ve just spent several gallons of clear water only to get rid of your waste. Why can’t we use saltwater instead, for example? How’s that saving the planet? We have literal oceans of the stuff, and we can barely find any use for it. Well, there’s a huge trouble with salty water in the sewage system. You see, salt is hard. If you simply send tons of water from the oceans into the plumbing and sewers, several things will happen quite soon… Other videos you might like:

– The modern sewage system works with the help of water that carries waste to the disposal plants. – Water is perfect for this kind of activity as it keeps the waste afloat and pushes it through the pipes.
– The sludge gets some special treatment to make it usable as a fertilizer. – The water above the sludge, in its turn, becomes rather clear to the eye, but don’t let that fool you: it has billions of microscopic dirt particles in it that only wait to infect you if you have a drink. – In any case, the water gets biologically purified and is almost ready to go back where it came from, meaning seas and oceans.
– The most popular method of finishing clean is treating the water with a disinfectant, such as chlorine.
– Another way to purify the water involves pushing it through a special treatment tank, or a humus tank, where even the tiniest particles and bacteria get stuck in the filtering matter, while the water freely runs onwards.
– If you’ve ever swum in the sea, you know that if you lick your skin, it’ll be salty to taste. And if you leave it to dry in the sun, you’ll also notice a thin smattering of white on your skin. – The same applies to almost any surface saltwater might touch. – The resulting wastewater will not be able to return to the oceans just like that, or be used for other purposes, for that matter.
– Bacteria spread in the water and munch on everything harmful they can find around. With saltwater, such a system won’t cut it.
– That doesn’t mean we can’t use sea water at all, though. We are, in fact, using it already, and have been for quite some time.
– here are several desalination plants sprinkled across the globe that work hard to convert sea water into fresh one. – The existing desalination method is not perfect, of course, but it’s proven its efficiency. You can even drink the water after it has been devoid of salt! – In rural areas and smaller towns where people live in their own homes, composting toilets are the best possible solution. They don’t need any water at all, collecting all you have to throw inside them with quiet dignity and then dumping it into the soil, making it richer.

Why Asians Like Brands So Much
In the last few decades, the Asian world has turned from rather conservative views towards more European-style attitude. For example, South Korea is one great example of that shift: K-pop, bright clothes, dyed hair and much more have become a thing in this country, and in many ways they are trendsetters of the world fashion. Asian countries and people are so very different from each other, but there’s one thing they totally have in common: their incredible style. And not just that, but also the high cost of their clothes and accessories. Turns out there’s a secret behind it! Wanna know it? Other videos you might like:

Who buys the most 6:50 #brightside #asians #luxury SUMMARY:
– When it gets to high end clothing, that’s where the East beats everyone else. In China, for instance, getting yourself a handbag or a pair of shoes from a famous luxury brand is almost a must.
– It all started when people from Asia began traveling to Europe and the US several decades ago. – In Japan about 90% of women have an authentic Gucci or Louis Vuitton bag… that they only carry for a single special occasion.
– Neither are luxury goods cheaper in Asia. It’s just that people buy them either spending most of their salaries or using instalment plans. – When a luxury brand that’s never been there before opens a store in Japan, its products get swept from the shelves and hangers like there’s a tornado.
– Japan is, in fact, leading the march for luxury goods worldwide. They even have package tours to Paris during the sales season.
– But what’s the most surprising about this is that most Asians don’t even like the things they buy.
– In the individualistic western world, having a luxury item makes you stand out because not many people have them or can afford them. In the collectivist East, it’s the other way around.
– Public polls have shown that people who own a luxury item don’t even like it more often than not — they simply don’t want to be the black sheep.
– In modern Asia, you can basically buy yourself a way to the top layers of the society — something that would be unthinkable just half a century ago.
– This purchasing trend is also not limited to any class or gender. In China, for instance, luxury items are bought almost in equal proportions by men and women. – People might spend their whole salary for a shirt or a watch, even if it means cutting on everything else for a whole month, including food.
