FunTranscript
00:00 Do you intend to renovate your kitchen but you don't have the money to change the fridge?
00:05 You could still use it, even if you have to move it.
00:09 Did you know that you can reverse the direction of the door opening of most fridges?
00:14 Yes, most fridge models allow you to change the direction of the door.
00:19 You just need to unscrew a few screws and a few hinges.
00:23 It's better to take note of the order in which you disassemble the elements.
00:27 As for the necessary tools, you just need a screwdriver, a adjustable wrench, pliers and pliers.
00:34 Here's a simple technique to press citrus fruits to the last drop.
00:40 You need a very simple utensil.
00:43 No need to press citrus fruits super expensive and no need for too much elbow grease either.
00:49 The next time you want to prepare a good fresh lemon juice, simply use kitchen pliers.
00:56 Place the lemon or any other citrus fruit between the pliers and use the force of the utensil to press it for a few seconds.
01:03 Speaking of fruits, there is a great technique to keep them fresh for a longer time.
01:11 No need to buy green bananas.
01:13 Put the fruits in a box with a lid and place it in the fridge.
01:16 The less the fruits will be exposed to air, the longer they will last.
01:23 What about a little more delicate fruits like strawberries?
01:26 They are a little more difficult to wash because of their texture.
01:30 Here's a technique to wash them perfectly.
01:33 Put 3 glasses of water and 1 glass of vinegar in a container.
01:37 Put the strawberries in this mixture and stir it all together.
01:41 After rinsing the strawberries thoroughly under water,
01:45 drain them and dry them with a towel or a clean towel.
01:50 Then put them in a box with a lid in the fridge.
01:53 They are ready to be squeezed at any time.
01:56 I'm almost sure you've used this object badly all your life.
02:00 I've also used it badly.
02:02 Do you see these cushions that are often used during trips?
02:06 It turns out that most people place them around the neck and the buttons on the front.
02:11 Well, it's probably more comfortable when they are placed in the other direction.
02:18 Why? Because despite the back empty space,
02:21 your head is still supported.
02:23 And you will lighten the tensions of your neck
02:25 if your head starts to fall to the side once you fall asleep.
02:29 In addition, your chin stays in place.
02:32 You have probably already noticed these slabs
02:36 composed of relief plow lines on sidewalks,
02:39 especially in very busy areas or with a lot of traffic.
02:42 They are called "podotactile surfaces".
02:44 They were first used in Japan in 1960.
02:48 They have spread throughout the world thanks to their effectiveness.
02:52 Nowadays, there are several kinds depending on the situations to be indicated.
02:58 The podotactile slabs are used to indicate pedestrian crossings.
03:04 These indicators are essential to warn blind or non-blind people
03:08 that they are near a pedestrian crossing.
03:11 They are mostly small relief plows placed in a rectangle.
03:15 Then there are the podotactile slabs,
03:19 namely relief slabs indicating pedestrian crossings.
03:23 They warn blind people about dangers near them,
03:27 such as stairs or ramps.
03:29 Sometimes, after a long day,
03:33 there is nothing better than heating up leftovers for dinner.
03:36 Unfortunately, because of fatigue,
03:39 you may forget to cover your plate when you put it in the microwave.
03:42 And this is an infallible technique to dirty your microwave.
03:46 Fortunately, there is a technique to clean it easily
03:49 without using special products.
03:51 Mix equal amounts of water and lemon juice.
03:55 Pour the liquid into a bowl and microwave it for about a minute.
03:59 The acidity of this mixture should help degrease the walls
04:04 and you just need to wipe it off to remove all residues.
04:08 Are you one of those people who like to do pastry experiments
04:11 but don't like measuring utensils?
04:13 Use your whip the next time you want to add flour to your preparation.
04:18 Dip the whip in the bag of flour.
04:20 It will get stuck between the threads.
04:22 There is nothing cooler than quick tips
04:27 to simplify household chores,
04:29 like this one for garbage bags.
04:32 I bet you have never seen a garbage bag
04:35 as dirty as I have.
04:37 Open the garbage bag.
04:40 No need to open it completely.
04:42 The end is enough.
04:44 Place the end of the bag on the garbage bag.
04:46 Then simply push the rest of the bag
04:48 into the garbage bag
04:50 and it should turn over perfectly.
04:53 Have you ever wondered what these extra holes
04:56 on top of your sports shoes are for?
04:58 They are designed so that you can attach
05:00 the shoes to the bag.
05:02 It is useful when you want to compensate for things
05:04 like a bad stripe
05:06 or even a damaged toe.
05:08 In addition, you can modify the look of your shoes
05:11 as you wish.
05:13 Many people use the jacket of their books
05:17 as a page marker.
05:19 This is not a problem.
05:21 Thanks to it, you will not have to frame your pages.
05:23 But the first objective of a jacket
05:25 is to protect the book from external damage.
05:27 The jacket is a great way to protect the book
05:29 from external damage.
05:31 For example, if you spill fruit juice
05:33 or if you drop food on your book
05:35 while you read it.
05:37 The Tic Tac box has this little groove on top
05:40 so that you can distribute
05:42 a single Tic Tac at a time.
05:44 Even if, let's be honest,
05:46 no one does that.
05:48 Most of us spill a lot of it at once.
05:50 Then we put all these Tic Tacs back in the bin.
05:52 These little rubber tips that you see
05:57 between the tire treads are there for your safety.
05:59 They tell you what is the minimum height
06:01 of your tread.
06:03 If the tips and edges are equal,
06:05 it is time for you to go as fast as you can
06:07 in a tire shop.
06:09 But if the wear witnesses still have margin
06:11 compared to the edges, you can ride quietly.
06:13 What about this black grid on the microwave glass?
06:17 This is what is called a Faraday cage.
06:19 And it is there to prevent microwaves
06:23 from escaping and turning the whole room
06:25 into an oven.
06:27 If microwaves escape,
06:29 your meal will not be able to cook properly either.
06:31 Indeed, this cage is not there
06:33 to prevent you from seeing your meal
06:35 while it is cooking,
06:37 but so that the electromagnetic energy
06:39 stays inside.
06:41 And why not a screwdriver
06:43 compatible with a wrench?
06:45 Grab your screwdriver with the end
06:47 of your wrench to increase
06:49 its torsion force.
06:51 This is why the head of your screwdriver
06:53 is designed as it is.
06:55 You have probably already heard
06:57 this myth. The blue side of the eraser
06:59 can erase the pen.
07:01 It is false. Its purpose is also
07:03 to erase the pencil. But in case you
07:05 write something on a more robust paper.
07:07 The blue side can also remove
07:09 these traces that may remain after
07:11 using the pink eraser.
07:13 Have you ever wondered why
07:15 oranges in supermarkets were found
07:17 most often in red-stripe bags?
07:19 It is a tip for the fruits to have
07:21 a brighter color, which encourages you
07:23 to eat. A bonus tip,
07:25 do not throw this bag away.
07:27 Tie it to have enough to cook your
07:29 pans and clean your sink,
07:31 your kitchen appliances, as well as your dishes.
07:33 You can see that golf balls
07:37 do not have a perfectly round shape.
07:39 Their surface is covered with many
07:41 small pockets, which golf balls
07:43 have not always had. At one point,
07:45 experienced golfers began to notice
07:47 that over time, the old balls
07:49 presenting imperfections, such as
07:51 cracks and bumps, could fly
07:53 further. These roughness
07:55 creates turbulence in the air around
07:57 the golf ball, which ends up
07:59 reducing its drag. Manufacturers
08:01 have therefore started to produce balls
08:03 with pockets, so that they can go
08:05 further and faster.
08:07 You may have noticed
08:09 that there were sometimes small cracks
08:11 on the top of the toothpicks. It is more hygienic
08:13 because when you break it, you can
08:15 press the toothpick on it and it will not
08:17 touch anything else.
08:19 Another safety device
08:21 that you will find in your car
08:23 is a strap on your rear-view mirror.
08:25 With it, you can change the position
08:27 of the mirror so that you are not blinded
08:29 if there is a car behind you
08:31 driving in the headlights.
08:33 This small strap helps you
08:35 to control the dimming of the lights
08:37 coming from the rear. This function
08:39 appeared in the 1930s, but it was not
08:41 until the early 1970s that it became
08:43 a standard equipment for most
08:45 cars and other trucks.
08:47 You see this little hole
08:49 on your iPhone, right next to the
08:51 rear-facing camera? It is a
08:53 microphone. And it is there so that your
08:55 phone can record the sound when you
08:57 rotate your camera.
08:59 Some cables
09:01 have a thick cylinder towards the end
09:03 of the cord. This is what is called
09:05 a ferrite core.
09:07 It is a magnetic iron oxide
09:09 that stops electromagnetic interferences
09:11 at high frequencies.
09:13 You see, for example, this annoying static noise
09:15 that you get if you bring your phone
09:17 too close to a speaker.
09:19 It interferes with your call.
09:21 That's why cable cords with big cylinders
09:23 are rather useful because they prevent
09:25 this kind of thing.
09:27 Do you know why almost
09:29 all luggage bags and backpacks
09:31 have two zippers? It is much more
09:33 practical and easier to open it this way.
09:35 But that's not all.
09:37 You can also lock these two sliding zippers
09:39 together so that the things inside
09:41 your bags are safe.
09:43 You know, like public places' toilets,
09:45 like shopping malls, have these large spaces
09:47 at the bottom of the door.
09:49 It is mainly for better air circulation.
09:51 This type of door also
09:53 allows you to clean the toilets more easily
09:55 or to check if they are occupied
09:57 when you wait.
09:59 Apart from that, if you are stuck inside
10:01 and the lock is broken,
10:03 you still have a way to escape.
10:05 You can just crawl out.
10:07 You have already noticed
10:09 these plastic tips on the cutters.
10:11 The blade is also curved,
10:13 which means that you can
10:15 renew it several times,
10:17 always with sharp edges.
10:19 You can separate these pieces of blade
10:21 with these plastic tips.
10:23 Then you just have to move the sliding part
10:25 to push this new blade forward.
10:27 If you have already taken a moment
10:29 to examine a supermarket's lambda caddy,
10:31 especially its foldable section,
10:33 you have probably noticed
10:35 these metal loops that protrude.
10:37 They are designed to protect the items
10:39 you carry in your caddy.
10:41 You can use them to hang bags
10:43 containing soft items,
10:45 such as bread, which you do not want to accidentally crush,
10:47 with heavier products
10:49 or things that are more easily broken, such as eggs.
10:51 Many coffee cups have
10:55 curved notches on their bottom.
10:57 When you wash your cups,
10:59 place them against the drawer of your dishwasher.
11:01 This way, water will not accumulate inside
11:03 and your favorite cup will be completely dry
11:05 when you take it out of here.
11:07 If you are a fan of McFlurry,
11:09 you have probably already noticed
11:11 that there was a square hole
11:13 in the handle of their spoon.
11:15 It is there so that you can attach it
11:17 to this special machine
11:19 that mixes the ice cream with your favorite toppings.
11:21 The machine has a bar that slides
11:23 into this square-shaped spoon
11:25 and that gently stirs it.
11:27 And you are given this spoon
11:29 to minimize damage during the process.
11:31 Pretty cool, isn't it?
11:33 Speaking of household products for the kitchen,
11:35 you can do a lot of things with the dishwasher.
11:37 You can clean your garden furniture,
11:39 for example.
11:41 Add a little dishwasher liquid to hot water
11:43 and use this mixture to rub
11:45 all your garden furniture with a piece of fabric.
11:47 Rinse them with your watering pipe.
11:49 You can also use your dishwasher
11:53 to remove the grease stains from your clothes,
11:55 the stains from pasta sauce,
11:57 salad seasoning.
11:59 Hey, we all happen to miss our mouth!
12:01 Put a little dishwasher liquid on the stain
12:03 and rinse with water.
12:05 For light-colored clothes,
12:07 it is better to use non-colored liquid.
12:09 For the most tenacious stains,
12:11 let the dishwasher liquid act for a few minutes
12:13 then put the clothes in the machine as usual.
12:15 And maybe buy yourself a bottle too.
12:17 If you still haven't found a technique
12:19 that suits you to organize your wardrobe
12:21 and that you are overwhelmed by piles of clothes,
12:23 there is a simple trick
12:25 that might work.
12:27 It's the "one more, one less" technique.
12:31 For every piece of clothing you buy,
12:33 you must get rid of an old piece of clothing.
12:35 You will regularly empty your wardrobe.
12:37 To find things more easily,
12:41 good luck,
12:43 leave the clothes you use most often
12:45 at the level of your eyes.
12:47 You will be able to find them more easily
12:49 and get them out of the wardrobe quickly.
12:51 Clothes you use less often,
12:53 like evening clothes for example,
12:55 can be stored under or above the level of your eyes.
12:59 The old tin boxes can be very useful.
13:01 If you stick very powerful magnets inside,
13:03 they can serve as magnet containers.
13:05 You can store a lot of objects there,
13:09 like kitchen tongs,
13:11 ice spoons or even cutlery.
13:13 You can place them on any metal surface,
13:17 like the door of your fridge.
13:19 They will go very well with the rest of your magnets.
13:21 At the bottom of your laundry,
13:25 you have an essential tool
13:27 to clean your animal hair.
13:29 It works even better than adhesive rollers.
13:31 These are dry-cleaning wipes.
13:33 One of these wipes and a little elbow oil
13:35 and you're done.
13:37 No more hair of Medor everywhere.
13:39 It works on all surfaces,
13:41 but it is particularly effective
13:43 on cluttered furniture.
13:45 If you don't want your doors to scratch
13:47 every time you enter a room,
13:49 take a soap and rub it directly on the hinges.
13:51 It only works for a short time,
13:53 but it will do the trick
13:55 for all your DIY projects.
13:57 To buy lubricant, for example.
13:59 You may have noticed
14:01 that in some elevators
14:03 there is a star next to a certain floor.
14:05 And no, it's not meant to indicate
14:07 the floor of my office.
14:09 It is used to indicate the closest exit.
14:11 And it's not always on the first floor.
14:13 It's rather on the floor
14:15 closest to the street.
14:17 You may have wondered
14:21 why the stop signs are red.
14:23 There were no specific colors.
14:25 Before 1920,
14:27 there were no standard shapes.
14:29 In 1922,
14:31 someone had the idea
14:33 to impose the octagon.
14:35 But at first,
14:37 these signs were yellow.
14:39 Red was pale too quickly
14:41 because of the exposure to the sun.
14:43 Yellow was the best option.
14:45 It was only 30 years later
14:47 that the more resistant enamel paint
14:49 was invented.
14:51 It became red.
14:53 After all,
14:55 it's the best color
14:57 if you want something to be easily spotted.
14:59 Did you know that there is
15:01 a type of rosette
15:03 that is taller than a man?
15:05 According to the Guinness Book of Records,
15:07 the tallest rosette ever
15:09 is in Vienna.
15:11 And it is more than 8.5 meters high.
15:13 Yes, this rosette dared.
15:15 Like our digital fingerprints
15:17 which are unique,
15:19 there are no two tigers
15:21 with the same stripes.
15:23 That's how people who work
15:25 with these big cats
15:27 distinguish them from each other.
15:29 I bet you didn't know
15:31 that the White House
15:33 has its own florist in the basement.
15:35 This business deals with ornaments
15:37 for all events organized
15:39 at the White House.
15:41 We know that pizza has become
15:43 a staple food of American cuisine
15:45 despite its Italian origins.
15:47 This dish is so popular
15:49 that Americans buy
15:51 350 pizzas every second.
15:53 Personally,
15:55 I don't think I eat enough.
15:57 To meet the incredible demand,
15:59 about 17% of all restaurants
16:01 in the United States
16:03 are pizzerias.
16:05 There is a technique
16:07 to make lemonade
16:09 without the lemon seeds
16:11 getting in your glass.
16:13 Cut the fruit in half
16:15 and place the top part
16:17 of the lemon
16:19 down.
16:21 The juice will flow,
16:23 but the seeds will stay in the lemon.
16:25 Mmm, lemonade!
