00:00:00The workers of construction sites and railways are usually dressed in orange,

00:00:05because this color is visible even in bad weather.

00:00:07It is the most effective color to attract attention and alert people.

00:00:11No wonder that many security vests and signal cones are also orange.

00:00:16The stop sign has an eight-sided shape to help drivers recognize it easily,

00:00:20even if they see it from behind.

00:00:22And when the signs were not yet reflective,

00:00:24the octagonal shape prevented drivers from confusing the stop sign with any other at night.

00:00:29The rough strips on the sides of the road are placed there to alert drivers to the steering wheel.

00:00:34When the tires pass on these strips, the noise and vibrations work like an alarm clock.

00:00:39There are magnetic locks on the fuel pumps in the service stations,

00:00:43in case someone leaves with the gasoline gun still attached to his tank.

00:00:48In this case, the lock automatically detaches the pipe.

00:00:51The gasoline forms a rainbow in a puddle of water because it cannot mix with water.

00:00:57It forms a thin membrane on top.

00:01:00When the light reflects on it and on the water at the same time, you get a rainbow.

00:01:05The triple handle of a jerry can is there to allow two people to carry it more easily

00:01:10and to distribute the liquid evenly.

00:01:13Gasoline cans often have a second hole that must also be unlocked before pouring the liquid.

00:01:18Air passage will prevent it from overflowing and therefore from being wasted.

00:01:23Most gasoline cans have two holes with caps.

00:01:26A larger one and a smaller one.

00:01:28You are supposed to unlock the smallest hole before pouring the liquid through the largest one.

00:01:32This will prevent the liquid from overflowing and from spreading on your clothes and on the floor.

00:01:37Another little trick that we often neglect is the tip of the cap of an ointment.

00:01:41Most tubes are usually sealed with a plastic film or an aluminum sheet

00:01:46and opening it with your nails is not the best idea.

00:01:48The tip on the cap makes it easy to open even the most tightly sealed tube.

00:01:53You can use most screwdrivers with a wrench to create more torque.

00:01:58Just place the wrench on the handle of the screwdriver.

00:02:01This way, you will need to apply much less force than usual.

00:02:05You will also be able to reach more easily difficult areas of access.

00:02:09Cameras are installed in stores, banks and hospitals to monitor everything.

00:02:14If something happens, you can call the police or the ambulance.

00:02:17The camera helps to resolve a lot of cases.

00:02:20So why are there no cameras in airplanes?

00:02:23The crew keeps order in the plane, but they can't do anything if something serious happens.

00:02:29In addition, there is nowhere to hide in an airplane.

00:02:32During the flight, the cameras are useless.

00:02:35And after the flight, the passengers' testimonials work as well as the cameras.

00:02:39So if the cameras are useless, why spend money on them?

00:02:43Water is very easy to clean because it has triangular molecules

00:02:47composed of an oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms, hence the H2O.

00:02:52These molecules have slightly different discharges on their opposite sides, a bit like magnets.

00:02:57This is why water easily attaches to other molecules, including those that make up saline.

00:03:02Many individual houses have triangular roofs

00:03:05because it allows rain, snow and dead leaves to slip on the slope.

00:03:10If all these things pile up on the roof of your house, one day it could collapse.

00:03:15When a storm approaches, the clouds seem to become dark.

00:03:19But this is only an illusion.

00:03:21The thin clouds of a sunny day easily let the light pass.

00:03:24They also diffuse all the colors of the light spectrum.

00:03:27This makes us perceive the clouds as being white.

00:03:30The thicker the clouds are and contain droplets of water,

00:03:33the less they let the light pass and the darker they appear.

00:03:37A good number of doors are made of brass, bronze or some alloys of copper.

00:03:42These metals have an anti-germ effect.

00:03:45Bacteria spread much more slowly on them.

00:03:48They also get rid of microbes quite quickly, in a few hours.

00:03:52But that doesn't mean you shouldn't wash your hands.

00:03:55Diamonds have symmetrical shapes to show you their brilliance.

00:03:59At first, these precious stones are not so beautiful.

00:04:02They go through several stages of size and then become elegant pieces.

00:04:06Most of these stones have a round shape with slightly pointed corners.

00:04:11It is in this shape that diamonds shine the most.

00:04:14Why are there two holes in an electric socket?

00:04:17The left hole is negatively charged, the right hole is positively charged.

00:04:21And the space below is the ground.

00:04:23Electricity must flow through the circuit.

00:04:26The current starts from the positive hole,

00:04:28goes through the charger of your phone, for example,

00:04:31then passes through the negative hole.

00:04:33Have you ever wondered what your jeans pocket was for?

00:04:36People used to wear watches with pins.

00:04:39The small pocket was designed for this purpose.

00:04:41Today, no one wears this kind of watch anymore, but the pocket is still there.

00:04:45And you can slip small objects in there, like a ring.

00:04:48In London, there are poles that look a bit like lightbulbs,

00:04:51but they don't have bulbs.

00:04:53Their official name is smoking pipes,

00:04:56and they are part of history today.

00:04:58But they were very useful in the 19th century.

00:05:01These hollow poles evacuated the air and bad-smelling explosive gases

00:05:04to avoid, let's say, undesirable consequences.

00:05:10Most kitchen scissors have metallic teeth

00:05:12resembling pliers in the middle between the handles.

00:05:15They can help you break nuts, crab shells and other hard products.

00:05:19You can also use them to open jars and bottles

00:05:22or remove the stems of herbs.

00:05:24Leather often looks dull to the eye,

00:05:26because it is covered with tiny scratches and scuffs.

00:05:29They scatter the light that hits the material.

00:05:32When you iron your shoes with a layer of wax,

00:05:35you fill these tiny crevasses.

00:05:37The surface becomes smoother,

00:05:39and the rays of light bounce more uniformly.

00:05:42This is why leather then takes a brighter shade.

00:05:45The overlays are filled with a special fluorescent semi-transparent ink

00:05:49that can shine in low light.

00:05:51Yellow and light green shades are the most popular,

00:05:54because they don't prevent you from seeing the text after a black and white photocopy.

00:05:58Photocopiers perceive yellow and light green marks as very pale,

00:06:01and don't print them.

00:06:03Magnets are made in the shape of horseshoes,

00:06:06because they increase the magnetic force.

00:06:08Colors are also important.

00:06:10The blue part indicates the south pole,

00:06:12and the red part the north pole.

00:06:14Both poles work simultaneously

00:06:16and increase the attraction force.

00:06:18The 1 cm diameter hole in the doors of an elevator is a lock.

00:06:23If the doors are locked,

00:06:25an operator can manually open them

00:06:27by inserting a special key into the hole.

00:06:30As for the tiny holes in the aircraft's windows,

00:06:33they are there to balance the air pressure.

00:06:36The window is made of three layers.

00:06:38The exterior window is extremely solid.

00:06:40It can withstand the difference in air pressure

00:06:43during take-off and landing.

00:06:45The interior window, which is the closest to you,

00:06:47is made of less expensive material.

00:06:49It avoids any potential damage to the window.

00:06:52The hole itself is in the central window.

00:06:54It not only balances the pressure,

00:06:56but also prevents the window from jamming.

00:06:59The mechanical stairs are there for your safety.

00:07:02They prevent you from getting too close to the edge of the escalator.

00:07:05This way, your clothes or tie won't get stuck between the steps.

00:07:09You see the sun in yellow or orange,

00:07:11because the atmosphere of our planet

00:07:13is dispersed by colors like blue, green and purple.

00:07:16This is also why the sun looks warmer

00:07:18at sunrise and sunset.

00:07:21If you go to the store to buy oranges,

00:07:23you will probably find them in a red net.

00:07:26It's pure marketing.

00:07:28And this color is not a random choice.

00:07:31When they are wrapped in a red net,

00:07:34the oranges look more orange,

00:07:36more juicy and more attractive.

00:07:38So you are more likely to buy them.

00:07:40Lemons are generally sold in green net nets

00:07:43for the same reason.

00:07:45If they were wrapped in red,

00:07:47they would look more orange.

00:07:49Green goes better with yellow

00:07:51and the color of the lemons stands out more.

00:07:53The manufacturers of nets

00:07:55produce a limited number of different nets

00:07:57and the only way to make them different

00:07:59is to invent a fantasy sewing pattern.

00:08:01Two nets from two different companies

00:08:03can be of exactly the same quality

00:08:05but cost a different price.

00:08:07Most people will never know

00:08:09and will believe that different patterns

00:08:11indicate a different quality.

00:08:13So when you buy,

00:08:15don't worry about the pattern.

00:08:17Almost all hotels have white bedsheets.

00:08:19They choose this color

00:08:21to show how high their standards of cleanliness are.

00:08:24The whiter the sheets are,

00:08:26the more the hotel looks high-end.

00:08:28It is much easier to see dirt

00:08:30and stains on white linen.

00:08:32This is proof that your room has been made.

00:08:34More than 40 billion Oreo biscuits

00:08:36are made every year.

00:08:38It is the most popular industrial biscuit in the world.

00:08:41The geometric pattern stamped on these biscuits

00:08:43is the logo of Nabisco,

00:08:45a symbol of European quality

00:08:47with the word Oreo.

00:08:49It was in 1952 that William Tournier

00:08:51created the chocolate biscuit design

00:08:53that we know today.

00:08:55Wireless headphones could soon belong to the past

00:08:58because of wireless technology.

00:09:00But if you still have some,

00:09:02you may have noticed the rings on the headphones.

00:09:05One ring symbolizes a mono sound,

00:09:07two rings symbolize a stereo sound

00:09:09and three rings mean you have a stereo sound

00:09:11and an integrated microphone.

00:09:13The iconic rings orange,

00:09:15red, purple, yellow and lime green

00:09:17of the Fruit Loops cereals

00:09:19hide a secret.

00:09:21They do not represent different fruit flavors.

00:09:23All these rings have the same fruit flavors

00:09:25mixed together.

00:09:27The colors are just there to make it pretty.

00:09:29The E of the Dell logo is tilted

00:09:31because the founder, Michael Dell,

00:09:33wanted his technology to turn the world upside down.

00:09:36A compass uses magnets

00:09:38to point to the magnetic north,

00:09:40but it is not exactly the geographic north.

00:09:42The north pole of the magnet of a compass

00:09:44points to the north,

00:09:46because the north and the south are attracted.

00:09:48The magnetic south pole of the earth

00:09:50is close to the geographic north,

00:09:52while the magnetic north pole

00:09:54is close to the geographic south of the earth.

00:09:56Confusing, isn't it?

00:09:58These little red spots that you sometimes see

00:10:00after breaking an egg

00:10:02should not worry you.

00:10:04The tiny blood spots can be caused

00:10:06by a small rupture of a blood vessel

00:10:08of the hen while she laid the egg.

00:10:10Eggs with these blood spots

00:10:12will not affect the taste of the egg.

00:10:14Ketchup is a word

00:10:16from many cultures

00:10:18including China, Malaysia and Indonesia.

00:10:20It was originally

00:10:22a marinated fish sauce.

00:10:24Ketchup is also an acceptable spelling

00:10:26even if ketchup

00:10:28is the most popular way

00:10:30to spell it today.

00:10:32The Airbnb logo is not a folded trombone

00:10:34as it may seem at first glance.

00:10:36The BELO, as it is called,

00:10:38for belonging, means more than that

00:10:40as it contains the face of a person,

00:10:42the symbol of localization

00:10:44and a heart for love.

00:10:46All together, they form

00:10:48the emblematic A of Airbnb

00:10:50and the symbol of conviviality.

00:10:52The food coloring E120

00:10:54or natural red 4,

00:10:56a.k.a. carmine,

00:10:58is made from tiny beetles.

00:11:00It has been used to color many things

00:11:02from cakes to sweets to drinks.

00:11:04This shine on sweets

00:11:06also comes from insects.

00:11:08It is the female of the caterpillar

00:11:10Caryalaca.

00:11:12This coelopter leaves behind

00:11:14a substance that is scratched on trees

00:11:16to be transformed into dried gum

00:11:18which gives this shiny look.

00:11:20The Mozilla Firefox logo

00:11:22is not a fox that surrounds the planet.

00:11:24It is a pandaroo.

00:11:26The name Firefox is the English translation

00:11:28of its Chinese name.

00:11:30The sewer covers in the street

00:11:32are round for safety reasons.

00:11:34In past civilizations like Ancient Rome,

00:11:36they were square.

00:11:38Unfortunately, they were prone to accidents.

00:11:40If they were not placed correctly,

00:11:42a square cover could slide diagonally

00:11:44into the hole.

00:11:46The generalization of round covers

00:11:48has eliminated this problem

00:11:50since in the absence of angles

00:11:52they cannot fall into the hole.

00:11:54The tomato is technically not a vegetable

00:11:56but a fruit.

00:11:58Bananas are not related to palm trees

00:12:00or trees.

00:12:02They are herbs.

00:12:04Instead of that,

00:12:06they form a fleshy stem

00:12:08called succulent like citronelle

00:12:10or its cousin, ginger.

00:12:12They can also be considered as berries.

00:12:14The color of the Golden Gate Bridge

00:12:16was not supposed to be the orange-red

00:12:18it is today.

00:12:20Many other original colors were suggested

00:12:22like black with yellow stripes

00:12:24or even the orange sugar pattern

00:12:26to make it visible for ships and planes

00:12:28especially in the frequent fog of San Francisco.

00:12:30But when the steel arrived,

00:12:32covered with an orange finish

00:12:34to protect it from rust,

00:12:36the architect preferred the color

00:12:38International Orange

00:12:40and it stayed.

00:12:42The pads at the back of the keyboards

00:12:44are not designed to relieve your wrists.

00:12:46Using these pads too long

00:12:48can tire them and slow down the stroke.

00:12:50These articulated pads are simply there

00:12:52to help you see letters and numbers

00:12:54better if you do not know how to type blindly.

00:12:56The color of a pepper does not reveal anything

00:12:58about its taste or heat.

00:13:00The more it comes out, the stronger it is.

00:13:02The heat does not come from the seeds,

00:13:04but from the white membranes that hold them.

00:13:06Hidden in the Toblerone logo of the mountain

00:13:08is the image of a bear

00:13:10standing on its hind legs.

00:13:12It is because bears are very important for Bern,

00:13:14one of the largest cities in Switzerland

00:13:16where the founder created the famous

00:13:18triangular chocolate bar.

00:13:20Toblerone is also a pun

00:13:22on the name of the founder's family,

00:13:24Tobler, and the Italian word Toron

00:13:26which means a variety of nougat.

00:13:28The empty space under a cup of nougat

00:13:30is there to protect the nougat during transport.

00:13:32This technique is called

00:13:34an intermediate suspension.

00:13:36Not only are they better protected

00:13:38in their polystyrene cup,

00:13:40but it also helps these nougat

00:13:42to soften more uniformly and more quickly.

00:13:44If you think that the hole on the body

00:13:46of the ballpoint pens was useless,

00:13:48you are wrong.

00:13:50It is what is called an aeration system

00:13:52that helps the ink to flow more easily.

00:13:54Thus, the air pressure is balanced

00:13:56between the inside of the ballpoint pen

00:13:58and the outside of the pen,

00:14:00which allows the ink to flow easily

00:14:02towards the tip.

00:14:04One of the most recognized logos

00:14:06in the world of cycling

00:14:08has a hidden element.

00:14:10In the name of the Tour de France,

00:14:12the letters O, U and R

00:14:14form a cyclist.

00:14:16These metal supports on top of the pistols

00:14:18in the service stations

00:14:20have a unique design

00:14:22and a very precise function.

00:14:24The logo of Wendy's

00:14:26pays tribute to the daughter

00:14:28of the creator Dave Thomas.

00:14:30It comes from his nickname.

00:14:32But there is more than that.

00:14:34Wendy's necklace

00:14:36forms the word MOM.

00:14:38Although it was not intentional,

00:14:40it has become a trademark

00:14:42of the chain of restaurants.

00:14:44Finding the right road to get out

00:14:46of the motorway can be sometimes confusing,

00:14:48especially in a foreign country.

00:14:50Be careful of the side of the road

00:14:52that leads to the exit.

00:14:54It will be the way

00:14:56in which you will have to find yourself.

00:14:58Some toothpastes

00:15:00are equipped with a small operculum

00:15:02that must be removed

00:15:04before being able to use them.

00:15:06Instead of damaging your nails,

00:15:08know that the tip of the toothpaste

00:15:10has a small tip on top

00:15:12that is used to pierce the operculum.

00:15:14The Toastitos chips

00:15:16have a hidden symbol

00:15:18in the middle of their logo.

00:15:20One of the most emblematic monuments

00:15:22in the world,

00:15:24the Statue of Liberty,

00:15:26worked for 16 years

00:15:28as an entirely operational lighthouse.

00:15:30However, the light was barely visible

00:15:32even since Manhattan.

00:15:34In 1901, it was finally put out of service

00:15:36as a lighthouse.

00:15:38Tourists could even visit the torch

00:15:40to have an impregnable view of the city.

00:15:42But an accident damaged the torch

00:15:44in 1916 and it has been closed

00:15:46to the public since.

00:15:48So, do not remove it

00:15:50under legal proceedings

00:15:52on the mattresses,

00:15:54but do not put it there for the consumer

00:15:56and do not cancel your warranty

00:15:58if you remove it.

00:16:00In the 1900s, manufacturers

00:16:02created their filling with

00:16:04practically anything.

00:16:06Animal hairs,

00:16:08old hospital beds

00:16:10or clothes.

00:16:12This was not important at the time.

00:16:14Strict laws gave birth

00:16:16to more than a simple combination

00:16:18of random circles.

00:16:20The three overlapping ovals

00:16:22symbolize the fusion of the hearts

00:16:24of customers and Toyota.

00:16:26A California Sushi Roll is made

00:16:28of seaweed, rice, cucumber, avocado

00:16:30and crab meat.

00:16:32Except that it is not crab meat at all.

00:16:34Surimi is an imitation of crab meat.

00:16:36It is made of white fish mixed with sugar

00:16:38instead of crustaceans.

00:16:40The fish mixture is then heated

00:16:42and pressed to shape it.

00:16:44The Beats logo is simply

00:16:46a tiny B inside a red circle.

00:16:48The circle represents

00:16:50a human head and the B

00:16:52the shape of a headphone.

00:16:54All these little black dots

00:16:56on the side of the car windows

00:16:58are called chips.

00:17:00It is black enamel paint

00:17:02that is put on the windshields

00:17:04during manufacturing.

00:17:06It blocks ultraviolet rays

00:17:08and helps to distribute

00:17:10the temperatures between

00:17:12the car and the customer.

00:17:14It is also a symbol of recycling.

00:17:16It is supposed to represent

00:17:18the values and products

00:17:20of the company.

00:17:22The hair pins are designed

00:17:24so that the zig-zag part

00:17:26is placed on top

00:17:28of the other pins.

00:17:30It is also a symbol

00:17:32of recycling.

00:17:34It is a symbol of recycling.

00:17:36It is also a symbol

00:17:38of recycling.

00:17:40It is also a symbol

00:17:42of recycling.

00:17:44It is also a symbol

00:17:46of recycling.

00:17:48Next time you dress up,

00:17:50look at your shirt

00:17:52up close.

00:17:54Each buttonhole

00:17:56is sewn horizontally,

00:17:58but look at the very

00:18:00last hole.

00:18:02It is sewn horizontally,

00:18:04isn't it?

00:18:06The lower part of your shirt

00:18:08The shower curtain is not designed like this by chance.

00:18:11It prevents your shirt from tearing when your hips move.

00:18:15The layer of foam that forms when you put foam bath in your bathtub is not just fun.

00:18:20It also acts as an insulator and keeps your bath warm longer.

00:18:24The pompom on the top of your hat was not placed there just to look pretty.

00:18:28Originally, it was sewn on the sailors' hats to prevent them from sticking their heads on the ceilings,

00:18:33often too low for ships.

00:18:35The crackers were pierced with holes to prevent them from breaking or cracking during cooking.

00:18:40If these holes did not exist, the steam would accumulate inside and break them.

00:18:45The numbers written on the stickers that can be found on oranges are not placed randomly.

00:18:50If there are four numbers and the first is 3 or 4,

00:18:53it means that the fruit was grown according to the usual agricultural techniques.

00:18:58Five numbers starting with an 8 means that the orange has been genetically modified.

00:19:03Five numbers starting with an 9 means that the fruit is organic.

00:19:07The margins on the pages of notebooks are not just used to take notes,

00:19:11but were originally used as protection.

00:19:13At the time, rats were very present in houses, and paper was one of their favorite food.

00:19:18The margins were therefore added so that the rats blinked white areas

00:19:22rather than those containing important writings.

00:19:24If you empty your Chinese meal on a plate,

00:19:28you give yourself trouble for nothing, just like the seasoning pots on paper in fast food.

00:19:32These cardboard boxes can be unfolded to form a plate of suitable size for your dish.

00:19:37The long neck of your soda bottle is designed to encourage you to hold it there.

00:19:42Thus, the heat from your hand will only warm up the upper part of the bottle

00:19:47instead of warming up your whole drink.

00:19:49Why do the back of some jackets have a buttonhole without a corresponding button?

00:19:54Originally, coats and jackets were equipped with a corresponding button

00:19:58so that the person wearing them could raise their collar and tie it around their neck to make it warmer.

00:20:04Over time, people stopped doing it, and this button was removed.

00:20:08But many manufacturers have kept this buttonhole by tradition.

00:20:11It is always difficult to see food in the microwave because of this black grid glued to the window,

00:20:16but it is there to protect you from harmful waves.

00:20:19It's a Faraday cage.

00:20:21This lozenge on your backpack is a fishing rod.

00:20:25It is there so that you can pass cords through the holes to transport additional equipment.

00:20:31It is ideal for camping or long hikes.

00:20:34The golf balls are covered with small holes so that you can fly more easily in the air.

00:20:39This reduces the resistance and allows them to travel further and faster.

00:20:44The cotton of the make-up has two different sides for a good reason.

00:20:48The bushy side is used to apply the make-up, while the other is used to remove it.

00:20:52The donuts are pierced so that the inside and the outside cook evenly.

00:20:57Before the addition of these holes, the inside was often greasy and doughy, while the outside was crispy.

00:21:03The charger of your laptop is equipped with small legs, but not to stand it up.

00:21:07When they are unfolded, these legs allow you to wrap the cable around and hold it in place to prevent it from getting tangled or damaged.

00:21:15If you look at a bottle of soda, you will notice a disc inside the cap of the bottle.

00:21:20This disc allows you to seal the bottle hermetically to prevent the gas from escaping.

00:21:25The holes in the sucker sticks are not intended to prevent suffocation in case of ingestion.

00:21:30They are there to keep the candy in place.

00:21:33The excess liquid flows into the tube through this hole and when it hardens, it fixes the sucker.

00:21:38If the stick was smooth, the candy would slip too easily.

00:21:42Leather motorcycle jackets' zipper is often sewn diagonally.

00:21:47This is not just a fashion effect.

00:21:49Vertically sewn zippers can be rolled up when you lean forward, but not a diagonal zipper.

00:21:55The small triangle on your fuel gauge is used to indicate which side of the car is the fuel trap.

00:22:02You will never stop on the wrong side of the pump now.

00:22:05The vacuum cleaners are equipped with many accessories, but do you really know what the one with long hair is for?

00:22:11It is used to make dust and is perfect for cleaning framed paintings, stores and abattoirs.

00:22:17These little holes in the chocolate box tray actually have a function.

00:22:21Press on the hole near the candy and it will come out without your fingers getting dirty.

00:22:26Some skyscrapers have completely empty floors.

00:22:29It is actually a way to bypass the height limits.

00:22:32Most buildings have a limited number of floors.

00:22:35As these invisible floors are empty, they add height to the buildings and make them more impressive

00:22:40without increasing the number of real floors and while respecting the construction contract.

00:22:45These hollow floors also prevent the spread of fires.

00:22:49Women's shirt buttons are traditionally placed on the left for a good reason.

00:22:54At the time, it was a sign of wealth because it meant that a servant you had dressed

00:22:59and having the buttons on the left allowed her to button the shirt more easily.

00:23:04Your cuticles are useful for something, so think well before getting rid of them.

00:23:09This little skin area is there to protect your nails from infections.

00:23:13Without it, bacteria and fungi can infiltrate.

00:23:16What is the difference between a wooden belt and a plastic belt?

00:23:20In addition to helping to keep your clothes in shape, cedar wooden belts repel mites and insects.

00:23:25If you look carefully at an elevator door, you will see a small hole.

00:23:29It is actually a lock hole used for maintenance or in case of emergency.

00:23:33These buttons scattered in your jean are rivets and they are placed in the most fragile places of the jean

00:23:39to protect it from tears due to tension or movement.

00:23:43The crown of the Statue of Liberty has 7 points representing the 7 seas and the 7 continents.

00:23:49They have been added so that it can offer a little of its famous freedom to all the inhabitants of the world.

00:23:54Suitcases are often equipped with two locks that can be linked with a padlock to avoid theft.

00:23:59Salt is not only used to season, it also eliminates tenacious odors.

00:24:04Rubbing it on your fingers after chopping garlic will make the smell disappear.

00:24:08It also works on shoes.

00:24:10If you are in a hurry to go out but your phone is discharged, put it in airplane mode to charge it faster.

00:24:16Men's shirts have a loop in the back that allows you to hang them on a hook without crushing them.

00:24:22Vaseline has a secret use.

00:24:24It is ideal to make scuffs disappear on leather shoes.

00:24:28It will also make them shine.

00:24:30Some car trunks are equipped with an emergency lock in case you accidentally lock yourself inside.

00:24:36You are never too careful.

00:24:38You wait a little to find it and then pull on it to open the trunk.

00:24:42The painted grids have a secret slide in the back that can be removed to remove the crumbs.

00:24:47Look at the keyboard of your laptop.

00:24:49There are bumps on the F and J keys, but nowhere else.

00:24:53When your fingers are in the optimal position to type, your indexes must rest on these two keys.

00:24:59These bumps were added to be able to position your hands correctly without looking at the keyboard.

00:25:04If you don't have an index, it may be because you fed the sharks a little too close and in this case we can't do anything for you.

00:25:12The new iPhone models, equipped with large screens, have a practical option called accessibility.

00:25:19Thanks to this function, you won't have to struggle to reach the top of the screen.

00:25:24This function is found in the phone's accessibility settings.

00:25:27It allows you to reach the elements located at the top of the screen by swiping down on the lower edge of the screen.

00:25:35The straps on the side of the road are there to wake up the sleeping drivers who are drowning in the steering wheel.

00:25:41When your tires drift on these straps, the noise and vibrations work like an alarm clock.

00:25:46Most kitchen chisels have metal teeth in the shape of pliers in the middle.

00:25:51They allow you to use the utensil for multiple purposes.

00:25:54They are placed between the handles of the handle to allow you to break nuts, crab shells, etc.

00:26:00You can also open jars and bottles with their help.

00:26:04Some people even use these teeth to remove the aroma stems.

00:26:08If your audio jack has three rings, it means that your device can produce a stereo sound and your headphones fill the microphone function.

00:26:16The black grid on the door of a microwave oven is called a Faraday cage.

00:26:21It prevents microwaves from escaping.

00:26:23If this were the case, your food wouldn't cook properly.

00:26:26The numbers on an egg can teach you a lot about the product.

00:26:29In many countries, there is a special ticketing system.

00:26:33The first number indicates the method of production.

00:26:35The next two-letter code indicates the country where the egg was produced.

00:26:39And finally, there is a registration number.

00:26:42It indicates where the laying hen comes from.

00:26:45The first number of this code can vary from 0 to 3.

00:26:480 means that it is a biological egg.

00:26:511 means that it is an egg raised in the open air,

00:26:53which means that it was produced by a hen allowed to lay eggs outside.

00:26:572 means that it is an egg produced in a deep-bathed henhouse.

00:27:013 means that you are about to buy an egg raised in the open air.

00:27:05The black strip that runs along the edges of your windshield is called the frit.

00:27:09It is a ceramic paint baked in the oven,

00:27:11which first appears in the form of solid black strips near the edge of the windshield.

00:27:15It then dissolves into small dots.

00:27:17The frit makes the glass rougher and the adhesive adheres better to it.

00:27:21The frit protects the urethane mastic.

00:27:24It is the substance that fixes the glass to the frame.

00:27:27It also prevents the ultraviolet rays of the sun from melting the glue.

00:27:31As for the black dots, they help to distribute the temperature more evenly in the car.

00:27:36They are also very aesthetic.

00:27:38Without them, the contrast between the green and the dark strip would be too obvious.

00:27:43If you see a jean with an additional buckle,

00:27:46these are special jeans for cyclists.

00:27:48It is likely that it belongs to a line of clothing for those who go to work by bike.

00:27:52The main objective of the buckle is to hold your bicycle lock.

00:27:56Many light locks have outer rings,

00:27:59especially if these zips are supposed to be used together.

00:28:03These rings are added so that you can attach them with a lock and push the pickpockets back.

00:28:08The keyboards are equipped with small feet.

00:28:10They were designed to allow you to tilt your keyboard.

00:28:13So you can see the keys you hit.

00:28:16On the other hand, a flat keyboard does not tire the wrists as much.

00:28:20And people who can type without looking at the keyboard

00:28:22absolutely do not need these feet.

00:28:25An olive spoon is also made of stainless steel

00:28:28and its bowl-shaped head is pierced with a small hole.

00:28:32The main objective of this device is to lift the olives, cherries,

00:28:36pickles and other products contained in jars,

00:28:39tin boxes or liquid-filled bowls.

00:28:42The hole in the middle allows you to quickly and easily evacuate the liquid

00:28:46that accumulates in the spoon.

00:28:48What will they imagine next?

00:28:50Bowls have the shape of rings

00:28:52because otherwise they would be overcooked on the edges

00:28:54and would remain raw and sticky inside.

00:28:57By making a hole in the middle,

00:28:59the outside and the inside will be cooked at the same time.

00:29:02Round bowls, without holes, are generally filled with pastry cream,

00:29:06whipped cream or jelly.

00:29:08These bowls have no corners,

00:29:10which means that there are fewer weak points,

00:29:12hence the filling can spread.

00:29:14If you grab a box of fruit juice a little too firmly,

00:29:17you could have liquid sticking everywhere.

00:29:19To avoid this kind of situation,

00:29:21lift the tabs located on the sides of the box of juice.

00:29:24You can use them to hold your drink.

00:29:26Some cars have a small coffee cup sign on the dashboard.

00:29:30This is the vehicle's anti-sleeping mechanism.

00:29:33Some manufacturers equip their cars with a sleep detection system.

00:29:37It analyzes speed, wheel angle and trajectory deviations

00:29:41and determines whether it is time for the driver to take a break.

00:29:45If this is the case, the vehicle emits several sound signals

00:29:48and the coffee cup sign starts flashing.

00:29:51The stickers on the fruits and vegetables you buy at the supermarket

00:29:54are filled with information.

00:29:56If there is a 4-digit code on the sticker,

00:29:59the product has been grown in the most common way.

00:30:02In most cases, this also means that pesticides have been used in the process.

00:30:08If the product is organic, its sticker has 5 digits

00:30:11and the first is 9.

00:30:13Genetically modified products also have a 5-digit code,

00:30:16but the first is 8.

00:30:18Sugar was once sold in the form of sugar bread.

00:30:22These were high and hard cones.

00:30:24At the time, to prepare the sugar for their tea,

00:30:26people had to first use special hammers to break a bread.

00:30:30Then they cut the sugar into smaller and prettier pieces.

00:30:34It was only in the middle of the 19th century

00:30:36that people invented the first press that cut sugar into pieces.

00:30:40In this way, the product was easier to store and transport.

00:30:44A small hole at the other end of your key

00:30:46can provide your screwdriver with a few additional turns.

00:30:49You just have to slide the end with the hole on the screwdriver.

00:30:53You can also use this method when the angle is delicate.

00:30:57When you drive in the dark,

00:30:59you can be blinded by the headlights of the car behind you.

00:31:02If you have a manual rearview mirror,

00:31:04find the tab at the bottom and tilt it.

00:31:06The mirror has a reflective material behind its glass.

00:31:09By tilting the tab, you will change the angle of this material,

00:31:12which dims the lights of the mirror.

00:31:14Most ice cream spoons come in different colors.

00:31:18This has nothing to do with aesthetics.

00:31:20The color indicates the size of the spoon.

00:31:22This way, you can easily determine the number of spoons

00:31:25you will need to fill a kilogram.

00:31:28Wow, a sundae of a kilo!

00:31:30I want some, I want some, I want some!

00:31:32Some small tube caps are hollow on top

00:31:35and have a small tip inside.

00:31:37Their purpose is to break the aluminum lid that seals the tube.

00:31:41The cap fits perfectly into this hole

00:31:43and the tip is designed to break the seal.

00:31:46This way, you don't have to tear off the little aluminum sheet with your fingers.

00:31:51The letter R in a circle on the packaging of a product

00:31:54means that the brand is officially registered.

00:31:57Once this is done, the owner of the brand

00:31:59has the right to place this letter on all of its products.

00:32:02He can also sue anyone who tries to use his brand.

00:32:06A gas pump usually has a small latch or metal hook on its handle.

00:32:12It's a trigger lock.

00:32:14You can use it to lock the handle in an open position.

00:32:17The gas will continue to be pumped even if you move away.

00:32:21In the past, coins had rather incongruous shapes

00:32:25or had no shape at all.

00:32:27Dishonest people used it to their advantage.

00:32:29They denied the precious metals of which the coins were made

00:32:32by scratching the edges.

00:32:34It was illegal, and to avoid this kind of fraud,

00:32:37we invented round coins and chained them.

00:32:40After that, it became easy to notice instantly

00:32:43that a coin had been trafficked.

00:32:45The two holes in a lollipop stick are there to hold the cap in place.

00:32:49When the stick is dipped in a hot liquid syrup,

00:32:52it flows into the holes and solidifies.

00:32:55Now, your candy is there to stay.

00:32:58The fabric squares that go with the clothes

00:33:00are there so that you try your cleaning products on them first.

00:33:03This way, you won't ruin all your clothes when you decide to wash them.

00:33:07The holes in the back of the headphones

00:33:09allow the air to circulate in the speakers.

00:33:12This increases the bass frequencies,

00:33:14making the bass sound deeper.

00:33:16The sound quality also becomes much better.

00:33:19Am I not a great voice? Thank you!

00:33:21You can adjust your stapler

00:33:23so that it only staples the documents together temporarily.

00:33:26To do this, just rotate the stapling area.

00:33:29Most staplers have two options for this.

00:33:32One is standard, but the other allows you to fold the staplers

00:33:35by moving them away from the center.

00:33:37Later, when you don't need them anymore,

00:33:39you can easily remove them by hand.

00:33:42If you store peanut butter cans upside down,

00:33:44the oil will move to the bottom

00:33:46and all the solids will be on top.

00:33:48Don't laugh, it's very important for some people.

00:33:52Well, grab your phone.

00:33:54Now, turn it over.

00:33:56Do you see this point between the lens of the camera and the flash?

00:33:59It's a small microphone.

00:34:01I bet you didn't know what it was.

00:34:03What is it doing here?

00:34:05Well, when you're on the phone,

00:34:07this little hole reduces the background noise

00:34:09that the main microphone captures while you're talking.

00:34:12Yes, without it, your calls wouldn't be as clear as they are.

00:34:16You're lost in the woods and you're trying to find your friends.

00:34:19You suddenly remember that you have something that can help you.

00:34:22You grab one of the chest straps of your backpack

00:34:25and you whistle in it.

00:34:27Yes, today, many bags are equipped with this function,

00:34:30especially those made for the outside.

00:34:33And it doesn't take long before you hear the call of one of your friends

00:34:37and you follow it to the campfire,

00:34:39saved by this object that you never thought of.

00:34:42If you're curious, you may have already wondered

00:34:45what this little pocket in your jeans is for.

00:34:47You know, the one inside one of your front pockets.

00:34:51It's often used to store coins and bills,

00:34:54but that's not why it's made.

00:34:56In fact, it's designed to store your pocket watch.

00:34:59Well, maybe that's where the term pocket watch comes from.

00:35:03You finally get home after a long day at work.

00:35:06You obviously don't want to cook,

00:35:08so you sit on the couch,

00:35:10you watch TV a little,

00:35:11and you order a dish to take away.

00:35:13Chinese cuisine? Good idea.

00:35:15You ring the doorbell.

00:35:17It must be your meal.

00:35:18It smells deliciously good.

00:35:20Wait, before taking the plates,

00:35:22do this instead.

00:35:24Open the container in which your meal arrived

00:35:26directly on the table.

00:35:28It's perfect as a plate.

00:35:30And it's made of cardboard,

00:35:31which means there's no dishes to do afterwards.

00:35:33The soda can you got with your dish

00:35:36also has a nice function.

00:35:38Look at the little metal tab,

00:35:40the one you use to open the can.

00:35:42Well, guess what?

00:35:44You can put your straw in there.

00:35:46In fact, that's exactly why it's made.

00:35:49Go ahead, try it.

00:35:51You can't avoid the fact that the letters on your keyboard

00:35:53are arranged in a very particular order,

00:35:55and French keyboards are no exception.

00:35:58Here's an American keyboard,

00:36:00one of the most common.

00:36:02The keys are arranged according to what we call

00:36:04the QWERTY arrangement,

00:36:06so named because of the first six keys

00:36:08located under the numbers.

00:36:10It turns out that this has not always been the case.

00:36:13They were once arranged in alphabetical order,

00:36:15which is more logical when you think about it.

00:36:18The alphabetical arrangement fell into disrepair

00:36:21because a long time ago,

00:36:23there were things called writing machines.

00:36:25Do you remember?

00:36:27You pressed a key,

00:36:28and a character bar appeared

00:36:30to hit an inked ribbon

00:36:32and stamp a letter on a piece of paper.

00:36:34Over time, the dactylos managed to write very quickly.

00:36:37Too quickly.

00:36:38The character bars ended up

00:36:40getting stuck in each other,

00:36:42which disrupted the process.

00:36:44To solve this problem,

00:36:46we made keyboards whose keys

00:36:48are arranged in disorder.

00:36:50The new arrangement worked better

00:36:52because it made the hit more difficult,

00:36:54which helped slow down the dactylos

00:36:57and prevent the character bars from getting stuck.

00:37:00It's much better.

00:37:01Today, no more character bars,

00:37:03no more writing machines.

00:37:05We are still quite fast in our time,

00:37:07but I can't help but wonder

00:37:09who was going the fastest, them or us.

00:37:11Keyboards have another hidden feature.

00:37:14Have you ever noticed these little bumps

00:37:16at the bottom of the F and J keys?

00:37:18Well, they are there to help us

00:37:20locate ourselves on the keyboard

00:37:22without having to leave the screen.

00:37:24You may be used to taking a coffee

00:37:26to take to your favorite establishment

00:37:28to wake you up in the morning.

00:37:30But when you get home or to your workplace,

00:37:33you may be afraid to stain your desk

00:37:35by putting your coffee on it.

00:37:37Don't worry.

00:37:38This plastic lid is not only there

00:37:40to keep your coffee warm.

00:37:42It also acts as a cup holder.

00:37:45In fact, your cup fits perfectly in it.

00:37:48And so it is.

00:37:49The following tip will be very useful

00:37:51if you like to cook at home.

00:37:53If you are like me,

00:37:54you may have a hard time knowing

00:37:56how much pasta you need for a single portion.

00:37:59Well, if you have a spoon,

00:38:01go get it.

00:38:02Most people don't know

00:38:04what the little hole in the middle is for

00:38:06and suppose it's there to let the water flow.

00:38:09But in fact,

00:38:10it's there to measure a perfect portion.

00:38:13Before cooking,

00:38:14put as much dry spaghetti as you can

00:38:16in this hole

00:38:17and you'll know how much to use.

00:38:19When you go to a store to buy tassels,

00:38:22you may notice that those made of plastic

00:38:24are cheaper than those made of wood.

00:38:27There's a good reason for that.

00:38:29Tassels made of wood are made of cedar.

00:38:32The big difference between the two

00:38:34is that tassels made of wood

00:38:36repel insects and mites.

00:38:38Tassels are solid and last longer,

00:38:40which is perfect for this object

00:38:42that usually stays in your closet for a long time.

00:38:45Looking at your toothbrush,

00:38:47you may have noticed that it has blue hairs.

00:38:50They're not there just to look pretty.

00:38:52In fact, they're there to tell you

00:38:54when to change your toothbrush.

00:38:56These hairs lose their firmness and color

00:38:59when the brush is used,

00:39:00which means it's time to get rid of them.

00:39:03Microwave ovens often look like mini-TVs,

00:39:06especially those in which this black frame is clearly visible.

00:39:09This is a very important feature

00:39:12that prevents the waves from escaping.

00:39:14This structure is actually a Faraday cage.

00:39:17Thanks to it, you can stay next to a microwave

00:39:20without instantly turning into a puddle.

00:39:23That doesn't mean you have to spend your day

00:39:25in front of your microwave watching your food heat up.

00:39:28But at least you know you won't wake up

00:39:31with an extra ear the next morning.

00:39:33Some ovens have a drawer in their lower part.

00:39:36It's tempting to use it to put away

00:39:38the groceries you don't use often.

00:39:41But there's actually a better use for it.

00:39:44You should use it to keep the food

00:39:46that's waiting to be served hot.

00:39:48You can take them out of the oven

00:39:50and put them directly in this drawer,

00:39:52which frees up space

00:39:54so you can continue cooking.

00:39:56Now you're on a plane,

00:39:58looking around you,

00:40:00trying to pass the time before takeoff.

00:40:02When you look at the window,

00:40:04you'll notice it has a tiny hole at the bottom.

00:40:07Don't worry, the window isn't broken.

00:40:10It's there to reduce the pressure

00:40:12that accumulates as the plane goes up and down.

00:40:15It also allows the air to circulate.

00:40:17Now raise your hand if you've ever been

00:40:19on an escalator and you've rubbed

00:40:21your shoes on the kind of brush

00:40:23that's on the side.

00:40:25I do it myself quite often,

00:40:27maybe more than I should.

00:40:29But these hairs aren't there to clean your shoes.

00:40:31It's an important safety device.

00:40:33It prevents your laces and clothes

00:40:35from getting stuck in the mechanism,

00:40:37which avoids a lot of inconvenience

00:40:39when you're going down.

00:40:41Sometimes you find a piece of fabric

00:40:43with your new dress.

00:40:45In general, it comes with extra buttons

00:40:47in a small plastic bag.

00:40:49You might think it's there

00:40:51to allow you to rip your clothes

00:40:53in case you tear them,

00:40:55but that's not the case at all.

00:40:57In reality, you're supposed to put it

00:40:59in your washing machine

00:41:01to see how it reacts

00:41:03to different washes.

00:41:05Now you don't have to worry

00:41:07about your new coat shrinking

00:41:09because you'll know in advance

00:41:11what program to use.

00:41:13Bubbles. Who doesn't like bubbles?

00:41:15Most people remember their childhood

00:41:17bubble blowers with emotion,

00:41:19but as they grow up,

00:41:21it's rather in our foam bath

00:41:23that we enjoy the bubbles.

00:41:25After a hard day's work,

00:41:27it's time for a hot bath.

00:41:29And bubbles do more than clean you up.

00:41:31If they're high-quality bubbles,

00:41:33they also serve as thermal insulators.

00:41:35They make sure your bath

00:41:37stays warm longer.

00:41:39Sometimes there are mysterious holes

00:41:41in chocolate boxes.

00:41:43When I eat a box or two,

00:41:45I usually ignore them

00:41:47and take the chocolate out

00:41:49by pressing on the bottom of the plastic.

00:41:51But that's not the right method at all.

00:41:53If you press on one of the holes,

00:41:55you'll get the same result.

00:41:57So I'm going to do that from now on.

00:41:59It's on the web.

00:42:01Here's another little kitchen secret.

00:42:03The handle of a saucepan

00:42:05is often pierced with a hole.

00:42:07Most people use it to hook

00:42:09their saucepan to a hook

00:42:11as an easy storage method.

00:42:13But this hole has another use.

00:42:15When you cook,

00:42:17you can use this handle

00:42:19to put your wooden or plastic spoon.

00:42:21It keeps your work plan clean

00:42:23and is usually equipped with a cap.

00:42:25That's normal. Without it,

00:42:27the liquid would just spread.

00:42:29In this cap, there's a plastic cover

00:42:31that apparently has no use.

00:42:33But that's wrong.

00:42:35It's a sealant sealant.

00:42:37It keeps your drink sparkling.

00:42:39Ah, that's exactly

00:42:41the cooling I needed.

00:42:43Many door handles are made of brass.

00:42:45And it's not by chance.

00:42:47They're made of this specific material

00:42:49because it's the worst enemy of bacteria.

00:42:51It's true. It's destroyed.

00:42:53Perfect for those who want to keep

00:42:55a clean house and avoid microbes.

00:42:57So, let's go fishing?

00:42:59So, you're hungry,

00:43:01but you don't really want to

00:43:03have a meal as a dessert.

00:43:05What would you say about instant noodles instead?

00:43:07At the end,

00:43:09your stomach rumbles,

00:43:11but there's a problem.

00:43:13The polystyrene cup is broken

00:43:15and the noodles are outside.

00:43:17Wait, what's this space

00:43:19for?

00:43:21This space is meant to protect the noodles.

00:43:23It's not a company that tries to save money

00:43:25or anything like that.

00:43:27Notice how the ramen in the cups

00:43:29is almost never broken,

00:43:31while the one in the packet

00:43:33comes out in bad shape.

00:43:35This technique is called an intermediate suspension.

00:43:37The noodles are tightened

00:43:39to prevent them from being crushed

00:43:41in the delivery truck.

00:43:43It's not just so that the noodles

00:43:45look beautiful and long.

00:43:47It's also so that the noise

00:43:49is softer and more regular.

00:43:51Morning wool is not the best.

00:43:53Fortunately, there's an easy way

00:43:55to get rid of it.

00:43:57Of course, everyone thinks

00:43:59that the mouthwash was invented

00:44:01to wash your mouth.

00:44:03Well, no.

00:44:05The mouthwash was originally invented

00:44:07and sold as a floor cleaner.

00:44:09It was sold to hospitals as an antiseptic

00:44:11for years,

00:44:13but it never really took off.

00:44:15Today, it's called mouthwash.

00:44:17The rest is a fresh story.

00:44:19So, after cleaning your teeth,

00:44:21don't forget that sometimes

00:44:23repositioning a brand

00:44:25can be very effective.

00:44:27It's hard to imagine

00:44:29a world without the Internet nowadays.

00:44:31No streaming, no online games,

00:44:33no pictures of cute kittens.

00:44:35Yes, I know that's not why

00:44:37it was invented, but who cares, right?

00:44:39The Internet prototype

00:44:41was called ARPANET,

00:44:43acronym for Advanced Research Projects Agency Network.

00:44:47This machine was very sensitive.

00:44:49To prevent anyone from turning it off,

00:44:51an intelligent scientist

00:44:53stuck a piece of paper on it

00:44:55with its striking words.

00:44:57This machine is a server.

00:44:59Don't turn it off.

00:45:01It was written in red ink,

00:45:03nicely drawn.

00:45:05The fact that your teacher

00:45:07scribbles in the margins of your notebook

00:45:09is not really new.

00:45:11Except that the margins

00:45:13were not designed for that.

00:45:15It's a protection against rats.

00:45:17At the time, rats were constantly

00:45:19nibbling on the paper.

00:45:21So, if you wrote something

00:45:23on the edge of the paper,

00:45:25it would end up in the stomach

00:45:27of a hungry rat.

00:45:29A few well-placed margins

00:45:31prevented your best answers

00:45:33from being eaten.

00:45:35Hey, I can't finish this pizza.

00:45:37It's time to cover up the leftovers.

00:45:39The roll comes off. Cool!

00:45:41If you look at the packaging,

00:45:43this long and thin box,

00:45:45there is a small feature

00:45:47that can help you.

00:45:49A cardboard tab at each end.

00:45:51Push them inwards

00:45:53and the roll won't be able to move.

00:45:55It's strange that I've never seen them before.

00:45:57It's lunchtime.

00:45:59I feel like a California Roll today.

00:46:01Algae, rice, cucumbers,

00:46:03avocado and crab meat.

00:46:05Or maybe it's...

00:46:07In fact, it's imitation crab meat.

00:46:09It's basically good white fish

00:46:11mixed with sugar.

00:46:13The fish mixture

00:46:15is then heated and shaped.

00:46:17It's delicious.

00:46:19Maybe that's why it's called

00:46:21the hot dog of the sea.

00:46:23No, I just made that up.

00:46:25Your microwave

00:46:27has a secret that we've all seen

00:46:29but never paid attention to.

00:46:31This black net you see

00:46:33on the door is a Faraday cage.

00:46:35It prevents electromagnetic energy

00:46:37or microwaves from escaping

00:46:39and from cooking you at the same time.

00:46:41That's how it heats up

00:46:43the food so quickly.

00:46:45Each microwave must have one

00:46:47and they're all of different qualities.

00:46:49This Faraday cage

00:46:51can even stop the signals

00:46:53on your phone,

00:46:55which is certainly useful.

00:46:57Hey, you don't need your popcorn

00:46:59to stop inflating to make a call,

00:47:01do you?

00:47:04Have you ever passed a IQ test

00:47:06and realized you had Einstein's IQ?

00:47:08No? Me neither.

00:47:10The average IQ is not 100.

00:47:12And there's very little evidence

00:47:14that Einstein never passed the test.

00:47:16At first, most people thought

00:47:18that the tests were too vague

00:47:20to be used for anything.

00:47:22This test was designed for children

00:47:24who needed help with their studies.

00:47:26Later, they realized

00:47:28that it could be adapted

00:47:30to measure intelligence.

00:47:33Hey, you've never blown up bubble wrap?

00:47:35No? You're missing something.

00:47:37And of course, you guessed it,

00:47:39it was never designed to be blown up

00:47:41or used as we do today.

00:47:43It was invented as new textured paper.

00:47:45It was by sealing two shower curtains

00:47:47together that they created the first bubbles.

00:47:49The idea was obviously never

00:47:51really found by the public.

00:47:53After failing as paper,

00:47:55he discovered the real meaning of his life.

00:47:57He discovered the real meaning

00:47:59of his life.

00:48:01This paper could protect fragile objects.

00:48:03When the first computers were shipped,

00:48:05bubble wrap was there to protect them.

00:48:07Would you find that cool or not?

00:48:09Leave me a comment below.

00:48:11If you owned one of the world's

00:48:13largest companies that sold

00:48:15one of the most famous products

00:48:17on the planet,

00:48:19how would you keep the secret

00:48:21of your company?

00:48:23A secret?

00:48:25The Coca-Cola formula is not even patented.

00:48:27The first recipe was,

00:48:29but after all the changes,

00:48:31no patent has ever been filed.

00:48:33The secret formula is only

00:48:35known to a few people in the company.

00:48:37That said, even the rival of Coca-Cola

00:48:39doesn't want this recipe.

00:48:41In 2006, an unhappy employee

00:48:43tried to sell the secret,

00:48:45but he didn't find a buyer.

00:48:47Hey, look at your brand new mattress.

00:48:49Do you see the label

00:48:51« Do not remove under penalty of judicial prosecution » ?

00:48:53This thing looks pretty serious.

00:48:55But good news,

00:48:57these labels are not for you.

00:48:59They are intended for mattress sellers.

00:49:01A hundred years ago,

00:49:03mattress manufacturers created

00:49:05their filling with practically anything.

00:49:07Animal fur, old hospital beds

00:49:09or even clothes.

00:49:11Then, strict laws

00:49:13prevented the use of these bizarre materials.

00:49:15Hospital mattresses were thus

00:49:17filled with germs.

00:49:19By the time of the rain,

00:49:21the water-filled bubble wrap

00:49:23is great to take care of at home.

00:49:25A mix of flour, water,

00:49:27salt, food coloring

00:49:29and that's it.

00:49:31Any creative person

00:49:33can have fun with it for hours.

00:49:35Good price, clean, non-toxic,

00:49:37the perfect molding paste.

00:49:39But it was never designed for that.

00:49:41This product was originally

00:49:43intended to clean the walls

00:49:45in the 1930s.

00:49:47It's because people started to go crazy

00:49:49with wallpaper on which

00:49:51water and soap couldn't be used.

00:49:53Finally, Pledo

00:49:55found new functions and

00:49:57really succeeded.

00:49:59Have you ever finished a mattress

00:50:01and noticed a hole in the little stick?

00:50:03This hole is not only decorative.

00:50:05And no, it is not designed

00:50:07to turn into a musical instrument.

00:50:09It is there to prevent

00:50:11this delicious sweet treat from falling.

00:50:13When the candy is still hot,

00:50:15it is poured into a mold.

00:50:17The candy flows into the hole

00:50:19and by hardening, it creates an anchor.

00:50:21You don't like lollipops?

00:50:23And why not good old American gum bears?

00:50:25Unfortunately,

00:50:27they are not American at all.

00:50:29They are German.

00:50:31A German company

00:50:33started making them in 1922.

00:50:35The original name was

00:50:37Gummy... something.

00:50:39In short, they were inspired

00:50:41by real bears dancing in shows.

00:50:43These treats ended up

00:50:45all over the world.

00:50:47Have you ever wondered

00:50:49about the little F and J keys

00:50:51on your keyboard?

00:50:53These little things

00:50:55help your fingers

00:50:57to be at the best place

00:50:59possible to tap

00:51:01at lightning speed.

00:51:03Keep your fingers

00:51:05on the F and J keys.

00:51:07This will make it easier

00:51:09to reach all the keys,

00:51:11especially if you

00:51:13don't look at the keyboard.

00:51:15Today, everyone loves

00:51:17Gummy.

00:51:19He was a huge hit

00:51:21as soon as he came out.

00:51:23It's crazy because

00:51:25he has never been designed

00:51:27like a toy.

00:51:29It's a spring.

00:51:31It was originally designed

00:51:33to stabilize the ship's

00:51:35sensitive nautical devices.

00:51:37Not a fun feature at all.

00:51:39And yet, one day,

00:51:41one of them fell off a table

00:51:43and started dancing

00:51:45like an old man.

00:51:47Let's give a medal

00:51:49to this team of scientists.

00:51:51The little pocket of your

00:51:53jeans wasn't designed

00:51:55to hold money or keys.

00:51:57It was originally designed

00:51:59to store your pocket watch.

00:52:01You don't have a watch?

00:52:03How is that possible?

00:52:05It was a hit in the 1890s.

00:52:07But that's not all

00:52:09that makes your old jeans

00:52:11interesting.

00:52:13The rivets play a very important role.

00:52:15They protect the sensitive areas

00:52:17of the most worn jeans.

00:52:19At the time, most people

00:52:21wore jeans to do manual work

00:52:23so they had to be resistant.

00:52:25If today these men

00:52:27saw you paying $100 for a torn

00:52:29jean, they would probably

00:52:31faint in shock.

00:52:44You can now move your files

00:52:46and place them in the order you want.

00:52:48If you're on iOS 14,

00:52:50the Weather app

00:52:52can display the air quality index

00:52:54for certain cities around the world.

00:52:56So if you live in New York or London,

00:52:58you can check if the air quality

00:53:00is good today.

00:53:02The Weather app also

00:53:04has other updates.

00:53:06It has a minute-by-minute forecast

00:53:08of the intensity of rain or snow

00:53:10in the next hour.

00:53:12This only works for the United States.

00:53:14If you live in the United States,

00:53:16Europe, Japan, Canada

00:53:18or Australia, you can receive alerts

00:53:20for any serious weather conditions

00:53:22like tornadoes,

00:53:24storms or floods.

00:53:26If you live in a very cold place

00:53:28and your iPhone turns off

00:53:30every time it freezes outside,

00:53:32go to Settings, Battery

00:53:34and check the battery status.

00:53:36If it's below 85%,

00:53:38you should probably change it.

00:53:40iOS 14 apps

00:53:42can be merged together.

00:53:44Just slide them

00:53:46on top of each other

00:53:48like when you want to put an app

00:53:50in a folder.

00:53:52You can now personalize

00:53:54your screen even more

00:53:56and, let's hope,

00:53:58save a little time

00:54:00every time you take your phone.

00:54:02You can take a screenshot

00:54:04of your iOS 14

00:54:06by simply tapping

00:54:08and going back.

00:54:10You can choose from a ton of options

00:54:12like screen capture,

00:54:14cut sound, welcome,

00:54:16lock screen.

00:54:18The list is long.

00:54:20Your phone even has a triple-tap function

00:54:22in case you're a little anxious.

00:54:24Your iPhone can scan

00:54:26any document

00:54:28and even recognize, copy

00:54:30and paste text from a photo.

00:54:32Just download the Google app

00:54:34and tap the frame icon

00:54:36in the upper right corner.

00:54:38When the photo app opens,

00:54:40all you have to do is choose

00:54:42the text mode and take a screenshot

00:54:44of the text you want to digitize.

00:54:46The process can take a while,

00:54:48but once you're done,

00:54:50you can copy the text and paste it

00:54:52wherever you want.

00:54:54You can even use it

00:54:56to instantly translate text

00:54:58like menus in foreign languages,

00:55:00warning signs and instructions.

00:55:02Even if you've switched to iOS 14,

00:55:04you can still enjoy the alarm clock

00:55:06simply by sliding the numbers

00:55:08instead of composing them.

00:55:10If your mobile data isn't as good,

00:55:12the airplane mode can be useful.

00:55:14Turn it on and wait 5 to 10 seconds

00:55:16to find a better internet connection.

00:55:18If you're on 3G,

00:55:20it will become LTE.

00:55:22In addition, if you charge your phone

00:55:24in airplane mode,

00:55:26it will charge about 15% faster.

00:55:28To improve video quality on your iPhone,

00:55:30try these three simple tips.

00:55:32Go to Settings, Camera, Format.

00:55:34Choose Screen Capture, High Efficiency.

00:55:36Then go back to the menu,

00:55:38go to Video Format

00:55:40and choose 1080p

00:55:42at 30 frames per second.

00:55:44And finally,

00:55:46activate the grid to decompose.

00:55:48That's it for the benchmarks.

00:55:50It's time to think about cybersecurity.

00:55:52In the search bar,

00:55:54type password.

00:55:56Choose security-related advice

00:55:58and activate the Detect Compromised Passwords function.

00:56:00If you've typed a wrong number

00:56:02in the calculator,

00:56:04you can delete it,

00:56:06number by number,

00:56:08with a simple swipe to the left.

00:56:10The same trick works

00:56:12when you have a phone number.

00:56:14So if you've clicked on the wrong number,

00:56:16you just have to swipe it to delete it.

00:56:18With iOS 14,

00:56:20you don't have to waste time

00:56:22creating several files for your apps.

00:56:24There's an app library for that.

00:56:26It automatically lists all the apps

00:56:28that you use.

00:56:30The Updates section contains

00:56:32the apps you downloaded recently

00:56:34and displays the recently launched apps.

00:56:38You can now define the default app

00:56:40as a browser or an email.

00:56:42Go to Settings

00:56:44and scroll down

00:56:46until you see the app you want by default.

00:56:48When you click on it,

00:56:50you'll see the App section

00:56:52by default.

00:56:54Click on it and choose the one you want

00:56:56in the list.

00:56:58iOS 14 has a cool feature

00:57:00that allows you to hide all your private photos.

00:57:02Go to Settings

00:57:04and choose the Photo section.

00:57:06Scroll down until you find

00:57:08the Hidden Album section.

00:57:10If you click on the Hidden Album button,

00:57:12anyone who has access to your phone

00:57:14can see it.

00:57:16All iPhones have an integrated QR reader,

00:57:18whether it's a good old iPhone 5

00:57:20or a brand new iPhone 12.

00:57:22The improved QR reader

00:57:24for iOS 14

00:57:26can scan almost any code,

00:57:28even if it's tiny

00:57:30or wrapped around an object.

00:57:32As for music,

00:57:34you can discover new songs

00:57:36and the automatic play mode

00:57:38can search for similar songs that you might like.

00:57:40There are also a lot of new filters

00:57:42that allow you to search

00:57:44in your library much faster.

00:57:46Spatial audio is a 3D sound

00:57:48that gives you an immersive experience.

00:57:50To activate this function,

00:57:52go to the Bluetooth section

00:57:54and click on i

00:57:56next to your AirPods.

00:57:58Yes, it only works with AirPods.

00:58:00And click on the Spatial Audio button.

00:58:02Also check in the Accessibility section

00:58:04that you have to click on the

00:58:06Follow iPhone button

00:58:08to make sure everything works correctly.

00:58:10iOS 14 takes care of your sleep

00:58:12thanks to its new sleep modes

00:58:14and wind-down.

00:58:16When you click on Clock,

00:58:18you'll see a lot of new features

00:58:20like Sleep Time.

00:58:22Make sure it's on.

00:58:24Then, change the active days.

00:58:26You can set a sleep time

00:58:28and then touch the Wind Down section.

00:58:30Add the apps you want

00:58:32to the Wind Down section shortcuts.

00:58:34When your phone is in night mode,

00:58:36you can access it directly

00:58:38from your lock screen.

00:58:40You won't be able to scroll like a zombie

00:58:42at 4 in the morning.

00:58:44You can easily improve the battery life.

00:58:46First, limit the use of widgets.

00:58:48Try not to add too many

00:58:50and limit the use of those

00:58:52that require a lot of data

00:58:54to stay up to date.

00:58:56You can also automate

00:58:58the Low Battery Mode

00:59:00up to a certain percentage of the battery.

00:59:02Go to Automation,

00:59:04press the Plus button

00:59:06and create a new automation parameter.

00:59:08OK, this one is for

00:59:10all iPhone users

00:59:12who like to be on their couch.

00:59:14You can now send a voice message

00:59:16with the help of your good friend Siri.

00:59:18All you have to do is say

00:59:20Hey Siri, send a voice message

00:59:22to Paul Dubois.

00:59:24Siri starts recording,

00:59:26stops when you're done

00:59:28and gives you a preview.

00:59:30All you have to do is press the Send button.

00:59:32There are excellent automatic suggestions

00:59:34for your Home app

00:59:36and your phone can adjust

00:59:38the temperature of its color

00:59:40throughout the day,

00:59:42which gives it a more natural look.

00:59:44Another interesting feature

00:59:46is facial recognition.

00:59:48It can even recognize a person

00:59:50through a Judah

00:59:52if it is recorded as a person

00:59:54on your photos.

00:59:56eMessage has also been updated.

00:59:58You can now pin up to 9 lines of messages

01:00:00so that the contacts you use

01:00:02the most frequently

01:00:04stay at the top of your list

01:00:0624 hours a day, 7 days a week.

01:00:08You can also mention people

01:00:10in conversations to send a message

01:00:12eMessage also facilitates

01:00:14the filtering of unknown senders.

01:00:16The section

01:00:18Let me know in the messages

01:00:20allows you to receive notifications

01:00:22in the messages

01:00:24every time your name is mentioned

01:00:26even if you have cut off the sound of the conversation.

01:00:28It is very practical

01:00:30if most of your discussions

01:00:32no longer have sound.

01:00:34You will not miss any important message

01:00:36but you will not have to filter tons of messages

01:00:38that are not intended for you.

01:00:40Thanks to eMessage

01:00:42emojis have also benefited

01:00:44from a whole new update.

01:00:46I'm talking about 11 new hairstyles

01:00:48and 19 new hairstyles

01:00:50to personalize your emojis.

01:00:52You can send hugs

01:00:54and blush with brand new stickers.

01:00:56The Jiggle mode

01:00:58has also changed.

01:01:00To activate it on iOS 14

01:01:02press your finger on an empty space

01:01:04in your screen and voila!

01:01:06All icons in the application

01:01:08You can delete an application

01:01:10or move it in the library

01:01:12by simply clicking on the little minus sign.

01:01:14To leave the Jiggle mode

01:01:16touch an empty space

01:01:18or click on the big circular button at the bottom.

01:01:22This mode can also help you

01:01:24hide pages that you do not really use.

01:01:26To switch to Jiggle mode

01:01:28press the little bar with the dots at the bottom

01:01:30and you will see a screen

01:01:32with all your pages displayed separately.

01:01:34Unhide the pages you want to hide

01:01:36then on finish and voila!

01:01:38To retrieve one of these pages

01:01:40do the same thing but check the page you need.

01:01:46Supermarket carts have a loop

01:01:48for a good reason.

01:01:50You don't want to leave your jacket in your cart

01:01:52next to a net of onions and potatoes,

01:01:54do you? Hang it on the ring.

01:01:56It is made to help you organize your cart.

01:01:58These also have

01:02:00another storage area at the bottom.

01:02:02When your cart is full,

01:02:04you can put a small basket

01:02:06for additional purchases.

01:02:08Lift the metal rod,

01:02:10put your basket on the horizontal bar

01:02:12above the wheels

01:02:14and secure it with its hooks.

01:02:16If you have parsley stuck between your teeth,

01:02:18try this trick.

01:02:20It can be difficult to remove it

01:02:22with loose dental floss.

01:02:24You need more tension,

01:02:26so tie a knot.

01:02:28The stripes on the toothpaste

01:02:30may seem a bit strange.

01:02:32The leading toothpaste brand

01:02:34has added blue stripes

01:02:36to indicate that its toothpaste

01:02:38had a double action.

01:02:40White toothpaste pads

01:02:42work just as well.

01:02:44However, the blue hairs

01:02:46on your toothbrush are there

01:02:48for a good reason.

01:02:50They gradually lose their color

01:02:52over time.

01:02:54When the blue has disappeared,

01:02:56it is time to change your toothbrush.

01:02:58Have you ever noticed

01:03:00that your toothbrush

01:03:02is a bit dirty?

01:03:04A drop of oil will open

01:03:06and close much more easily.

01:03:08These edges on the edge

01:03:10of the coins are not there for nothing.

01:03:12Previously, we rounded the edges

01:03:14and melted them to create

01:03:16new pieces.

01:03:18But thanks to these patterns,

01:03:20it is easy to see

01:03:22if someone cut the edges.

01:03:24If you have trouble calling an orange,

01:03:26here is another method.

01:03:28This little metal piece

01:03:30that you see at the orifice

01:03:32of your favorite cream

01:03:34is there for a reason.

01:03:36These tubes are usually sealed

01:03:38with aluminum foil.

01:03:40So unless you want to break

01:03:42your nails trying to open them,

01:03:44turn the cap over and push it.

01:03:46The little rubber disc

01:03:48under each metal bottle cap

01:03:50is not used to reveal

01:03:52if you have won soda

01:03:54for the rest of your life.

01:03:56The rubber disc

01:03:58keeps the gas inside

01:04:00until you drink it.

01:04:02If you use the blue part

01:04:04of your eraser to erase

01:04:06from the pen,

01:04:08your notebooks will probably

01:04:10be full of holes.

01:04:12The blue side will be used

01:04:14to erase on much thicker paper.

01:04:16It works with pencil

01:04:18and even ink,

01:04:20provided that the paper

01:04:22is thick enough.

01:04:24If you want to have a

01:04:26classy drink,

01:04:28put your thumb

01:04:30in the indentation

01:04:32and pour.

01:04:34On the wine bottles,

01:04:36this is called the spitting.

01:04:38These little sweets

01:04:40of the local café

01:04:42only ask to be opened

01:04:44differently.

01:04:46Look how happy they are!

01:04:48Try to tear the packaging

01:04:50in the middle by opening it.

01:04:52No more sugar on your fingers,

01:04:54no more little paper hanging,

01:04:56and your coffee is also happier.

01:04:58The packaging of the cotton discs

01:05:00has a string that allows you

01:05:02to hook it to a hook in your bathroom.

01:05:04But you don't need to loosen

01:05:06and tighten the string

01:05:08every time you take a disc.

01:05:10Look at the bottom,

01:05:12there is a pre-cut line.

01:05:14Tear it to open it, and voila!

01:05:16The door handles are usually

01:05:18made of brass, bronze

01:05:20so that the germs

01:05:22don't spread.

01:05:24In a few hours, the bad germs

01:05:26are gone.

01:05:28But don't forget to wash your hands

01:05:30anyway.

01:05:32The bottles have a long neck

01:05:34for a good reason.

01:05:36You should hold the neck

01:05:38and not the bottle

01:05:40if you want to enjoy

01:05:42a good fresh drink.

01:05:44The same goes for the glasses

01:05:46on foot.

01:05:48You can also

01:05:50put them together.

01:05:52No one can open your bag.

01:05:54You don't have a padlock with you?

01:05:56You can also put them together

01:05:58with a string or a trombone

01:06:00or anything that can prevent

01:06:02the pickpockets from succeeding.

01:06:04This little button at the level

01:06:06of your neck on your shirt

01:06:08is used to hold your tie in place.

01:06:10It shouldn't come off.

01:06:12Shoe manufacturers

01:06:14care about their customers,

01:06:16so it's a good idea

01:06:18to put your tie

01:06:20in the additional hole

01:06:22by inserting the tie

01:06:24upside down.

01:06:26Cross them and make them

01:06:28go through the loops.

01:06:30Now make your little knot

01:06:32as usual and run.

01:06:34If you find small bags

01:06:36of silica gel in your bags,

01:06:38shoes or others,

01:06:40don't throw them away.

01:06:42They're there to absorb

01:06:44the silica gel.

01:06:46Here's a tip.

01:06:48Don't apply it all over your hair,

01:06:50but only on the roots.

01:06:52The created foam will flow

01:06:54along your hair.

01:06:56The margins left in notebooks

01:06:58are not made to take extra notes

01:07:00or to practice making emojis.

01:07:02They were invented to protect

01:07:04the individual's work.

01:07:06We used to live among

01:07:08lots of hungry rats.

01:07:10They devoured the paper.

01:07:12The American goblets

01:07:14are a key element

01:07:16for any party.

01:07:18But they also have the advantage

01:07:20of being a green-doser

01:07:22to balance the drinks.

01:07:24The bottom line

01:07:26indicates 30 ml.

01:07:28The second one is 148 ml.

01:07:30The third one is 355 ml.

01:07:32If you like to put milk

01:07:34in your tea,

01:07:36try this next time.

01:07:38Pour it by putting the hole

01:07:40in the top.

01:07:42It's easier to control.

01:07:44The headrests are comfortable

01:07:46and detachable

01:07:48for your safety.

01:07:50If you remove the headrest,

01:07:52you'll see two metal bars.

01:07:54If you're stuck or locked in a car,

01:07:56you can remove the bars

01:07:58to break the glass and escape.

01:08:00The buttons on women's shirts

01:08:02are on the left,

01:08:04even though 85% of people

01:08:06are right-handed.

01:08:08Fortuné's wife had housemaids

01:08:10to help her get dressed.

01:08:12So for her,

01:08:14having buttons on the left

01:08:16was easier.

01:08:18The little tab

01:08:20on your rearview mirror

01:08:22has a real function.

01:08:24You can hang your deodorant,

01:08:26a big stuffed dog,

01:08:28maybe an emoji.

01:08:30But it's mainly to switch

01:08:32from day to night mode.

01:08:34When night falls,

01:08:36it's attached to the machine

01:08:38that makes the ice cream

01:08:40after the sauce and garnish

01:08:42have been poured.

01:08:44The spoon mixes them

01:08:46directly in your skin.

01:08:48It saves time for the employees

01:08:50and water

01:08:52because they don't need

01:08:54to clean the machine

01:08:56after each use.

01:08:58The wooden belts

01:09:00are so high-end

01:09:02that they look

01:09:04like they were made

01:09:06in the 80s.

01:09:08A little bonus?

01:09:10Put dried orange peels

01:09:12in your closet.

01:09:14No more myths

01:09:16will come

01:09:18from home.

01:09:20Here's how to protect

01:09:22your bank card

01:09:24from potential scams.

01:09:26Take a marker

01:09:28and mask the last four numbers.

01:09:30You can also use

01:09:32a little bit of water

01:09:34and hold it a few centimetres

01:09:36from the mark.

01:09:38Plug it in over medium heat

01:09:40for a few minutes

01:09:42to evaporate the trace.

01:09:44If a discoloured trace

01:09:46remains,

01:09:48mix the same amount

01:09:50of vinegar and olive oil

01:09:52in a bowl.

01:09:54Apply it on the marked area

01:09:56and rub until the mark

01:09:58disappears, then wipe.

01:10:00Let it sit overnight

01:10:02to dissolve the cooking residue

01:10:04and in the morning

01:10:06empty the pan.

01:10:08This way it will be easier

01:10:10to remove the grease.

01:10:12Imagine you're on holiday

01:10:14and your shirt is all

01:10:16wrinkled in your suitcase.

01:10:18You need it tonight

01:10:20but the hotel

01:10:22doesn't have iron to iron.

01:10:24Don't panic.

01:10:26Hang the shirt in the bathroom

01:10:28to cool it down.

01:10:30OK, it won't be perfect

01:10:32but it will be much better

01:10:34and without any effort.

01:10:36The game will start

01:10:38from one moment to the next

01:10:40and you'll run out of batteries

01:10:42for your remote.

01:10:44You can use a smaller battery

01:10:46that fits easily inside.

01:10:48Now take some aluminium foil

01:10:50and cool it.

01:10:52Place the aluminium ball

01:10:54in the negative or flat end

01:10:56of the aluminium foil.

01:10:58Now you can turn on the TV.

01:11:00When your tongs get damaged

01:11:02and the piece of plastic

01:11:04gets out of its hole,

01:11:06it's probably a sign

01:11:08that you need a new pair.

01:11:10But there is a way

01:11:12to extend their lifespan.

01:11:14Put the piece back in its hole

01:11:16and attach the pliers

01:11:18that you can find

01:11:20on the bread bags.

01:11:22The pliers will provide

01:11:24an extra support.

01:11:26Now you can detach it

01:11:28from the box.

01:11:30But how do you take it off

01:11:32without tearing the paper?

01:11:34Grab the two ends

01:11:36of the adhesive tape.

01:11:38If you pull slowly,

01:11:40the tape will stretch

01:11:42and separate from the paper

01:11:44without tearing it.

01:11:46Fresh bags are perfect

01:11:48to keep things dry

01:11:50but it would be great

01:11:52if you could make a big bag

01:11:54big enough to protect

01:11:56a keyboard for example.

01:11:58You don't need to carry

01:12:00your keys in your hand

01:12:02for your next jogging

01:12:04but rather in your pocket.

01:12:06Take an elastic

01:12:08and tie it around

01:12:10the pocket inside

01:12:12so your keys won't fall.

01:12:14You broke your key

01:12:16in the door.

01:12:18It's stuck in there.

01:12:20Use a hot glue stick

01:12:22to heat up the end

01:12:24with a lighter.

01:12:26Once it's hot enough

01:12:28to melt, put the glue

01:12:30in the lock hole.

01:12:32The melted glue will

01:12:34enter the available space

01:12:36covering part of the key.

01:12:38Once it's cooled,

01:12:40it will stick firmly

01:12:42to the end of the key

01:12:44that you just need to remove.

01:12:46If you have to siphon liquid

01:12:48to avoid putting it in your mouth,

01:12:50dip one end in the liquid

01:12:52and hold the other end up

01:12:54with your thumb.

01:12:56Now shake from top to bottom.

01:12:58This shaking movement

01:13:00will push the liquid up

01:13:02a little more each time.

01:13:04Once it's reached the top,

01:13:06lower the hose

01:13:08and let gravity do the rest.

01:13:10You forgot your car keys

01:13:12in your locked car.

01:13:14It's an old model

01:13:16to unlock the lock,

01:13:18but it's long and complicated.

01:13:20Or you can use an adhesive tape.

01:13:22Make about 20 strips

01:13:2460 cm long,

01:13:26stick them on the window

01:13:28leaving enough room

01:13:30for the tape to stick.

01:13:32Then, with a friend,

01:13:34take the ends of the adhesive tape

01:13:36and, holding them together,

01:13:38pull the big tape down.

01:13:40The force exerted will allow

01:13:42the window to lower enough

01:13:44to close the door.

01:13:46When you put big screws

01:13:48in hard wood,

01:13:50your old drill may not be powerful enough,

01:13:52which leaves them half-dented

01:13:54before they declare bankruptcy.

01:13:56So take a block of wax

01:13:58and rub the edges of your screws with it.

01:14:00The wax works like a lubricant.

01:14:02It melts when it's hot

01:14:04and will facilitate the passage of the screw.

01:14:06You went camping,

01:14:08but you didn't bring anything

01:14:10to light the barbecue.

01:14:12Fill it with water

01:14:14and close it carefully

01:14:16forming a ball.

01:14:18Hold it above where you want to

01:14:20capture the sun's light.

01:14:22The water bag will work like a magnifying glass

01:14:24lighting the barbecue.

01:14:26Of course, it has to be a sunny day.

01:14:28You also forgot your plug

01:14:30or your plug broke in half

01:14:32in the gutter.

01:14:34With a lighter,

01:14:36heat the top of the bottle.

01:14:38The heat will slightly dilate the glass

01:14:40from the top.

01:14:42You put superglue on your fingers again?

01:14:44Take some salt

01:14:46and pour it on your glued fingers.

01:14:48Put your fingers under the water

01:14:50and rub gently.

01:14:52The mixture will dissolve the glue

01:14:54and free you in no time.

01:14:56When you hang a painting,

01:14:58it may be impossible to find the right distance

01:15:00between the wall and the painting.

01:15:02Place a fork upside down

01:15:04and insert it so that the nail

01:15:06can slide between the central teeth of the fork.

01:15:08You need a long handle

01:15:10separated from the wall

01:15:12so that you can slide the string

01:15:14more easily on the nail.

01:15:16Once the painting is perfectly balanced,

01:15:18just remove the fork.

01:15:20You have to put a cake in a box

01:15:22but if you want to take it out later,

01:15:24you risk damaging it.

01:15:26Place the lid upside down

01:15:28and place the cake directly on the lid.

01:15:30This one now serves as a base for the container,

01:15:32which will greatly simplify

01:15:34the access to the cake,

01:15:36and will allow you to cut it into pieces.

01:15:38You can empty the water

01:15:40from the large containers and bottles

01:15:42by forming a whirl.

01:15:44By shaking it in circles,

01:15:46you will create a kind of vortex

01:15:48that will allow the air to inflate

01:15:50in the container while the water flows.

01:15:52It's much faster than the usual method.

01:15:54There is an easier and less dirty way

01:15:56to remove the shells from a hard-boiled egg.

01:15:58Once the egg is cooked,

01:16:00break the shell at both ends

01:16:02by tapping it.

01:16:04Remove the shell by scratching it.

01:16:06Then blow directly with your mouth

01:16:08on the open end.

01:16:10The force of the air will push the egg

01:16:12and dilate the shell,

01:16:14which will allow it to come out without damage.

01:16:16If the hinges

01:16:18of your laptop break,

01:16:20you know that their repair

01:16:22can cost several hundred euros.

01:16:24A much cheaper solution

01:16:26is to buy a frame

01:16:28and stick it to the back of the screen.

01:16:30You dropped a small jewel

01:16:32on the ground

01:16:34and you think you'll never find it.

01:16:36Take a sock and place it

01:16:38on the end of the hose of your vacuum cleaner.

01:16:40Suck the area well

01:16:42and check the hose regularly.

01:16:44You will end up finding your jewel

01:16:46at the end of this one.

01:16:48You drilled a hole in the wall,

01:16:50but the hole is now too big.

01:16:52Remove the screw and find a slightly

01:16:54shorter and thinner object.

01:16:56If you don't have a hinge,

01:16:58small pieces of plastic,

01:17:00or even toothpicks will fit perfectly.

01:17:02Slide this object

01:17:04inside the hole.

01:17:06It will fill the space

01:17:08so that the screw can be reinserted

01:17:10safely.

01:17:12When you take out the debris,

01:17:14you may end up with

01:17:16garbage juice on you.

01:17:18A good way to avoid this

01:17:20is to place old paper

01:17:22at the bottom of the bag.

01:17:24This not only absorbs

01:17:26all liquids from food

01:17:28but also smells bad in the bin.

01:17:30Nobody likes mosquitos

01:17:32and insecticides are expensive.

01:17:34A good alternative

01:17:36is to take a plastic bottle

01:17:38and cut the top

01:17:40where it takes the shape of a funnel.

01:17:42After removing it,

01:17:44turn it over and place it

01:17:46inside the bottle.

01:17:48Mix two cups of hot water

01:17:50with two tablespoons of sugar.

01:17:52The insects will be attracted

01:17:54by the preparation inside

01:17:56All you have to do

01:17:58is sit down and relax

01:18:00without fear of getting stung.

01:18:02Pockets are usually

01:18:04placed on the left side of the shirt

01:18:06because most people are right-handed.

01:18:08Is this a myth or a reality?

01:18:10It's a reality.

01:18:12Many products are made

01:18:14for right-handed people.

01:18:16Left-handed people know it.

01:18:18For example, in public transport,

01:18:20have you ever noticed that the scanner

01:18:22that validates your transport title

01:18:24is the same thing for everyday objects

01:18:26and household appliances?

01:18:28Chisels, tweezers, bottles

01:18:30and many other items of the same type

01:18:32are mainly designed

01:18:34for right-handed people.

01:18:36The same goes for shirt pockets.

01:18:38Although some people

01:18:40use their two hands indifferently

01:18:42or change their preference

01:18:44according to the task to be accomplished,

01:18:46the vast majority of people are right-handed.

01:18:48According to a study,

01:18:5075 to 90% of the world population

01:18:52is 10% left-handed.

01:18:54This means that having a pocket

01:18:56on the left side rather than on the right

01:18:58is more convenient for most people.

01:19:00Do the experiment yourself.

01:19:02You have to make an effort

01:19:04to reach the pocket

01:19:06on the right side of your shirt.

01:19:08However, your gesture is quite natural

01:19:10when it comes to looking for something

01:19:12in your left pocket.

01:19:14Eating more protein

01:19:16allows you to have bigger muscles.

01:19:18What do you think?

01:19:20Myth or reality?

01:19:22It's a myth.

01:19:24It's true that eating protein

01:19:26is essential to have big muscles.

01:19:28Protein, in fact,

01:19:30are in a way the building blocks of your body.

01:19:32And yet, eating more

01:19:34than what you need

01:19:36is completely useless.

01:19:38Everyone should drink

01:19:408 glasses of water a day.

01:19:42Do you think it's a myth or a reality?

01:19:44It's a myth.

01:19:46So don't blame yourself for drinking

01:19:488 glasses of water a day.

01:19:50It's not a magic number.

01:19:52The need for hydration

01:19:54varies from person to person.

01:19:56The amount of water you drink

01:19:58depends on your activity

01:20:00and your physical habits.

01:20:02The temperature of the place

01:20:04where you live

01:20:06also affects your needs.

01:20:08If you live in a hot region,

01:20:10you sweat more

01:20:12and you have to drink more water.

01:20:14The soup, coffee, tea, fruit

01:20:16and carrots are rich in sugar.

01:20:18So you should avoid eating them.

01:20:20If it's true, we should warn rabbits.

01:20:22What do you think?

01:20:24Myth or reality?

01:20:26It's a myth.

01:20:28Carrots contain about 85% water.

01:20:30Half a kilo of cooked carrots

01:20:32contain only 3 teaspoons of sugar.

01:20:34Compared to the amount of sugar

01:20:36in your favorite desserts,

01:20:38it's nothing.

01:20:40In addition, carrots are rich

01:20:42in phytochemicals

01:20:44People of the Middle Ages

01:20:46believed that the Earth was flat.

01:20:48Is it a myth or a reality?

01:20:50Obviously, the flat Earth

01:20:52is a myth.

01:20:54But the story built around this myth

01:20:56is also a myth.

01:20:58At that time,

01:21:00the whole world doubted

01:21:02the spherical shape of the Earth.

01:21:04It made the same observations

01:21:06that we make today.

01:21:08For example, people of the Middle Ages

01:21:10could see, just like us,

01:21:12that the Vikings wore

01:21:14horned helmets.

01:21:16Is it a myth or a reality?

01:21:18The image is well known.

01:21:20No Viking warrior without his horned helmet.

01:21:22But in reality, there were no horns

01:21:24on their helmets.

01:21:26We have not found any proof of this.

01:21:28Detox juice purifies your body.

01:21:30Is it a reality or a myth?

01:21:32It's a myth.

01:21:34What is commonly called detox

01:21:36doesn't work like that.

01:21:38It's your internal organs

01:21:40that clean your body.

01:21:42The rat, the liver, the kidneys,

01:21:44but especially the liver.

01:21:46Your body purifies itself permanently

01:21:48naturally.

01:21:50No one needs to drink juices

01:21:52to eliminate these toxins.

01:21:54Nuts are malnourished.

01:21:56What do you think?

01:21:58Myth or reality?

01:22:00You're right, it's a myth.

01:22:02Nuts are full of healthy fats.

01:22:04They are excellent for your heart

01:22:06and your other organs.

01:22:08On average,

01:22:1038 kg of textile waste per year and per person.

01:22:12Is it a reality or a myth?

01:22:14It's a reality.

01:22:16Imagine all these waste.

01:22:18When a person throws away his clothes,

01:22:20they don't simply volatilize.

01:22:22All these articles are sent

01:22:24in huge discharges.

01:22:26Giving these clothes or reselling them

01:22:28in second-hand stores is much more ecological.

01:22:30You've probably heard of these

01:22:32miraculous laundry tips

01:22:34supposed to make your clothes super clean

01:22:36like new.

01:22:38What if these laundry tips were just myths?

01:22:40Here are three of them.

01:22:42Shirts must be buttoned

01:22:44when you put them in your machine.

01:22:46Is it true?

01:22:48It's a myth.

01:22:50It's better to keep the zipper closed

01:22:52so that their teeth don't stick to the fabric

01:22:54of your other clothes.

01:22:56But attaching the buttons to a shirt

01:22:58can dilate the buttonholes.

01:23:00In the long run, the buttons will start to slip

01:23:02and your shirt will be good to throw away.

01:23:04Using hot water is the best way

01:23:06to clean them.

01:23:08Is it a myth or a reality?

01:23:10It's still a myth.

01:23:12You want to throw away your clothes from germs.

01:23:14However, hot water alone

01:23:16won't be enough.

01:23:18Nowadays, many detergents are perfectly capable

01:23:20of cleaning our clothes

01:23:22in cold or warm water.

01:23:24You have to clean the stains

01:23:26on the outside of the fabric.

01:23:28Is it true?

01:23:30Most people apply water and soap

01:23:32starting from the outside of the fabric.

01:23:34But that's not the best solution.

01:23:36It's better to start from the inside.

01:23:38The stain can sink deeper

01:23:40if you treat it from the outside.

01:23:42Try to bring the stain up to the surface

01:23:44rather than pushing it

01:23:46inwards.

01:23:48Listening to music

01:23:50is effective in learning a new language.

01:23:52Is it a myth or a reality?

01:23:54It's a reality.

01:23:56Scientists have declared that listening to a song

01:23:58and humming at the same time

01:24:00can help us learn a language.

01:24:02Many people have trouble

01:24:04learning grammar rules.

01:24:06However, in our daily lives,

01:24:08we don't always follow them.

01:24:10Songs can help us

01:24:12memorize common expressions.

01:24:14Scientists have also claimed

01:24:16that music allows us to remember new words

01:24:18and enrich our vocabulary.

01:24:20Let me give you an example.

01:24:22Do you remember your first year of school?

01:24:24Yes, the alphabet song.

01:24:26Are you a morning person

01:24:28or a night bird?

01:24:30In any case, you need to be aware

01:24:32of the realities and myths

01:24:34about sleep.

01:24:36A person managed to stay awake

01:24:38for 11 consecutive days.

01:24:40Do you think it's possible

01:24:42or is it an urban legend?

01:24:44It's a reality.

01:24:46Randy Gardner set the record

01:24:48for the longest sleep.

01:24:50It was a scientific experiment

01:24:52conducted by Dr. William C. Demond

01:24:54who studied sleep at Stanford University.

01:24:56This doctor recorded and monitored

01:24:58Randy Gardner's sleep activity

01:25:00and Gardner managed to stay awake

01:25:02for 11 days and 25 minutes.

01:25:04Your body

01:25:06ends up getting used to less sleep.

01:25:08Myth or reality?

01:25:10It's a myth.

01:25:12Many studies show that your body

01:25:14and your brain in particular

01:25:16can't get used to less sleep.

01:25:18Did you notice that after a few nights

01:25:20of insufficient sleep,

01:25:22you started to feel more tired during the day?

01:25:24Your body is trying to adapt

01:25:26to its lack of rest.

01:25:28Long-term lack of sleep affects your performance,

01:25:30your concentration

01:25:32and your decision-making during the day.

01:25:34Many adults

01:25:36only need 5 hours of sleep or less.

01:25:38Is it true?

01:25:40It's very easy. It's a myth.

01:25:42National Sleep Foundation experts

01:25:44recommend that adults

01:25:46sleep between 7 and 9 hours per night.

01:25:48Some people have a genetic mutation

01:25:50that allows them to wake up

01:25:52in full form after a short night of sleep.

01:25:54But these people are exceptions.

01:25:56One in four million.

01:25:58People who are able to sleep

01:26:00anywhere or at any time

01:26:02are said to be good sleepers.

01:26:04What do you think?

01:26:06Myth or reality?

01:26:08It's a myth.

01:26:10A good sleeper sleeps sufficiently

01:26:12and at regular hours.

01:26:14Cats spend two-thirds of their lives sleeping.

01:26:16Is it true in your opinion?

01:26:18It probably won't surprise you.

01:26:20Did you answer

01:26:22most of these questions correctly?

01:26:50It's a myth.

01:28:40It's a myth.

01:28:42Have you ever wondered why oranges in supermarkets

01:28:44are most often in red mesh bags?

01:28:46It's a tip

01:28:48for the fruits to have a brighter color

01:28:50which encourages you to buy them.

01:28:52A bonus tip,

01:28:54don't throw away this mesh bag.

01:28:56Tie it up to have enough to cook your pans

01:28:58and clean your sink, your kitchen appliances

01:29:00as well as your dishes.

01:29:04You can see that golf balls

01:29:06don't have a perfectly round shape.

01:29:08Their surface is covered with many small sockets

01:29:10that golf balls didn't always have.

01:29:12At some point, experienced golfers

01:29:14started to notice that with time,

01:29:16old balls with imperfections

01:29:18such as notches and bumps

01:29:20could fly further.

01:29:22These roughness created turbulence

01:29:24in the air around the golf ball

01:29:26which ended up reducing its drag.

01:29:28Manufacturers therefore started

01:29:30to produce balls with sockets

01:29:32so that they could go further and faster.

01:29:36You may have noticed

01:29:38that golf balls sometimes had small notches

01:29:40on the top of the sockets.

01:29:42This is more hygienic

01:29:44because when you break it,

01:29:46you can press the socket on it

01:29:48and it won't touch anything else.

01:29:50Another safety device

01:29:52that you will find in your car

01:29:54is a strap on your rearview mirror.

01:29:56With it, you can change the position of the mirror

01:29:58to avoid being blinded

01:30:00if there is a car behind you

01:30:02driving in the middle of the headlight.

01:30:04This small strap helps you

01:30:06to avoid being blinded.

01:30:08This function appeared in the 1930s

01:30:10but only at the beginning of the 1970s

01:30:12it became a standard equipment

01:30:14for most cars and other trucks.

01:30:16Do you see this little hole

01:30:18on your iPhone

01:30:20next to the rear-facing camera?

01:30:22It's a microphone.

01:30:24It's there so that your phone

01:30:26can record the sound

01:30:28when you rotate your camera.

01:30:30Some cables have a thick cylinder

01:30:32at the end of the cord.

01:30:34It's a magnetic iron oxide

01:30:36that stops electromagnetic interference

01:30:38at high frequencies.

01:30:40Do you see, for example,

01:30:42this annoying static noise

01:30:44that you get if you approach

01:30:46your phone too close to a speaker?

01:30:48It interferes with your call.

01:30:50That's why cables with thick cylinders

01:30:52are rather useful

01:30:54because they prevent this kind of thing.

01:30:56Do you know why almost all

01:30:58luggage bags and backpacks

01:31:00have two lightning fasteners?

01:31:02Because it's easier to open it this way.

01:31:04But that's not all.

01:31:06You can also lock these two

01:31:08fasteners together

01:31:10so that the stuff inside your bags

01:31:12is safe.

01:31:14You know how public toilets

01:31:16and shopping centers

01:31:18have these large spaces

01:31:20at the bottom of the door?

01:31:22It's mainly for better air circulation.

01:31:24This type of door also allows

01:31:26you to clean the toilets more easily

01:31:28or check if they are occupied

01:31:30If your lock is broken,

01:31:32you still have a way to escape.

01:31:34You can simply crawl out.

01:31:36Have you ever noticed

01:31:38these plastic tips on the cutters?

01:31:40The blade also has a notch

01:31:42which indicates that you can

01:31:44renew it several times,

01:31:46always with sharp edges.

01:31:48You can separate these pieces of blade

01:31:50thanks to these plastic tips.

01:31:52Then you just have to move the sliding piece

01:31:54to push this new blade forward.

01:31:56If you have already taken a moment

01:31:58to look for Lambda,

01:32:00especially its foldable section,

01:32:02you have probably noticed

01:32:04these metal loops that protrude.

01:32:06They are designed to protect the items

01:32:08you carry in your trunk.

01:32:10You can use them to hang bags

01:32:12containing soft items,

01:32:14such as bread that you do not want

01:32:16to accidentally crush with heavier products

01:32:18or things more easily breakable

01:32:20like eggs.

01:32:22Many coffee cups have

01:32:24curved notches on their bottom.

01:32:26You can place them against

01:32:28the drawer of your dishwasher.

01:32:30This way, water will not accumulate

01:32:32inside and your favorite cup

01:32:34will be completely dry

01:32:36when you take it out of here.

01:32:38If you are a fan of McFlurry,

01:32:40you have probably already noticed

01:32:42that there was a square hole

01:32:44in the handle of their spoon.

01:32:46It is there so that you can

01:32:48attach it to this special machine

01:32:50that mixes the ice cream

01:32:52with your favorite toppings.

01:32:54And we give you this spoon

01:32:56to minimize damage

01:32:58during the process.

01:33:00Pretty cool, isn't it?

01:33:02An ordinary can of milk

01:33:04usually has a bump on the side.

01:33:06Some may see

01:33:08a random design choice,

01:33:10but this bump fulfills several objectives.

01:33:12One of them is to inflate

01:33:14if there is an accumulation of gas.

01:33:16This happens when your milk has turned.

01:33:18So you don't even need to taste it

01:33:20to check.

01:33:22It is there so that the bottle

01:33:24does not explode

01:33:26if you drop it accidentally.

01:33:28It allows a space of expansion

01:33:30that takes in the sudden pressure

01:33:32that occurs when you drop the bottle.

01:33:34The dental floss.

01:33:36It is obviously important

01:33:38to take care of your teeth

01:33:40and it is easy to guess

01:33:42how to use it.

01:33:44But it is also great in the kitchen

01:33:46because it is a very precise cake cutter.

01:33:48Much more effective than an ordinary knife.

01:33:50Most kitchen scissors

01:33:52have a dental opening right here in the center

01:33:54where the blades and handles meet.

01:33:56This is something you can use

01:33:58to trim difficult herbs like thyme or rosemary.

01:34:00Thanks to this opening,

01:34:02you don't need to remove the leaves by hand.

01:34:04But you can tear them all

01:34:06in one move.

01:34:08A large part of the yoghurt

01:34:10or flan skins are provided

01:34:12with an aluminum foil lid.

01:34:14And in most cases,

01:34:16you can use this lid

01:34:18to store your food.

01:34:20Just take it off

01:34:22and after a few simple folds,

01:34:24you will have a perfect spoon

01:34:26for your four-hour meal.

01:34:28How many hidden functions

01:34:30are there in your car

01:34:32that you have never heard of?

01:34:34Nowadays, most cars

01:34:36have a color code under their hood.

01:34:38It is thus much easier

01:34:40to know what to watch

01:34:42between two inspections.

01:34:44Like the gauge, the oil cap

01:34:46or even the brake fluid

01:34:48and the windshield washer fluid.

01:34:50For everything that is black or gray,

01:34:52you have to leave it to the mechanics.

01:34:54Have you ever seen a snowflake-shaped light

01:34:56on the dashboard of your car?

01:34:58It is not there to warn you

01:35:00about the arrival of winter holidays,

01:35:02if that's what you think.

01:35:04It is actually a sensor

01:35:06that indicates the outside ambient temperature.

01:35:08It turns on and shows the indicator

01:35:10when there is a danger to the road

01:35:12due to a sudden drop in temperature.

01:35:15Sometimes there is even a sound warning

01:35:17or a message on your dashboard

01:35:19warning you that the roads

01:35:21may be covered in ice

01:35:23so that you can adjust your speed

01:35:25or change tires if necessary.

01:35:28Most cars are also equipped

01:35:30with special devices for the summer,

01:35:32such as sun visors.

01:35:34Yours may have an additional bonus

01:35:36that you might want to discover.

01:35:38We all know that they turn

01:35:40to help the driver even when the sun

01:35:42does not shine from the front,

01:35:44but some of them can also deploy

01:35:46so that they can provide shade

01:35:48to a larger surface.

01:35:50If you see that yours is not extendable,

01:35:52there is a simple solution.

01:35:54Buy a sun visor extender.

01:35:56You can even find one online.

01:35:58It attaches to your sun visor

01:36:00or to your existing windows

01:36:02to offer better protection against the sun

01:36:04and better visibility.

01:36:06Let's discover some hidden features

01:36:08at home.

01:36:10Some of you may have noticed

01:36:12that there is a bad way

01:36:14to make ice in the freezer

01:36:16and that is because you probably

01:36:18do not use the ice tray properly.

01:36:20They have this particular shape

01:36:22because you have to fill the trays

01:36:24until there is a layer of water

01:36:26on top.

01:36:28This layer allows you to extract

01:36:30the ice cream from the tray

01:36:32more quickly because it breaks

01:36:34when you twist it and let

01:36:36each ice cream come out.

01:36:38If you find that the heat of your oven

01:36:40is too high or if you have to cook

01:36:42difficult dishes that require

01:36:44better temperature control,

01:36:46there is an easy way to adjust it.

01:36:48The buttons of your oven

01:36:50must be equipped with calibrating screws

01:36:52at the back.

01:36:54Remove the plastic button

01:36:56and adjust it according to your preferences.

01:36:58Make sure to unplug the oven

01:37:00from any power source before doing so.

01:37:02Do you know what your cook

01:37:04and your car have in common?

01:37:06They both have a lid that you can open

01:37:08if you need to take a look

01:37:10or if they need to be cleaned.

01:37:12If you look carefully at the top

01:37:14of your cooker, you will see two hinges

01:37:16located at the level of the rear edges.

01:37:18You can easily lift them

01:37:20and clean all the dirt

01:37:22that was stuck inside.

01:37:24Have you ever wondered

01:37:26why the glue does not stick

01:37:28inside the bottle?

01:37:30The answer is a little more complex

01:37:32depending on the type of glue,

01:37:34but the simple answer is that

01:37:36there is no air inside.

01:37:38PVA glue contains molecules

01:37:40called polymers and water.

01:37:42When the glue comes out,

01:37:44the water evaporates,

01:37:46leaving behind only the

01:37:48adhesive polymers.

01:37:50The situation is more or less

01:37:52the opposite with superglue.

01:37:54It contains a chemical product

01:37:56that solidifies as soon as it

01:37:58comes in contact with the water vapors

01:38:00present in the air.

01:38:02The PVA glue has a function

01:38:04that you can use for references

01:38:06and bibliography.

01:38:08This function is not only useful

01:38:10to keep a track of everything,

01:38:12but it also automatically

01:38:14puts all the corresponding information

01:38:16on the page.

01:38:18If you like to surround yourself

01:38:20with lots of plants inside,

01:38:22here is a simple way to know

01:38:24if they need to be watered.

01:38:26Put your finger in the soil.

01:38:28This should give you a better idea

01:38:30of how much water you need.

01:38:32If you put your finger in the soil

01:38:34and you feel that it is dry,

01:38:36the plant probably needs to be watered.

01:38:38However, this trick works better

01:38:40with small plants in pots

01:38:42because the depth is more limited.

01:38:44In any case, it is always preferable

01:38:46to look for the needs of the plant

01:38:48in terms of watering and sunlight

01:38:50before engaging in a project

01:38:52and always be careful

01:38:54not to damage its roots.

01:38:56Be honest.

01:38:58There are others that remain

01:39:00at the bottom of your closet

01:39:02and that you have probably forgotten.

01:39:04Here is an ingenious way

01:39:06to know which is which.

01:39:08To begin with,

01:39:10you have to turn all your belts

01:39:12upside down.

01:39:14If you really want to invest

01:39:16in this project,

01:39:18you can put pieces of tape

01:39:20on the belts

01:39:22and write the start date

01:39:24on each of them.

01:39:26After six months or a year,

01:39:28all the items that have not yet

01:39:30been returned

01:39:32must be donated

01:39:34or emptied.

01:39:36Another good way

01:39:38to use the belts

01:39:40to help you organize

01:39:42your wardrobe

01:39:44is to use them for your scarves.

01:39:46They will no longer be crumpled,

01:39:48but you will also be able

01:39:50to see them much better

01:39:52and have a clear view

01:39:54of your wardrobe.

01:39:56Especially during the change of season,

01:39:58you will buy empty

01:40:00storage bags.

01:40:02Then you just have to fold

01:40:04your clothes or other clothes

01:40:06like sheets or blankets,

01:40:08for example,

01:40:10and put them in the bags.

01:40:12Turn on your vacuum cleaner,

01:40:14put the tip on the bag seal

01:40:16and remove all the excess air from the bag.

01:40:18This will allow you to reduce

01:40:20the size of clothing storage

01:40:22to be clean, dry and without mites.

01:40:24If you have an empty storage bag

01:40:26and you are not yet sure

01:40:28if you want to recycle it,

01:40:30you can always turn it into a lamp.

01:40:32The steel storage bags

01:40:34are the most appropriate for this.

01:40:36You just have to cut a small hole

01:40:38at the bottom of the bag

01:40:40and place a lamp kit to hang

01:40:42in this place.

01:40:44You can even paint it by hand

01:40:46or with a pump

01:40:48if you need a particular color.

01:40:50Another way to store objects

01:40:52in the house is to use

01:40:54biscuit jars to store drying balls,

01:40:56but there is no limit here.

01:40:58You can also use

01:41:00drying sheets to dust

01:41:02the screens of your house,

01:41:04like those of computers,

01:41:06cell phones or TVs.

01:41:08These items are electrically charged

01:41:10and therefore generally attract

01:41:12a lot of dust particles.

01:41:14Drying sheets are designed

01:41:16to reduce static electricity adhesion,

01:41:18to eliminate dust,

01:41:20but also to keep it away

01:41:22for a longer period.

01:41:24Drying sheets are also useful

01:41:26if you have a bad day

01:41:28with your hair,

01:41:30believe it or not.

01:41:32They can help you tame

01:41:34rebellious wicks

01:41:36when your curls become uncontrollable.

01:41:38Pass one of these drying sheets

01:41:40from the root of your hair

01:41:42to the tip and you will be surprised.

01:41:44If you like the smell

01:41:46use one of these bars

01:41:48to make a clothes cooler.

01:41:50Place it in a fabric

01:41:52and then put it anywhere

01:41:54between your clothes.

01:41:56Your shirts will smell

01:41:58wonderfully good

01:42:00every time you take them

01:42:02and you can also save

01:42:04on softening.

01:42:06I don't know about your laundry,

01:42:08but mine loves to jump,

01:42:10I assure you.

01:42:12If yours tends to leave

01:42:14your clothes,

01:42:16you can level them

01:42:18with a pair of feet.

01:42:20Just lift the back of the device

01:42:22from the surface on which it rests

01:42:24so that it drops them

01:42:26and locks them in place

01:42:28once perfectly leveled.

01:42:30The next time you follow

01:42:32a recipe where you have to

01:42:34separate the egg yolks from the whites,

01:42:36try this.

01:42:38Peel a clove of garlic

01:42:40and rub your fingers with it.

01:42:42If you have to chop,

01:42:44pick up the yolk.

01:42:46Now you can marvel

01:42:48at the perfection

01:42:50with which it separates from the whites.

01:42:52If you have to scale hard eggs,

01:42:54there are two simple ways

01:42:56to do it.

01:42:58When you boil them,

01:43:00add a teaspoon of baking soda

01:43:02to the boiling water.

01:43:04This will make scaling

01:43:06much easier.

01:43:08You can also pass them

01:43:10through a sieve.

01:43:12The sides of the roads

01:43:14have rugged bands

01:43:16for a very important reason.

01:43:18Their main function

01:43:20is to alert the drivers

01:43:22to the steering wheel.

01:43:24When a car starts to deviate

01:43:26from the road,

01:43:28these tires pass on the bands

01:43:30and the noise wakes up the driver.

01:43:32The price tags or those

01:43:34that are stuck on the tupperware

01:43:36are easier to remove

01:43:38by blowing hot air

01:43:40directly on the tag

01:43:42for a minute or two.

01:43:44There you go,

01:43:46the tag will come off.

01:43:48White household appliances

01:43:50can turn yellow over time.

01:43:52To make them shine,

01:43:54use this simple trick.

01:43:56Apply decolorizing cream

01:43:58to the surface,

01:44:00then wrap the appliance

01:44:02in plastic and leave it

01:44:04like that all night.

01:44:06Removing a can

01:44:08can be difficult.

01:44:10You will probably tear

01:44:12a hole in the plastic

01:44:14and try to extract a can.

01:44:16In reality, the bottom

01:44:18of the cans was designed

01:44:20to make this step

01:44:22much easier.

01:44:24Take an old can

01:44:26and rub it on top

01:44:28of a new can of the pack.

01:44:30A circle of the exact size

01:44:32of a can will be cut.

01:44:34When you choose lemons,

01:44:36you never know how juicy they are.

01:44:38And often, when you bring them

01:44:40home and squeeze them,

01:44:42almost no juice comes out.

01:44:44Heat these lemons in the microwave

01:44:46for 30 seconds before opening them.

01:44:48You will see that the juice

01:44:50will come out much more easily.

01:44:52But be careful, they will be hot

01:44:54and you don't want to burn your hands.

01:44:56If you want to listen to music

01:44:58but you don't have a speaker,

01:45:00there is a solution.

01:45:02Take a can or a bowl.

01:45:04The sound will be instantly amplified.

01:45:06If you don't have a belt to wear

01:45:08but you still need to hang

01:45:10your shirt, this tip is for you.

01:45:12Most shirts have a tiny loop

01:45:14in the back between the shoulders.

01:45:16You can use it to suspend

01:45:18your shirt.

01:45:20Now imagine this nightmare scenario.

01:45:22Your phone has no battery

01:45:24but you are already late.

01:45:26In this case, activate airplane mode

01:45:28and your phone will charge

01:45:30100% in no time.

01:45:32You can stick a post-it on your

01:45:34laptop keyboard.

01:45:36This will help you remove

01:45:38small pieces of food and dust

01:45:40that get stuck between the keys.

01:45:42Avoid putting very hot food

01:45:44in plastic containers.

01:45:46Hot plastic releases all kinds

01:45:48of toxic chemical products.

01:45:50And you don't want food to absorb

01:45:52these substances, do you?

01:45:54What is more pleasant than a hot

01:45:56foam bath in the evening?

01:45:58Not only are they pretty and scented,

01:46:00they also keep hot water longer.

01:46:02This way, you can enjoy a long bath

01:46:04without them getting too cold.

01:46:06You go home

01:46:08with a craving for peanut butter

01:46:10and jam.

01:46:12But your peanut butter has a layer

01:46:14of oil on top.

01:46:16To avoid this the next time,

01:46:18put your peanut butter container

01:46:20upside down.

01:46:22Your screwdriver and your wrench

01:46:24can work together to remove

01:46:26the handle of your screwdriver

01:46:28with the wrench key and use it

01:46:30to apply more force.

01:46:32This method will also help you

01:46:34to reach more difficult areas.

01:46:36There is a reason why your

01:46:38coffee nozzle looks like a straw.

01:46:40It is pierced with holes because

01:46:42it reduces the amount of plastic

01:46:44that manufacturers use.

01:46:46In addition, they prevent the nozzle

01:46:48from floating. The holes are filled

01:46:50with coffee, which makes it heavier.

01:46:52Speaking of coffee, you should

01:46:54buy a product that is more than 18 months old.

01:46:56Make sure to look at the expiration date

01:46:58when you choose it.

01:47:00If you have ever had problems

01:47:02with the classic salt shaker and pepper shaker,

01:47:04here is a tip.

01:47:06Instead of shaking your arm to try

01:47:08to get the salt out of the container,

01:47:10rub the bottom of one of the containers

01:47:12with the bottom of the other.

01:47:14Grab the salt shaker and hold it

01:47:16so that the bottom is turned down.

01:47:18Now, while holding the pepper shaker

01:47:20vertically, rub the two bottoms

01:47:22against each other, creating a circular friction.

01:47:24After that, you can pour

01:47:26salt effortlessly.

01:47:28After a long day of hiking,

01:47:30your shoes can have a funny smell.

01:47:32If so, put dry tea bags

01:47:34inside your shoes

01:47:36and keep them in a dry place

01:47:38for a while.

01:47:40Tea bags will absorb the bad smells

01:47:42and make your shoes dry.

01:47:44If you broke the lanyard

01:47:46of your sandal while walking,

01:47:48there is a way to fix it.

01:47:50Only if you have a pair of tweezers

01:47:52with you.

01:47:54First, put the lanyard back in its hole.

01:47:56Then, attach the tweezers

01:47:58to the bottom of the lanyard.

01:48:00Your body needs a daily amount

01:48:02of vitamin C to strengthen

01:48:04your immune system.

01:48:06But oranges are a difficult fruit to peel.

01:48:08To prevent the juice from being

01:48:10pulverized on your face,

01:48:12start by cutting the upper

01:48:14and lower parts of the orange.

01:48:16Then, cut the skin vertically,

01:48:18slide your fingers under the opposite

01:48:20sides of the cut and open your orange.

01:48:22If it is difficult for you

01:48:24to determine the amount of detergent

01:48:26you need to wash your clothes,

01:48:28here is a tip.

01:48:30Generally, detergent caps

01:48:32are accompanied by marks

01:48:34that indicate the exact amount of liquid

01:48:36you need to use by washing.

01:48:38This will also allow your detergent

01:48:40to last longer.

01:48:42Indelible markers are not

01:48:44as indelible as you think.

01:48:46Let's say you used one

01:48:48thinking it was an ordinary marker

01:48:50to draw something on a white board.

01:48:52Good news!

01:48:54Your board is not marked forever.

01:48:56There is a way to save it.

01:48:58Take an ordinary marker

01:49:00and use it to draw over the lines

01:49:02left by the indelible marker.

01:49:04Let it rest for a moment

01:49:06so that the two markers mix.

01:49:08The ink of the ordinary marker

01:49:10contains a solvent that will

01:49:12dissolve the pigment contained in the indelible marker.

01:49:14Now, take a paper towel

01:49:16and rub the board to clean it.

01:49:18The marks of the two markers

01:49:20will be easily removed.

01:49:22If you have to peel fish,

01:49:24use the technique called whitening.

01:49:26First, heat some water

01:49:28and wait for it to boil.

01:49:30Soak the fish in the water

01:49:32for about 20 seconds,

01:49:34then place the fruits in a bowl

01:49:36with cold water and leave them

01:49:38for about 5 minutes.

01:49:40There you go!

01:49:42The plastic lid

01:49:44that covers your bowl

01:49:46can be used as an underglass.

01:49:48Remove the lid

01:49:50and place it on the table.

01:49:52The bottom of the bowl

01:49:54will perfectly fit

01:49:56the inner ring of the lid.

01:49:58Finish the task on the table.

01:50:00The escalators' handles

01:50:02are there for safety reasons.

01:50:04They remain motionless

01:50:06when the escalator is moving,

01:50:08which prevents people

01:50:10from falling off the escalator.

01:50:12If you pay close attention

01:50:14to the doors of the escalators,

01:50:16you will notice that they have

01:50:18a small hole.

01:50:20It is a lock hole

01:50:22and only the authorized staff

01:50:24has the key to it.

01:50:26They use it in case of emergency

01:50:28or during the maintenance

01:50:30of the device.

01:50:32Well, I know it's a bit cold

01:50:34or touchy, especially

01:50:36during a cold winter day,

01:50:38but the brass has antimicrobial properties.

01:50:40This means that it can help

01:50:42to eliminate germs

01:50:44and harmful bacteria,

01:50:46sometimes in less than 2 hours.

01:50:48In very busy places,

01:50:50it is even more useful.

01:50:52But since brass is much more expensive

01:50:54than other metals such as nickel and steel,

01:50:56we no longer see many door handles

01:50:58of this type nowadays.

01:51:00Speaking of beautiful polyvalent objects,

01:51:02most screwdrivers have a little secret

01:51:04that is unique to them.

01:51:06The buttons slide into a key

01:51:08to create more torque

01:51:10during the torsion,

01:51:12not to mention their usefulness

01:51:14when it comes to screws

01:51:16located in difficult places.

01:51:18There is a reason why

01:51:20women's button shirts

01:51:22are intended for left-handed

01:51:24and this has nothing to do

01:51:26with fashion.

01:51:28This practice dates back

01:51:30to the time when women

01:51:32helped ladies to dress

01:51:34It is therefore easy to imagine

01:51:36why this practice has persisted

01:51:38even if most people

01:51:40dress themselves nowadays.

01:51:42The next time you receive a package

01:51:44in your mail, take a look

01:51:46at the cutter.

01:51:48If it has diagonal lines on the blade,

01:51:50you will be able to benefit

01:51:52from a small advantage

01:51:54in terms of design.

01:51:56It turns out that these are

01:51:58blades that break.

01:52:00Continuously cutting cardboard

01:52:02can break to obtain

01:52:04a new super cutter.

01:52:06To do this, look at the small hole

01:52:08at the base of the tool,

01:52:10sometimes called the blade breaker.

01:52:12The people who got the idea

01:52:14of this brilliant invention

01:52:16are engineers who were inspired

01:52:18by the way chocolate bars

01:52:20are divided.

01:52:22Wait a minute,

01:52:24don't throw this cardboard package

01:52:26right away.

01:52:28It is likely that you have

01:52:30already used it,

01:52:32so you can keep it

01:52:34for other occasions.

01:52:36If you need to dry your phone

01:52:38or another electrical object,

01:52:40you can place it in a container

01:52:42next to the silicon gel

01:52:44to reduce damage.

01:52:46No need to be a mechanic

01:52:48to know when the tires

01:52:50of a standard car

01:52:52must be replaced

01:52:54because they are equipped

01:52:56with a well-designed indicator.

01:52:58The perpendicular bar is the sign

01:53:00that you have to make an appointment

01:53:02with your local car service

01:53:04because it is very likely

01:53:06that the tires have lost

01:53:08most of their traction

01:53:10and that they are no longer safe

01:53:12for driving.

01:53:14The upper corners of the windshield

01:53:16of a car have textured black dots

01:53:18integrated at the edge of the glass.

01:53:20This detail is not there

01:53:22for design reasons.

01:53:24It is a coated coating,

01:53:26which reduces the watertightness

01:53:28of the UV rays.

01:53:30It also allows you to hide

01:53:32and create a coarser surface

01:53:34for the glue used

01:53:36to put the window in place.

01:53:38Every time you hit the road,

01:53:40check if there is a small bar

01:53:42under the rearview mirror of your car.

01:53:44I bet you didn't know

01:53:46that it was there to help

01:53:48the rearview mirror

01:53:50switch from day vision

01:53:52to night vision.

01:53:54These manual rearview mirrors

01:53:56were invented in the 1930s,

01:53:58but they became the norm

01:54:00in the 1970s.

01:54:02When you are in the car,

01:54:04take a look at the headrests

01:54:06because you probably don't know

01:54:08that they have a hidden function.

01:54:10Of course, they can be adjusted

01:54:12to suit all sizes of passengers

01:54:14so that they benefit from adequate

01:54:16head and neck support.

01:54:18The hidden feature is

01:54:20that they are detachable

01:54:22so that if you ever get stuck

01:54:24in a car and you have to get out

01:54:26quickly, these bars can be very useful

01:54:28to break the car's windows.

01:54:30So, you are driving around

01:54:32and you suddenly run out of gas.

01:54:34What I am going to describe to you

01:54:36looks more like a joke

01:54:38than a real situation

01:54:40likely to occur.

01:54:42But what happens if you are in such a hurry

01:54:44that you accidentally leave

01:54:46with the gasoline gun

01:54:48still in the tank?

01:54:50Don't worry,

01:54:52they are equipped with a separation device

01:54:54that allows the pipe to be detached

01:54:56when it is removed with sufficient force.

01:54:58Initially designed

01:55:00at the beginning of the 20th century

01:55:02to be worn exclusively by basketball players,

01:55:04baskets have quickly

01:55:06become one of the essential

01:55:08elements of fashion,

01:55:10just like jeans and leather jackets.

01:55:12If you look at them closely,

01:55:14you will see that they have two additional holes

01:55:16on the side, similar to those of shoe laces.

01:55:18They are made like this

01:55:20not only to provide additional ventilation

01:55:22but also to allow people

01:55:24to be more creative with their laces

01:55:26when they wear their shoes.

01:55:28Admit it, you have always thought

01:55:30that chopsticks are united at one end

01:55:32with the sole purpose of keeping them together

01:55:34until you are ready to start your meal.

01:55:36This may not be entirely true.

01:55:38If we look at them more closely,

01:55:40it turns out that these wooden tools

01:55:42have a square-shaped end.

01:55:44Chopsticks made in this way

01:55:46come from an old Japanese

01:55:48traditional design

01:55:50that allows you to break the ends easily.

01:55:52The separate end can then be used

01:55:54as a support for the chopsticks

01:55:56to keep them cleaner

01:55:58in the hope that they can be reused

01:56:00since they will not touch the table

01:56:02or any other surface.

01:56:04Women's bicycles have a special design

01:56:06that surprisingly has a historic

01:56:08and fashionable function.

01:56:10The lower frame is largely

01:56:12intended to compensate for the generally

01:56:14small size of women compared

01:56:16to that of a normal man.

01:56:18If this is the case for the handlebars

01:56:20and the saddle, the general frame

01:56:22is lower for an additional reason.

01:56:24At a time when women wore long skirts

01:56:26and dresses all day,

01:56:28every day they had to make sure

01:56:30that their outfits would not get stuck

01:56:32in the frame.

01:56:34This is how we designed a bicycle

01:56:36with a lower frame,

01:56:38perfectly suited to women

01:56:40and their needs of the time.

01:56:42There is a secret explanation

01:56:44related to each of the colors

01:56:46dating back to the 1970s.

01:56:48At that time,

01:56:50people were increasingly interested

01:56:52in their oral health

01:56:54and were therefore looking for products

01:56:56that could do more than just

01:56:58clean the teeth.

01:57:00A company was the first to do it

01:57:02by adding a mouthwash to its toothpaste,

01:57:04i.e. the blue strip.

01:57:06It then added the red strip

01:57:08intended to contain ingredients

01:57:10that could be used to treat gums.

01:57:12Speaking of toothpaste,

01:57:14check the cap the next time

01:57:16you open a new tube,

01:57:18you might be surprised.

01:57:20There is a kind of pointed cone

01:57:22inside the cap,

01:57:24which allows you to pierce

01:57:26the toothpaste seal

01:57:28without cutting yourself

01:57:30or damaging your nail.

01:57:32Not to mention that it is more hygienic

01:57:34since you will not be able

01:57:36to transfer germs

01:57:38to your teeth.

01:57:40It also has a very practical

01:57:42feature hidden in the hairs.

01:57:44In addition to giving the toothbrush

01:57:46a cooler look,

01:57:48they also have a practical purpose.

01:57:50Most toothbrushes

01:57:52have a pattern of blue hairs

01:57:54interlaced in white hairs.

01:57:56This blue tint is intended

01:57:58to pale

01:58:00to indicate the time

01:58:02when you should replace

01:58:04your toothbrush.

01:58:06Do you still play with Legos?

01:58:08I don't judge you,

01:58:10it's a great hobby for all ages.

01:58:12Note that there is a hole

01:58:14above the Lego heads.

01:58:16It is a safety device

01:58:18that Lego people designed

01:58:20to avoid the risk of suffocation.

01:58:22The most dangerous problem

01:58:24if a person swallows

01:58:26one of these pieces

01:58:28is the obstruction

01:58:30of the respiratory tracts.

01:58:32The presence of a hole

01:58:34in the respiratory tract

01:58:36is a sign

01:58:38that there is a risk

01:58:40of suffocation.

01:58:42We are now used

01:58:44to all kinds of modern bulbs,

01:58:46some tubular,

01:58:48others in the shape of diamonds

01:58:50and others still completely twisted.

01:58:52Historically,

01:58:54the bulbs were round

01:58:56and this initial shape

01:58:58was useful in itself.

01:59:00It was mainly due

01:59:02to the glass sphere.

01:59:04The easiest way to achieve it

01:59:06was to make the glass in the shape of a globe.

01:59:08Do you want to serve yourself

01:59:10a glass before we start?

01:59:12Just make sure you don't

01:59:14grab the glass with your hand.

01:59:16Yep, that's it.

01:59:18The glass has a rod for a good reason.

01:59:20If you touch the glass with your hands,

01:59:22the temperature of the drink will be changed

01:59:24and it will warm up much faster.

01:59:26Since we are in the kitchen,

01:59:28let's look at your refrigerator.

01:59:30There are a lot of eggs

01:59:32on the door shelves,

01:59:34but it may not be the best solution

01:59:36to keep them.

01:59:38The temperature in the door shelves

01:59:40tends to be a little higher

01:59:42than in the refrigerator itself.

01:59:44So it's not the best place

01:59:46to keep delicate foods

01:59:48like eggs or dairy products.

01:59:50Don't forget that

01:59:52during your next visit to the supermarket.

01:59:54By the way,

01:59:56while we go through the contents

01:59:58of the refrigerator,

02:00:00the temperature of the drink

02:00:02during more than two hours

02:00:04can increase its chances of getting damaged.

02:00:06So put them in the refrigerator

02:00:08as soon as possible.

02:00:10Make sure to divide your food

02:00:12into small batches

02:00:14so that they cool down faster.

02:00:16What did I just see in your fridge?

02:00:18Chocolate?

02:00:20Well, it's a big NO.

02:00:22Whatever the season,

02:00:24never forget that you

02:00:26have to boil an egg.

02:00:28The next time you boil an egg,

02:00:30try to put a teaspoon of baking soda

02:00:32in the water at the time of cooking.

02:00:34The egg shell will come off

02:00:36much more easily.

02:00:38Another tip is to break the egg

02:00:40on one end and pass it

02:00:42under the tap.

02:00:44The water jet will allow

02:00:46the shell to come off

02:00:48faster and with much less damage.

02:00:50Are you a fan of smoothies?

02:00:52Did you know that there is

02:00:54no need to wash your dishes

02:00:56every day?

02:00:58The movement created by the movement

02:01:00of the liquids will guarantee

02:01:02a smooth breakfast or snack

02:01:04without lumps and delicious.

02:01:06Then just add a little dish soap

02:01:08and water to clean it

02:01:10and run it.

02:01:12No need to put it in the dishwasher

02:01:14because the entire washing cycle

02:01:16can damage the metallic

02:01:18layers of the mixer.

02:01:20If you want a peanut butter sandwich

02:01:22there is a correct way to keep it.

02:01:24By placing the peanut butter pot

02:01:26upside down in your cupboard,

02:01:28you make sure that the oils are evenly distributed.

02:01:30You like a good steak

02:01:32but you never get a perfect consistency?

02:01:34You may start too early.

02:01:36You have to let the meat rest

02:01:38after cooking for at least 10 minutes

02:01:40before starting to cut it.

02:01:42The use of a good knife

02:01:44will also give you better results.

02:01:46A well-sharpened knife will allow you

02:01:48not to lose the juice of the meat.

02:01:50It's pasta night.

02:01:52Have you ever wondered why there is a hole

02:01:54in the middle of the spaghetti spoon?

02:01:56It turns out that you can use this hole

02:01:58to check the amount of pasta to cook per person.

02:02:00You now know exactly

02:02:02how much pasta to boil

02:02:04for your special marinara sauce.

02:02:06When you use non-stick pans,

02:02:08never use metal utensils.

02:02:10Choose wooden or plastic utensils.

02:02:12Metal is way too hard for the surface

02:02:14of your pans and can damage

02:02:16the non-stick surface.

02:02:18Are you the kind of person

02:02:20who keeps leftovers for dinner?

02:02:22Yes, well, me too, you know.

02:02:24A little tip to heat your dinner

02:02:26in the microwave.

02:02:28Try to spread the food

02:02:30on the edges of the plate.

02:02:32Microwaves are designed to heat

02:02:34the food as evenly as possible

02:02:36but not if the food is stacked.

02:02:38Have you ever tried to take

02:02:40a single tic-tac out of its little box?

02:02:42Just turn the box on the side.

02:02:44A small notch is provided for this effect

02:02:46to make the tic-tac sound like a madman.

02:02:48If you want to listen to music

02:02:50but you don't have a loudspeaker

02:02:52at hand, don't worry.

02:02:54By placing your phone in a cup or a bowl,

02:02:56the sound will be amplified

02:02:58and your experience will be much better.

02:03:00Are you in a hurry and your phone

02:03:02has no battery left?

02:03:04There is a simple way to reduce

02:03:06the charging time.

02:03:08Just put the phone in airplane mode.

02:03:10You'll see, it will recharge 100%

02:03:12in no time.

02:03:14You can use special tools

02:03:16to clean the charging ports,

02:03:18loudspeakers or the microphone.

02:03:20Just go slowly.

02:03:22Nice desk you have there!

02:03:24Did you know that these little feet

02:03:26at the back of the keyboard

02:03:28are actually there to help you

02:03:30see the keys better?

02:03:32However, if you can type without

02:03:34having to look at the keyboard,

02:03:36don't use them unless you want

02:03:38to be able to see the keys better.

02:03:40If you want to be able to type

02:03:42without having to look at the keyboard,

02:03:44don't use them to lift the keyboard.

02:03:46This position can damage your wrists

02:03:48if it is used for long periods.

02:03:50If you like to keep your things organized

02:03:52and you prefer to use post-it notes,

02:03:54just make sure to remove them

02:03:56from the post-it note cube

02:03:58from one side to the other

02:04:00to prevent them from rolling.

02:04:02We all feel a little overwhelmed

02:04:04when it comes to storage,

02:04:06especially when it comes to

02:04:08home laundry.

02:04:10Not only will you have easy access

02:04:12to every nook and cranny,

02:04:14but the shelves will be nicer to look at.

02:04:16When it comes to storing clothes,

02:04:18people use wooden belts

02:04:20for other reasons than aesthetic reasons.

02:04:22They may be bigger and heavier

02:04:24than plastic belts,

02:04:26but they can also help push back the limits.

02:04:28Keep that in mind,

02:04:30especially when you store winter clothes.

02:04:32You've never been curious to know

02:04:34what this little extra opening

02:04:36in your running shoes,

02:04:38but it's there for a good reason.

02:04:40The tighter your shoe laces are,

02:04:42the less chance you have of getting blisters.

02:04:44Always adjust your shoes properly

02:04:46and use this extra loop

02:04:48in your shoes if necessary

02:04:50before running.

02:04:52Your shirts also have a little secret.

02:04:54In the middle of the shirt,

02:04:56just between the shoulders,

02:04:58there is a small loop

02:05:00that you can use to hang your clothes

02:05:02when you don't have a belt on hand.

02:05:04Nothing would be better to waste

02:05:06To make sure you never have to

02:05:08fill your luggage with a pile of clothes,

02:05:10try to roll your clothes

02:05:12and place them properly

02:05:14in your luggage.

02:05:16This way, you'll save a lot of space,

02:05:18you'll have easy access to everything

02:05:20you need,

02:05:22and your clothes will be less frizzy.

02:05:24I don't want to be indiscreet,

02:05:26but there are several things

02:05:28I'd like to show you in the bathroom.

02:05:30Wash your hands for at least 20 seconds

02:05:32to get rid of all the germs.

02:05:34To save effort,

02:05:36open and close the tap with your wrist if possible.

02:05:38And there you go,

02:05:40your hands will be perfectly clean

02:05:42for a longer time.

02:05:44Always brush your hair from the bottom

02:05:46if you want to get rid of knots.

02:05:48Brushing your hair from the top

02:05:50will only damage them more.

02:05:52When you wash them,

02:05:54make sure to concentrate the shampoo

02:05:56on the scalp.

02:05:58However, make sure to never apply

02:06:00the shampoo directly on your head.

02:06:02Brush your hair a little with water

02:06:04between your hands before starting to massage it.

02:06:06You can avoid washing the tips

02:06:08of your hair,

02:06:10except if they are really dirty.

02:06:12The foam that comes down from your scalp

02:06:14is enough to clean this part.

02:06:16Also take care of your loofah.

02:06:18If you leave it in a wet and hot shower,

02:06:20it may accumulate

02:06:22all kinds of unpleasant bacteria.

02:06:24Throw it in your dirty laundry

02:06:26once a week,

02:06:28or let it soak in a diluted Javel solution.

02:06:30We are sure that you always hydrate

02:06:32after showering,

02:06:34but there is also a correct way to do it.

02:06:36Do not put too much cream

02:06:38on your face,

02:06:40and make sure to tap and not rub.

02:06:42Your skin will thank you for that.

02:06:44It is not necessary to be a dentist

02:06:46to know how important it is

02:06:48to use dental floss.

02:06:50Next time,

02:06:52try to make a knot with your floss.

02:06:54Thanks to the extra tension and grip,

02:06:56your teeth will be cleaner

02:06:58in no time.
