FunTranscript
00:00The next time you explore the world via Google Maps,
00:03I invite you to discover a lake in Finland,
00:06whose shape evokes that of the country itself.
00:09Located in the north of the territory,
00:11this lake has been modified by man to make it a faithful replica
00:14on a ten-thousandth scale.
00:16It was during the 1980s,
00:18when Arctic tourism and skiing, beyond the polar circle,
00:21were experiencing a real boom,
00:23that this initiative was born.
00:25A local company started building a hotel
00:28as well as several holiday cottages in the region.
00:31The tents, designed to look like Finland,
00:34aimed to attract more tourists.
00:36In the space of a week,
00:38thanks to two excavators,
00:39a measuring tape and a few picks,
00:42they accomplished this project with remarkable efficiency.
00:45If you are afraid of long ascending routes,
00:47take a detour through Hannover, Germany.
00:50One of the city's outer elevators only runs a few centimeters,
00:53making the experience as brief as fun.
00:56Having become a real star on social media
00:58thanks to the videos posted by tourists,
01:00it is likely that you had to wait
01:02to enjoy this express ascent.
01:04As for its utility,
01:06this elevator is installed in the Hannover station.
01:09When you travel with heavy luggage
01:11or have limited mobility,
01:13every centimeter traveled counts,
01:15making this elevator a practical way
01:18to move around the station.
01:20For bear lovers without gelatin,
01:22know that your favorite treat
01:24contains enough energy
01:26to cause a real pyrotechnic show.
01:28Indeed, if you put a bear in gelatin
01:30in an ignition tube
01:32containing a small amount of potassium chloride
01:34or molten sodium,
01:36it will evaporate into a spectacular fireball
01:38accompanied by an impressive cloud of smoke.
01:40Potassium chloride first begins to melt,
01:43then it decomposes
01:45and releases oxygen.
01:47The sugar contained in the bear in gelatin
01:49burns quickly,
01:51turning into carbon dioxide and water,
01:53which releases a considerable amount of energy.
01:56Once everything has cooled down,
01:58you can observe the residues.
02:00The black substance is unburned carbon,
02:02the solid white is potassium chloride,
02:04and the caramel-colored substance
02:06corresponds to partially burned sugar.
02:08Our external ear only has 6 muscles,
02:11while that of cats has an impressive number of 32.
02:14This particularity allows them
02:16to rotate their ears at 180 degrees
02:19and use them to express their mood.
02:22If the ears are straight and facing forward,
02:25your cat is happy.
02:27If they are turned sideways,
02:29like the wings of a plane,
02:31or tilted backwards,
02:33it indicates that your cat is stressed or scared.
02:35Lowered or oriented ears
02:37can indicate an illness.
02:39It is therefore important to pay attention to this.
02:41A stray dog in Brazil
02:43found a job as an automobile consultant
02:45in a Hyundai dealership.
02:47The director of the establishment
02:49noticed this stray dog
02:51and began to offer him water and food.
02:53The other staff members
02:55also fell under the charm of the dog
02:57and they finally decided to adopt him.
02:59The latter, now named Tucson,
03:02in tribute to Hyundai's popular compact SUV,
03:05found a home and a job.
03:07These tasks include wearing a tie,
03:09taking control of the steering wheel,
03:11and the charm of customers.
03:13As can be seen on the company's social networks,
03:15Tucson excels in all these tasks.
03:17In Mexico, we like to pick up mangoes and citrus trees
03:20with salt and pepper powder.
03:22In the Philippines, you can taste a mango
03:24with the aroma of shrimp,
03:26while in the south of the United States,
03:28we taste the salted watermelon.
03:30When you taste a sweet fruit sprinkled with salt,
03:32the salty flavor appears
03:34from the first bite,
03:36followed by the sweetness of the fruit that appears next.
03:38And when you reach this moment,
03:40the fruit always seems so exquisite and juicy.
03:42This is probably explained by the fact
03:44that the salt influences
03:46the taste receptor of the sweet,
03:48thus creating a real magic at the molecular level.
03:51You can try to add salt
03:53to any fruit of your choice,
03:55but the effect will vary.
03:57Salt can intensify the sweetness of fruit,
03:59such as cherries and strawberries,
04:01while balancing the flavor of fruit
04:03such as grapefruit, pineapple, and watermelon.
04:05In 1956,
04:07long before the first dating apps
04:09or very short apps,
04:11a Swedish sailor named Ake Viking
04:13decided to entrust the sea
04:15to take care of finding him a soulmate.
04:17He sent a short message
04:19to someone beautiful and distant
04:21in a bottle that he then
04:23let float around the world.
04:25Two years later,
04:27he received an answer from a young Sicilian
04:29named Paulina.
04:31She wrote to him that she was not really beautiful,
04:33but that she found it extraordinary
04:35that the bottle had traveled such a distance,
04:37and it was for this reason
04:39that she had wanted to inform the expeditor.
04:41They started a correspondence
04:43and, some time later,
04:45Ake Viking moved to Sicily
04:47to marry his beloved Paulina.
04:49The unique pattern of your fingerprints
04:51accompanies you throughout your life.
04:53Even if you damage your fingerprints
04:55or develop a cutaneous affection
04:57susceptible to altering them,
04:59they will grow back in the space of a month.
05:01As you age,
05:03the skin of your fingers becomes less elastic,
05:05and the ridges of your fingerprints thicken.
05:07But the pattern remains unchanged,
05:09although they become more difficult to scan.
05:11However,
05:13if you are a Freemason
05:15or you manipulate certain chemical products,
05:17you could lose some details
05:19of this natural pattern.
05:21Rest assured,
05:23your fingerprints will return to normal
05:25once these activities are stopped.
05:27Except maybe if you are stung.
05:29If you still believe in the 5-second rule,
05:31I have bad news for you.
05:33As soon as food touches the ground,
05:35it becomes a real bacterial magnet.
05:37Researchers have discovered that humidity,
05:39the type of surface,
05:41all play a role in the degree
05:43of food contamination.
05:45Foods with high water content,
05:47like a juicy watermelon,
05:49are more likely to be contaminated.
05:51In another study,
05:53researchers took samples
05:55from the ground of the University of Illinois
05:57in laboratories, halls, dormitories
05:59and cafeterias
06:01to determine how many microorganisms
06:03were there.
06:05Even on dry and sterile surfaces,
06:07germs migrated in less than 5 seconds
06:09like a candy in gelatin.
06:11For some foods,
06:13it took less than a second
06:15for this transfer to start.
06:17The first Barbie doll was designed in 1959,
06:19but its great-great-great-grandmother
06:21dates from ancient Rome.
06:23During construction work in Rome
06:25in the 19th century,
06:27archaeologists discovered incredible sarcophagi.
06:29One of them contained,
06:31next to its owner,
06:33a 23 cm long doll.
06:35The head and body of the doll
06:37were placed in a single piece of ivory.
06:39Its arms and legs were separated
06:41and linked by a clever mechanism
06:43based on nails,
06:45allowing them to move.
06:47The face was so meticulously detailed
06:49that it resembled a tiny portrait.
06:51The doll even wore a gold ring,
06:53held by a key,
06:55and had a small box of jewelry,
06:57tiny mirrors,
06:59bone combs,
07:01and various accessories.
07:03However, it remained unobtainable.
07:05If you are looking for a new job
07:07and you like to give hugs,
07:09you could be in trouble.
07:11As surprising as it may seem,
07:13the profession of professional hugger
07:15does exist.
07:17Several companies offer
07:19services of calinotherapy
07:21and are looking for staff
07:23ready to offer hugs,
07:25to listen and support people
07:27who really need it.
07:29Of course, everyone can give hugs,
07:31but to make it a paid profession,
07:33you will have to learn to set limits
07:35with your future clients
07:37without hurting their sensitivity,
07:39and to take care of others
07:41on a mental level
07:43without revealing your own personality.
07:45The famous scientist Nikola Tesla
07:47already predicted in 1900
07:49that the whole world would be wireless.
07:51He claimed that devices not bigger than a watch
07:53would be able to transmit signals
07:55with precision.
07:57At the time, it was a revolutionary idea
07:59he had had by conducting experiments
08:01and convinced of the success of his idea
08:03that he managed to persuade the famous banker
08:05J.P. Morgan to invest in his project.
08:07The wireless world system
08:09was to include a mushroom-shaped tower
08:11on the shores of Long Island
08:13capable of transmitting messages,
08:15telephone calls
08:17and images of the ships crossing the Atlantic.
08:19Unfortunately, due to financial problems,
08:21the tower was never completed.
08:23Well, we can say that things
08:25have finally been arranged,
08:27haven't they?
