00:00If you're one of those people who can't seem to tie their bathrobe tight enough, try this out, instead of
00:05placing the rope on the back.
00:06Rather, try placing it in the front.
00:10Do your earphones constantly slip out? You should wear them upside down to stop this from happening.
00:15Perhaps I should have skipped this one. Now I might be running out of excuses to start jogging.
00:20If you're one of those people who can't eat a burger without making a mess, well, first of all, welcome
00:26to the club.
00:27And second, flip it upside down.
00:30Yeah, it surprised me too. I never thought I would really make any progress with this one.
00:36Speaking of mess, Pringles can be tricky to eat too.
00:39Instead of reaching your hands in a container, perhaps you should try this.
00:43Place a piece of paper and put it on its side.
00:46Slide it on out and now you have a practical tray to eat the chips.
00:51Most of us haven't been sitting on the toilet properly.
00:55According to the anatomy of our body, we're not supposed to be sitting at a 90-degree angle.
01:00The more natural position would be squatting because that way your digestive system is not constricting that much as when
01:07sitting.
01:08That's why the mini step stool comes in handy.
01:11Try getting one of these to keep it by the toilet.
01:15The right and perhaps the most practical way to put a trash bag inside of your bin could be, once
01:21again, if you turn it upside down.
01:23Then you can place a bag on top of the trash can and simply pull the top of the bag
01:28downward.
01:30Who would have thought that sticking a post-it on the wall could be tricky too?
01:34Well, to do this better, just peel it from the side.
01:37That way, the paper won't curl.
01:41No matter what I do, my cabinet always looks messy.
01:44So this trick comes in handy.
01:46Hang all of your spray bottles on a clothing rod.
01:49Ta-da!
01:50You got yourself more space to make more mess.
01:53For all of you who like those small tricks that make your sandwich look better, cut your ham or cheese
01:58in half.
01:59That way, you can divide pieces and arrange them to fit your sandwich the way they're supposed to.
02:05I had to learn to eat apples properly too.
02:07So if you eat it from the bottom to top, the core of the apple mixes in with the rest
02:12of the fruit, so nothing ends up wasted.
02:15When you're wrapping your towel around the waist, take the edges and roll them up.
02:20Oh man, not the scissors too.
02:23Okay then, put your ring finger and thumb between the loops.
02:26That way, your hand will get some extra strength and stability while working with scissors.
02:32Push the center of your food container.
02:34That way, you actually close all four corners at once.
02:38Finally!
02:40Then, there's taking a shower too.
02:42During the winter, when it's cold outside, a few things can make your day as much as a hot shower
02:46can.
02:47But there's one problem with that.
02:49Hot water actually opens your pores, which means your skin is losing more water.
02:55Plus, this way, you wash away all those oily layers that protect your skin.
02:59So this might make your skin itchy and dry.
03:03Warm showers are okay, but try to avoid your water from being too hot.
03:07Along with this, I know we all prefer long showers after an exhausting day.
03:12But once again, being in the water for too long dries out your skin.
03:16So, it's okay to take a shower every day, but it's supposed to be as short as possible.
03:22You'll want to know more about this one.
03:24How to charge your phone without destroying its battery.
03:28First, the best would be to charge it a little at a time.
03:31Whenever there's a chance, even when you only have a few minutes.
03:35Don't fully discharge the phone before you plug it in.
03:38So, don't let your phone's battery level go too low because it wears down your battery.
03:43Next, the ideal thing to do to keep its lifespan longer would be to keep your battery's charge level somewhere
03:49between 65 and 75%.
03:52Of course, it's hard to keep it this way all the time.
03:55So, at least aim between 45 and 75%.
04:00There's no need to fully charge your phone either, especially when you're going from a low charge level.
04:05For example, if your battery level is lower than 25% and you charge it to 100%.
04:11This will reduce the capacity of your battery as well as shorten its lifespan.
04:16A high voltage, which means when you're fully charging your phone, only stresses your battery and wears it out.
04:22So yeah, you guessed it right.
04:24It's better to avoid charging the phone overnight too.
04:28Here's something about trimming your fingernails properly.
04:31So, you probably notice a subtle curve on your nail clippers.
04:34It seems as if these are made for a single snip action.
04:38In reality, it takes three or four clips to do the work.
04:42Avoid cramming your nail into the clipper's head and trying to snip it right away.
04:46When you clip your nail straight on, you can bend and damage it and try not to go too short
04:51either.
04:53During your first driving lessons, you most likely learned the 10 and 2 rule.
04:58Imagine your steering wheel is a round clock showing 2 and 10.
05:02They say you should keep your hands exactly there.
05:05It's how you're supposed to keep optimum control over your car, especially if you need to avoid an obstacle that
05:11comes out of nowhere.
05:12But this is apparently wrong, because the recommended position is now 9 and 3, or at least something close to
05:20that.
05:20That way, you keep your hands out of the way of the airbags.
05:24You should place both hands on the opposite sides of the wheel, because that way you can comfortably make turns
05:29when you're driving at higher speeds.
05:32Even scrambled eggs is not just cracking a couple of eggs into a hot, oily pan and whisking it.
05:38The trick is to take some time so you can scramble the eggs over medium-low heat.
05:43When you do a quick sizzle, you'll only dry out your eggs, which is probably fine if you're in a
05:48hurry.
05:48But it's better to take a minute or so more to get a better breakfast.
05:53So, crack the eggs in a separate bowl and whisk them.
05:56Drop a little bit of butter into a non-stick pan.
05:59Pour the eggs in there and stir them over medium-low heat until they start to solidify.
06:04You can also remove them from the burner before they begin to look done.
06:08They'll cook a little bit more until they cool down anyway.
06:13Have you ever thought you should improve sitting in front of your computer too?
06:17Even if you work out after you come home, it's still not enough to completely reverse the consequences of a
06:23day you mostly spent in a chair.
06:26So, it's important to have some micro-motion periods throughout the day.
06:30For example, you can just stretch a couple of times per hour or spend a few seconds walking.
06:37Chewing too much gum or sucking mints is not such a good habit.
06:40It's something we mostly take as a short-term fix for bad breath.
06:44But in case they contain sugar, and they mostly do, that sugar actually feeds the bacteria in your mouth and
06:50gut.
06:51If you can't avoid mints and gums and like to have them with you, at least try to choose ones
06:57that don't contain artificial flavors, colors, and aspartame, a type of artificial sweetener mostly used in these things.
07:05What's your favorite sleeping position?
07:07If it's on your stomach, think about changing your sleeping habits.
07:11First, if you sleep on your stomach, you are severely twisting your spine.
07:15Since you'll turn your head to one side and have one hip hitched up, this position affects your blood flow.
07:21So ideally, you should sleep either on your side or your back.
07:25You must have noticed those lines on some kinds of chips.
07:29For one thing, they help with the distribution of spices and seasonings.
07:33In other words, all those substances that make your chips taste like cheese are mostly stored inside the lines.
07:41Plus, the lines make chips crunchier.
07:45Some cars have a tiny coffee cup sign on their dashboard.
07:49It's the vehicle's anti-drowsiness mechanism.
07:53There are manufacturers that equip their cars with a drowsiness detection system.
07:59It analyzes the speed, wheel angle, and lane deviations to figure out if it's time for the driver to take
08:05a break.
08:06If it is, the vehicle makes several audio signals and the coffee cup sign starts to flash.
08:14Some plastic milk containers have dents on their sides.
08:18These dents serve several purposes.
08:21For one thing, when milk spoils, this process usually causes swelling and high-pressure buildup inside the container.
08:29That's when the dent comes in handy.
08:31It pops out and doesn't let the jug blow up.
08:35Plus, if you decide to freeze the milk, it will expand like any other liquid.
08:40And then again, the indentation will pop out and prevent the container from breaking inside your freezer.
08:47You might have wondered why jerry cans have three handles.
08:51It's a clever designer move.
08:54This way, if you carry the container alone, you can use only the central handle to distribute the weight evenly.
09:02But if your friend wants to help you out, each of you can grab the side handle.
09:08The first jeans had a problem.
09:11Workers and miners, who were the original jeans wearers, put too much pressure on the poor piece of clothing.
09:17As a result, the seams couldn't withstand the stress and tore.
09:22Tiny metal studs were invented to prevent this from happening.
09:28Sticky notes come off relatively easily because their adhesive is spread out across the paper unevenly, in small blobs.
09:36And only some of these blobs touch the surface of whatever you've stuck the note on.
09:41That's why when you unstick a post-it and attach it to something else, it still works.
09:46Until all the glue gets used or covered with dirt.
09:51Soda bottles are always filled in such a way that there's some space between the liquid and the cap.
09:57That's because soda contains carbon dioxide.
10:01It's a gas that can expand once a bottle is heated.
10:04If there's no gap in the bottle, it can break because of the pressure building inside.
10:10Also, when you open your drink, the gases go out in the form of bubbles, and the drink is likely
10:17to overflow.
10:17Oh, the gap helps with this problem, too.
10:22Dental floss is super useful for your teeth, but it might be rather hard to operate.
10:27It regularly slips out of your fingers and tangles.
10:31To avoid these problems, tear off a piece of dental floss and tie its two ends together.
10:37It'll be much easier to use and won't hurt your fingers.
10:42Now, about those horizontal lines on plastic bottles.
10:47They help hold bottles up.
10:49Some bottles are produced from soft plastic.
10:52Without the lines, they wouldn't keep their shape.
10:56Instead, they would twist easily, or even break.
11:01The soft, round part under a soda bottle cap keeps the carbonation from escaping.
11:07Without it, your pop would go flat in no time, probably even before you buy it.
11:14If you don't have anywhere to put a toothpick after using it, break off its flat end at the first
11:20groove and place it on the table.
11:22Now, you can balance the used portion of your toothpick on the groove part so that it doesn't have to
11:28touch the table.
11:30You can also make a makeshift stand for disposable chopsticks.
11:35They have a sort of lump on one side.
11:37Break that lump off before you split the pair.
11:41Now, when you want to take a sushi break, just place the stick on this stand.
11:48Donuts are shaped like rings because, otherwise, they might get overdone at the edges, but uncooked and gooey inside.
11:57With a hole in the center, both the outside and the inside get ready at the same time.
12:04Ever notice that layer of clear fluid in gel pens?
12:08It's called the ink follower, or stopper fluid.
12:12The gel in such pens contains pigment particles dissolved in a polymer solution.
12:18The gel should be thick enough to keep the pigment particles suspended, but also thin enough to flow first onto
12:24the ball and then the paper.
12:27The main task of the stopper fluid is to be a barrier to prevent the gel from evaporating or leaking
12:34out.
12:35Without this transparent fluid, your gel pen wouldn't function.
12:39The fluid always stays in one position and doesn't get dissolved with the gel.
12:44Neither does it move backward or flow out of the pen.
12:49Some button-down shirts have a button hidden on the back of the collar.
12:54Its main purpose is to prevent the tie from sticking out from under the collar.
12:59As for that locker loop on the back, you can use it to hang the shirt on a hook to
13:06avoid wrinkling it.
13:08Outer rings and zipper sliders, especially when two sliders are used together, are added so that you can connect them
13:15with a lock and keep sticky fingers away.
13:20Most ambulance cars have this word printed on the front of the vehicle.
13:28It's written in reverse so that the driver in front of the ambulance can see the word properly in their
13:33rear-view mirror.
13:35Then they can move out of the way and let the ambulance pass.
13:41Escalator brushes serve an important safety purpose.
13:44You might have heard that most accidents happen after people get their bags or clothes stuck in escalators because they
13:51stand too close to the sides.
13:53But when there are nylon brushes on both sides, you can't but keep your feet away from the escalator's skirt
13:59panels.
14:00The result? No accidents.
14:03The side holes in sneakers are for laces.
14:08Since sneakers were originally invented for basketball players, this interesting design allowed them to accommodate any player's foot.
14:16They just needed to lace their sneakers in the most comfortable way for them.
14:21The holes in the bottoms of your earphones allow air to circulate up and through the speakers.
14:28It helps to increase low frequencies, making the bass sound deeper.
14:32The quality of the sound also becomes much better.
14:37Ever been stranded with a cup of applesauce, but no spoon at hand?
14:42But each snack pack already has a built-in spoon.
14:46Several twists of the foil lid, and here you go!
14:52Diamond slits on backpacks were originally placed only on traveler bags.
14:57Their purpose was to carry ropes.
15:00These days, you can find such slits on almost every backpack.
15:04Why not use them to carry a bottle of water, an umbrella, or a pair of sneakers?
15:11Highlighters are filled with a special semi-transparent fluorescent ink that can glow in dim light.
15:18Yellow and light green hues are the most popular because they don't prevent you from seeing the text after black
15:25-and-white photocopying.
15:27Photocopiers perceive yellow and light green marks as almost non-existent and don't print them.
15:34A stop sign has an octagonal shape to help drivers recognize it easily, even if they see it from the
15:41back.
15:41When the signs weren't reflective yet, this shape prevented drivers from confusing the stop sign with any other at night.
15:50The number 57 on a Heinz ketchup bottle has nothing to do with the product label.
15:55The truth is that the place with the numbers is the very sweet spot you should tap to get the
16:01ketchup flowing.
16:03So, stop hitting the bottom of your sauce bottle and hit 57.
16:09Lots of private houses have triangular-shaped roofs because this allows rain, snow, and fallen leaves to slide off the
16:17slope.
16:18If all this stuff piled up on top of your house, one day, your roof would collapse.
16:26Airplane windows have rounded edges, and that's a crucial safety measure.
16:30It prevents aircraft accidents.
16:33Weak spots are usually situated in the corners.
16:37If airplane windows were square or rectangular, each of them would have four potential weak spots.
16:43Under pressure, they would collapse.
16:45Under pressure, they would collapse.
16:45Under pressure, they would collapse.
16:45Under pressure, they would collapse.
