Every now and then, you get stuck in traffic. So what do you do? You stare blankly at your windshield, right. And you probably notice the little black dots around the edges. Ever wondered what those are for? But black dots aren’t the only part of your car that might have you wondering, “What on Earth is that for?” Since you’re still looking at your windshield, did you notice that little line with an arrow pointing down and AS1 written on it? Or what about the black lines going across the back window and that little snowflake on your dashboard? Let's figure out! Other videos you might like:

– The dots come out of the black band that goes around the window. That band is called the frit. It's the ceramic paint that protects the sealant holding your windshield in place. – They make a nice gradient transition from the black frit to the clear window. This gradient is also a safety feature.
– The black dots are there to even out the heat and minimize optical distortion. Without them, the windshield would deform. – Those black dots above the rearview mirror have another important function: they help protect your eyes from the sun while you're driving. – AS1 means that the glass should let in no less than 75% of the light. The line and arrow mean “from this point and downward.” S
– Have you ever noticed a little snowflake light up on your dashboard? This is the Frost or Freeze Warning, and it lights up automatically to inform you that the temperature outside has dropped so much that the roads are likely to freeze. – Gas tank locator tells you which side the tank is on! By the way, there are no strict regulations as to which side the tank should be on.
– Drowsiness detector does exactly what it says: if the car “feels” that you’ve been on the road for too long or you keep slowly drifting out of your lane, then this indicator will come on.
– When sensors decide your vehicle is about to spin out or isn't turning far enough, a little skidding car icon lights up on the dashboard.
– The original purpose of ceiling handles was to help you get in and out of the car. – In most mini-vans and some crossover SUVs, you can pull down a convex mirror from a special compartment in front of your rearview mirror. It helps you keep an eye on the kids, pets, or just passengers in the back seats without taking your eyes off the road for a second longer than needed.

Why In-Flight Maps Show Sunken Ships
Hey, here’s a fun fact to tell your family around the dinner table: there are about 3 million shipwrecks in oceans all over the world! Ok, don’t lead with that one… But did you know why certain airlines show their location on the in-flight map! That seems a little odd, so why would they do it? First of all, we should always remember these events because they affected so many lives and likely changed the course of history! Plus, some ships not only have historical value but ecological importance too! If a vessel is under the water long enough to turn into a reef, the area can become rich with biodiversity, thus warranting protection. Other videos you might like:

โ Why only 1% of shipwrecks have been explored 7:58 #ships #shipwrecks #brightside SUMMARY:
– Belitung Island lies in Indonesia, and a fisherman happened to stumble upon this gold mine! This ship went down in history for carrying the most massive gold cup ever discovered.
– SS Central America sank near the coast of the Carolinas because of a hurricane in 1857, but it wasn’t found until 1988. All the recovered gold was valued between $100-150 million.
– The first-ever sunken ship expedition on record was found by Greek divers in 1900. It was filled with glass, pottery, and statues. – Many of the passengers on board the Titanic were incredibly wealthy people. The collection of gold, silver, diamonds, and pricey artifacts it carried surpass the $300-million mark.
– The Whydah Gally sank in 1717 but wasn’t discovered until 1984. Precious artifacts are still being recovered, and they include jewelry, cannons, and coins.
– The Atocha went down off the coast of the Florida Keys in 1622.

Why Buses Open Doors on Railroad Tracks
Before it became law, school buses didn’t have to open their doors at railroads. Sure, they stopped to check for an oncoming train. But when visibility is low, say, in fog or during a snowstorm, that method can prove dangerously ineffective. Everything changed in the 1930s, but the situation still wasn’t ideal. Originally, a student was assigned as a “lookout” during each ride. They’d get off the bus once it stopped and look both ways down the railroad crossing. This continued until it was decided that it was too big a responsibility put on these young volunteers’ shoulders. Other videos you might like:

Why is the roof painted white? 2:47
Why are the windows tinted? 3:16
Why is the steering wheel so massive? 3:36
Why don’t they have seatbelts? 4:14
๐ The most fascinating bus facts ๐ 4:51 #buses #schoolbus #brightside SUMMARY:
– It all comes down to safety and lessons learned. By opening the door AND their side window, a bus driver is better able to hear if a train is coming. – Besides coming to a full stop 5 to 15 feet before the crossing (plus opening the door and window), bus drivers must turn off anything that creates distracting sounds, including the radio and fans.
– White reflects the sun’s heat better, so it keeps the inside of the bus 10° cooler. – The dark tint of the windows blocks a lot of sunlight from getting in, and it retains interior heat in the winter!
– Most buses don’t have power steering. This system normally helps the driver use less force to turn the wheels. Buses don’t have it because there’s always the risk that it could fail. – So far, 8 have passed laws requiring school buses to have seatbelts. Occasionally, individual school districts have the freedom to decide whether to implement them.
– There are currently about 427,000 school buses in America alone! – If you’ve ever dreamed of owning your own big yellow bus, you can go to eBay now and purchase one for about $3,000. – An average school bus can reach a max of 65 mph (although local speed limit laws for them are usually much lower!).
– The largest bus in the world is the Neoplan Jumbocruiser. They stopped production in 1992, but the jumbo-sized coach didn’t disappoint!
– The first buses were pretty much horse-drawn farm wagons in the late 1800s. The carriage was labeled “Public School” and it transported children that lived far away. (Most kids still walked to school at that time.)
– According to the American School Bus Council, buses save an estimated $7.7 billion every year! – Buses also help our environment. If every child in a community rode the bus to school, it would save more than 2 billion gallons of fuel! – One education report found that students who rode the bus were much less likely to miss school.
– There are perks to being a school bus driver! On field trips, they’re sometimes gifted free entrance to those destinations. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

Why There Is a Leap Day in February
Have you ever wondered where leap years come from? Where do they get those extra hours that add up to a whole day? And what if you’re born on a leap day? A year is the period of time it takes the Earth to make a full circle around the Sun. The most accurate calculations say that our planet finishes its rotation after 365 days, 5 hours, and 48 minutes. Each year, 5 hours and 48 minutes are uncounted, and when 4 years pass, these hours and minutes add up to an extra day. But the calculations weren't always so exact. Other videos you might like:

How the leap day was initially introduced 0:47
Why the leap day was added to the end of February 1:27
Why astronomers cut down the number of leap years 2:08
Why do they call it "leap" in English? 2:58
Famous people who were born on a leap day 3:29
Consolations for the Unfortunates Born on the 29th of February 4:04 Rituals and traditions linked with the leap year 5:30 #leapyear #astronomy #brightside SUMMARY:
– During the reign of Julius Caesar, the Roman calendar consisted of only 355 days. Every 2 years they would add an extra month of 22 days to it. – The year with an extra day was called “Bis Sextus” which means “the second sixth” in Latin. – In ancient Rome, they celebrated the New year on March 1, which is why they added the leap day to the end of February.
– Astronomers noticed that the spring equinox happened much earlier than March 21 – the date put in the calendar.
– Clearly it was necessary to correct the Julian calendar, and in 1582, Pope Gregory XIII did so by having astronomers cut down the number of leap years.
– If you happened to be born on a leap day, you overcame the odds of 1 in 1461. – In the 18th century, a famous German moralist wrote an essay called “Consolations for the Unfortunates Born on the 29th of February”. He suggested a detailed scheme of how they should celebrate their birthday each year.
– In the 19th century, an interesting marriage tradition became popular. Usually, men had to kneel down on one knee to propose to a woman. But in a leap year, women could propose to men.
– Leap years were also chosen to hold one of the main global sports events – the Olympic games.
– If you get a fixed salary each year, you'll get stiffed in a leap year. You just have to work one day for free! Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

– Snails have anywhere from 1,000 to 14,000 tiny sharp teeth.
– In Canada, you can legally pay for your purchases in coins featuring Superman. – It took Erno Rubik, the creator of the famous cube, a staggering one month to solve it! – Stripes serve as camouflage for tigers, effectively hiding them from other animals. But the most curious thing is that tigers have not only striped fur, but striped skin as well.
– In the past, men's dress shirt collars were detachable. It helped people save money on laundry costs.
– Sunsets on Mars are blue, which has to do with the Martian air – or rather with the fine dust floating in it. – Bringing one leg up to their body helps birds keep warm when it's chilly outside. – The northern leopard frog is the scariest creature: it swallows prey with the help of its eyes! This amphibian can press its eyes deep down into its mouth, and this movement helps the frog to swallow.
– Researchers have discovered that one cloud can weigh more than 1 million pounds! – In Singapore, you'll find the world's tallest vending machine where you can buy… a car!
– You can't bring your pooch along if you travel to Antarctica.

– Yellow is the color that is the easiest to spot, even in the darkness. That's why taxis and school buses are mostly this shade. – However unbelievable it may sound, a cat’s purr starts in its brain! And only after that, the brain sends orders to a cat's throat muscles, which then start to make 25 to 150 vibrations a second!
– Don't take the assumption that light travels at the speed of, well, light, for granted. The slowest light ever moved at only 38 miles per hour! Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

I Did Murph Workout for 30 Days, Here’s How My Body Changed
A Crossfit workout consists of much more intense circuit training, which focuses on the whole body instead of just one part. If you've ever visited the gym regularly, then you know that some days are “leg” days, others are “arm” days and so on. With Crossfit, you use almost every muscle you have during each session. A 1-mile run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 300 squats, and a 1-mile run again. That's what the Murph workout consists of. Sound tough? Absolutely! But that's the reason why I decided to do it for 30 days in a row. Challenge accepted! Other videos you might like:

Day 21. The turning point 5:52
Day 30. Did I achieve my goal? 6:29
My results ๐ช 6:54 #crossfit #MurphWorkout #brightside SUMMARY:
– If I were a fitness noob, I’d never even think about going through this challenge. Because it can be dangerous for your health. – Don’t work out on an empty stomach. Your body needs fuel for a good performance.
– Don’t try to sprint the first mile. It’s your warm-up, so don’t waste all your energy on it.
– Don’t forget about breaks. Have a 30-second rest between reps. Halfway through the workout, take 3-4 minutes to wipe off the sweat and drink some water. – Being in pretty good shape, running the first mile was easy peasy. After that, I went through 20 sets that consisted of 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, and 15 squats each.
– I realized that I forgot about one important thing – stretching. As you probably know, it helps with post-workout soreness.
– I guess I could say that the first week went smooth. I mean, of course, I still felt unbelievably exhausted after each session. But I was happy that I wasn’t tempted to give up.
– Halfway through my ordeal, I noticed the first changes in my body. You see, I work at the office and must wear shirts and ties. And when I put on my favorite shirt after the workout, I realized it was too tight on me.
– The beginning of the third week was the turning point in my challenge. I guess my body was just mad at me because I put it through such strenuous training without a single day of rest. – The last workout was the most satisfying one I’ve ever had. The pain and tiredness didn’t even bother me. I guess I can chalk this up as a victory. – I got way stronger. Also, my body became more defined. Especially the lats on my back! I didn’t take measurements, but I’m pretty sure my back got wider. – But the most important changes were in my mind. I can’t remember the last time I was this proud of myself.
– I’m so grateful for this difficult but rewarding experience that I decided to trade in my gym membership for the Murph workout every day. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

14 Unbeatable Records No One Is Able to Repeat
People are fascinating, it seems like we can’t tolerate any boundaries. We love to push the limits somehow. This striving for the extraordinary makes a few of us look for records to break. But some world records seem to be unbeatable! Some are just impossible to surpass, while others you wouldn’t even want to challenge as they’re simply too weird. One 69-year-old woman from South Korea, became a local celebrity and symbol of perseverance. All she did was pass a driving test. On her 960th try. Unfortunately, it doesn’t always feel good to be a record holder. Charles Osborne learned it the hard way, since he was the man who had hiccups for 68 years straight and without any relief… Other videos you might like:

– On March 12, 2006, an F2 rated tornado blew away a trailer house of 19-year-old Matt Suter. Yet the record wasn’t set there but 1,307 ft away where Matt found himself almost absolutely unharmed a couple of minutes later.
– There aren’t many daredevils out there who would try to beat a record Tom Bagnall set on his jet-propelled go-kart. In 2018, the British engineer sped up to 112 mph in a small car that is in no way suited for such speed. – It would be great if no one would have to fight with an 80 ft high wave with nothing at their side but a surfboard. This is what Rodrigo Koxa, a Brazilian surfer, did in November of 2018 in Nazare, Portugal.
– But the record for the most dice stacked on a cat’s paw belongs to LC Siew and his loyal cat Bibi from Malaysia, and was set on June 18, 2017. – What do you think a priest could do in his spare time? For a Canadian pastor of St Paul’s Lutheran Church Kevin Fast, it’s tugging enormous vehicles using nothing more than the power of his own muscles. – Radhakant Bajpai – the man with the longest ear hairs. According to him, he used to tell to people around him that his hair would one day become a great achievement. – Charles Osborne's hiccups first started in 1922, when he was 29-years-old. His hiccups were also quite frequent – 40 times per minute, and were only reduced when he was lucky enough to fall asleep, although he still hiccupped 20 times per minute.
– Rolf Buchholz started adding body modifications when he was only a kid with small tattoos and piercing. Now he is 59 years old and has whopping 516 body modifications total.
– Adam Hegyi is one of the best Doom players – the game that gave new life to speedrunning. In 1998 he became the one to fully go through level called Phobos Anomaly on highest difficulty without any hacks or glitches used. – Throughout the history of traditional sports, there was never a boxer who would’ve beaten legendary American boxer Archie Moore in a number of knockouts. He was able to do 131 KOs in his career! – Rocky Marciano is the 6th greatest heavyweight boxer of all time and the only boxer in history who wasn’t ever defeated. He fought 49 times and won them all with 43 knockouts. – On November 24th, 1960 famous basketball player Wilt Chamberlain did the impossible: 55 rebounds in a single game – his Philadelphia Warriors versus Boston Celtics.

Never Use Your Phone When Pumping Gas
The average person spends about 4 hours a day on their phone. That means in a single week, our eyes are glued to the screen for over an entire day! While there’s nothing wrong with a little screen time every now and then, there are some places where your phone should stay in your pocket… Have you ever been texting your friends as you got in the car and forgot you left your coffee on the roof? Imagine something like that, and you might have an idea why so many gas stations have signs up warning customers to stay off their phones as they’re pumping gas. Also, some people believe the device can shoot out radio waves or sparks and catch the gas on fire? Let's find out if that's true! Other videos you might like:

Can your phone shoot out sparks? ๐ฎ 0:32
What if you damaged a nozzle? 1:01
Mobile phones on aircraft 2:52
Why it was a major concern in the 1990s 4:02
Smartphone use in hospitals 6:53 #smartphones #staysafe #brightside SUMMARY:
– They put these signs up to keep distracted drivers from pulling away from the pump with the nozzle still attached! When that happens, you risk gas leaking out all over the place, and then there’s the chance of it lighting up.
– Fortunately, this isn’t as much of a threat as it perhaps used to be. Most modern gas pumps feature breakaway nozzles that will seal the pump if they’re pulled on too hard. ]
– Either way, the driver, or at least their insurance company, is still responsible for any equipment they break. If the driver’s lucky, they’ll only need to pay for the breakaway mechanism to be replaced. – Most airlines require you to switch your phone to airplane mode. The signals produced by wireless devices can interfere with the plane’s electronics.
– This phone interference isn’t too much of a problem anymore thanks to modern technology, but it was a major concern in the 1990s. – Devices from that era were notorious for their ability to interfere with nearby electronics, and that was a risk airlines weren’t willing to take.
– There’s also the issue of radio waves interfering with a plane’s communications. Again, it’s nothing too dramatic.
– The third reason why you’re asked to turn off your phone on the plane has to do with your wireless carrier.
– Cell towers were designed around some basic assumption about where their users are going to be located. Thousands of feet in the air close to the speed of sound was not one of them. – The good news is, these risks are all fairly remote, and there’s never been a major accident caused by someone using their phone on a plane.
– Studies have shown that electronic devices can tamper with some of the more sensitive hospital equipment. – The scientists concluded that 3 ft was far enough away to be safe. Although, they do recommend keeping mobile phones out of the room entirely just to be on the super safe side!

How Fluoroscopy (X-Ray) Works
A hundred years ago an opportunity to literally look through a person would seem crazy to scientists and doctors. In fact, the father of X-rays, German physicist Wilhelm Roentgen, discovered them by accident. But when he was offered to patent his invention, he burst out laughing. He was skeptical about X-rays as he saw no sphere where they could be used. Despite his own attitude towards his discovery, it made a sensation in the scientific community, and the units to measure the amount of X-rays were named after him — Roentgen.

How safe are X-rays? 5:36
The greatest source of radiation 6:22
The most unusual area where X-rays are used 7:23 #howitworks #xray #brightside SUMMARY:
– Negatively charged electrons that come off the cathode gain speed and bump into the positively charged anode, where they have to pull up sharp. As a result of this, there appears an X-ray.
– The harder the material is, the slower they will move. That’s why human bones slow down X-rays much more than soft tissues that are 70% water.
– In fact, X-ray pictures are photo negatives, that’s why lighter spots are called “shadows”.
– On November 8, 1895, Roentgen stayed in his laboratory till late at night. When he was going to leave and turned off the light and all the devices he noticed that a bottle with transparent liquid in one of the corners of the laboratory started shining with a green light. – He got interested in an unusual effect and started researching his casual discovery. – His hand also got under the strange ray. What Roentgen saw shocked him – he saw the shade of his hand’s bones! He literally was looking through his hand.
– When he was offered to patent his invention, he burst out laughing. He was skeptical about X-rays as he saw no sphere where they could be used. – He was the first scientist in history to receive a Nobel prize in physics but he never patented his invention and granted it to people. – More than a hundred years have passed since X-rays were discovered in 1895, but it is still considered one of the most serious breakthroughs in medicine.
– It was not until the second half of the 20th century that X-ray technology was considered not totally safe as it exposes you to radiation. Its effect is different in different body parts.
– The dose of stomach and intestine X-rays is equal to what you can get in 3 years of your common life.
– The Sun is the greatest source of radiation that tries to get to us from space. – The most unusual area where X-rays are used now is expert evaluation of the authenticity of art pieces. This method was used for the first time 70 years ago and is still the most reliable one.
– X-rays are now widely used in archeology too. When they found scrolls in Pompeii, they were so fragile that any attempt to unfold them would ruin them forever.
– But X-rays helped to read the text written inside the scrolls without unfolding them! Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz
