If you live in the West, you probably have only a passing familiarity with the geographically small but economically powerful nation of Japan. It's the country that brought us PlayStations, anime, and tiny cars. But there are a lot of surprising quirks of Japanese culture most westerners aren't familiar with. When you think of driving on the left side of the road, which country do you think of? If you live in Europe or North America, jolly old England comes to mind. India, Australia, and South Africa are also reasonable guesses. These countries, and most of the others with left-side driving, were once part of the British empire, so it's no wonder they inherited the UK's driving habits. But Japan was never part of the British Empire, so why they drive on the right? Other videos you might like:

Animation is created by Bright Side. SUMMARY:
– It turns out that while Japan was never a dominion of Her Majesty, British companies were responsible for building Japan's first railways in the 1870s. They brought their lane preference with them. – Kit-Kat sounds almost exactly like the common Japanese phrase Kitto Katsu. This translates to "You will surely win," and is the cultural equivalent of an English speaker saying, “good luck.” Nestlé was quick to seize on the luckiest bit of free advertising in history, leading the Kit-Kat to become the most popular chocolate bar in Japan.
– Finding out that KFC is considered a traditional Christmas dinner in Japan might come as a shock to some people. Customers will line up around the block and to-go orders must be made months in advance to guarantee they’ll be enough to go around. – Japan became the sole holder of an imperial title following the collapse of the Ethiopian monarchy in 1974. While the Emperor no longer wields direct power, he continues to hold a position of extreme cultural importance as both head of state and of spiritual traditions. In addition to being the last Empire standing, Japan's Yamato dynasty is the oldest royal family in the world, allegedly dating all the way back to the year 660 BC.
– While plenty of Japanese vending machines sell traditional snack foods, the sky’s the limit as far as automated sales are concerned. This includes neat but relatively reasonable things such as fresh fruit and hot coffee, as well as oddities such as clothing, shoes, umbrellas, surgical masks, and even cassette tapes.
– While most of the Japanese companies you've heard of are sprawling multinationals with multibillion-dollar incomes, huge corporations actually represent a tiny fraction of the local market. With small and medium-sized businesses dominating Japan's economy, most workplaces don't have the resources to update their technology regularly.

More Why Japan Has Left-Hand Traffic Videos

It’s been said that a person swallows about eight spiders in their sleep every year. It's hard to say if that story is true or not but it makes a kind of sense. Spiders like warm dark places and the inside of your mouth sure fits that description. Gross as it sounds, if the story’s true, it seems to be mostly harmless. But what if it wasn’t? What if you swallowed a spider that wasn’t just venomous, but the most toxic spider in the world? Let's find out! But please, please, don’t try this at home. Do not eat live venomous spiders!

If a beetle gets bitten 7:11 #spiders #whatif #brightside SUMMARY:
– This hairy little monster is known as the Sydney funnel-web spider, or “Atrax robustus” if you want to show off.
– The Sydney funnel-web can hold its breath for over a day, in some cases surviving underwater for up to thirty hours. – Atrax really don’t like to be handled, and their fangs are large and powerful enough to punch a hole in your fingernail. – The Atrax’s venom is a special kind of nasty, attacking its prey's nervous system. Symptoms will begin within minutes as the neurotoxin starts shorting out your nerves. – After being bitten, your heart will start beating rapidly as your blood pressure spikes through the roof. This is followed by breathing trouble, muscle spasms, and numbness around the mouth.
– Finally, the venom begins to attack the brain, causing disorientation and eventually loss of consciousness. In as little as fifteen minutes after the initial bite…
– You're in for anywhere from two to twelve injections depending on the severity of your symptoms. – Anyway, let’s say you managed to wrangle a Sydney funnel-web into your mouth without getting bitten. What happens then?
– For the record, something is poisonous if you get sick from eating it, and venomous if you get sick from being bitten. There may be a lot of venomous spiders, but no one’s ever found one that’s poisonous. – Venom is dangerous if it gets in your blood, but harmless if swallowed; although I have no idea why or how anyone would end up doing so.
– It turns out, most mammals are entirely immune to the Atrax’s venom. Only invertebrates and primates are vulnerable, anything else gets off with the equivalent of a bee sting. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More What If You Swallowed the Most Venomous Spider Videos

Blue glaciers are a trademark of Iceland, a Northern country, 11% of whose territory is covered with ice. But glaciers have started to disappear, and there’s a possibility that soon, they’ll vanish altogether. Okjokull glacier was formed about 700 years ago. In 1901, it stretched for 15 square miles and had a depth of 165 feet. It now takes up less than half a square mile and is only 50 feet deep. It took a century for the huge glacier to turn into a small piece of ice; and in 2014, the glacier stopped moving and was officially considered extinct. And a similar occurrence has happened all around the world. Other videos you might like:

– Okjokull lost its prefix “jokul” which means “glacier” in Icelandic, and they started calling it Ok, after the volcano on which it sits. – A geologist from Iceland, Oddur Sigurdsson, predicted the quick disappearance of glaciers as far back as 10 years ago. 56 of 330 small glaciers have disappeared in the Northern part of Iceland already, but Okjokull was the biggest of them all. – A similar occurrence has happened all around the world. Glaciers now cover about 10% of the Earth's surface, but are quickly melting because the average temperature on Earth has been steadily rising. – Pedersen Glacier, located in Kenai Fjords National Park, receded throughout the 20th century, exposing Pedersen Spit and Pedersen Lagoon. There are almost no traces of the glacier left now.
– Carroll glacier used to be 15 miles long, but little of it is left now. A calm lake, touching the base of a small hill, is in its place. The snow that used to lie on top of the hills and lakeshores also melted, and now everything is green. – The territory, which is mostly green now, used to be covered with a thick layer of ice and snow a hundred years ago. Muir Glacier can hardly be recognized now after the glacier sunk back about 12.5 miles. – The vast icy expanses of Muir glacier have turned into a huge lake. There used to be no plants here because of the low temperatures, but after the glacier melted, the valley bloomed and filled with ocean water, creating Muir Inlet. – Toboggan Glacier used to cover a large territory, but less than a hundred years later, it’d thinned by 492 ft. It was a dull gray landscape before, but by the year 2000, brushwood had covered the slopes of the hills.
– Greenland is #2 on the list of places that are losing their glaciers quickly.
– In just one day, July 31, 2019, Greenland lost 11 billion tons of ice; and 197 billion tons in the whole month of July. This is 3 times higher than ecologists had predicted. – #3 in the list of the fastest melting regions is the Southern Andes, which lost 1.2 trillion tons of glacier ice over half a century.
– Qori Kalis Glacier, in Peru, one of the few tropical glaciers, has been melting for 33 years, and continues to melt at an alarming rate.
– In 2009, Bolivia had to close down the Chacaltaya ski resort. It was situated at a height of between 15,400 and 17,700 feet, and was the highest ski resort in the world. – In 2005 a snowcap on top of Kilimanjaro, Tanzania melted for the first time in 11,000 years. The height of the mountain is 19,350 feet, and it’s never been that warm there. – 9 years ago, NASA started mission IceBridge to observe the polar ice in the Arctic and Antarctic. – This year, they reported that the polar ice sheets are smaller than ever, and the speed of the melting is faster than scientists predicted.

More A New World Melted a 700-year-old Glacier Videos

Picture this: you’re driving on a highway, and suddenly see something you’ve failed to notice earlier: your gas tank is almost empty! You drive to the closest gas station, only to find they have no other gas but 87. Should you pump it inside your car or not? What’s the difference between those numbers? In fact, gasoline can actually be different, and it’s not one type fits all. In the US, the most typical numbers you’ll see are 87, 89, and 92. In other parts of the world, the numbers can vary, but most common ones are 91, 95, and 98. The higher the number value, the higher the cost of the fuel, so it might seem natural to choose the cheapest one and go with it, but it’s not as simple as it sounds. Other videos you might like:

What do these numbers mean? 0:24
If you have an older car, you’re lucky! 1:06
The “knocking” 😱 2:36
Why higher octane fuel costs more 4:44
Ethanol fuel 5:12
The diesel engines! What’s wrong with these guys? 7:12 #cars #drivingtips #brightside SUMMARY:
– It’s a surprising thing to say, but if you have an older car, you’re lucky. That’s because you generally don’t have to care about which type of gas to pump inside your vehicle. – The 87 is a basic type of gas that fits most older cars. 89 is a midgrade octane rating that’s suitable for newer vehicles; and 92 is the premium gasoline that’s mostly required to drive elite and sports cars, but sometimes even new middle-segment automobiles can demand the 92 and nothing below that.
– Manufacturers may require a higher octane fuel because their engines receive more air thanks to supercharging or turbocharging. – More air in the engine means faster ignition, and that can lead to early detonating of the mix. With high-octane fuel, this is usually out of the question, which can’t be said about the low-octane type.
– The damage caused by wrong fuel is not immediate, though. You’ll probably be able to drive for weeks before encountering any trouble.
– In the long run, the cost of repairing the engine will outweigh the fuel economy by far. In addition, the higher the octane rating, the “cleaner” the gas, so it will both help keep your car in a good condition and reduce your emissions.
– Some time ago, however, a new type of gas appeared on the market, and it has a separate label: E10 or E15. The letter E stands for ethanol, while the number indicates its percentage in the fuel — 10 or 15%, respectively. – Ethanol is basically one of the most efficient additives in gasoline. It has a high octane rating by itself (about 109), it’s much safer for the environment, it’s renewable, and it reduces dependence on oil.
– What could happen if you accidentally pump diesel into your gas-powered car? At first, you’ll drive as if nothing’s wrong. That’s because the engine will use up the remains of gasoline in the tank. But as soon as those last few drops are expended, your car will just stop.
– If the opposite happens, however, and you fill your diesel tank with gasoline, things get much worse. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More What Happens If You Put the Wrong Fuel in Your Car Videos

Although modern royal families are way more down-to-earth than their predecessors, there are still a lot of everyday things they never do. Queen Elizabeth II was brought up in a pretty strict environment. As a result, she’s never done a lot of the things you do every day without giving it a second thought! Do you know, for example, that the Queen has never taken a selfie? Yep, unfortunately, royal protocols don't approve of this innocent hobby. Also, she’s never taken a driving test. But that doesn't mean that the Queen can't drive – oh, she CAN and DOES!

Well, it turns out that there’s not one, but several fully valid reasons for not enclosing bathroom stalls! Some of them are obvious, while others turned out to be unexpected. For example, fully-enclosed stalls give visitors a cozy feeling of isolation. They cut out the noise of heavy bathroom traffic, and as a result, people lose the sense of others who're waiting for their turn. They get more relaxed and spend longer on taking care of their business. Also, leaving the gap makes bathrooms easier to clean! Other videos you might like:

Why do most bathroom main entry doors open inwards? 5:17 #factsyouneverknew #brightside SUMMARY:
– If a person loses consciousness or has some other urgent medical condition in a fully enclosed stall, it could take hours until someone notices it. – Space below the stall door helps visitors to see that there’s someone inside, and prevents people from barging in on another person.
– Fully enclosed stalls are more likely to provide you with an unforgettable gag-inducing experience since it isn't so easy to get rid of the smells inside.
– A bit more obvious, and probably one of the most common reasons, is that not fully enclosed bathroom stalls are cheaper! – Psychologically, the less protected and enclosed a person feels, the less likely they are to do something harmful and risky.
– It's next to impossible to get out of a fully-enclosed bathroom stall on your own once the lock jams. – Fully-enclosed stalls give visitors a cozy feeling of isolation. They cut out the noise of heavy bathroom traffic, and as a result, people lose the sense of others who're waiting for their turn. – A custodian can simply run their mop under the doors instead of wasting time on opening and closing each of them.
– Next to many public toilets, there are closets, drinking fountains, and other utilities. And a door that opens outward would cause a lot of inconvenience to those who need to use these amenities. – Also, doors that open inward help to handle unpleasant smells, which aren't rare for public bathrooms.
– A "push-to-enter" door also makes sense if you're going to the bathroom to wash something off your hands. This way, you can use your shoulder to open the bathroom door, and you don't have to touch the door handle.

More Why Doors in Public Toilets Don’t Reach the Floor Videos

The Amazon Rainforest is big news right now as fires continue to consume its lush landscape. It’s essential to our planet’s climate, ecosystem, and more. If we do nothing, the Amazon could be gone within 100 years. What would that mean for us? Well, did you know that a lot of the ingredients in our modern medicines come from the plants of the Amazon? These include the most important medications, such as essential vaccines. Millions of people depend on the Amazon basin for their income. So it would certainly be devastating for South American people. Also, if the fires continue, not only will we lose the huge oxygen source, but extra pollution will be released. And that is not all!

We’d miss out on important medicine 0:24
The economy of South America would be ruined 0:53
The world would lose oxygen 1:20
There’d be a huge loss of wildlife 2:02
It would speed up global climate change 2:36

Is there anything we can do? 8:56 #Amazon #rainforest #brightside Preview photo credit: The Amazon rainforest is becoming increasingly vulnerable to forest fires due to a combination of droughts, climate change and human activities such as deforestation, logging and farming. Known as the lungs of the world, around 20% of the forest has been lost in the last 50 years: By Joao Luiz Bulcao/Polaris/East News, https://www.eastnews.ru/pictures/picture/id/43240303/i/35/t/60 Animation is created by Bright Side. SUMMARY:
– Many of the plants of the Amazon are still being studied today with the hope of finding ingredients that will cure some of our most serious diseases.
– The Amazon Rainforest covers about 40% of South America, covering 8 countries. If it was suddenly gone, a lot of South America’s exports and businesses would disappear with it. – Our planet gets 20% of its oxygen from this Rainforest, due to its massive size.
– Covering just over 2 million square miles, the Amazon is home to 30% of our planet’s wildlife.
– If the Amazon were destroyed, you can kiss your morning joe goodbye, in addition to fruits, rice, and CHOCOLATE, just to name a few.
– In addition to oxygen and medicinal plants, we’d also lose a substantial supplier of minerals, fresh water, and food.
– Science has shown that rainforests, in general, influence the climate both globally and locally.
– Unhealthy soil would add to the disaster: excessive rain + unanchored soil = mudslide. Farmland and homes would be overcome with rain and mud.
– Rural people will be forced into the cities, which are already home to millions. This will cause overcrowding, which comes with its own problems. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz
