Say you’re walking home after having dinner with friends. It’s dark, but you don’t live too far away from the restaurant. Soon, though, you get that creepy feeling that someone is watching you. You see a dark figure walking toward you from an alley. What should you do? First of all, stay calm. It’ll be hard, but don’t let the stranger know that you’ve caught on to them or that you’re nervous. Second of all, stay aware of the stranger and your surroundings but do something that will let you collect your thoughts. And, of course, guys you should definitely know when and how to use your phone! Other videos you might like:

Take different routes 4:08
Never hesitate to call the police 4:34
❗️ Basic safety measures ❗️ 5:17 #safety #survivaltips #brightside SUMMARY:
– If you can get a good look at the stranger, get enough details that you can commit to memory in case you have to give someone, or the police, a description later. – Even if your nerves overcome you and you take a couple of wrong turns, try not to look lost. – If you’re texting, your head is down, and you may not even see a suspicious stranger that’s there in the first place. – It would be tempting, but if you keep glancing behind you, it will let the stranger know that you’re onto them, and this may cause them to attack. – If the stranger decides to come at you, you’ll need to defend yourself. One option is to hold your keys in your pocket with the end of one key’s “teeth” sticking out between your middle and ring finger.
– If you’re walking home and know you’re being followed by a shady character, take out your phone and call a friend or family member.
– Get to a coffee shop, restaurant, or a store as soon as you can. If it’s late at night, don’t worry—there are some grocery stores, pharmacies, and gas stations that are open 24 hours a day. – If you feel like the same shady stranger is making a, um, habit of following you, try taking alternate routes to and from places. This goes for driving and if you’re on foot.
– If the stranger is just too close for comfort, or especially if you’re being repeatedly followed like I mentioned earlier, call whatever the emergency number is where you live. – If you’re walking home, try to take the most public, well-lit route that you can.
– If you’re driving, park under a street light or the most well-lit part of the parking lot.
– Even if home, or the next destination, is a short distance away, don’t make the walk by yourself. Ask a friend, or group of friends, to walk with you, especially after dark. – If a stranger stops you on the street and asks for directions, money, or wants to sell you something, be wary. Keep a good distance between the two of you. – Especially after dark, you don’t want to be standing at your car door fumbling for your keys. This could make you an easy target.
– A good pop to the throat or solar plexus—that place right under the center of the rib cage—will knock the wind out of someone. The nose and eyes are the most sensitive parts of the face. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More What to Do When You See a Suspicious Stranger Videos

We already know about aircraft that travel at supersonic speeds. That’s mind-boggling on its own. But what about a human doing the same? You know, without the plane! One man flew faster than the speed of sound while freefalling 120,000 feet from space. Was it Superman? Well, close but not exactly. Felix Baumgartner is an Austrian Skydiver and a bit of a daredevil. Ever since he was little, he loved heights, and his life-long dream was to become a skydiver. He began working on his goal at the age of 16. His achievements started getting more and more thrilling. He was the first person in the whole world to Cross the English Channel with a pair of carbon wings, and the first person to fly next to an airplane. Other videos you might like:

The Austrian daredevil became the first man to break the sound barrier in a record-shattering freefall jump from the edge of space, organizers said. The 43-year-old leapt from a capsule more than 24 miles (39 kilometers) above the Earth, reaching a speed of 706 miles per hour (1,135 km/h) before opening his red and white parachute and floating down to the New Mexico desert: By AFP PHOTO/ www.redbullcontentpool.com/ Jay Nemeth/EAST NEWS, https://www.eastnews.ru/pictures/picture/id/19975264/i/51/t/89 Animation is created by Bright Side. SUMMARY:
– By 1988, Felix started doing skydiving exhibitions for the well-known company. Even though his job as a skydiver was filled with adrenaline and excitement, it got tiring for Felix at some point.
– In 1999, he achieved his first record for the lowest BASE jump. He leaped from the Hand of the “Christ the Redeemer” statue in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
– Felix transformed from a regular sky-diver into a daredevil. He would parachute from different fixed objects all the way down to the ground. – His most mind-boggling achievement came with the Red Bull Stratos Project on October 14th, 2012. When Felix was 43 years old, he made his life-long dream come to life. – Back in the day, there was another legendary man named Joseph Kittinger. He was an Air Force Command Pilot, and in the 1960s he performed the highest dive in history.
– The speed of sound is calculated by a Mach Number. When something approaches the speed of sound, they get close to the Mach number 1.
– Baumgartner’s team put together an advanced capsule that would operate as Felix’s controlled climate during his ascent to 120,000ft. – His suit was specifically coated to keep his body protected. Since the whole mission was going to be recorded, he was equipped with cameras on both his legs and his helmet. – After extensive training, the record-breaking day had arrived. It was October 14th, 2012. – Baumgartner climbed to 128,100 feet with the high-tech balloon. The sliding doors of the capsule opened, and his most thrilling and terrifying experience began.
– As he was falling, his speed was accelerating, and so was his heartrate. He could see the earth’s curve. He was both amazed and terrified.
– The moment he reached his maximum velocity, he slowed down. He was in a free fall for 4 minutes and 20 seconds before deploying his parachute at 8,200 ft. – His mission was a success, despite the minor difficulties. His excitement for the supersonic fall that broke all the records was indescribable. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More 65 Quick Facts to Make You the Most Interesting Person in The Room Videos

Consider the school bus. It could be painted literally any color: pink, bright green, orange, or even zebra-print. So, why pick yellow? Is it because it’s a cheerful hue that makes kids happy to go to school? See the kid’s faces? The main reason for picking yellow paint for school buses is… safety! If you look at the color closely, you'll notice that instead of being pure yellow, it's a totally different shade! It's a curious mixture of lemon-yellow and orange. But what about the scientifically proved fact that red is the one with the maximum wavelength? It doesn't get scattered easily, and that's why you can clearly see it from afar! On top of that, most people associate this color with caution. So, why not paint school buses red? Other videos you might like:

National School Bus Chrome 3:04
Why aren't school buses equipped with seat belts? 3:48
Chains under school buses 6:16
Why some of the buses have black hoods 7:19 #schoolbus #yellowbus #brightside SUMMARY:
– Despite all the scientific stuff, it’s not red, but yellow, which is the color that instantly grabs your attention in daily life.
– Depending on the season, it's often still dark outside at this time. That's why it makes sense to use yellow paint, which will make buses more noticeable on the road. – Scientists state that you're 1.24 times more likely to spot a yellow object with your peripheral vision than the same object painted red! – But it wasn't always like this! The "National School Bus Glossy Yellow" color didn’t appear until 1939; before that, school buses were painted all kinds of colors.
– Seat belts simply won't make school buses safer! The thing is that traveling on a school bus is a 40 times safer than going somewhere by car. – The seats on a school bus are situated close to each other, and they have high padded backs. As a result, if an accident does happen, and a student gets propelled forward, they’ll only move a short distance. – Adding seat belts would increase the cost of each bus by $8,000 to $15,000! Plus, buses would have fewer seats because seat belts would take additional space. – If a school bus weighs more than 10,000 pounds, it's up to the states to decide whether the vehicles need to be equipped with seat belts or not. – The chains help school buses get traction on icy roads. If the driver realizes that they can't cope without some additional help, they can just press a button on the dashboard.
– When the sun is too bright, the glossy, bright yellow paint covering the hood of the bus starts to give off too much glare. As a result, it makes it hard for the driver to see their surroundings, and distracts them from the situation on the road. – And while some states make school bus manufacturers equip vehicles with black hoods, others forbid it. In this case, they get covered with an anti-glare substance. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More Why School Buses Are Yellow Videos

If you've tried to lose weight, you know about that scale addiction. How discouraging it was when the numbers didn’t move or, even worse, when they grew! Yow! But it might not be you, it might be the scale! (Or the way you weigh yourself, while you’re eating whey.) Do you know, for example, why you shouldn't weigh yourself on Mondays, after a shower, and a workout? Or that your scale can show you the wrong numbers simply because it stands on the wrong surface? Or why you have to calibrate a digital scale every morning? Interested? So here are 18 mistakes you might be making while weighing yourself. Other videos you might like:

Not Taking Body Composition Into Account 8:02
Using a Scale That Doesn't Calculate All the Stats 8:45
Using an Inaccurate Scale 9:09 #weightloss #slimfit #brightside SUMMARY:
– Digital scales tend to show bigger numbers (like up to 3.5 lbs more) not only when it's cold, but also when the humidity is high.
– Instead of hopping on the scale on Monday, try Friday morning – that's when your weight will reflect all the healthy lifestyle efforts you made throughout the week! – The largest organ in your body is your skin, and it also happens to absorb liquids really well. This means that after swimming or taking a shower, your body has absorbed 1 to 3 cups of water. – By the evening, you've already eaten at least three meals, and drank a ton of water. So, keep in mind that your weight can fluctuate by a few pounds during the day, and weigh yourself in the morning – that's when you’ll get the most accurate results. – If you eat a lot of foods rich in sodium, your body starts to retain more fluid than usual. As a result, you're more likely to see bigger numbers on the scale in the morning if you snacked on salty foods the night before.
– Your weight can change from day to day by as much as 5 lbs – and that's perfectly normal! It depends on how much liquid you've retained or what foods you've been eating.
– On the other hand, checking your weight only once a month isn't a good idea either. This way, you won't be able to figure out your weekly average, and understand which factors influence your weight fluctuations. – Different scales are bound to give you conflicting results. And the difference can be up to 10 lbs, which is pretty discouraging, isn't it?
– Carpets, bathroom tiles, and wooden floors can cause the scale to get uncalibrated.
– If what you see on the scale upsets you a bit too much for your liking, it's time to revise your approach. Remind yourself that these readings are temporary, and you shouldn't judge your entire weight-loss progress based solely on these numbers. – It's one of the biggest mistakes you can make while checking your weight. The thing is that few people who weigh themselves at home know how to adjust for their clothing.
– Even if your scale shows that you've gained a couple of pounds, but you feel lighter, and your clothes have become looser, ignore the scale readings. – Try to get a scale that shows different measurements: weight, body fat percentage, body water percentage, bone mass density, and BMI (which stands for "body mass index"). – A lot of people, in an attempt to save money, buy the cheapest scale they can find. Unfortunately, these scales tend to give you incorrect readings. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More You Make The Same Mistakes While Checking Your Weight Videos

Would you like to have the power of telepathy or flying? Genetic mutations of that kind are still impossible for humans (maybe just for now, who knows?). But there are other types that make people's appearance extraordinary and eye-catching. Do you know, for example, what piebaldism is? For almost 90% percent of people who have it, a forelock of white hair along with a white patch of skin on their forehead might be the only present symptom. Or have you ever heard that there are many different types of albinism? So a special type of albinism results in people of African and Asian origin having red hair, freckles, or blue eyes. This mutation looks stunning, breaking the stereotype that redheads can only have pale-white skin! Other videos you might like:

– Scientists call it heterochromia iridium, and there are three types: complete (when each eye has a different color), sectoral (when an eye has a part of contrasting color in the iris), and central (when a different color radiates out from the pupil). – Vitiligo is a condition which causes the skin, hair, and even nails to lose color since the body doesn't produce enough melanin. Scientists still aren’t sure what triggers this genetic anomaly. – Albinism is a genetic disorder that results in people having skin, hair, or eyes with little or no color. The main reason for albinism lies in a defect in one of several genes that produce or distribute melanin. – Beautiful thick eyelashes are something many people dream of. And some get it simply thanks to a genetic mutation called distichiasis, which causes people to have a second row of eyelashes.
– Many people think that a cleft chin is a sign of a strong and independent character, but, it’s really a gene mutation which results when the bones or muscles in the lower jaw don’t fuse completely during the baby’s development inside the womb.
– People with Waardenburg syndrome usually have pale blue eyes which are wide-set, and sometimes white patches on their skin and hair. However, this genetic condition also has a lot to do with serious health issues like deafness.
– Ocular albinism affects only the eyes, causing pigment to disappear from the iris, and sometimes the retina too. This rare eye condition more often affects males than females. Having ocular albinism usually means that a person needs to take great care of their eyes. – Having blue eyes is still the result of a genetic mutation which happened about 10,000 years ago. Back then, all people had brown eyes. In other words, their eyes contained a lot of melanin. The gene that controls melanin is called OCA2.
– If your melanocytes (skin cells involved in producing pigmentation) are evenly spread, you’re likely to get a nice tan. But some people have those special skin cells clustered together, and they end up having a build-up of pigment in one area, resulting in freckles!

Pretending you’re sleeping, studying, or putting in your earphones at the sight of others are those subtle hints you want to be left alone. Most people can read them! Other videos you might like:

– When polite requests don’t help, protect your mug with a legit padlock. Attach it to the handle of your mug and through the bars of your dish rack.
– Offer a friend to visit the laundromat together – it’ll save you cash and provide an excellent bonding opportunity. – When you have no clean socks, you can wash them in the sink, ring them out, and wrap each sock around the end of a hair dryer. There ya go – clean dry socks in 3 minutes!
– If you don’t have an iron, just pour some hot water over a garment and let it hang dry. You can also hang it up nearby as you take a hot shower! – You’re not just sharing a room with other people, you’ll also be sharing a bathroom. Shower shoes – they’re a must. – Most dorms have weekly events with food and drinks that cost way less than the same kind of fun off campus. But you can find good discounts out there too!
– One of the first things you should do as you arrive at your new home is to find out where the Free Stuff shelf is. A lot of students leave really good treasures behind when they move out of the dorm.
– There’s always something going down on campus, so don’t ignore it by staying in your dorm room like a sleep-deprived hermit crab. – Eating out for each and every meal will bust both your wallet and your waistline. To avoid putting on the Freshman 15 (and to save some money!), cook for yourself in the dormitory’s kitchen!
– More cooking means more dishes to do, right? Not necessarily! Just put some plastic wrap on your plate or bowl first. You can throw it away when you’re done eating, and your dishes will be spick and span! – It’s perfectly fine to politely decline when someone is inviting you to the 5th party this week, and you really just wanna chill or study. – People who just run past the guards or never say hi to the cook actually miss out on a lot of cool perks of dorm life. After all, it’s the guards that can let you come back much later than curfew!
– In case your dorm has weird policies against, say, using hair dryers or irons in the room, you need to know where to hide them in case the warden pays you an unexpected visit on their daily rounds. – You’ll have to learn to sleep in any conditions and any volume of noise during your college years. Because if you fail to do it, you’ll probably get no sleep whatsoever. Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More A Few Rules to Know to Survive in College Dorms Videos

Actual comic book superpowers don’t exist, but there are quite real genetic mutations that make you as close to a superhero as it gets! You can consider yourself special if you have one of them. For example, there really are people possessing superhuman strength! Well, not exactly superhuman, of course, but there’s a genetic anomaly that makes children’s muscles develop at a mind-blowing rate. Or take, for example, super athleticism. No, it’s not about being incredibly athletic. It’s a genetic mutation specific to Tibetans. They have a gene that allows them to live at extremely high altitudes without any trouble, breathing the thin mountain air as if they’re living in a valley. As a result, they’re extremely tough and can be involved in much more strenuous activities than other people. Other videos you might like:

Super strength 0:27
Enhanced vision 1:19
Longevity 2:02
Super athleticism 2:39
Unbreakable bones 3:18

Constant body odor 6:17
Super hair growth 7:05
Different eyes 7:45
Double eyelashes 8:32 #superpower #differenteyes #brightside SUMMARY:
– Due to inactivity of myostatin protein, which suppresses growth of muscle tissue, newborn children can become very lean, looking like bodybuilders at a very young age. – Most people have three types of cones in their eyes, allowing us to see millions of colors. But sometimes, they see so much more that we’re literally unable to comprehend the difference. That’s thanks to a fourth cone in their eyes that enhances their vision hundredfold. – There is a genetic mutation in a single Amish community in Indiana that adds another 10 years to their lifespan.
– Imagine falling from the roof of a ten-story building and getting away with a few bruises and scratches but no broken bones whatsoever! Such a genetic anomaly was discovered back in 1994, and it is associated with the LRP5 gene. It makes a person’s bones about eight times denser than normal, which basically makes them indestructible. – There are about 40 people in the world who have a blood type that doesn’t have any Rh-blood cell antigens. In simpler terms, it means anyone can accept their blood, even those with extremely rare blood types.
– Scientists have found out that people with naturally reduced function of a specific gene called PCSK9 have much lower cholesterol levels in their blood, which helps them avoid various diseases caused by this molecule.
– Short sleep periods occur in very few people, and some even go as far as to claim they don’t need sleep at all. For example, there’s a man from Vietnam who says he hasn’t slept for 33 years, having contracted the condition back in the ‘70s.
– A mutation of a gene causes a certain enzyme to stop being produced. And without this enzyme, the body starts emitting a strong and, well, pretty disgusting, aroma — something like rotten fish.
– Another rather uncomfortable genetic mutation is called the Ambras syndrome, or hypertrichosis. People suffering from it have excessive hair growing all over their bodies.
– Melanin is a pigment that’s present in our eyes, hair, and skin, so it can affect the color of anything. Heterochromia, though, only touches the eyes, making them two completely different colors — say, one hazel, the other blue.
– A very low number of people with distichiasis have two rows on either eye lid. The most famous example of this condition is Elizabeth Taylor — remember those dreamy eyes with fantastic lashes? Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz
