00:00:00In the United States, the black stripes on yellow school buses are not a decorative element.
00:00:05They are actually metal rails placed along the sides and at the back of the bus to protect its rather thin walls.
00:00:12In the event of a collision, they absorb most of the shock.
00:00:16These friction rails are also positioned at strategic locations.
00:00:19The lowest is at the level of the bus floor.
00:00:22The one in the middle corresponds to the bottom of the seats,
00:00:25and the one at the top corresponds either to the top of the seats or to the bottom of the window.
00:00:29Your ceiling fan can rotate in both directions for a very particular reason.
00:00:34One is for summer, the other for winter.
00:00:37When it is hot, the ceiling fans must rotate in the opposite direction of the needles of a watch.
00:00:42Thus, they draw the hot air up and push the cold air down.
00:00:46In winter, the rotation in the direction of the needles of a watch moves the hot air down and raises the cold air.
00:00:52As soon as you notice that the blue of your toothbrush is starting to fade, it is a sign that it is time to replace it.
00:00:59You can adjust your stapler so that it only temporarily staples the documents together.
00:01:03To do this, you have to rotate the stapling area.
00:01:06Most staplers have two stapling options.
00:01:09One is standard, while the other folds the staples in the other direction, moving them away from the center.
00:01:15Later, when you no longer need them, you can easily remove them by hand.
00:01:19Many people use a knife to remove the stems from the strawberries, but this wastes a small edible part of the fruit.
00:01:26Instead of a knife, use an ordinary straw.
00:01:29Insert one end of the straw at the bottom of the strawberry and gently push it up.
00:01:34If everything goes as planned, the straw will remove the stem.
00:01:38The small hole below the staples allows you to evacuate the water from the lock in case of rain.
00:01:42It prevents the object from rusting and scratching.
00:01:44You can also use this hole to oil the lock hinges so that they do not get stuck.
00:01:49If a lock does not have this small hole, you must use it only inside.
00:01:53It is not recommended to place dirty plates, covered with mashed potatoes or any other residue of glucide, near the ends of the lower drawer of your dishwasher.
00:02:03Several studies have shown that these plates are better washed when you put them in the center of the rack.
00:02:08The strange marks on the bottom of a toothpaste tube have nothing to do with the ingredients.
00:02:13They are actually there for the factory robots.
00:02:15Not that they brush their teeth too, but these colored squares mark the line where the tube must be cut and folded.
00:02:22Most cotton disks have two different textures on each of their faces.
00:02:26One is firmer and more absorbent.
00:02:29It is supposed to be used with nail polish solvent.
00:02:32The other side is much thinner and softer and is used to remove makeup from the face and eyes.
00:02:38Do not take off the post-it from the bottom.
00:02:40This will create a fold in the paper and the note will not stick well afterwards.
00:02:44Grab it on the side and it will stay stuck longer.
00:02:48When driving at night, you can be blinded by the headlights of the car following you.
00:02:53If you have a manual rearview mirror, find the tab below and tilt it.
00:02:57The rearview mirror has a reflective material behind its glass.
00:03:01By tilting the tab, you will change the angle of this material, which will dim the lights.
00:03:06The process is even simpler if you have an electronic rearview mirror, since you just have to activate the night mode.
00:03:13The bath foam relieves stress, cleanses the skin and keeps the water warm.
00:03:18The foam is composed of tiny air bubbles that form an insulating layer on the surface of the water, preventing heat from escaping.
00:03:25Let's say you are reading a book.
00:03:27You then decide to take a break and you realize that you do not have a bookmark.
00:03:31Do you have to crown the page?
00:03:33A bookmark is not necessary. This is what the cover is for, if there is one.
00:03:37Apparently, providing you with information about the book and its author is not its only function.
00:03:42Your stomach growls and suddenly a peanut butter sandwich seems to be a great idea.
00:03:47You open a jar and you see that there is a lot of oil on top.
00:03:51Burk! It's time to train the muscles of your arms and stir vigorously.
00:03:55But if you store your peanut butter jar upside down, the oil will move to the bottom and the solid part will stay on top.
00:04:03The main function of the drawer under your oven is not to store all these pans and all these pans.
00:04:08You are supposed to use this space to keep your food warm while you prepare something else in the oven.
00:04:14If you have no place to put a toothpick after using it,
00:04:17break the flat end at the level of the first groove and put it on the table.
00:04:21Now you can place the used part of your toothpick on the broken part so that it does not touch the table.
00:04:27The correct way to break a piece of a Toblerone chocolate bar is to push the pointed side down.
00:04:33Or just bite into it, but don't do that in public.
00:04:38Most extensions are known to unhook at the slightest traction.
00:04:42We tighten them and they will stay hooked even if you pull on them without wanting to.
00:04:46The knot can be tightened again, but nothing will unhook.
00:04:50The small groove below the cups allows the fresh air to pass underneath.
00:04:54This prevents the cups from cracking when a hot drink is poured into them.
00:04:58And when you place the cups upside down in the dishwasher,
00:05:01the grooves prevent water from accumulating in this double bottom.
00:05:05Anti-adhesive pans have a special coating and that's what makes them so great.
00:05:10But if you use metal utensils when you cook in such a pan, you risk scratching the coating.
00:05:16And once you've done it, your pan is broken.
00:05:19The food will begin to stick to its surface and will end up burnt or cooked unevenly.
00:05:25If you have always peeled bananas starting with the stem, try to do it the other way around.
00:05:30Pinch the bottom of the banana and pull.
00:05:33This way you won't have to deal with the wires and other small pieces to remove.
00:05:36In fact, this is the approach used by monkeys.
00:05:39But you wouldn't want to contradict monkeys, would you?
00:05:42Most of the caps of the small tubes are hollow on top and have a small tip inside.
00:05:47Their function is to pierce the aluminum hopper that seals the tube.
00:05:51The tube glue fits perfectly into this hole and the tip is designed to pierce the hopper.
00:05:56No need to get angry by trying to remove the tiny aluminum seal with your fingers.
00:06:01The more detergent you use, the cleaner your laundry is, isn't it?
00:06:05Not exactly. If you add too much detergent, you can damage your clothes.
00:06:09It will produce too much foam and your clothes won't rub against each other.
00:06:13But that's exactly what makes them clean.
00:06:16Excess foam can also prevent your laundry from rinsing properly.
00:06:20The pages of books are often printed on large sheets of paper rather than on small individual sheets.
00:06:26If there isn't enough content to fill these sheets, they remain blank pages.
00:06:30Publishers often print the word note or leave other signs on these pages.
00:06:34So the reader doesn't think it's a printing error.
00:06:37The stripes on the side of the road are supposed to wake up sleepy drivers who are starting to suffocate.
00:06:44When your tires drift on these stripes, the noise and vibrations work like an alarm.
00:06:49It's crazy to think that making a mess with a tube of mascara will make more product come out of the tube.
00:06:55In reality, it will only damage your mascara.
00:06:58By moving the tube, you make air enter the tube.
00:07:01It not only produces lumps, but also dries the mascara.
00:07:05The 1 cm hole you can see in the elevator doors is actually a lock hole.
00:07:10If the doors are locked, an operator can manually open them by inserting a special key into this hole.
00:07:16The same tool is used when an elevator needs maintenance control.
00:07:21The bubbles in your soda push the straw up when they balance the buoyancy with the mass of the straw.
00:07:27But you can prevent your straw from going back into your soda can by making it go through the hole of the metal opening tab.
00:07:33Ah, all this science behind a simple can.
00:07:37These squares of fabric that go with new clothes are made so that you can test your cleaning products on them first.
00:07:43This way, you won't damage your article from the first wash.
00:07:47The round part of the soles under the cap of a soda bottle prevents the bubbles from escaping.
00:07:52Without it, your soda would become flat in no time.
00:07:55Probably even before you buy it.
00:07:58The retractable blade cutter is supposed to last much longer than most people think.
00:08:03The blade of the cutter is made up of narrow and parallel sections.
00:08:07When the tool is worn out, it breaks the worn section with the tip underneath.
00:08:11And there you go, you have a brand new cutting blade.
00:08:14But don't forget to put on a pair of gloves and safety glasses before you do.
00:08:21Today, I'm going to show you things you've never seen before and tell you things you didn't know.
00:08:26Wow, all of this in one video? What luck!
00:08:30For example, these drinking fountain stations in fast food.
00:08:33We all think they're great, but have you ever wondered where all this soda came from?
00:08:39Come, I'll take you behind the scenes.
00:08:41In fact, we come across a pile of boxes with tubes.
00:08:45So when the drink is exhausted, the employees change boxes and reconnect the tube.
00:08:50Well, let's take a look at some other places where we're not normally supposed to be.
00:08:55Here, for example, is what you'll see if you open the screen of a Mac.
00:09:00And here's what's hidden behind the dryers of a washing machine.
00:09:03Today, 4 out of 5 households in the United States have a laundry dryer.
00:09:07But they weren't as widely accessible when they appeared in the 1950s,
00:09:12because they were far too expensive for the average consumer.
00:09:16Grocery shopping is a common practice,
00:09:18and we've all spent a million times in front of refrigerators for dairy products.
00:09:22But have you ever wondered what was behind it?
00:09:25It turns out that it's just shelves,
00:09:27and that the store employees stack the products on the other side.
00:09:30It's quite logical, but I never imagined things like that.
00:09:34This photo shows what's behind the elevator buttons.
00:09:37Obviously, a hell of a lot of cables.
00:09:40The buttons are all connected to a computer that manages the elevator.
00:09:43How does the computer expand where the cabin is?
00:09:46There are several possible systems,
00:09:49but the most common is a long, vertical ribbon in the gait,
00:09:52with a series of holes.
00:09:55A sensor counts the right number of holes that have passed,
00:09:58and that's how the location is determined.
00:10:01Well, there are also two or three common things that we all know,
00:10:04but whose usefulness remains a great mystery to most people.
00:10:08So let me share these secrets with you.
00:10:11These metallic rivets on jeans have been around since the very beginning.
00:10:15Jacob Davies, the mythical man who made the first pair of jeans,
00:10:18added leather rivets to places where pants are more likely to tear.
00:10:23Today, they have a more decorative and distinctive purpose,
00:10:26since they are a traditional attribute of classic jeans.
00:10:30I bet you know that there are additional holes on some shoes.
00:10:34No, it's not for perspiration or ventilation.
00:10:37These are holes for laces, just like the other holes you use.
00:10:40But they are there to fix your shoe around the ankle
00:10:43to prevent your foot from moving inside.
00:10:45It's particularly useful if you're hiking,
00:10:47and you're going up and down hills and trails.
00:10:51Have you noticed these half-belts that many coats and jackets have on the back?
00:10:56It turns out that they appeared for the first time on military jackets,
00:10:59so that the additional fabric can be gathered in the back
00:11:02and that the person is not crowded while working.
00:11:06Today, these belts are only added because of style and tradition.
00:11:10Most of the clothes you buy are delivered with a small piece of fabric or a button,
00:11:14or both.
00:11:15These elements are not useless.
00:11:17The buttons, of course, can be used to replace what is lost.
00:11:22The pieces of fabric are useful for two things.
00:11:24You can make a hole, but the main goal is to provide you with a sample of the fabric
00:11:29so that you can use it to test different washing products on it
00:11:32and see what happens.
00:11:35Now, the pompoms on wool hats.
00:11:38Did you know that sailors wore hats with pompoms in the 18th century
00:11:42to protect their heads in case they hit them accidentally?
00:11:46The people of the street wore them in Scotland
00:11:48and the color of the pompom indicated the social status of the person.
00:11:51People started wearing pompoms again with these pretty decorative objects during the Great Depression.
00:11:56They are made from recycled thread.
00:11:58It was therefore a good way to decorate your coat.
00:12:01You may have noticed that some sidewalks have small plaques with bumps.
00:12:06Most people don't pay much attention to it,
00:12:09but they are very important for visually impaired people.
00:12:12They indicate a slope, which then leads to a pedestrian crossing.
00:12:16In addition, several motifs indicate various elements.
00:12:19Did you notice that the icon of a gas tank on the dashboard of cars has a small arrow next to it?
00:12:25Well, this arrow is useful.
00:12:27It indicates the side of the car where the gas tank is located.
00:12:31Very useful for distracted people who constantly wonder which side they are on.
00:12:35And also for those who drive rental cars from time to time.
00:12:39The answer is right in front of you.
00:12:42If you don't find the arrow on your dashboard,
00:12:44then the gas pipe on the icon indicates the side in place.
00:12:48At the back of many makeup and hygiene products,
00:12:51you can find this symbol with a marking like 6M, 12M and 24M.
00:12:57This is the number of months this product can be used before you have to throw it away.
00:13:02You may know that whistles work perfectly even if they don't have this little ball inside.
00:13:07And yet they do.
00:13:08But then why?
00:13:10Even if the whistle produces a sound without the ball,
00:13:12it is quite neutral and we don't notice it enough.
00:13:16When the whistle contains a ball,
00:13:18it starts to move at each blow.
00:13:21This creates different heights and makes the noise more noticeable.
00:13:26It's not for nothing either,
00:13:27that the lollipop sticks have these square holes at their ends.
00:13:31When the candy is placed on the stick,
00:13:33part of the stick enters the hole,
00:13:35thus fixing the candy part.
00:13:37In this way, the candy ball or any other shape
00:13:40has less chance of detaching from the stick.
00:13:42Because yes, it's terrible when it happens.
00:13:44The bands to be measured have this metal cap at the end.
00:13:47Most people know that you can use it
00:13:49to stick it on the side of the surface you are measuring.
00:13:52But that's not the only cool thing about it.
00:13:55Look, there is also a small slit.
00:13:57This slit can be used to hook it to a nail.
00:14:00Once again to free your hands and continue to measure.
00:14:03The bottom of the end of the ribbon has a striated edge.
00:14:06It will help you to make a mark if you don't have a marking tool with you.
00:14:10Have you ever wondered why the blade of the ribbon is curved?
00:14:13Well, it allows you to keep it tilted when deployed.
00:14:17Look at the blade more closely.
00:14:18In addition to the numbers and marks,
00:14:20there are also black lozenges.
00:14:23These are present every 48.8 cm.
00:14:26And they are useful to the workers of the building
00:14:28to space out the engineering beams.
00:14:30They can also be useful if you want to suspend something heavy, for example.
00:14:34The diamond will mark the exact center of a lozenge
00:14:37which is placed 40 cm from each other.
00:14:41And you can drill something in this center
00:14:43to make sure that what you hang is well fixed.
00:14:47Most coins have stripes.
00:14:49And this is the heritage of the old days.
00:14:52You see, at the time, all coins were linked to a silver standard.
00:14:55The amount of silver used in a piece
00:14:57was proportional to the value of the piece.
00:15:01So, the more money there was in the manufacture of the piece,
00:15:04the more it had value.
00:15:06Hi-ho, silver!
00:15:07Do you remember the lonely ranger?
00:15:09Money was the name of his horse.
00:15:11But forget it.
00:15:12Anyway, all coins contained precious metal
00:15:16and some people started to refuse a little money.
00:15:20This was not seen on a single piece.
00:15:22But if we did it on several,
00:15:24people could recover a good part of the precious metal.
00:15:27So, to avoid frauds,
00:15:28the edges were equipped with security crests.
00:15:31So, if someone tried to rob them,
00:15:33the stripes would disappear.
00:15:35And no one wanted to accept this piece anymore.
00:15:37Clever!
00:15:39Today, as no one makes coins in silver,
00:15:41the coins simply symbolize value.
00:15:43But the stripes are, in a way, a cultural heritage.
00:15:46And finally, a typical plastic bottle of milk
00:15:49often has inverted circles on one or more of its sides.
00:15:53These are not circles of extraterrestrial culture.
00:15:55This reinforcement is there to make the pot more resistant
00:15:58and prevent it from erupting in case the pot fell to the ground.
00:16:02The reinforcement gives a little more space to the liquid to expand.
00:16:06In addition, as the expiration date approaches,
00:16:08the microbes present in the milk begin to expel gases.
00:16:11As they are more likely to be trapped inside,
00:16:14the pressure in the pot increases.
00:16:16The reinforcement takes care of the expansion
00:16:18and prevents the pitcher from exploding.
00:16:20And the cows are obviously delighted
00:16:22that their hard work is not wasted.
00:16:25No!
00:16:27If you ever find yourself stuck in the trunk of your car one day,
00:16:31stay calm.
00:16:32All cars are supposed to be equipped with an emergency lock
00:16:35that allows you to open the trunk from the inside if necessary,
00:16:38which is very unlikely.
00:16:40These locks are so well designed that they can be opened by anyone,
00:16:43regardless of their age.
00:16:45In addition, the handles are designed to be bright in the dark.
00:16:49You can even pull them with your mouth
00:16:51if there is not enough room to use your hands.
00:16:53And this, no matter how you end up in this trunk.
00:16:56Change of subject.
00:16:58If you work with wire and a needle,
00:17:00do not forget that it is not necessary
00:17:02to insert the needle directly into the coil.
00:17:04You risk losing it,
00:17:06not to mention that you could easily prick yourself
00:17:08and hurt your finger.
00:17:10Nowadays, many sewing kits
00:17:12have a place reserved for needle storage.
00:17:15It is located at the bottom of the wire coil.
00:17:18Just take it out.
00:17:20It is even possible to store several needles at the same time.
00:17:23The disposable pens have a little secret.
00:17:26Have you ever noticed that on some of them
00:17:29there is a small hole in the plastic part?
00:17:31It is actually a basic ventilation system.
00:17:34It is supposed to allow the ink to reach the tip of the pen easily.
00:17:38OK, I know it's a super common reflex,
00:17:41but it is not really necessary to shake the dispensers of spices
00:17:44to get the product out.
00:17:46You don't believe me? You're not the only one.
00:17:49So go get your favorite salt or pepper bottle in your closet.
00:17:52If it has one of these removable plastic caps,
00:17:55it is perfect for this experiment.
00:17:57Instead of shaking the bottle,
00:17:59try to hold it by the plastic cap
00:18:01while it is upside down.
00:18:03Slowly rotate the bottle from one side to the other
00:18:06and you will see that the condiment will flow
00:18:09without you having to shake the bottle
00:18:11and mess up your kitchen.
00:18:13In the same order of ideas,
00:18:15most salt dispensers and pepper dispensers
00:18:17have strips at the bottom of the upside-down part.
00:18:19In case the seasoning gets stuck inside,
00:18:22place the bottom of the salt dispenser
00:18:24against the bottom of the pepper dispenser
00:18:26and make small circles so that the crepes
00:18:28stick to each other.
00:18:30The condiment should now flow easily
00:18:32without you having to open the bottle.
00:18:35When it is cold,
00:18:36it often happens that you wear so many layers of clothing
00:18:39that you no longer feel the straps of your handbag
00:18:41or your backpack on your shoulders.
00:18:43Not to mention the speed with which it slides.
00:18:46Some jackets have an integrated solution
00:18:48to remedy this problem,
00:18:50in the form of a small strap on the shoulder
00:18:52with a hook or a button.
00:18:54It is designed to open and close easily
00:18:57so that you can keep your handbag in place permanently.
00:19:00Most of the time,
00:19:02a peeler is only used to remove the skin of potatoes,
00:19:04carrots or cucumbers.
00:19:06But you can also use your vegetable peeler
00:19:08to cut thin slices of onion.
00:19:11Just cut the onion into four vertically
00:19:13and then start slicing it.
00:19:15This can also prevent you from crying with your onion.
00:19:20Most people don't pay attention to this,
00:19:22but if you ever look closely at your toothpaste tube,
00:19:25you will certainly see small colored lines,
00:19:28whether they are dots or squares.
00:19:30Colors can vary.
00:19:32They can be black, green, red or even blue.
00:19:35These colored dots are actually intended
00:19:37to help the toothpaste assembly machines.
00:19:40They allow you to know where and when
00:19:42these machines have to cut the toothpaste tubes
00:19:45and fold them to pack them.
00:19:47Look at your shoes.
00:19:49If there is an element that seems a little strange to you,
00:19:51know that it is always there for a good reason.
00:19:54Most manufacturers do not add
00:19:56additional elements to the shoes just for fun.
00:19:58It would be a waste of time and money,
00:20:00you can imagine.
00:20:02On winter shoes, for example,
00:20:04there is often a small loop at the top and back.
00:20:06It is there to help you put them on,
00:20:08because you can adjust it quickly by pulling on it.
00:20:11In addition, it also allows you to suspend the soles somewhere,
00:20:14probably to dry them,
00:20:16because most of these little boots
00:20:18are designed to be worn during the coldest and humidest months.
00:20:21I admit that it has already happened to me at least once
00:20:24to accumulate the layers of clothes to avoid having to put everything in my suitcase.
00:20:28But this becomes problematic when it comes to sitting.
00:20:31What do you do with your coat or jacket?
00:20:33The next time you take the plane,
00:20:35look closer at the seat in front of you.
00:20:38The hook that holds the tablet upright
00:20:40can be used as a hook for your jacket.
00:20:42As long as you don't need to have a meal during the flight,
00:20:45you can use it.
00:20:47Most mascaras last between 3 and 6 months,
00:20:50depending on the manufacturer.
00:20:52But you can speed up this process if you don't pay attention.
00:20:55By continuously pumping the mascara brush
00:20:58to try to distribute more products,
00:21:00you fill the tube with air.
00:21:02The mascara then dries much faster
00:21:04and it damages faster
00:21:06and no longer fulfills its mission as before.
00:21:08There is a simple way to check
00:21:10if your mascara is still good enough to be used.
00:21:13If you don't hear a little plop when you take out the brush,
00:21:16you may need to buy a new one.
00:21:19I know that we live in an era of devices connected by Bluetooth.
00:21:23But for a sound of better quality,
00:21:25it is always recommended to use headphones
00:21:27that connect via audio jacks.
00:21:29Do you remember noticing black stripes on these jacks?
00:21:32They are not there just to hold them
00:21:34when you plug them into your phone or laptop.
00:21:37Made in a special insulating material,
00:21:40these strips are intended to protect the wires
00:21:42during the transmission of sound.
00:21:44Depending on the number of strips,
00:21:46you can guess which end goes where.
00:21:48An empty space under a cup of noodles
00:21:51does not mean that the company that produced them
00:21:53wanted to scam you by depriving you of a complete portion.
00:21:56No, no.
00:21:57It's a way to protect the noodles during their transport.
00:22:00It also facilitates the circulation of hot water
00:22:03that is poured on the noodles before they are tasted.
00:22:07This V-neck collar was originally designed
00:22:09to meet several objectives.
00:22:11First of all, it is a way to extend the life of the garment
00:22:14that will keep its shape over the years.
00:22:17It also serves to pass the head through the sweater
00:22:20in case it needs to be pulled.
00:22:22In this way, it ensures a better grip around the neck.
00:22:26Finally, it helps to absorb sweat
00:22:28if you wear the jacket during a workout session.
00:22:31It is no longer a common practice,
00:22:33but you may one day come across a jacket
00:22:35with an additional mysterious pocket on the right side.
00:22:39It turns out that this pocket was once used by men
00:22:42to easily access their train tickets,
00:22:44because most of them went to work every day.
00:22:48It allowed them to keep their jacket buttoned
00:22:50while benefiting from a pocket.
00:22:52Today, it is no longer a useless decoration.
00:22:55Speaking of things that we no longer use today,
00:22:58or at least not in their initial purpose,
00:23:00did you know that Pledo was originally a cleaning product?
00:23:04In the 1920s,
00:23:06industrialists needed a product
00:23:08that would help them clean the upholstered area
00:23:10around the coal ovens.
00:23:12The recipe for what we know today as Pledo
00:23:15was thus invented.
00:23:17It was made only in white
00:23:19and was supposed to clean the wallpaper
00:23:21by being rolled back and forth on the dirt.
00:23:23It was only later, in the 1940s,
00:23:26that new products intended to clean the wallpaper
00:23:29were born,
00:23:30and that Pledo was redirected to another sector of the market.
00:23:34Although I still enjoy eating a good piece of toasted bread
00:23:37for breakfast,
00:23:38isn't it boring to have to clean the breadcrumbs?
00:23:41Well, not anymore,
00:23:42because I recently discovered that breadcrumbs
00:23:44are equipped with a slide or a panel at the bottom
00:23:47that allows you to easily get rid
00:23:49of all these annoying crumbs.
00:23:51It was a time when video games
00:23:53could only be used by inserting cartridges
00:23:55into the console of your choice.
00:23:57However, these small objects gave a lot of headaches
00:23:59to many doctors.
00:24:01People, especially the youngest,
00:24:03began to end up in the hospital
00:24:05after swallowing small game cartridges.
00:24:07Nintendo, the company that manufactures
00:24:09the majority of these devices,
00:24:11had to find a creative solution
00:24:13to avoid these accidents.
00:24:15This is why, nowadays,
00:24:17Nintendo Switch cartridges
00:24:19are slowly replaced by special chemical products
00:24:21that leave a really unpleasant bitter taste
00:24:23in the mouth.
00:24:25Clearly, I do not recommend you
00:24:27to try and taste for yourself.
00:24:29Have you ever wondered
00:24:31what these additional holes
00:24:33at the top of your sports shoes are for?
00:24:35They are designed so that you can attach
00:24:37the shoes in several different ways.
00:24:39It is useful when you want to compensate
00:24:41for things like a bad stroke,
00:24:43or even a damaged toe.
00:24:45In addition, you can modify the look
00:24:47as you wish.
00:24:49Many people use
00:24:51the cover of their books
00:24:53as a page marker.
00:24:55This is not a problem.
00:24:57Thanks to it, you will not have to frame your pages.
00:24:59But the first goal of a cover
00:25:01is to protect the book
00:25:03from external damage.
00:25:05For example, if you spill fruit juice
00:25:07or drop food on your book
00:25:09while you read it.
00:25:11The tic-tac box has this little groove
00:25:13on the top
00:25:15where you can put the tic-tac box
00:25:17at the same time.
00:25:19Even if, let's be honest,
00:25:21no one does that.
00:25:23Most of us spill a lot of it at once.
00:25:25Then we put all these tic-tac boxes
00:25:27in excess.
00:25:29These little rubber tips
00:25:31that you see between the tire tread
00:25:33are there for your safety.
00:25:35They tell you what is the minimum height
00:25:37of your tread.
00:25:39If the tips and edges are equal,
00:25:41it is time for you to go
00:25:43What about this black grid
00:25:45on the microwave window?
00:25:47This is what we call a Faraday cage.
00:25:49It is there to prevent
00:25:51microwaves from escaping
00:25:53and to turn the whole room
00:25:55into an oven.
00:25:57If microwaves escape,
00:25:59your meal will not be able
00:26:01to cook properly either.
00:26:03Indeed, this cage is not there
00:26:05to prevent you from seeing your meal
00:26:07while it is cooking,
00:26:09but so that the electromagnetic energy
00:26:11from the microwave can escape.
00:26:13And why not a screwdriver
00:26:15compatible with a wrench?
00:26:17Grab your screwdriver
00:26:19with the end of your wrench
00:26:21to increase its torsion force.
00:26:23This is why the head of your screwdriver
00:26:25is designed as it is.
00:26:27When you have weird angles,
00:26:29you can use this strategy.
00:26:31You've probably heard this myth.
00:26:33The blue side of the rubber
00:26:35can erase the pencil.
00:26:37It's wrong.
00:26:39The blue side can also remove
00:26:41these traces that may remain
00:26:43after using the pink rubber.
00:26:45Have you ever wondered
00:26:47why oranges in supermarkets
00:26:49are most often in red mesh bags?
00:26:51It's a tip for the fruits
00:26:53to have a brighter color,
00:26:55which encourages you to buy them.
00:26:57A bonus tip,
00:26:59do not throw away this mesh bag.
00:27:01Tie it to have enough to cook your pans
00:27:03and clean your sink,
00:27:05your kitchen appliances,
00:27:07etc.
00:27:37You may have noticed that there were sometimes small cracks on the top of the toothpicks.
00:27:43It's more hygienic because when you break it, you can press the toothpick on it and it won't touch anything else.
00:27:51Another security device that you will find in your car this time is a strap on your rearview mirror.
00:27:57With it, you can change the position of the mirror so as not to be blinded if there is a car behind you driving in the headlights.
00:28:05This little strap helps you to control the blinding of the lights coming from the rear.
00:28:09This function appeared in the 1930s, but it was only at the beginning of the 1970s that it became a standard equipment for most cars and other trucks.
00:28:19Do you see this little hole on your iPhone?
00:28:21Right next to the rear-facing camera?
00:28:23It's a microphone.
00:28:25And it's there so that your phone can record the sound when you rotate your camera.
00:28:30Some cables have a thick cylinder at the end of the cord.
00:28:34It's called a ferrite core.
00:28:37It's a magnetic iron oxide that stops electromagnetic interferences at high frequencies.
00:28:43You see, for example, this annoying static noise you get if you bring your phone too close to a speaker.
00:28:49It interferes with your call.
00:28:51That's why cable cords with large cylinders are rather useful because they prevent this kind of thing.
00:28:57Do you know why almost all luggage bags and backpacks have two zippers?
00:29:02It's much more practical and easier to open it that way.
00:29:05But that's not all.
00:29:07You can also lock these two sliding zippers together so that the things inside your bags are safe.
00:29:13You know how public places' toilets, like shopping malls, have these large spaces at the bottom of the door?
00:29:19It's mainly for better air circulation.
00:29:23This type of door also allows you to clean the toilets more easily or check if they are occupied when you wait.
00:29:29Apart from that, if you are stuck inside and the lock is broken, you still have a way to escape.
00:29:35You can just crawl out.
00:29:38Have you ever noticed these plastic tips on the cutters?
00:29:42The blade is also curved, which indicates that you can renew it several times, always with sharp edges.
00:29:50You can separate these pieces of blade thanks to these plastic tips.
00:29:53Then you just have to move the sliding part to push this new blade forward.
00:29:58If you have already taken a moment to examine a lambda supermarket cart, especially its foldable section,
00:30:04you have probably noticed these metal loops that protrude.
00:30:08They are designed to protect the items you carry in your cart.
00:30:12You can use them to hang bags containing soft items,
00:30:16such as bread, which you do not want to accidentally crush, with heavier products,
00:30:20or things more easily breakable, such as eggs.
00:30:24Many coffee cups are equipped with curved notches on their bottom.
00:30:27When you wash your cups, place them against the drawer of your dishwasher.
00:30:31This way, water will not accumulate inside and your favorite cup will be completely dry when you take it out of here.
00:30:39If you are a fan of McFlurry, you have probably already noticed that there was a square hole in the handle of their spoon.
00:30:45It is there so that you can attach it to this special machine, which mixes the ice cream with your favorite toppings.
00:30:52The machine has a bar that slides into this square-shaped spoon and gently stirs it.
00:30:58And you are given this spoon to minimize damage during the process.
00:31:02Pretty cool, isn't it?
00:31:05An ordinary can of milk usually has a boss on the side.
00:31:09Some may see a choice of random design, but this boss fulfills several objectives.
00:31:14One of them is to inflate if there is an accumulation of gas.
00:31:17This happens when your milk has turned.
00:31:20Thus, you do not even need to taste it to check.
00:31:23In addition, the boss is there so that the bottle does not explode if you drop it accidentally.
00:31:27It allows a space of expansion, which takes in the sudden pressure that occurs when you drop the bottle.
00:31:34Toothpaste.
00:31:36It is obviously important to take care of your teeth, and it is easy to guess how to use it.
00:31:41But it is also great in the kitchen.
00:31:44Because it is a very precise cake cutter.
00:31:47Much more effective than an ordinary knife.
00:31:52Most kitchen scissors have a keyhole opening right here in the center, where the blades and handles meet.
00:31:58This is something you can use to trim difficult herbs like thyme or rosemary.
00:32:03Thanks to this opening, you do not need to remove the leaves by hand.
00:32:07But you can tear them all in one move.
00:32:11A large part of yoghurt or flan skins are provided with an aluminum foil lid.
00:32:16And in most cases, you can use this lid as a disposable spoon.
00:32:21Just take it off, and after a few simple folds, you will have a small spoon perfect for your 4 hours.
00:32:30You are trying on a jean, a dress or a jacket, and you are about to put your hand in your pocket,
00:32:35when suddenly, you realize that it is impossible.
00:32:38There is no pocket at all.
00:32:41But why sew pockets in which you can not put anything?
00:32:44You can now pick up your iPhone on the floor.
00:32:49Well, the reason is very simple.
00:32:51Adding pockets on some clothes could damage the cut that was initially given to them.
00:32:56They can deform them in the warehouse or on the detailer's showcase.
00:33:02The solution? Get rid of the pockets in the key places.
00:33:06In addition, fake pockets cost much less, and they do not distance themselves.
00:33:11This curious practice dates back to the 17th century.
00:33:14At that time, pockets were removable.
00:33:17They were like small bags, and women, for example, could pass them from one outfit to another.
00:33:22Unfortunately, it was also very practical for pickpockets.
00:33:26Nothing easier than taking hold of his pockets.
00:33:30Then the clothes have evolved.
00:33:32And we started to sew thin pockets instead of these detachable bags.
00:33:37We thought it embellished the silhouette.
00:33:41But soon, narrower skirts appeared.
00:33:44And the pockets went to the trap.
00:33:47People started using handbags instead.
00:33:50Today, most pockets are real.
00:33:52But the fakes have not completely disappeared.
00:33:55So how do we make sure that our clothes have a pocket,
00:33:57and that we will not find a simple hole by putting our hand in it?
00:34:01First, take a look at the seam along the edge of the pocket,
00:34:05where it is supposed to open.
00:34:07If you see a single loose thread, cut a piece and start pulling gently.
00:34:12If the pocket is real, the thread will come out easily.
00:34:16But if the seam does not move, it is very likely that it is a fake pocket.
00:34:22In this case, drop it.
00:34:26Now let's see what other everyday objects have a little secret.
00:34:30For example, these lines on certain varieties of crisps.
00:34:34They help to distribute spices and seasonings.
00:34:38Basically, all these substances that give taste to your crisps are retained between these lines.
00:34:44And then, they make them more crispy.
00:34:48The overlays are filled with a semi-transparent fluorescent ink,
00:34:52which shines under low light.
00:34:55Yellow and light green are the most popular,
00:34:57because they allow you to see the text when you make a black and white photocopy.
00:35:02The photocopiers do not detect these colors, and the page remains clear.
00:35:08In the past, there was a problem with jeans.
00:35:12Workers and miners, who were the first to wear them,
00:35:15often mistreated them during their work.
00:35:18And the seams did not resist and tore.
00:35:22Tiny metal rivets were therefore added to reinforce this popular garment.
00:35:28Most metal zippers lock automatically.
00:35:31That's why you should not leave the zipper pointed up.
00:35:34When you bring it down, it locks, in a way.
00:35:37This is thanks to small grooves hidden under the zipper.
00:35:43Now let's talk about these horizontal lines on plastic bottles.
00:35:47It is thanks to them that the bottles stand up.
00:35:49Some bottles are made of flexible plastic.
00:35:52Without these lines, they would deform.
00:35:54They would be all wrinkled and could even break.
00:35:57The bath foam is not only used to have fun or to perfume the water.
00:36:00It is also used to regulate the temperature.
00:36:02The bubbles retain the heat and you can enjoy your bath longer.
00:36:06With or without plastic ducks.
00:36:10Have you noticed this layer of transparent liquid in the gel-inked pens?
00:36:14This is what is called the follow-up liquid or the stop liquid.
00:36:17The gel of these pens contains dissolved pigment particles in a polymer solution.
00:36:22The gel must be thick enough to hold the particles in suspension.
00:36:26But also fluid enough to flow first on the ball, then on the paper.
00:36:31The stop liquid prevents the gel from evaporating or flowing.
00:36:37Without this transparent fluid, your gel-inked pen would not write.
00:36:41The fluid is fixed and does not dissolve with the gel.
00:36:45It does not move backwards and does not flow out of the pen.
00:36:50The holes at the bottom of your headphones allow the air to circulate and pass through the speakers.
00:36:55This increases the low frequencies, which improves the quality of the low sounds.
00:36:59And the sound quality in general is improved.
00:37:03Some plastic milk containers have holes on the side.
00:37:07It is that they do not stop hitting each other.
00:37:11These holes have several functions.
00:37:14First of all, when the milk stops, it usually causes a swelling and an increase in pressure inside the container.
00:37:22This is when the hole is useful.
00:37:25It inflates and prevents the container from bursting.
00:37:27In addition, if you decide to freeze your milk, it will spread like any other liquid.
00:37:32And this hole will swell and your bottle of milk will remain intact in your freezer.
00:37:37A good thing!
00:37:40Airplanes' wings have rounded edges and this is very important for safety.
00:37:45This avoids accidents.
00:37:47The weak points are generally located in the corners.
00:37:50If the plane's wings were square or rectangular, they would therefore have four weak points.
00:37:55With the pressure, it could be catastrophic.
00:37:59If you look closely at the air cables of the railways, you will see that they zigzag instead of running in a straight line.
00:38:06All railways have pantographs on their roofs.
00:38:11The upper part of the pantograph gradually sweats at the contact of the cable.
00:38:16In the end, it must be replaced.
00:38:19For it to sweat uniformly, the cables do not follow a straight line, but in a zigzag.
00:38:24The railway advances and its pantograph sweats more slowly.
00:38:29You may have already wondered why some gas cans have two holes with caps, a large one and a smaller one.
00:38:36Before, I thought that the small hole was used to pour the liquid into a small container.
00:38:40But I was wrong.
00:38:42And it's very rare.
00:38:44In reality, you have to uncap it before pouring your gas through the large hole.
00:38:49You will avoid it from sticking and spreading on the ground by accident.
00:38:53Most of the buttons of a shirt are vertical.
00:38:57But those at the top, and sometimes at the bottom, are horizontal.
00:39:01The reason is simple.
00:39:03These two buttons slide more often than the others.
00:39:06Fortunately, the manufacturers have found a solution to prevent these buttons from sliding.
00:39:10Horizontal buttons.
00:39:12What ingenuity!
00:39:14The buttons are less often found in this type of buttons.
00:39:17The sugar or salt sachets are easier to open than you think.
00:39:20It is not necessary to tear one of the ends.
00:39:23The right method is to tear them in the middle.
00:39:27Some boots have loops at the top of the heel.
00:39:30They are used to put your shoes on more easily.
00:39:33You just have to pull on the loop while you push your heel into the boot.
00:39:37You can also use these loops to hang your shoes when they are dirty or when you want to dry them after washing.
00:39:44You can also pass your laces through the loop if you want to hang your shoes.
00:39:48When you are in a plane, you may notice a small triangle above your seat.
00:39:53These triangles indicate to the on-board staff the best places to check the flights of the plane through the canopy.
00:39:58You are never too safe.
00:40:00If your shoes are really too slippery, you just need to take some sandpaper and rub it on your soles.
00:40:06They will hang better and you can wear them when it rains.
00:40:10But be careful not to sand them too much.
00:40:13Your feet could get dirty.
00:40:15If you drill a few holes in the bottom of your bin, it will be easier for you to place and take out your bags.
00:40:20The air will circulate better and you won't hold them anymore.
00:40:24You will usually find silica gel in your bags, shoes and many other things you buy.
00:40:30This gel absorbs excess humidity.
00:40:32Don't throw away your bags.
00:40:34Every time your shoes are wet, put a few of them inside.
00:40:38If your shoes are wet, put a few of them inside.
00:40:41Every time your shoes are wet, put a few of them inside.
00:40:46Thermoses were not invented to keep your coffee hot.
00:40:50They were designed by a Scottish scientist who wanted to keep his chemical products at a stable temperature.
00:40:56So he took two bottles, put the smallest inside the largest and removed the air between the two.
00:41:02But it's still convenient for picnics.
00:41:06If you see it in the street, you think that a fire mouth is about one meter high.
00:41:11But the real size of this device, used to supply water to firefighters around the world, is twice as large.
00:41:17If we count the rest of the fire mouth that is hidden underground.
00:41:21Most of the time, they are red.
00:41:23And it's not just a matter of urban design.
00:41:25First of all, they must be bright and easily identifiable, so that firefighters can locate them quickly if necessary.
00:41:31In the USA, the choice of color depends on the amount of water that the fire mouth can contain.
00:41:35It can sometimes vary depending on the place, but here is the logic.
00:41:38A red fire mouth can project 1,890 liters of water per minute.
00:41:43While an orange one, at least 3,780 liters.
00:41:47Green ones can pour 5,680 liters of water per minute.
00:41:51And the biggest, blue ones, can generally provide more than 5,680 liters.
00:41:57Hi, bowling fans!
00:41:59It doesn't bother you that your bowling ball is cracking?
00:42:01It turns out that most of them can be damaged due to poor storage or temperature peaks.
00:42:05Now, let's be honest.
00:42:07Since it is already a little broken, you are not curious to know what is inside your bowling ball?
00:42:11Because I am.
00:42:13Let's take a look.
00:42:15The inner core of the ball is mainly composed of metallic powder oxides, such as calcium oxide or iron.
00:42:20They are mixed with resin and a catalyst to harden the whole thing.
00:42:24Thus, the shape of the bulb that you now see inside the ball is in fact its heaviest part.
00:42:29It also influences the way the bowling ball turns when it crosses the track.
00:42:32The same goes for paint bombs.
00:42:34When you shake it, it makes a strange noise.
00:42:37But what is this thing inside?
00:42:39It is a small weight, which is supposed to keep the paint mixture in place and keep its shape.
00:42:44It is generally made of plastic, metal or ceramic.
00:42:47It is mainly used as a whip to ensure that the paint is well mixed before applying it to the surface of your choice.
00:42:54Have you ever wondered how the bottles of soda kept this sparkling and refreshing for so long?
00:42:58Well, they have a small plastic seal attached to the lid.
00:43:01It is installed here to prevent the gas from escaping and the drink from becoming flat.
00:43:06Even if you shake it in your bag all day long.
00:43:10Speaking of things that are used when it is very hot.
00:43:13Wait, wait, don't put on your cap yet.
00:43:16Look at it for a moment and you will notice that there is a small button at the top.
00:43:20It is used for something or it is just there to look pretty.
00:43:23Some claim that at the time when people wore hats,
00:43:25this button was used for something.
00:43:28As it is above the cap, where all the pieces of fabric meet,
00:43:31the upper button helps to keep the crown of the cap in one piece.
00:43:35Today, thanks to recent projects in the field of fabric design and patterns,
00:43:39this button has rather become an aesthetic element.
00:43:42It is used to cover the part where all the pieces of fabric meet.
00:43:45Your cap may not have a button, but don't you think it is cooler with it?
00:43:50Cotton discs are also used to cover the cap.
00:43:53Cotton discs have two sides.
00:43:56And if you take the time to look at them carefully, you will see that they have different textures.
00:44:00In case you are wondering why, the side with the texture is used to put on the makeup
00:44:04and the flat side is used to remove it.
00:44:08Book lovers, this is for you.
00:44:11The jackets that come with many books with rigid covers are not only intended to embellish the book.
00:44:15They can also serve as bookmarks.
00:44:17Just fold the pages you have already read under the inside of the jacket.
00:44:20And that's it.
00:44:22The next time you take your favorite shirt, take a look at the buttonhole at the top.
00:44:27It must be sewn horizontally, while all the others are vertical.
00:44:31It turns out that the city shirt was designed this way
00:44:34since the first and last button are the first to unbutton during the day.
00:44:38They therefore modified the direction of the buttonhole
00:44:41so that the shirt stays well adjusted before you are ready to remove it.
00:44:46Nowadays, we have so many different versions of this incredible dessert
00:44:50that you can imagine that we could have lived without it.
00:44:53You can find almost everywhere different types of chocolate chip cookies,
00:44:56in ice cream or even in cakes.
00:44:58But this famous cookie only came to life in 1930.
00:45:01The story goes that a woman named Ruth Grave Wakefield
00:45:05was preparing chocolate cookies while waiting for her guests to arrive.
00:45:08Very quickly, she realized that she no longer had pastry chocolate,
00:45:12an essential ingredient to prepare classic biscuits.
00:45:15To remedy this situation, she bought a half-sweet chocolate bar
00:45:17by thinking that it would end up evenly distributed in the dough
00:45:21given the heat of the oven.
00:45:23Things did not necessarily go as she had planned.
00:45:25But that's good, because that's how she invented this modern dessert
00:45:28that we can no longer do without.
00:45:32And speaking of popular snacks,
00:45:34chips are even younger than chocolate chip cookies.
00:45:37At least from a historical point of view.
00:45:39There are many stories that try to explain how they were invented.
00:45:43One of them is the following.
00:45:44A chef named George Crum, based in New York,
00:45:47created the chips in 1953.
00:45:50He wanted to try a new cooking method
00:45:53when one of his customers was full of his fries.
00:45:56He said they were too thick and a little soft.
00:46:00Crum then imagined finely chopped potatoes and fries
00:46:03until they were brown.
00:46:05People loved this dish
00:46:07and welcomed this very first batch of chips to Bresouvert.
00:46:12Ice cream, anyone?
00:46:14In fact, in 1904, at the Saint Louis Universal Exhibition,
00:46:18an ice cream vendor ran out of cups to serve his specialty.
00:46:21So he made a cone-shaped waffle
00:46:24and the rest now belongs to history.
00:46:27Okay, I admit it,
00:46:29similar products to chewing gum have existed since Ancient Greece.
00:46:32So this discovery is not particularly revolutionary.
00:46:35But the chewing gum we buy today
00:46:37appeared at the end of the 1800s.
00:46:39An American inventor named Thomas Adams
00:46:41wanted to mix different chemical products
00:46:44to create synthetic rubber.
00:46:46He tried and failed to exploit the properties of gum
00:46:49for his experiment,
00:46:51but he ended up creating this delicious snack.
00:46:53Today, we still use gum
00:46:55to produce a certain number of chewing gums.
00:46:57In the 1800s, a man named Jean-Baptiste Joly
00:47:00worked in the textile industry
00:47:02as a fabric manufacturer.
00:47:04The discovery of the following invention,
00:47:06which we use a lot nowadays,
00:47:08has a little to do with him
00:47:10The story goes that the woman accidentally
00:47:13threw a kerosene lamp on a tablecloth.
00:47:15Instead of getting angry when seeing the damaged fabric,
00:47:18Joly noticed that the substance
00:47:20had actually cleaned the fabric.
00:47:22You already understood.
00:47:24Yes, this is how the very first pressing was born.
00:47:27A very clean accident,
00:47:29if I may say so.
00:47:32Now, I love this one.
00:47:34Did you know that matches were originally called
00:47:36friction lights?
00:47:37In any case, this is the name their inventor,
00:47:39a chemist named John Walker,
00:47:41gave them in 1826.
00:47:43One day, he scratched a chemical product
00:47:45coated stick on his chimney by pure chance,
00:47:48and realized that it was igniting
00:47:50and creating sparks.
00:47:52Originally made of cardboard,
00:47:54they were then made from
00:47:56wooden rods and glass paper.
00:47:59In the 1940s,
00:48:01a man named Harry Coover
00:48:03came across a chemical formula
00:48:05that seemed to adhere to everything it touched.
00:48:07However, the scientist of the time
00:48:09did not think much about the question,
00:48:11because the formula did not seem to have
00:48:13many applications at the time.
00:48:15It was only in 1951 that he thought
00:48:17a little more about the formula
00:48:19and decided to reuse it,
00:48:21with another researcher,
00:48:23Distman Kodak, named Fred Joyner.
00:48:25They used a complete name,
00:48:27adhesive composition based on
00:48:29cyanacrylate, methyl,
00:48:31but you must know it under the shorter version,
00:48:33superglue.
00:48:35It has so much use in terms of security
00:48:37that in 1903,
00:48:39a scientist named Edouard Bénédictus
00:48:41dropped a bottle by accident.
00:48:43Looking down,
00:48:45he was amazed to see that the bottle
00:48:47had slightly melted,
00:48:49but had retained its shape.
00:48:51He expected it to break into a thousand pieces.
00:48:53Intrigued by this unknown peculiarity until then,
00:48:55he pondered the question
00:48:57and discovered that what kept the glass in place
00:48:59was a substance, nitrate of cellulose,
00:49:01which covered the inside of the glass.
00:49:03This is how humanity discovered
00:49:05the glass of security.
00:49:07Crackers are holes
00:49:09to prevent them from cracking
00:49:11and breaking during cooking.
00:49:13Without these holes,
00:49:15steam would accumulate in the dough
00:49:17until it burst.
00:49:19If you look at the capsule of a soda bottle,
00:49:21you will notice that there is a plastic disc inside.
00:49:23It is used to seal the liquid and gases
00:49:25so that the drink remains sparkling.
00:49:27The long neck of the bottle is designed
00:49:29to encourage you to hold it there.
00:49:31In this way,
00:49:33the heat of your hand will only heat
00:49:35this part of the bottle
00:49:37and not the other.
00:49:39It is difficult to see the dishes
00:49:41when they are in the microwave oven
00:49:43because of this black satin gray on the glass.
00:49:45But if it is there,
00:49:47it is to prevent the harmful waves
00:49:49from escaping.
00:49:51Acting like a shield of Faraday,
00:49:53it serves to protect you
00:49:55while ensuring adequate cooking of the food.
00:49:57Some products,
00:49:59such as chips packets,
00:50:01contain up to 43% nitrogen.
00:50:03One might think that we are sold
00:50:05to a half-filled bag of air
00:50:07so that the contact with the chips
00:50:09would induce a reaction
00:50:11that would quickly make them rust.
00:50:13This phenomenon, called oxidation,
00:50:15bears its name.
00:50:17Nitrogen, on the other hand,
00:50:19is an inert gas that keeps food
00:50:21and prevents it from getting damaged
00:50:23during transport.
00:50:25Chips packed in an air cushion
00:50:27remain crispy
00:50:29and do not risk turning into crumbs.
00:50:31Donuts are hollowed
00:50:33so that the outside and the inside
00:50:35cook uniformly.
00:50:37This is why they are so crispy.
00:50:39Marks on paper sheets
00:50:41are not used to write
00:50:43the dates or the numbering lists.
00:50:45They were originally added
00:50:47to fulfill a protection function.
00:50:49At the time,
00:50:51rats were a real problem in houses
00:50:53and paper was one of their main favorites.
00:50:55Marks were used
00:50:57as a security device.
00:50:59Rats would rather nibble on the white paper
00:51:01which encoded the part
00:51:03intended for writing.
00:51:05This hole in the stem of your saucer
00:51:07is used to prevent ingestion.
00:51:09It is used to hold the donut in place.
00:51:11The water-filled confectionery
00:51:13enters the hollow of the stem
00:51:15and, once solidified,
00:51:17holds the saucer in place.
00:51:19In this process,
00:51:21it would be more fragile
00:51:23and would come off easily.
00:51:25Vacuum cleaners have a lot of accessories
00:51:27but do we really know
00:51:29what this long brush is for?
00:51:31It is useful for dust removal
00:51:33and its shape is perfectly adapted
00:51:35for cleaning frames, curtains
00:51:37and a plastic belt.
00:51:39Not only does a cedar belt
00:51:41allow you to adjust the shape of clothes
00:51:43but it also repels mites
00:51:45and other insects.
00:51:47Salt is not only useful in the kitchen.
00:51:49It can get rid of strong odors.
00:51:51Rubbing salt on your fingers
00:51:53after chopping garlic
00:51:55should get rid of the smell
00:51:57and it also works for shoes.
00:51:59The breadcrumbs have a secret drawer
00:52:01in the bottom
00:52:03that can be removed
00:52:04with a small piece of bread.
00:52:06If you can't get chocolate out of the box,
00:52:08look at these little holes next to it.
00:52:10They are there to help you.
00:52:12If you press one of these holes,
00:52:14the chocolate will come out easily.
00:52:16When you drink a sip of coffee
00:52:18in a cup with a lid,
00:52:20the pressure in the cup decreases
00:52:22and the air tries to enter.
00:52:24The little hole on the lid
00:52:26allows the air to circulate
00:52:28and the drink can flow smoothly
00:52:30through the main opening.
00:52:32And it's not over.
00:52:34They are used to inform
00:52:36the staff and customers
00:52:38about the contents of the cups
00:52:40in order to differentiate them.
00:52:42There is a legend
00:52:44about each little refill.
00:52:46You just have to look at which one is filled
00:52:48to know what it corresponds to.
00:52:50The numbers on the fruit labels
00:52:52give us information
00:52:54about how they were grown.
00:52:56If there are four numbers,
00:52:58the first one is a 4 or a 3,
00:53:00the fruit was treated with pesticides.
00:53:02If there are five numbers,
00:53:04the first one is an 8,
00:53:06it has undergone genetic modifications.
00:53:08When you are on your way to your car
00:53:10after you have finished
00:53:12and packed all your shopping,
00:53:14remember to use the hooks
00:53:16on the cart to hang the bags.
00:53:18This way, the most fragile items
00:53:20like bread, eggs,
00:53:22or fruits and vegetables
00:53:24will not be crushed
00:53:26by the heavier products.
00:53:28If you have no one with you
00:53:30to help you hold your tape measure
00:53:32when you try to measure something,
00:53:34you just have to unroll it.
00:53:36The McFlurry square spoon
00:53:38is designed to easily mix
00:53:40the fillings with the ice.
00:53:42It hooks directly to a machine
00:53:44and starts spinning.
00:53:46The external hooks
00:53:48suck quickly because of the rain.
00:53:50You see this little hole down there?
00:53:52It is used to pour engine oil.
00:53:54This trick allows you
00:53:56to lubricate the mechanism
00:53:58and the key should spin again
00:54:00effortlessly.
00:54:02You've been hitting the bottom
00:54:04but nothing comes out?
00:54:06Here's a little trick.
00:54:08Put the bottle diagonally
00:54:10and tap it towards the middle of the neck.
00:54:12In many fast foods,
00:54:14customers have small paper cups
00:54:16folded to serve ketchup or mustard.
00:54:18Ready for the scoop?
00:54:20These little ramekins
00:54:22are actually supposed to unfold
00:54:24to become real little paper plates
00:54:26that can hold a lot more sauce.
00:54:28The little hole on the handle
00:54:30of the pans or pans
00:54:32is not only used to hang them
00:54:34but also as a utensil
00:54:36that you can use in this hollow.
00:54:38It will be held above the preparation
00:54:40that is being cooked
00:54:42and will prevent splinters.
00:54:44The colored hairs of a toothbrush
00:54:46are there to tell us
00:54:48when it is necessary to change them.
00:54:50If you notice that these hairs
00:54:52are considerably pale,
00:54:54change your toothbrush
00:54:56or just your head depending on the case.
00:54:58The upper hole of the sink
00:55:00has many functions.
00:55:02First, it prevents water from overflowing
00:55:04by allowing the air to escape
00:55:06while the water is flowing.
00:55:08Most of the metal shutters
00:55:10have a hidden locking system
00:55:12that can save you from awkward moments
00:55:14like an open bracket.
00:55:16Don't let the strap go up.
00:55:18If you lower the strap,
00:55:20the closure locks automatically.
00:55:22All thanks to these little notches
00:55:24placed under the tongue.
00:55:26Fermented milk produces gases
00:55:28like most fermented foods.
00:55:30Some plastic milk cans
00:55:32have a concave part on one side.
00:55:34This part of the bottle will inflate
00:55:36and the concave shape becomes convex.
00:55:38The same thing will happen
00:55:40if you put the can in the freezer.
00:55:42The solidified milk takes up more space
00:55:44than the liquid form.
00:55:46The foam bath is not only made
00:55:48to have fun and feel good.
00:55:50It also regulates the temperature.
00:55:52The bubbles keep the water warm
00:55:54and you can enjoy your bath longer.
00:55:56However, it only works
00:55:58for acrylic baths,
00:56:00those made of metal
00:56:02that quickly lose heat in all cases.
00:56:04These mugs have small grooves
00:56:06on the bottom.
00:56:08This is designed for dishwashers.
00:56:10They allow water to flow
00:56:12and thus avoid getting everywhere
00:56:14when you get out of the dishwasher.
00:56:16These grooves help to circulate the air
00:56:18so that the cup does not crack
00:56:20even if the tea is boiling.
00:56:22The small tips in the cream tube caps
00:56:24are also useful.
00:56:26Most of the tubes
00:56:28are sealed with aluminum.
00:56:30It is impossible to pierce
00:56:32without saying goodbye to your nails.
00:56:34The escalator brushes
00:56:36are not used to clean and polish
00:56:38your shoes by the way.
00:56:40Applying wax on a moving escalator
00:56:42can be complex.
00:56:44These brushes are there
00:56:46for safety reasons
00:56:48by preventing users
00:56:50from approaching the edge of the steps.
00:56:52They reduce the risk
00:56:54that the bottom of a long coat
00:56:56or ripped pants
00:56:58get stuck between the steps.
00:57:00All tic-tac boxes are designed
00:57:02to make only one tic-tac come out at a time.
00:57:04If you open it,
00:57:06you will see that there is only one tic-tac in the lid.
00:57:08If you shake the box
00:57:10until it is full
00:57:12you do not know how to eat tic-tac.
00:57:14Originally, the pompom on the caps
00:57:16was not just a fashion accessory.
00:57:18It prevented sailors
00:57:20from hitting their heads
00:57:22on the ceiling,
00:57:24typically very low, of ships.
00:57:26The cylinder at the end of a cable
00:57:28is placed there
00:57:30and seems totally useless.
00:57:32In fact, it is a ferrite pearl
00:57:34to reduce electromagnetic interference.
00:57:36The electric wires
00:57:38act as involuntary antennas
00:57:40and diffuse the emitted energy.
00:57:42There is a reason
00:57:44why the tray inside the microwave
00:57:46is circular.
00:57:48A circular object
00:57:50evenly distributes heat
00:57:52unlike rectangular or square objects.
00:57:54When you place containers
00:57:56with these shapes inside,
00:57:58the energy is concentrated on the corners
00:58:00instead of being evenly distributed
00:58:02like in a round container.
00:58:04The temperature gauge
00:58:06of a bread grill
00:58:08is generally used
00:58:10to determine the degree of cooking of the tarts.
00:58:12But the other, more specific use
00:58:14of the gauge
00:58:16is that of different types of bread.
00:58:18White and sweet breads
00:58:20heat up much faster
00:58:22than brown and rye breads,
00:58:24which are heavier.
00:58:26The older the bread,
00:58:28the more time it will need
00:58:30in the bread grill
00:58:32to get the golden result
00:58:34you probably think
00:58:36that the goal is to cool the oven
00:58:38after use.
00:58:40In fact,
00:58:42its goal is to focus
00:58:44on the cooking of the top of the dish
00:58:46and ensure a crispy layer.
00:58:48By controlling the accumulation of heat
00:58:50and steam
00:58:52by releasing it through the slightly open door,
00:58:54you get the desired result
00:58:56without cooking the whole dish
00:58:58until it is crispy.
00:59:00You have probably noticed
00:59:02that your dishwasher
00:59:04must be oriented towards the center
00:59:06and not all in the same direction.
00:59:08The types of food on the plates
00:59:10will also determine
00:59:12their location in the drawers.
00:59:14As the center of the machine
00:59:16receives the strongest gel,
00:59:18the glucid-based stains
00:59:20from tomatoes and potatoes
00:59:22must be placed in this place.
00:59:24The detergent is more concentrated
00:59:26on the outside during cleaning,
00:59:28which creates a cascade-shaped cleaning.
00:59:30This is why protein-based stains
00:59:32such as those of eggs, for example,
00:59:34must be placed in this place.
00:59:36The ceiling fans
00:59:38push the fresh air down
00:59:40when it is hot,
00:59:42making the room circulate.
00:59:44But they can serve you
00:59:46just as effectively in winter
00:59:48if you engage the switch on the side
00:59:50or if you use the pull.
00:59:52So if you want to save money
00:59:54on heating
00:59:56and try to heat your room quickly
00:59:58on a cold day,
01:00:00put the fan in motion.
01:00:02It will push the air up
01:00:04and you will always have post-it notes
01:00:06instead of these new sophisticated applications
01:00:08on all imaginable devices.
01:00:10Welcome to the club!
01:00:12Whatever you use,
01:00:14they always end up falling.
01:00:16If you have already encountered this problem,
01:00:18it is because you took them off
01:00:20from the bottom to the top.
01:00:22It is this way of doing things
01:00:24that causes the roll-over.
01:00:26By taking them off on the side,
01:00:28you make sure they stay flat
01:00:30and ready to remind you of your daily tasks.
01:00:32Did you know that the open boxes
01:00:34have become commonplace?
01:00:36So how was it possible
01:00:38to open a can box before?
01:00:40There are a few alternative methods
01:00:42in case you have missed
01:00:44your faithful open box.
01:00:46All you need is a metal spoon.
01:00:48Place the box on the work surface,
01:00:50hold it firmly
01:00:52and hold the spoon head well.
01:00:54Press and rub vigorously
01:00:56the edge of the lid of the box
01:00:58on a small surface.
01:01:00This takes time,
01:01:02but by rubbing,
01:01:04you get the idea.
01:01:06Once the hole is wide enough
01:01:08to pass the tip of the spoon,
01:01:10put the lever on the lid
01:01:12and keep rubbing the edges
01:01:14until you can finally
01:01:16access the meal it contains.
01:01:18You have won!
01:01:20Most toilets depend on
01:01:22the pressure of the water
01:01:24and the gravity to function.
01:01:26A power failure will not affect them.
01:01:28But if yours need electricity
01:01:30to function,
01:01:32you should worry about their use
01:01:34and not about pulling the flush.
01:01:36As the mechanism of the flush
01:01:38always works,
01:01:40open the toilet tank,
01:01:42pour a few liters
01:01:44and you can flush
01:01:46everything you need.
01:01:48The plugs in the shower pipes
01:01:50occur over a long period.
01:01:52It is inevitable.
01:01:54We lose 50 to 100 hairs a day
01:01:56and many of them
01:01:58try to fit in our shower pipes.
01:02:00The hair is the main source
01:02:02of obstruction,
01:02:04a good thing
01:02:06is to use your vacuum cleaner
01:02:08and put the tip in the hole
01:02:10after removing the grid.
01:02:12Use a damp cloth
01:02:14around the tip
01:02:16making sure that the air
01:02:18cannot escape.
01:02:20The vacuum cleaner
01:02:22will be able to vacuum
01:02:24things that obstruct
01:02:26much more easily.
01:02:28You will thus avoid the
01:02:30plumber's costs
01:02:32who use this technique themselves.
01:02:34The vacuum cleaner
01:02:36is firm and stable
01:02:38and it continues to burn
01:02:40more slowly
01:02:42for a longer period.
01:02:44The empty space between
01:02:46the windows of the oven door
01:02:48is there for a good reason.
01:02:50You can slide a brush
01:02:52to clean the window
01:02:54of the oven door.
01:02:56It is easy to access
01:02:58this space from the bottom
01:03:00of the door.
01:03:02Open the lower part
01:03:04of the door
01:03:06to get a good distance
01:03:08before the bumper
01:03:10makes a notch on the wall.
01:03:12Stretching a rope
01:03:14with a tennis ball
01:03:16from the ceiling
01:03:18at a good distance
01:03:20will help you learn
01:03:22the best distance to respect
01:03:24to park compared to the wall.
01:03:26We have all been told
01:03:28to unlock a lock
01:03:30with WD-40 or lubricant.
01:03:32Yes, we all know
01:03:34how to insert it into the lock.
01:03:36Keep doing it
01:03:38until the lock hole
01:03:40is well lubricated
01:03:42and the key works.
01:03:44The pliers are likely
01:03:46to damage the taps
01:03:48and shower heads
01:03:50when you use them
01:03:52to repair them
01:03:54and they are also
01:03:56difficult to grab.
01:03:58Take two pieces
01:04:00of the end of an old
01:04:02watering pipe
01:04:04or a used rubber
01:04:06for different things
01:04:08in the house.
01:04:10When you have enough
01:04:12to tighten or loosen
01:04:14a screw with a screwdriver,
01:04:16try using a simple rubber
01:04:18by placing a piece
01:04:20in the handle of the screwdriver
01:04:22and it will have
01:04:24a much better grip.
01:04:26Moving cement blocks
01:04:28is not harmless
01:04:30to the lower back.
01:04:32Even with a wheelbarrow,
01:04:34you can easily
01:04:36break a block.
01:04:38Try lifting the edge
01:04:40of the first pipe
01:04:42with a lever
01:04:44then push and move it
01:04:46by gradually moving
01:04:48the three pipes
01:04:50to the desired place.
01:04:52Just make sure
01:04:54you don't do it
01:04:56in a slope.
01:04:58The first time you
01:05:00plant a nail
01:05:02can be a great success
01:05:04when you work
01:05:06with a circular saw
01:05:08to make sure
01:05:10the marks are not erased.
01:05:12They will also be
01:05:14easier to see
01:05:16under the water.
01:05:18Checking the pipes
01:05:20on the roof
01:05:22and determining
01:05:24when they need
01:05:26to be cleaned
01:05:28can take a long time.
01:05:30Using tape,
01:05:32attach a mirror
01:05:34to the pipes
01:05:36to ensure
01:05:38extra security.
01:05:40Liquid cement products
01:05:42usually come in
01:05:44huge tubes
01:05:46so you can never
01:05:48use them all at once.
01:05:50The hard tips
01:05:52create nozzles.
01:05:54Take a used lime nozzle
01:05:56and drill it
01:05:58to make a lid
01:06:00that covers the liquid cement.
01:06:02It is now ready
01:06:04to be used.
01:06:06You can use it
01:06:08in many ways
01:06:10but do you know
01:06:12that brass door handles
01:06:14are really useful
01:06:16in addition to being elegant
01:06:18and shiny?
01:06:20As it is a copper alloy,
01:06:22brass has antimicrobial properties.
01:06:24This means
01:06:26it can help
01:06:28eliminate germs
01:06:30and harmful bacteria
01:06:32sometimes in less than 2 hours.
01:06:34Speaking of beautiful polyvalent objects,
01:06:36most screwdrivers
01:06:38have a little secret.
01:06:40They can sometimes
01:06:42slide into a key
01:06:44to create more torque
01:06:46when torqued
01:06:48and are useful
01:06:50in hard-to-reach places.
01:06:52The buttons on women's shirts
01:06:54are for the left-handed
01:06:56and have nothing to do with fashion.
01:06:58This practice dates back
01:07:00to the time
01:07:02when women helped
01:07:04to put buttons on men's shirts.
01:07:06The fact that buttons are placed
01:07:08in this way
01:07:10is a sign of wealth.
01:07:12It is easy to imagine
01:07:14why this practice has persisted
01:07:16even though most people
01:07:18dress themselves nowadays.
01:07:20The next time you receive
01:07:22a package in your mail,
01:07:24take a look at the cutter.
01:07:26If it has diagonal lines
01:07:28on the blade,
01:07:30you will benefit
01:07:32from a small design advantage.
01:07:34With the cutter,
01:07:36the upper segment of the next line
01:07:38can break
01:07:40to get a new super-cutting edge.
01:07:42To do this,
01:07:44look at the small hole
01:07:46at the base of the tool,
01:07:48sometimes called the blade breaker.
01:07:50The people who came up
01:07:52with this brilliant invention
01:07:54are engineers
01:07:56who were inspired
01:07:58by the way chocolate bars
01:08:00are divided.
01:08:02Wait a minute!
01:08:04Chocolate bars
01:08:06absorb moisture
01:08:08from their environment
01:08:10so that you can keep
01:08:12these bags for other occasions.
01:08:14If you need to dry your phone
01:08:16or another electrical object,
01:08:18you can put it in a container
01:08:20next to silicon gel
01:08:22to reduce damage.
01:08:24No need to be a mechanic
01:08:26to know when the tires
01:08:28of a standard car
01:08:30must be replaced
01:08:32because they are equipped
01:08:34with a special coating.
01:08:36This is the sign
01:08:38that you must contact
01:08:40your local car service
01:08:42because it is very likely
01:08:44that the tires have lost
01:08:46most of their traction
01:08:48and that they are no longer
01:08:50safe for driving.
01:08:52The upper corners of a car's windshield
01:08:54have textured black dots
01:08:56integrated at the edge of the glass.
01:08:58This detail is not there
01:09:00for design reasons.
01:09:02It is a coated coating,
01:09:04designed to hide
01:09:06and create a rough surface
01:09:08for the glue used
01:09:10to put the windshield in place.
01:09:12Every time you hit the road,
01:09:14check if there is a small bar
01:09:16under the rearview mirror of your car.
01:09:18I bet you didn't know
01:09:20it was there to help
01:09:22the rearview mirror
01:09:24switch from day vision
01:09:26to night vision.
01:09:28It uses a prismatic glass technology
01:09:30to blur the reflection
01:09:32and reduce the glow
01:09:34of the rearview mirror.
01:09:36It became the norm
01:09:38in the 1970s.
01:09:40When you are in the car,
01:09:42take a look at the headrests
01:09:44because you probably don't know
01:09:46that they have a hidden function.
01:09:48Of course, they can be adjusted
01:09:50to suit all sizes of passengers
01:09:52so that they benefit
01:09:54from adequate support
01:09:56for their head and neck.
01:09:58The hidden feature
01:10:00is that they are detachable
01:10:02and have two very solid metal bars.
01:10:04So, you are driving around
01:10:06and you suddenly run out of gas.
01:10:08What I am about to describe
01:10:10is more like a joke
01:10:12than a real situation
01:10:14likely to occur.
01:10:16But what happens
01:10:18if you are in such a hurry
01:10:20that you accidentally leave
01:10:22with the gasoline gun
01:10:24still in the tank?
01:10:26Well, the guns were designed
01:10:28to avoid any risk,
01:10:30rest assured.
01:10:32They have a separation device
01:10:34that is designed
01:10:36to be worn exclusively
01:10:38by basketball players.
01:10:40Baskets have quickly become
01:10:42one of the most fashionable items
01:10:44just like jeans
01:10:46and leather jackets.
01:10:48If you take a closer look,
01:10:50you will see that they have
01:10:52two additional holes
01:10:54on the side
01:10:56that look like shoe laces.
01:10:58They are designed
01:11:00not only to provide
01:11:02additional ventilation
01:11:04but also to keep
01:11:06the air inside.
01:11:08So, you always thought
01:11:10that the baskets
01:11:12are attached to an end
01:11:14in order to keep them together
01:11:16until you are ready
01:11:18to start your meal.
01:11:20This may not be quite true.
01:11:22If you take a closer look,
01:11:24you will see that these wooden tools
01:11:26have a square-shaped end.
01:11:28The baskets made in this way
01:11:30come from an old Japanese
01:11:32traditional design
01:11:34that can be reused
01:11:36since they will not touch the table
01:11:38or any other surface.
01:11:40Women's bikes have a special design
01:11:42that surprisingly has a historical
01:11:44and fashionable function.
01:11:46The lower frame is largely
01:11:48intended to compensate
01:11:50for the generally smaller size
01:11:52of women compared to
01:11:54that of a normal man.
01:11:56If this is the case for the handlebars
01:11:58and the saddle,
01:12:00the general frame is lower
01:12:02for an additional reason.
01:12:04This is why we designed
01:12:06a bike with a lower frame
01:12:08that is perfect for women
01:12:10and their needs of the time.
01:12:12The fact that the toothpaste
01:12:14is multicolored is not only
01:12:16a nice advantage to make
01:12:18dental hygiene more fun.
01:12:20There is a secret explanation
01:12:22related to each of the colors
01:12:24dating back to the 1970s.
01:12:26At that time, people were
01:12:28increasingly interested
01:12:30in their oral dental health
01:12:32and were therefore looking for
01:12:34an alternative.
01:12:36The company was the first
01:12:38to add a mouthwash
01:12:40to its toothpaste,
01:12:42that is, the blue strip.
01:12:44It then added the red strip
01:12:46intended to contain ingredients
01:12:48that help you take care
01:12:50of your gums.
01:12:52Speaking of toothpaste,
01:12:54check the cap the next time
01:12:56you open a new tube
01:12:58and you may have a little surprise.
01:13:00There is a kind of pointed cone
01:13:02inside the cap
01:13:04that can transfer germs
01:13:06or other bacteria
01:13:08into the product itself.
01:13:10As for the articles
01:13:12to be placed on the counter
01:13:14of the bathroom,
01:13:16toothbrushes are equipped
01:13:18with a very practical accessory
01:13:20hidden in the hairs.
01:13:22In addition to giving the toothbrush
01:13:24a cooler look,
01:13:26they also have a practical purpose.
01:13:28Most toothbrushes
01:13:30are equipped with a pattern
01:13:32of blue hairs
01:13:34that must be replaced
01:13:36every three to four months,
01:13:38but this gives a good reminder
01:13:40in case you forget.
01:13:42Do you still like to play
01:13:44with Legos?
01:13:46I don't judge you,
01:13:48it's an excellent hobby
01:13:50for all ages.
01:13:52Note that there is a hole
01:13:54on the top of the Legos' heads.
01:13:56This is a safety device
01:13:58designed by Legos
01:14:00to avoid the risk
01:14:02of suffocation.
01:14:04It seems to circulate freely
01:14:06through the piece
01:14:08until it can be removed
01:14:10safely.
01:14:12We are now used to
01:14:14all kinds of modern bulbs,
01:14:16some in tubular form,
01:14:18others in diamond form
01:14:20and others still completely twisted.
01:14:22Historically,
01:14:24bulbs were round
01:14:26and this initial shape
01:14:28was useful in itself.
01:14:30It was mainly linked
01:14:32to the fact that glass bulbs
01:14:34had to be at the same distance
01:14:36from each surface
01:14:38of the glass sphere.
01:14:40The easiest way
01:14:42to achieve this
01:14:44was to make the glass
01:14:46in the shape of a globe.
01:14:48Have you ever
01:14:50vibrated in your room
01:14:52listening to some
01:14:54of your favourite songs
01:14:56and admiring
01:14:58the bass of your speaker
01:15:00while it was
01:15:01almost always black?
01:15:03Some of you
01:15:05are probably screaming
01:15:07right now
01:15:09to say that their speakers
01:15:11are green, red
01:15:13or any other colour of the rainbow.
01:15:15First of all,
01:15:17we said almost always
01:15:19and then,
01:15:21if you look closely
01:15:23at the beautiful design
01:15:25of your music player
01:15:27in bright colours,
01:15:29you will see that
01:15:31when it is amplified,
01:15:33it sends a charge
01:15:35through the diaphragm
01:15:37and these black particles
01:15:39are pushed up.
01:15:41The carbon particles
01:15:43that bounce
01:15:45and touch the upper membrane
01:15:47of the diaphragm
01:15:49are responsible
01:15:51for the creation
01:15:53of some of the distinct sounds
01:15:55of our speakers
01:15:57that we love so much.
01:15:59Speakers manufacturers
01:16:01often use black speakers.
01:16:03Another practical reason
01:16:05for which speakers
01:16:07are most often black
01:16:09is that it is a colour
01:16:11that fits easily
01:16:13with many types of decor.
01:16:15Walls, furniture and clothes
01:16:17are often raised
01:16:19when they are combined
01:16:21with this colour.
01:16:23This is why it is so widespread.
01:16:25According to several studies,
01:16:27listening to music
01:16:29has been ranked
01:16:31among the best
01:16:33in the world.
01:16:35On your TV,
01:16:37your laptop
01:16:39and your phone,
01:16:41you can't escape them.
01:16:43But let's see
01:16:45how it all started.
01:16:47Their origins
01:16:49lie in radio
01:16:51and telephone technology.
01:16:53The first type of speaker
01:16:55was developed
01:16:57by Johann Philipp Reisz
01:16:59in 1861.
01:17:01Alexander Graham Bell,
01:17:03the inventor of the telephone,
01:17:05decided to try
01:17:07to produce an improved version
01:17:09of Reisz's speaker.
01:17:11Basically, Bell and other inventors
01:17:13were trying to make
01:17:15an electrodynamic speaker.
01:17:17In 1877,
01:17:19it still did not exist
01:17:21but thanks to the desire
01:17:23of inventors from all over the world
01:17:25to change this,
01:17:27research has confirmed
01:17:29that it was quite possible
01:17:31to create a speaker
01:17:33to reach this conclusion.
01:17:35Next question.
01:17:37Why are there magnets
01:17:39in loudspeakers?
01:17:41Nowadays, all loudspeakers
01:17:43are powered by an electric current,
01:17:45which the inventors
01:17:47we mentioned
01:17:49would never have considered
01:17:51as acquired.
01:17:53When this electric current
01:17:55changes, it produces
01:17:57a magnetic field.
01:17:59To move the speaker panel,
01:18:01the stronger the magnet,
01:18:03the stronger the speaker.
01:18:05Another American inventor
01:18:07named Thomas Edison
01:18:09had filed a patent
01:18:11in the United Kingdom
01:18:13for a system using compressed air
01:18:15in an amplification mechanism.
01:18:17The first commercial electric loudspeaker
01:18:19was born in 1924.
01:18:21The sound quality produced
01:18:23by this loudspeaker
01:18:25was good enough for cinema.
01:18:27It took nearly 20 years
01:18:29to witness the next breakthrough
01:18:31in loudspeakers.
01:18:33This happened
01:18:35with the arrival of the Duplex Driver
01:18:37in 1943.
01:18:39It offered greater clarity
01:18:41and better coherence
01:18:43in high volumes,
01:18:45which was important
01:18:47in cinemas.
01:18:49This is why it was nicknamed
01:18:51the voice of cinema.
01:18:53The Duplex Driver
01:18:55was immediately tested
01:18:57by the Academy of Arts
01:18:59and Sciences of Cinema
01:19:01and the film industry
01:19:03seemed to make a lot of effort
01:19:05for its acoustics,
01:19:07just like the rooms
01:19:09in which we see the films.
01:19:11You may have noticed
01:19:13that these rooms
01:19:15are often thick curtains
01:19:17on the walls.
01:19:19These are soundproof
01:19:21or acoustic curtains
01:19:23and they are much thicker
01:19:25than standard curtains
01:19:27which are made of
01:19:29heavier and tighter fabrics
01:19:31which creates
01:19:33a much better sound experience.
01:19:35It is for the same reason
01:19:37that the curtains are so thick
01:19:39in cinemas.
01:19:41They help to trap sound
01:19:43by providing isolation
01:19:45from a practical point of view.
01:19:47This curtain is also there
01:19:49to prevent footsteps
01:19:51during the projection of films.
01:19:53This concept of sound trap
01:19:55is also the reason
01:19:57why putting a phone in a cup
01:19:59will make the sound appear louder.
01:20:01In all directions,
01:20:03when the speaker vibrates
01:20:05to create sound waves,
01:20:07an equal amount of energy
01:20:09goes from the front and the back.
01:20:11By placing a speaker
01:20:13in a form of speaker,
01:20:15we can redirect some of the energy
01:20:17coming from the back of the speaker
01:20:19and project it forward.
01:20:21By placing the speaker in a cup,
01:20:23you redirect the sound more effectively.
01:20:25It only travels in one direction
01:20:27which makes it sound louder
01:20:29than what you would hear
01:20:31in a cup.
01:20:33Why does your phone
01:20:35generate a noise
01:20:37in your speaker?
01:20:39This can happen
01:20:41when the two gadgets
01:20:43are close to each other
01:20:45and your phone
01:20:47is trying to send
01:20:49and receive data.
01:20:51The transfer of information
01:20:53produces electromagnetic disturbances
01:20:55in the environment of the speakers.
01:20:57This creates noise
01:20:59in the audio
01:21:01and vice versa.
01:21:03This eliminates
01:21:05what we call electromagnetic
01:21:07interference.
01:21:09Research conducted in the United States
01:21:11showed that on average
01:21:1374% of people
01:21:15had at least two pairs of headphones
01:21:17or two audio headphones.
01:21:1946% of them mentioned
01:21:21that they used their headphones
01:21:23or headphones
01:21:25more than two hours a day.
01:21:27Some choose their headphones
01:21:29or headphones
01:21:31because finding the right gadget
01:21:33is important because many people
01:21:35are ready to spend
01:21:37more than a hundred euros on it.
01:21:39Headphones and other headphones
01:21:41have become real fashion accessories.
01:21:43This is why well-known personalities
01:21:45try to have an impact
01:21:47on this industry
01:21:49as if it were the fashion one.
01:21:51Music maniacs Dr. Dre and Jimmy Yovine
01:21:53got the idea of the now world-famous
01:21:55brand Beats by Dre.
01:21:57They were walking along the Pacific Ocean
01:21:59one day in 2006
01:22:01because they had received an offer
01:22:03from a major brand in this field.
01:22:05After a few discussions,
01:22:07they decided that they wanted to do
01:22:09something they were more passionate about
01:22:11and decided to sell their headphones.
01:22:13The idea of the duo
01:22:15turned into a brand bought by Apple
01:22:17in 2014 for $3 billion.
01:22:19It was the biggest transaction
01:22:21in the history of Apple
01:22:23and Beats by Dre controlled
01:22:2570% of the headphone market
01:22:27at the time of the signing.
01:22:29This operation allowed Apple
01:22:31to use their famous wireless headphones,
01:22:33the Airpods,
01:22:35to comfort the company in this position.
01:22:37But how do these wireless headphones
01:22:39that many of us own
01:22:41actually work?
01:22:43They actually depend on internal batteries
01:22:45to have enough power
01:22:47to stay wireless.
01:22:49Most of the time,
01:22:51they have built-in rechargeable batteries
01:22:53but sometimes they still work
01:22:55thanks to AA or AAA batteries.
01:22:57They receive wireless signals
01:22:58through a device called an audio device.
01:23:00Whether it's your phone
01:23:02or your laptop,
01:23:04these signals are coded by the device
01:23:06and are transmitted most often
01:23:08by radio frequencies
01:23:10or infrared supports.
01:23:12The headphones receive the signal
01:23:14and decode it into audio
01:23:16and you can enjoy your music
01:23:18in all freedom.
01:23:20The construction site workers
01:23:22are usually dressed in orange
01:23:24because this color is visible
01:23:26even in bad weather.
01:23:28This is to warn people.
01:23:30It's no surprise that many
01:23:32security vests and warning cones
01:23:34are also orange.
01:23:36The stop sign has an eight-sided shape
01:23:38to help drivers recognize it easily
01:23:40even if they see it from behind.
01:23:42And when the signs were not yet reflective,
01:23:44the octagonal shape prevented drivers
01:23:46from confusing the stop sign
01:23:48with any other at night.
01:23:50The rugged strips on the sides of the road
01:23:52are placed there to warn drivers
01:23:54who get stuck behind the wheel.
01:23:56When the tires pass over these strips,
01:23:58there are magnetic locks
01:24:00on the fuel pumps
01:24:02in the service stations
01:24:04in case someone leaves
01:24:06with the gasoline gun
01:24:08still attached to his tank.
01:24:10In this case, the lock automatically
01:24:12detaches the hose.
01:24:14The gasoline forms a rainbow
01:24:16in a puddle of water
01:24:18because it cannot mix with water.
01:24:20It forms a thin membrane above.
01:24:22When the light reflects on it
01:24:24and on the water at the same time,
01:24:26you get a rainbow.
01:24:28You can easily fill it
01:24:30and distribute the liquid evenly.
01:24:32Gasoline cans often have a second hole
01:24:34that must also be opened
01:24:36before pouring the liquid.
01:24:38Air passage will prevent it from overflowing
01:24:40and therefore from wasting it.
01:24:42Most gasoline cans
01:24:44have two holes with caps,
01:24:46one larger and one smaller.
01:24:48You are supposed to open the smallest hole
01:24:50before pouring the liquid
01:24:52by the largest one.
01:24:54This will prevent the liquid from sticking
01:24:56and spreading on your clothes
01:24:58or on the tip of a lipstick cap.
01:25:00Most tubes are usually sealed
01:25:02with a plastic film
01:25:04or an aluminum foil
01:25:06and opening it with your nails
01:25:08is not the best idea.
01:25:10The tip on the cap
01:25:12allows you to easily open
01:25:14even the most tightly sealed tube.
01:25:16You can use most screwdrivers
01:25:18with a wrench
01:25:20to create more torque.
01:25:22Just place the wrench
01:25:24on the screwdriver handle.
01:25:26This way, you will need
01:25:28a screwdriver to open the cap.
01:25:30The cameras are installed
01:25:32in shops, banks and hospitals
01:25:34to monitor everything.
01:25:36If something happens,
01:25:38you can call the police or the ambulance.
01:25:40The camera helps to resolve a lot of cases.
01:25:42So why are there no cameras
01:25:44in planes?
01:25:46The crew keeps order in the plane
01:25:48but they can't do anything
01:25:50if something serious happens.
01:25:52In addition, there is nowhere
01:25:54to hide in a plane.
01:25:56During the flight,
01:25:58if the cameras are useless,
01:26:00why spend money on them?
01:26:02Water is very easy to clean
01:26:04because it has triangular molecules
01:26:06composed of an oxygen atom
01:26:08and two hydrogen atoms
01:26:10hence the H2O.
01:26:12These molecules have slightly different charges
01:26:14on their opposite sides
01:26:16a bit like magnets.
01:26:18This is why water easily attaches
01:26:20to other molecules
01:26:22including those that make up saline.
01:26:24Many individual houses
01:26:26have triangular roofs
01:26:28to protect them from the wind.
01:26:30If all these things pile up
01:26:32on the roof of your house,
01:26:34one day they could collapse.
01:26:36When a storm approaches,
01:26:38the clouds seem to become dark.
01:26:40But this is only an illusion.
01:26:42The thin clouds of a sunny day
01:26:44easily let the light pass.
01:26:46They also diffuse all the colors
01:26:48of the light spectrum.
01:26:50This makes us perceive the clouds
01:26:52as being white.
01:26:54The thicker the clouds are
01:26:56and contain droplets of water,
01:26:58such as in bronze
01:27:00or in some copper alloys.
01:27:02These metals have an anti-germ effect.
01:27:04The bacteria spread
01:27:06much more slowly on them.
01:27:08They also get rid of the microbes
01:27:10quite quickly, in a few hours.
01:27:12But this does not mean
01:27:14that you should not wash your hands.
01:27:16Diamonds have symmetrical shapes
01:27:18to show you their brilliance.
01:27:20At first, these precious stones
01:27:22are not so beautiful.
01:27:24They go through several stages of size
01:27:26and then become elegant pieces.
01:27:28They are slightly pointed.
01:27:30It is in this shape
01:27:32that diamonds shine the most.
01:27:34Why are there two holes
01:27:36in an electric socket?
01:27:38The left hole is negatively charged,
01:27:40the right hole is positively charged,
01:27:42and the space below is the ground.
01:27:44Electricity must flow through the circuit.
01:27:46The current passes through the positive hole,
01:27:48through the charger of your phone,
01:27:50for example,
01:27:52then passes through the negative hole.
01:27:54Have you ever wondered
01:27:56what your jeans pocket was for?
01:27:58You have seen the effect.
01:28:00Today, no one wears
01:28:02this kind of watch anymore,
01:28:04but the pocket has remained.
01:28:06And you can slip small objects
01:28:08like a ring in it.
01:28:10In London, there are poles
01:28:12that look a bit like air lamps,
01:28:14but they do not have bulbs.
01:28:16Their official name is
01:28:18Smoking Pipe,
01:28:20and they belong to history today.
01:28:22But they were very useful
01:28:24in the 19th century.
01:28:26These hollow poles
01:28:28can be used
01:28:30as a kitchen chisel.
01:28:32Most kitchen chisels
01:28:34have metallic teeth
01:28:36resembling clamps
01:28:38in the middle between the handles.
01:28:40They can help you break nuts,
01:28:42crab shells,
01:28:44and other hard products.
01:28:46You can also use them
01:28:48to open jars and bottles
01:28:50or remove the stems of herbs.
01:28:52Leather often looks dull to the eye
01:28:54because it is covered
01:28:56with tiny scratches and scratches.
01:28:58The scratches are more uniform.
01:29:00This is why leather
01:29:02has a brighter shade.
01:29:04The liners are filled
01:29:06with a special semi-transparent
01:29:08fluorescent ink
01:29:10that can shine in low light.
01:29:12Yellow and light green shades
01:29:14are the most popular
01:29:16because they do not prevent
01:29:18you from seeing the text
01:29:20after a black and white photocopy.
01:29:22Photocopiers perceive
01:29:24yellow and light green marks
01:29:26as very pale
01:29:28and not as bright.
01:29:30The blue part
01:29:32indicates the south pole
01:29:34and the red part
01:29:36the north pole.
01:29:38The two poles work simultaneously
01:29:40and increase the attraction.
01:29:42The 1 cm diameter hole
01:29:44in the doors of an elevator
01:29:46is a lock.
01:29:48If the doors are locked,
01:29:50an operator can manually
01:29:52open them by inserting
01:29:54a special key into the hole.
01:29:56As for the tiny holes
01:29:58they are extremely solid.
01:30:00They can withstand
01:30:02the difference in air pressure
01:30:04during take-off and landing.
01:30:06The inner window,
01:30:08which is the closest to you,
01:30:10is made of less expensive material.
01:30:12It avoids any potential damage
01:30:14to the window.
01:30:16The hole itself
01:30:18is in the central window.
01:30:20It not only balances the pressure
01:30:22but also prevents
01:30:24the window from jamming.
01:30:26The mechanical stairs brushes
01:30:28the yellow or orange sun
01:30:30because the atmosphere
01:30:32of our planet
01:30:34scatters colors like blue,
01:30:36green and purple.
01:30:38This is also why the sun
01:30:40looks warmer at sunrise
01:30:42and sunset.
01:30:44If you go to a store
01:30:46to buy oranges,
01:30:48you will surely find them
01:30:50in a red net.
01:30:52It is pure marketing
01:30:54and this color is not
01:30:56a random choice.
01:30:58It is impossible to buy them.
01:31:00Lemons are usually sold
01:31:02in green net nets
01:31:04for the same reason.
01:31:06If they were wrapped in red,
01:31:08they would look more orange.
01:31:10Green goes better with yellow
01:31:12and makes the color of lemons
01:31:14stand out more.
01:31:16Mattress manufacturers
01:31:18produce a limited number
01:31:20of different mattresses
01:31:22and the only way
01:31:24to make them different
01:31:26is to invent
01:31:28different patterns
01:31:30with different qualities.
01:31:32So when you buy,
01:31:34don't worry about the pattern.
01:31:36Almost all hotels
01:31:38have white bed sheets.
01:31:40They choose this color
01:31:42to show how high
01:31:44their standards of cleanliness
01:31:46are.
01:31:48The whiter the sheets,
01:31:50the more high-end the hotel looks.
01:31:52It is much easier
01:31:54to see the dirt
01:31:56and stains on white laundry.
01:31:58So let's take a coffee break.
01:32:00You enter the nearest café,
01:32:02you place your order
01:32:04and you realize
01:32:06that you really need to go to the toilet.
01:32:08They are normal public toilets
01:32:10with several cabins.
01:32:12When you choose yours,
01:32:14the one in the middle,
01:32:16you go inside
01:32:18and your mind starts to wonder
01:32:20why the hell do the doors
01:32:22of the toilets have a space
01:32:24of 1.5 cm between the door and the lock?
01:32:26And why the hell
01:32:28do the doors of the public toilets
01:32:30have so much space?
01:32:32Well, my friend,
01:32:34there is not only one specific reason
01:32:36why the doors of public toilets
01:32:38have so much space,
01:32:40but rather several.
01:32:42Public toilets are designed
01:32:44so that people spend
01:32:46as little time as possible.
01:32:48You are not supposed to feel
01:32:50comfortable or at home.
01:32:52The design must therefore reflect
01:32:54this goal.
01:32:56Here is the reason for the spaces.
01:32:59Then there is the question of price.
01:33:01The manufacture of personalized doors
01:33:03can represent a heavy burden
01:33:05for people who build public toilets.
01:33:07This implies knowing the exact measurements
01:33:09so that the doors always correspond
01:33:11to the format of the cabins
01:33:13in which they are supposed to be installed.
01:33:15However, all public toilet spaces
01:33:17do not necessarily have the same size.
01:33:19They can vary,
01:33:21even if this variation is weak
01:33:23and often imperceptible.
01:33:25These interstices therefore contribute
01:33:26to reduce error margins
01:33:28and make production more profitable
01:33:30for the people who finance them.
01:33:32If a door is wider
01:33:34or narrower than it should be,
01:33:36this space regularizes the differences
01:33:38and allows them to be installed anyway.
01:33:40There is also the case
01:33:42of air circulation.
01:33:44The last thing you want to do
01:33:46in a public toilet room
01:33:48is to imprison the smells,
01:33:50isn't it?
01:33:52So you need a little space
01:33:54under and between the doors
01:33:56so that people outside
01:33:58can see if someone inside the cabin
01:34:00doesn't feel well
01:34:02and may need help.
01:34:04And what about this additional hole
01:34:06in the upper part of the sink?
01:34:08It has a name,
01:34:10the overflow hole.
01:34:12It is designed to prevent the sink from overflowing.
01:34:14So, if someone forgets
01:34:16and leaves the tap open for too long
01:34:18or if the sink is blocked
01:34:20and the water cannot flow
01:34:22through the main evacuation hole,
01:34:24the overflow hole comes to the rescue.
01:34:26This is done before the floor
01:34:28of the bathroom is flooded.
01:34:30Have you ever noticed
01:34:32how pleasant the process
01:34:34of closing a car door can be?
01:34:36Automobile manufacturers
01:34:38devote a lot of time
01:34:40to designing these sounds.
01:34:42Studies have shown
01:34:44that they create a sense of quality
01:34:46in the buyer.
01:34:48It all starts with the basic material.
01:34:50While older cars were made
01:34:52with heavier materials,
01:34:54the doors of current cars
01:34:56were made with lighter materials.
01:34:58Automobile manufacturers
01:35:00employ sound engineers
01:35:02to ensure that there is the exact amount
01:35:04of foam, carpet and tin
01:35:06in the composition of a car
01:35:08in order to produce
01:35:10the most comforting sound possible.
01:35:12And what about these little dots
01:35:14on the top of the front window of your car?
01:35:16The pattern of these little black dots
01:35:18minimizes the distractions for your eyes.
01:35:20This black part,
01:35:22also called the frieze,
01:35:24is normally warmer
01:35:26and is not made
01:35:28to suspend stuffed dots
01:35:30or pleasant odors on the nose.
01:35:32It is actually a switch
01:35:34that allows you to adjust
01:35:36the position of the rearview mirror
01:35:38according to the time of day.
01:35:40Push it in one direction
01:35:42and it is the daytime driving mode.
01:35:44In the other direction,
01:35:46you are ready to drive safely at night
01:35:48because it reduces the dazzling
01:35:50caused by the headlights of the cars
01:35:52that follow you.
01:35:54The next time you go to the supermarket,
01:35:56look for a well-kept key that can help you.
01:35:58If you have your house keys on you,
01:36:00look if the head of the key is rounded.
01:36:02If you find one,
01:36:04try to use it to unlock the cart.
01:36:06It should fit perfectly
01:36:08and prevent you from having to carry coins.
01:36:10Because, to be honest,
01:36:12who has them nowadays?
01:36:14Let's move on to the elevators.
01:36:16If you want to use them
01:36:18by going directly where you want,
01:36:20try this trick.
01:36:22Most elevators have a secret combination
01:36:24of buttons that you can use
01:36:26directly to the one of your choice.
01:36:28It can work
01:36:30especially the days when you pressed the 13
01:36:32but when you wanted to press the 33.
01:36:34In most elevators,
01:36:36it works if you simultaneously press
01:36:38the close door button
01:36:40and your floor number.
01:36:42This should allow you to reach your floor
01:36:44without stopping.
01:36:46Some elevators ask you to press
01:36:48the selected floor numbers twice
01:36:50because a double press often cancels
01:36:52the previously made request.
01:36:54Other elevators ask you
01:36:56to press the floor numbers twice
01:36:58that you want to cancel.
01:37:00However, to avoid any problem,
01:37:02it is preferable not to cancel the floors
01:37:04of other people in the elevator.
01:37:06They won't take it well.
01:37:08Keep in mind that some elevators
01:37:10may not have this function.
01:37:12For honey lovers,
01:37:14raise your hand!
01:37:16If your honey pot is golden and crystallized,
01:37:18remember that it is a good sign.
01:37:20Crystallized honey means
01:37:22that it has not been pasteurized
01:37:24which means a better quality of the product
01:37:26and the natural ingredient of honey,
01:37:28also known as glucose,
01:37:30will crystallize it.
01:37:32Now, try to get the best out of it.
01:37:34To add texture to your oatmeal
01:37:36or toast,
01:37:38add a layer of crystallized honey
01:37:40and enjoy the sweetness of nature.
01:37:42And if you don't like crystallized honey,
01:37:44put it in the microwave for a minute or two.
01:37:46Ah, winter and autumn,
01:37:48you know what that means,
01:37:50don't you?
01:37:52But there is nothing more annoying
01:37:54than wearing your beautiful wool sweater
01:37:56I don't want to make a fuss,
01:37:58but don't you want to talk about
01:38:00the hell of scratching sweaters?
01:38:02To prevent this from happening again,
01:38:04here is the secret.
01:38:06Put your sweater upside down
01:38:08and soak it in cold water.
01:38:10Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of vinegar
01:38:12and let it soak for a while.
01:38:14Then empty the water.
01:38:16Now, while the sweater is still wet,
01:38:18apply a generous amount of aftershave
01:38:20on the fibers of the wool.
01:38:22After letting it soak in the aftershave
01:38:24for about 30 minutes,
01:38:26dry it flat on a towel.
01:38:28And that's it!
01:38:30No more scratching sweater!
01:38:32In all the fast food restaurants you go to,
01:38:34you will find small paper cups
01:38:36that you can fill with ketchup,
01:38:38mustard or barbecue sauce.
01:38:40But if you eat chicken nuggets
01:38:42or if you try to dip your hamburger
01:38:44in the cup,
01:38:46there is always a little sauce
01:38:48that seems impossible to reach.
01:38:50Next time, try to unfold the cup.
01:38:52It will turn into a small paper plate
01:38:54and this way,
01:38:56it will be easier to pierce at the start.
01:38:58The padlocks used in outdoor environments
01:39:00must be cleaned and lubricated
01:39:02every 3 months.
01:39:04Regular lubrication
01:39:06will help prevent the padlocks from freezing
01:39:08in the cold.
01:39:10Look for the tiny hole
01:39:12on the bottom of the padlock.
01:39:14Pour oil into it
01:39:16and there you go, it opens again.
01:39:18One thing we often forget
01:39:20is the tip on the cap of a cream.
01:39:22These pointed surfaces
01:39:24were designed to help us
01:39:26keep the padlock open
01:39:28and pierce the tip with its own tip
01:39:30and there you go.
01:39:32After a long day of work,
01:39:34all you really need
01:39:36is a foam bath.
01:39:38You open the hot water
01:39:40and let it flow for a few minutes.
01:39:42You can even light a candle
01:39:44and pour some essential oils into the water.
01:39:46Then you add the liquid soap.
01:39:48You stir the water
01:39:50until the entire surface of the bathtub
01:39:52is filled with bubbles
01:39:54and you enter the bath.
01:39:56Their role is to preserve
01:39:58the temperature of the water
01:40:00so that you can enjoy
01:40:02hot water for a longer time.
01:40:04Do you have sweaty feet?
01:40:06Strange question, I know.
01:40:08But if you are one of these people,
01:40:10here is some good news.
01:40:12Everything is not lost.
01:40:14Try to put a tea bag in your shoes
01:40:16and put them in a dry place
01:40:18for a while.
01:40:20The tea bags will absorb
01:40:22the moisture and smell
01:40:24of the soles of your shoes.
01:40:26If you learned something new today,
01:40:28don't hesitate to tell us
01:40:30in the comments below.
01:40:57More than 40 billion Oreos
01:40:59are made each year.
01:41:01It is the best-selling
01:41:03industrial biscuit in the world.
01:41:05The geometric drawing
01:41:07stamped on these biscuits
01:41:09has the Nabisco logo,
01:41:11symbol of American quality,
01:41:13surrounding the word Oreo.
01:41:15William Tierney created
01:41:17the design of this chocolate biscuit
01:41:19as we know it today
01:41:21in 1952.
01:41:23If you use reusable bottles,
01:41:24you probably know
01:41:26that they sometimes tend to smell bad.
01:41:28Even if you only use them
01:41:30to put ordinary water in them,
01:41:32they still end up smelling.
01:41:34But it is not the water itself
01:41:36that releases this smell.
01:41:38It is the microorganisms it contains.
01:41:40If you drink water in a bottle,
01:41:42the particles of your saliva
01:41:44and sweat remain inside.
01:41:46These bacteria begin to accumulate
01:41:48in the bottle,
01:41:50which generates this smell.
01:41:52If you choose reusable bottles,
01:41:54the bacteria do not accumulate.
01:41:56After washing it,
01:41:58let it dry completely
01:42:00before reusing it.
01:42:02There are not only jeans that are blue.
01:42:04Police uniforms are too.
01:42:06The first policemen
01:42:08dressed like this
01:42:10appeared in London in the 19th century.
01:42:12They received this blue uniform
01:42:14to contrast with the red and white uniform
01:42:16that the military already wore.
01:42:18Two decades later,
01:42:20such police forces
01:42:22were adopted in the United States
01:42:24because this color
01:42:26turned out to be very effective.
01:42:28They blend into a nocturnal environment
01:42:30and the policemen can observe
01:42:32what is happening without being noticed.
01:42:34In addition, the spots are not too visible
01:42:36on dark fabrics.
01:42:38And then everyone knows
01:42:40that the policemen wear blue
01:42:42and that they are recognized
01:42:44by this single color.
01:42:46So why mess all this up?
01:42:48Baby carrots are tiny
01:42:50and unlike ordinary carrots,
01:42:52they are wet,
01:42:54but baby carrots
01:42:56are not special carrots.
01:42:58They are made from ordinary carrots
01:43:00by removing the skin
01:43:02and the outer layers
01:43:04and then rolling them
01:43:06to make them look prettier.
01:43:08The problem is that they can no longer
01:43:10retain moisture.
01:43:12A normal carrot retains
01:43:14a certain amount of water in it
01:43:16thanks to the layers that imprison it.
01:43:18Once cut,
01:43:20the mini carrots dry easily.
01:43:22This is why they are generally
01:43:24not so popular anymore.
01:43:26Jacob Davis,
01:43:28the man who made the first pair of jeans,
01:43:30added leather rivets
01:43:32to the places where the pants
01:43:34are most likely to tear,
01:43:36namely the strap and the pockets
01:43:38to make them more resistant.
01:43:40Today, the rivets
01:43:42are more of a decorative function
01:43:44because they are a traditional feature
01:43:46of blue jeans.
01:43:48Another peculiarity of these pants
01:43:50is the presence of these small pockets
01:43:52that apparently serve no purpose.
01:43:54While jeans were particularly
01:43:56loved by cowboys,
01:43:58this small pocket was specially designed
01:44:00to store a watch.
01:44:02In addition, at the time,
01:44:04a jean had only four pockets.
01:44:06This tiny pocket,
01:44:08the watch pocket,
01:44:10two large pockets at the front
01:44:12and one pocket at the back.
01:44:14Car headrests are a matter of comfort
01:44:16and removable headrests
01:44:18are a matter of safety.
01:44:20If you remove a headrest,
01:44:22you will see two solid metal bars.
01:44:24You can use these bars
01:44:26to break the glass and escape.
01:44:28These little red spots
01:44:30that you sometimes see
01:44:32after breaking an egg
01:44:34are not worrisome.
01:44:36These tiny blood stains
01:44:38can be caused by the rupture
01:44:40of a small blood vessel
01:44:42in the hen when she laid her egg.
01:44:44Eggs with these blood stains
01:44:46can be consumed without danger,
01:44:48but they can also be removed
01:44:50if it bothers you.
01:44:52This will not affect the taste of the egg.
01:44:54There is also a teddy bear
01:44:56standing on its hind legs
01:44:58and about to devour this yodeler over there.
01:45:00No, I'm kidding.
01:45:02This is explained by the fact
01:45:04that bears were very present
01:45:06on the side of Bern,
01:45:08one of the largest cities in Switzerland,
01:45:10where its founder created
01:45:12the famous chocolate triangle snack.
01:45:14Toblerone also relies on a word game
01:45:16between the creator's family name,
01:45:18Theodore Tobler,
01:45:20and the Italian word torone,
01:45:22which designates a nougat with honey
01:45:24during transport.
01:45:26This technique is called
01:45:28intermediate suspension.
01:45:30Not only are the nougats better protected
01:45:32in their polystyrene goblets,
01:45:34but they also soften more quickly
01:45:36and more uniformly.
01:45:38You probably thought that this hole
01:45:40in the body of the ball pen
01:45:42had no reason to be,
01:45:44and yet there is one.
01:45:46It is an aeration system
01:45:48that allows the ink to flow more easily.
01:45:50In this way,
01:45:52an equal air pressure
01:45:54can flow more easily into the tip.
01:45:56It is not a coincidence
01:45:58that soy sauce bottles
01:46:00have two beakers.
01:46:02The sauce is very liquid
01:46:04and flows out of the bottle
01:46:06quite quickly as soon as it is turned over.
01:46:08Most Asian cuisine lovers
01:46:10will admit having spilled it
01:46:12at least once in their lives.
01:46:14This is why, nowadays,
01:46:16restaurants prefer to serve
01:46:18soy sauce in special bottles
01:46:20with two beakers.
01:46:22This design allows you to control
01:46:24the flow of the sauce
01:46:26while you pour it.
01:46:28If you press your finger hard on it,
01:46:30the sauce will automatically stop flowing.
01:46:32And if you remove it,
01:46:34it will flow again.
01:46:36Now I challenge you
01:46:38to get your fingers in your nose.
01:46:40You have probably noticed
01:46:42that the seats of trains and buses
01:46:44were covered with fabric
01:46:46with a bizarro pattern.
01:46:48Do you know why?
01:46:50These patterns are used
01:46:52to cover dirt and stains
01:46:54on the seats.
01:46:56In addition, these patterns
01:46:58are generally so ugly
01:47:00that no one wants to look at them
01:47:02long enough to reveal anything.
01:47:04So yes, the pattern is there
01:47:06to make you look away
01:47:08and, if you look at it,
01:47:10to make it less visible.
01:47:12No bus will ever have
01:47:14a single white seat.
01:47:16This is guaranteed.
01:47:18The metal tab of the soda cans
01:47:20can be turned over
01:47:22and you can slip a straw
01:47:24into one of them.
01:47:26You remember, right?
01:47:28It could be very pointy
01:47:30and easily pose a threat
01:47:32to the people in charge
01:47:34of sorting the garbage.
01:47:36Now you can insert your straw
01:47:38directly into one of them.
01:47:40This also means
01:47:42that you can produce bubbles
01:47:44and make all your friends
01:47:46laugh like a three-year-old.
01:47:48Sometimes, when you buy clothes,
01:47:50you receive a plastic bag
01:47:52containing an extra button
01:47:54that can be used
01:47:56to test the effects
01:47:58of various detergents
01:48:00on certain surfaces.
01:48:02It is also practical
01:48:04to test the washing cycles
01:48:06of your machine
01:48:08before using them
01:48:10to wash the entire garment.
01:48:12The mechanical stairs
01:48:14are equipped with these
01:48:16hard-haired black brushes
01:48:18for the same reason
01:48:20that some of them
01:48:22have yellow lines
01:48:24on the stairs.
01:48:26This brush is a small barrier
01:48:28that avoids this.
01:48:30It also allows you
01:48:32to catch plushies
01:48:34and prevent other small objects
01:48:36from falling into the interstices.
01:48:38The dishes containers
01:48:40that are most often
01:48:42associated with Chinese restaurants
01:48:44are designed not only
01:48:46to bring dishes home
01:48:48but also to store them
01:48:50in the refrigerator.
01:48:52They can also be used
01:48:54to store oysters.
01:48:56They were patented in 1894
01:48:58to transport freshly shelled oysters
01:49:00and were known
01:49:02overseas as Oyster Pails.
01:49:04They were then adapted
01:49:06to serve as water containers
01:49:08for food.
01:49:10Have you ever wondered
01:49:12why the coins had
01:49:14these small stripes on the edge?
01:49:16It is a vestige
01:49:18of the time
01:49:20when they were much more valuable.
01:49:21These stripes
01:49:23were created
01:49:25to make it much easier
01:49:27to distinguish the coins
01:49:29that had been altered.
01:49:31It is no longer necessary today
01:49:33but the coins still have this style.
01:49:35All crackers and some biscuits
01:49:37have small holes in the middle
01:49:39to ensure that the final product
01:49:41will have the right texture.
01:49:43These tiny holes
01:49:45allow the steam to escape
01:49:47so that the biscuits do not break.
01:49:49If you did not prick the dough,
01:49:51it would be rather strange.
01:49:53Dogs like to walk around
01:49:55before going to bed
01:49:57because they inherited
01:49:59this behavior from their ancestors.
01:50:01At the time,
01:50:03there were no well-fed baskets
01:50:05for the doggies
01:50:07and most of them
01:50:09had to repel the tall grass
01:50:11to create a small corner
01:50:13to crawl.
01:50:15In addition,
01:50:17these movements
01:50:19made all the animals
01:50:21look like dogs.
01:50:23This behavior
01:50:25was often associated
01:50:27with the American police
01:50:29because in the 1950s
01:50:31the donut shops
01:50:33were one of the rare places
01:50:35to stay open late at night.
01:50:37It was the ideal place
01:50:39for the police
01:50:41who wanted to nibble a piece
01:50:43or even take care of the paper
01:50:45during their night shift.
01:50:47If your jean is blue on the outside
01:50:49and white on the inside,
01:50:51it indicates the amount of dye
01:50:53necessary for each garment.
01:50:55It is not as if they were gold-plated.
01:50:57Landing gear tires
01:50:59do not burst
01:51:01because they are designed
01:51:03for a load 4 to 5 times higher
01:51:05than those they undergo
01:51:07during landing.
01:51:09The wheel itself can break
01:51:11but the tire does not burst.
01:51:13This little trick
01:51:15based on behavioral psychology
01:51:17can help you choose
01:51:19the fastest line at the airport.
01:51:21Most people are right-handed
01:51:23and intuitively choose
01:51:25the right side.
01:51:27Your skin usually becomes
01:51:29a little dry during the flight.
01:51:31This is due to the low humidity
01:51:33in the cabin.
01:51:35Bring a good moisturizing cream
01:51:37with you to keep your skin hydrated on board.
01:51:39Did you know that the pilot
01:51:41and co-pilot of an airplane
01:51:43always eat different meals
01:51:45before a flight?
01:51:47In this way,
01:51:49if one of them has food poisoning,
01:51:51he or she will have to eat
01:51:53a different meal.
01:51:55Airplane tablets
01:51:57are one of the dirtiest surfaces
01:51:59in the cabin.
01:52:01So make sure you wash your hands
01:52:03frequently and clean the tablet
01:52:05with an antibacterial cloth
01:52:07to get rid of all the bacteria
01:52:09that are piling up.
01:52:11If you are sitting on a seat
01:52:13next to the corridor,
01:52:15you can have more space
01:52:17to stretch your legs.
01:52:19Just press the button
01:52:21and you are ready to go.
01:52:23This is one of the reasons
01:52:25why the light in the cabin
01:52:27is dimmed.
01:52:29Passengers must get used
01:52:31to the darkness
01:52:33in case of an emergency landing
01:52:35at night.
01:52:37In this way,
01:52:39their eyes will already be used
01:52:41to the absence of light,
01:52:43which will facilitate the evacuation.
01:52:45The flight attendants
01:52:47ask you to lift the windows
01:52:49so that they can see
01:52:51the sun's rays
01:52:53and prevent the plane from overheating.
01:52:55Another good reason
01:52:57is that white paint is cheaper.
01:52:59In addition,
01:53:01workers and engineers
01:53:03can easily notice any damage
01:53:05on a white surface.
01:53:07It is preferable to avoid
01:53:09taking important decisions
01:53:11during a flight.
01:53:13Your brain does not receive
01:53:15enough oxygen at such a height
01:53:17and this negatively affects
01:53:19its functioning.
01:53:21It is not thanks to the candy itself,
01:53:23but thanks to the deglutition process.
01:53:25Bathing also helps.
01:53:27As for chewing gum,
01:53:29it also helps to get rid
01:53:31of this bad breath
01:53:33caused by the rarefied air
01:53:35at high altitudes
01:53:37that removes the humidity
01:53:39from your body.
01:53:41The dry air can give you the impression
01:53:43that you are getting cold.
01:53:45The cabin air dries your nose
01:53:47and your throat
01:53:49as if you had the symptoms
01:53:51of a cold.
01:53:53Making coffee and tea on board
01:53:55is not always very clean.
01:53:57Many companies
01:53:59use very good water filters today,
01:54:01but it is better to ask for bottled water
01:54:03if you are thirsty.
01:54:05This small triangle on the plane's wall
01:54:07above your seat
01:54:09means a lot for the flight attendants.
01:54:11These triangles mark the windows
01:54:13through which you can see
01:54:15the flashing lights.
01:54:17This indicates the retraction
01:54:19of the landing brakes
01:54:21towards the window
01:54:23to check what is going on.
01:54:25And for the passengers,
01:54:27this is simply the best place
01:54:29for photos
01:54:31as you can see the wings perfectly.
01:54:33The seats in the middle of the cabin
01:54:35above the wings
01:54:37are the best if you have trouble getting on board.
01:54:39This area is more balanced
01:54:41and shakes less during turbulence.
01:54:43If you tend to be nervous
01:54:45during the flight,
01:54:47do a little physical exercise
01:54:49just before getting on the plane.
01:54:51This will help your body
01:54:53release endorphins,
01:54:55the hormones of happiness.
01:54:57In addition, this physical activity
01:54:59compensates for the hours
01:55:01you spend sitting without moving.
01:55:03Turbines are placed under the wings
01:55:05because it makes the maintenance
01:55:07of the engines less expensive,
01:55:09faster and easier.
01:55:11Previously, they were placed
01:55:13at the level of the tail.
01:55:15This required expensive equipment
01:55:17and much more time to repair them.
01:55:19When we started to install
01:55:21the air-conditioning system,
01:55:23you see the burner system
01:55:25installed under the balloon,
01:55:27also called an envelope,
01:55:29it heats the air inside
01:55:31which makes the aircraft go up.
01:55:33Turbulences on a plane
01:55:35are this same hot air
01:55:37but created by nature.
01:55:39When the air warms up,
01:55:41it makes a plane go up.
01:55:43When it gets colder,
01:55:45the plane goes down
01:55:47and the passengers feel
01:55:49like they are doing roller coasters.
01:55:51The air is so light
01:55:53that the passengers don't feel it.
01:55:55Do you know that planes can fly
01:55:57even after a failure of an engine?
01:55:59Pilots can handle such an emergency
01:56:01and land the plane safely.
01:56:03Passengers can feel
01:56:05a slight inclination during the flight
01:56:07but in most cases
01:56:09they don't even know
01:56:11that the plane is flying
01:56:13with just one engine.
01:56:15Your eyes receive oxygen
01:56:17directly from the air.
01:56:19They are not driven by blood.
01:56:21They help you keep your eyes moist.
01:56:24It is forbidden to carry
01:56:26large volumes of liquid on board
01:56:28because some dangerous substances
01:56:30can easily be dissolved in water.
01:56:32If a plane has to sink,
01:56:34its wings become lifeboats.
01:56:36Empty fuel tanks
01:56:38also help the planes to float.
01:56:40In fact, it can take 10 to 60 hours
01:56:42before the plane sinks.
01:56:44It all depends on the model,
01:56:46the weather conditions
01:56:48and the pilot's skills.
01:56:49These smiling air hostesses
01:56:51that you meet when you enter the cabin
01:56:53usually hide their hands behind their backs.
01:56:55They count the people
01:56:57who enter the plane
01:56:59to make sure that all the passengers are on board.
01:57:01Despite what people say
01:57:03about the food in the planes,
01:57:05it is actually not so bad.
01:57:07The problem is your sense of taste
01:57:09which is no longer as efficient
01:57:11because the cabin air makes your mouth dry.
01:57:13It also fades your smell.
01:57:15This is why airlines
01:57:17add a lot of spices and salt
01:57:19to your food.
01:57:21Is it true that your hair grows faster
01:57:23during a flight?
01:57:25Not really.
01:57:27Scientists have not been able to prove it.
01:57:29This myth appeared in the first part
01:57:31of the 20th century
01:57:33when some passengers noticed
01:57:35that their beards had grown more
01:57:37during a flight.
01:57:39It is normal for people to have a headache
01:57:41during a flight,
01:57:43especially just after take-off.
01:57:45You climb to a higher altitude
01:57:47than Mount Everest
01:57:49and the safety belts
01:57:51are placed above your belly
01:57:53to prevent you from being thrown
01:57:55against the ceiling
01:57:57in case of turbulence.
01:57:59When this happens,
01:58:01the plane starts to move from top to bottom
01:58:03and your belt holds you firmly.
01:58:05Conversely, the safety belts in cars
01:58:07protect people from horizontal collisions.
01:58:09The planes have a special protection
01:58:11against lightning.
01:58:13Even if it strikes,
01:58:15passengers will not feel it.
01:58:17The planes are covered
01:58:19by a protective layer
01:58:21that does not allow it
01:58:23to penetrate inside the plane.
01:58:25The electronics
01:58:27and fuel tanks
01:58:29also have an additional protection.
01:58:31Plane seats are uncomfortable
01:58:33because airlines
01:58:35try to fit as many passengers
01:58:37as possible in a plane.
01:58:39This is why there is so little space
01:58:41between the seats.
01:58:43Two additional rows
01:58:45means 12 more passengers.
01:58:47In addition,
01:58:49a plane seat costs
01:58:51€15,000.
01:58:53And by the way,
01:58:55your seat has a waterproof coating.
01:58:57This is necessary
01:58:59to prevent a fire from spreading
01:59:01in case of an accident.
01:59:03Airport employees
01:59:05carry unrequited luggage
01:59:07to special centers.
01:59:09If the owner does not show up
01:59:11within three months,
01:59:13the luggage is sold
01:59:15in specialized stores.
01:59:17In the past,
01:59:19the plane's electronics
01:59:21were insulated.
01:59:23Oxygen masks fall
01:59:25not only during strong turbulence,
01:59:27but also when air pressure
01:59:29inside the cabin
01:59:31changes radically.
01:59:33Passengers are not at risk
01:59:35if they wear oxygen masks.
01:59:37But in such cases,
01:59:39they are considered an emergency
01:59:41and pilots do their best
01:59:43to quickly descend
01:59:45to a safe altitude
01:59:47so that passengers
01:59:49do not fall behind
01:59:51the most famous paintings in the world.
01:59:53We are talking about works
01:59:55by Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo
01:59:57or Picasso.
01:59:59Don't forget your magnifying glass
02:00:01because your adventure
02:00:03is about to begin.
02:00:05The first city on your list
02:00:07is Rome.
02:00:09After tasting delicious pasta,
02:00:11you head to the Sistine Chapel
02:00:13which houses the most famous ceiling
02:00:15in the world.
02:00:17Have you ever heard
02:00:19about a complex platform system
02:00:21that allows you to paint standing up?
02:00:23You are admiring
02:00:25the creation of Adam
02:00:27who is the fresco in the middle.
02:00:29The Italian artist was known
02:00:31for his precise knowledge
02:00:33of human anatomy.
02:00:35Art experts say
02:00:37that the right part of the painting
02:00:39is an anatomically correct representation
02:00:41of an enlarged brain.
02:00:43To verify it,
02:00:45you try to superimpose
02:00:47an image of the organ
02:00:49and the pituitary gland
02:00:51are all there.
02:00:53Even the floating thing
02:00:55in the shape of a green scarf
02:00:57seems to correspond
02:00:59to the vertebral artery.
02:01:01Some researchers think
02:01:03that this is the way
02:01:05Michelangelo painted
02:01:07knowledge and wisdom
02:01:09but you need a night's sleep
02:01:11to get a definitive idea.
02:01:13The next day,
02:01:15you catch a train
02:01:17and arrive in Florence.
02:01:19This is the David of Michelangelo.
02:01:21This David is a marvel
02:01:23of marble 5 meters high.
02:01:25It has been sculpted
02:01:27for about 3 years.
02:01:29The mystery around it
02:01:31is to discover
02:01:33the true expression of the statue.
02:01:35By looking at it from below,
02:01:37you can tell
02:01:39that its face is serene and peaceful.
02:01:41But art historians
02:01:43say that this work
02:01:45has been widely misunderstood.
02:01:47Apparently,
02:01:49the veins of his arms are sagging.
02:01:51He doesn't look so relaxed
02:01:53after all, does he?
02:01:55Michelangelo's idea
02:01:57was to represent David
02:01:59just before a major confrontation.
02:02:01So maybe he wasn't
02:02:03as serene as that.
02:02:05Italy is so rich in works of art
02:02:07that you can't leave right away.
02:02:09You are still in Florence
02:02:11and you are now visiting
02:02:13the famous Gallery des Offices.
02:02:15Many famous paintings
02:02:17are housed in this museum.
02:02:19For example,
02:02:21Botticelli's painting.
02:02:23This work of art
02:02:25was shrouded in mystery
02:02:27from the start.
02:02:29Experts don't know
02:02:31the exact year it was commissioned.
02:02:33It remained without a title
02:02:35for years
02:02:37until the painter
02:02:39Giorgio Vasari
02:02:41finally found a name for it.
02:02:43Usually,
02:02:45when critics and the public
02:02:47admire this painting,
02:02:49they do so with
02:02:51almost photographic precision.
02:02:53And in the whole painting,
02:02:55these plant figures
02:02:57are repeated more than 200 times.
02:02:59Incredible!
02:03:01These days of visit
02:03:03were well filled, weren't they?
02:03:05Are you ready to continue?
02:03:07You jump in a plane
02:03:09and arrive in Paris,
02:03:11the city of lights,
02:03:13love and the famous Joconde.
02:03:15You cross the Louvre Museum
02:03:17and arrive in front of
02:03:19the famous Joconde.
02:03:21Solid arguments have been put forward
02:03:23to say that the Joconde
02:03:25could be a self-portrait of the painter himself.
02:03:27Historians have carefully compared
02:03:29his face to that of Mona Lisa
02:03:31and they are surprisingly similar.
02:03:33And then there is the theory
02:03:35of the smile in the corner.
02:03:37The dentist and art expert
02:03:39Joseph Bartofsky claims
02:03:41to have discovered the secret
02:03:43of Mona Lisa's rictus.
02:03:45He says that her tight facial expression
02:03:47is the typical indication
02:03:49that she is a painter.
02:03:51In 2010,
02:03:53the Italian Committee for Cultural Heritage
02:03:55also discovered a collection
02:03:57of hidden symbols in the painting.
02:03:59These are only visible
02:04:01with high-tech magnifying glasses,
02:04:03but they revealed that Leonardo da Vinci
02:04:05had inscribed an LV
02:04:07inside the right eye of Mona Lisa.
02:04:09Experts think
02:04:11this is the painter's signature,
02:04:13but the other symbols,
02:04:15a CE in the left eye
02:04:17and a 72 in the arch
02:04:19make a lot of discoveries at once.
02:04:21Of course,
02:04:23at the end of your visit,
02:04:25don't forget to test
02:04:27if his eyes really follow you.
02:04:29Now you're going to Amsterdam
02:04:31to visit the Rijksmuseum.
02:04:33You came to see a specific painting
02:04:35by Rembrandt
02:04:37that hides a mysterious story.
02:04:39The Night Round
02:04:41is one of the most famous paintings
02:04:43by the Flemish painter,
02:04:45but experts say
02:04:47that the name of the painting
02:04:49means a group of people
02:04:51ready to embark on a mission.
02:04:53Rembrandt's technique
02:04:55is called the clair-obscure
02:04:57and highlights the contrast
02:04:59between shadow and light.
02:05:01Until 1947,
02:05:03art critics thought
02:05:05that the painter was painting
02:05:07a night scene,
02:05:09but when the painting was removed
02:05:11from a thick layer of dust,
02:05:13it became clear
02:05:15that the scene was taking place
02:05:17in the middle of the day
02:05:19and in the middle of the night.
02:05:21During your stay in Amsterdam,
02:05:23you also visit a museum
02:05:25dedicated to the art of Vincent van Gogh.
02:05:27Did you know that he painted
02:05:29more than 900 paintings
02:05:31during a period of only 10 years?
02:05:33Anyway,
02:05:35the Van Gogh Museum
02:05:37houses the largest collection
02:05:39of ground-turning paintings
02:05:41you'll probably see in your life.
02:05:43In fact,
02:05:45almost all of Van Gogh's paintings
02:05:47feature dominant yellow tones.
02:05:49Van Gogh's diamond
02:05:51changed his perception of colours,
02:05:53making him see more yellow
02:05:55around him.
02:05:57Well, our journey continues.
02:05:59The next stop on your list
02:06:01is the United Kingdom,
02:06:03heading to the National Gallery.
02:06:05You could spend hours
02:06:07admiring the painting
02:06:09Les époux Arnolfini
02:06:11by Jan van Eyck
02:06:13and not see anything out of the ordinary.
02:06:15At first glance,
02:06:17a couple hold hands
02:06:19with another person in the room.
02:06:21Art experts say
02:06:23that the male figure in the painting
02:06:25raised his hands
02:06:27to greet the two people
02:06:29seen in the mirror
02:06:31and that one of the characters
02:06:33is Van Eyck himself.
02:06:35And it's not the only filigree
02:06:37the painter left behind.
02:06:39Above the mirror,
02:06:41you'll see his flamboyant signature
02:06:43Jan van Eyck et Attissi, 1434.
02:06:45Speaking of painters
02:06:47who leave traces of their own presence,
02:06:49let's take a look
02:06:51at one of his famous paintings,
02:06:53Bacchus.
02:06:55This one is a bit hard to spot.
02:06:57In the half-full carafe,
02:06:59in the lower left corner of the painting,
02:07:01there's a tiny self-portrait
02:07:03of the painter himself
02:07:05hidden in the liquid.
02:07:07To see the image clearly,
02:07:09you need a sophisticated technology
02:07:11or at least a very effective magnifying glass.
02:07:13But he's right there,
02:07:15a male character,
02:07:17alias Caravaggio,
02:07:19painted for the first time in 1922,
02:07:21more than 300 years
02:07:23after the painting was finished.
02:07:25But it was ignored
02:07:27due to its poor preservation.
02:07:29To conclude your journey,
02:07:31you fly across the Atlantic
02:07:33to Chicago.
02:07:35The huge collection of the Art Institute
02:07:37houses a well-known painting
02:07:39by Pablo Picasso,
02:07:41the old guitarist.
02:07:43The secret of this painting
02:07:45is so well hidden
02:07:46and so sophisticated.
02:07:48But the results are worth it.
02:07:50The findings show
02:07:52that Picasso painted the old guitarist
02:07:54on top of another unfinished painting.
02:07:56You can clearly see
02:07:58the contours and shapes
02:08:00of a half-drawn female figure
02:08:02that Picasso abandoned
02:08:04in the middle of his work.
02:08:06The emerging artists of the time
02:08:08often used this way
02:08:10to save money
02:08:12because paintings were expensive.
02:08:14And that's it for this world tour
02:08:16of the world of Sherlock Holmes.
02:08:18Have you ever taken a moment
02:08:20to think about the exciting secrets
02:08:22of today's everyday life
02:08:24on planet Earth?
02:08:26We're talking about small doors
02:08:28in washing machines
02:08:30and small holes in plane windows.
02:08:32If you have no idea
02:08:34of what we're talking about,
02:08:36let yourself be surprised
02:08:38and you'll discover a lot of things.
02:08:40You see this drawer
02:08:42under your oven?
02:08:44Maybe you've ignored it
02:08:46because it's used
02:08:48to store pans and pans.
02:08:50Well, even if it can actually
02:08:52serve as a storage space,
02:08:54it's not its only function.
02:08:56The best way to use this drawer
02:08:58is to keep your meal warm
02:09:00while you wait to serve it.
02:09:02Great, isn't it?
02:09:04Speaking of secret spaces,
02:09:06did you notice that most washing machines
02:09:08also had small folding doors at the bottom?
02:09:10These doors actually serve
02:09:12as evacuation hatches.
02:09:14This is where all the stuff
02:09:16you need is stored.
02:09:18It's a kind of collector
02:09:20for small intruders.
02:09:22It prevents them from reaching
02:09:24the evacuation hatches
02:09:26and locking them.
02:09:28This saves hundreds of euros
02:09:30in repair each month.
02:09:32Now, who hasn't had the hard task
02:09:34of measuring the exact amount
02:09:36of leather spaghetti per person?
02:09:38Here's the solution.
02:09:40The hole in the middle
02:09:42of the leather.
02:09:44It's there to measure
02:09:46the amount of spaghetti per person.
02:09:48On a similar subject,
02:09:50have you ever wondered
02:09:52why the pen caps had a hole?
02:09:54You may have thought
02:09:56it was a technical feature
02:09:58used to regulate air pressure.
02:10:00But in reality,
02:10:02this hole has a much simpler
02:10:04and more important function.
02:10:06Reduce the risk of suffocation.
02:10:08Many people like to bite
02:10:10their pen caps
02:10:12and this tiny hole
02:10:14prevents them from suffocating
02:10:16in their throats.
02:10:18For cooking lovers,
02:10:20there's a secret
02:10:22hidden under your nose
02:10:24that can change your life.
02:10:26Think of the pan.
02:10:28Now, think of their handles.
02:10:30Yes, they also have a hole.
02:10:32And it turns out
02:10:34this hole was designed
02:10:36to house the spoon
02:10:38you use to cook.
02:10:40And instead of spilling sauce
02:10:42all over the kitchen,
02:10:44you can put the spoon
02:10:46in your pocket.
02:10:48Most door handles
02:10:50are made of brass
02:10:52because this material
02:10:54makes them naturally antibacterial.
02:10:56Unlike plastic,
02:10:58brass door handles
02:11:00are somehow magical.
02:11:02They can disinfect
02:11:04without you cleaning them.
02:11:06Have you ever noticed
02:11:08that under a meter
02:11:10there was a small hole?
02:11:12You can find it in the metal part
02:11:14on which you have to pull
02:11:16a nail to hold it
02:11:18while you measure.
02:11:20As for the margins of your notebook,
02:11:22they were invented
02:11:24to protect the pages from rotting.
02:11:26No, they didn't copy people's answers
02:11:28during math exams,
02:11:30but it was a time
02:11:32when people had to live
02:11:34with rats and mice
02:11:36who often rotted the paper.
02:11:38So, to prevent information
02:11:40from getting lost,
02:11:42we created margins.
02:11:44This way,
02:11:46through expression,
02:11:48you can digest information.
02:11:50And what about these tiny holes
02:11:52at the bottom of the plane's windows?
02:11:54They have an extremely important function,
02:11:56to regulate the air pressure
02:11:58inside the cabin.
02:12:00In other words,
02:12:02they help planes fly high in the sky.
02:12:04Pretty important, isn't it?
02:12:06In fact,
02:12:08a plane's tablets
02:12:10are the most germ-infected places
02:12:12in the entire cabin.
02:12:14Studies have shown
02:12:16that they are like
02:12:18toilet water.
02:12:20And now,
02:12:22what would you say
02:12:24to cut a commercial plane in half
02:12:26and see what's inside?
02:12:28Well, it would look more or less like this.
02:12:30Rows of seats at the top
02:12:32and everything that should be at the bottom.
02:12:34We're talking about passengers' luggage,
02:12:36emergency supplies,
02:12:38wing system parts,
02:12:40and so on.
02:12:42Well, let's move on to bowling balls,
02:12:44even if the transition is a bit brutal.
02:12:46If you cut a professional ball in half,
02:12:48you'll see a familiar shape.
02:12:50Take a good look.
02:12:52Can you see it?
02:12:54Doesn't it look like Simpa's logo?
02:12:56Anyway,
02:12:58professional bowling balls
02:13:00are different from your local bowling ball.
02:13:02That's because they are designed
02:13:04to make more precise movements.
02:13:06They actually have
02:13:08a very complex engineering inside.
02:13:10They are designed to help
02:13:12pros make more strikes.
02:13:14The weight of professional balls
02:13:16is more or less the same
02:13:18when they move on the bowling alley.
02:13:20So it's harder for them
02:13:22to get stuck in the gutters
02:13:24next to the alley.
02:13:26Speaking of bowling balls,
02:13:28let's take a look inside
02:13:30a baseball bat.
02:13:32To make it light and aerodynamic,
02:13:34the manufacturers use
02:13:36several different layers.
02:13:38Starting from the core,
02:13:40we have a black rubber-wrapped
02:13:42centerpiece.
02:13:44Then there's a layer of red rubber
02:13:46with a very visible white layer
02:13:48and this beautiful red seam
02:13:50on the side that unites it all.
02:13:52If you had a X-ray vision
02:13:54and you managed to look
02:13:56inside a human bone,
02:13:58what attracts the most attention
02:14:00is this structure
02:14:02that looks like a spider web
02:14:04in the center of the bone.
02:14:06In fact, it's a very condensed
02:14:08and complex structure of nerves
02:14:10that you have inside your bones.
02:14:12Now, a riddle.
02:14:14What is round,
02:14:16as in the Gutenheim Museum of New York?
02:14:19It's the one that's almost
02:14:21completely made of ramps.
02:14:23If you answered a shell
02:14:25of a nautile,
02:14:27you guessed right.
02:14:29A nautile is a shell
02:14:31that you can find
02:14:33in several souvenir shops
02:14:35near the beach.
02:14:37It's comprised of two layers,
02:14:39one outside with a matte white
02:14:41and one inside with a iridescent white.
02:14:44And if you had to divide it in two,
02:14:46excellent for healing and also for hydration.
02:14:49But if you managed to look inside an aloe leaf,
02:14:52the image you would see would be as satisfying as relaxing.
02:14:56Who has never dreamed of a pool filled with jam?
02:15:01There seems to be nothing more banal than a toothpaste tube,
02:15:04but you would change your mind if you cut a tube that contains several colors.
02:15:08There have been speculations that the inside of such a tube
02:15:12may be divided by barriers so that the strips do not mix.
02:15:16But if you cut it in half, you will see that it has only one inner space.
02:15:21It turns out that a complex science is hidden behind the manufacture of toothpaste.
02:15:25According to a specialist,
02:15:27it is necessary to ensure that all stripes have the same physical properties.
02:15:31In this way, colors are naturally prevented from mixing with each other.
02:15:35That's why if you cut a tube,
02:15:37you will see something that looks like several slices of pizza of different colors.
02:15:42Now, if you open your closet, you will find at least a few wooden belts.
02:15:47They are generally made of cedar wood, which is a natural repulsive against mites.
02:15:52For some people, the eyeliner is an essential part of everyday life.
02:15:57But did you know that in ancient Egypt,
02:16:00men and women wore glue to protect their eyes from the sun's glow?
02:16:06Normally, we use headrests to, well, rest our heads, right?
02:16:12Not only.
02:16:13It turns out that the headrests can be easily removed from the seats
02:16:17and used to break the car windows in case of emergency.
02:16:21Very few people know the following trick.
02:16:24You probably place your straw in the width, like most of us.
02:16:28But straws have the function of absorbing the dirt from the soles of your shoes
02:16:32before you enter your home.
02:16:34Because it works as it is supposed to,
02:16:36the best way to place a straw is in the length.
02:16:40This way, you will take more steps on the straw before entering your home.
02:16:45And finally, you probably passed the vacuum cleaner in the wrong way,
02:16:49and we can prove it.
02:16:51Most people are content to vacuum the floors and carpets in one direction
02:16:55or to move the front brush back and forth several times,
02:16:58thinking that they have eliminated all the dust.
02:17:01But according to cleaning professionals,
02:17:03the best way to vacuum is in a row.
02:17:06First, you move forward with the brush until you reach the end of the row.
02:17:11Then you sweep the carpet and you go back down along the same row
02:17:15by picking up the dust that was not collected during the first sweeping.
02:17:19Or, if you don't want to disturb the dust,
02:17:21you can be content to sweep the room with a simple glance.
02:17:27You go to the supermarket to buy some small items.
02:17:30The cash register goes much faster
02:17:32than when you have to wait for people to unload their huge cart.
02:17:36But this noisy voice that comes from the machine,
02:17:38which keeps ordering, cuts you off.
02:17:41I have good news for you.
02:17:43You can turn it off.
02:17:44Look closer at the screen.
02:17:45You will probably see a volume button at the bottom.
02:17:48Use your finger to cut this painful voice too weird for good.
02:17:53All machines do not have this hidden option,
02:17:55but it's really worth checking.
02:17:58Normally, the sunflower oil bottles have a weird plug inside.
02:18:03Most people remove the top part and throw it away.
02:18:07But there is actually a better way to use it.
02:18:09Turn the detached part inwards and put it in the bottle cap.
02:18:14This will make an excellent distributor
02:18:16and you will never pour too much oil into your salad.
02:18:20Do you want a picnic with your friends in nature?
02:18:23Forget your classic meal basket.
02:18:25We were all wrong.
02:18:26In fact, it's not a basket, but a bucket.
02:18:29Yes, it is much better to put your picnic stuff in several buckets.
02:18:33This will allow you to evenly distribute the weight between all the guests.
02:18:37When you have found a nice place for your picnic
02:18:40and you have taken out all your stuff,
02:18:42turn the buckets over and use them as a stool.
02:18:46When the meal is over,
02:18:48place the buckets side by side to gain space on the way back.
02:18:53Your toasts are starting to burn,
02:18:54but you don't have a kitchen tweezers on hand?
02:18:57Take two identical forks,
02:18:58put them together and tie them tightly with an elastic.
02:19:02And there you go, your tweezers are ready.
02:19:05Have you ever wondered what this double bottom
02:19:07under the Nutella lid was for?
02:19:10There is only one way to find out.
02:19:12Here is a brand new pot of Nutella.
02:19:15Let's remove the white circle from the cardboard
02:19:17and stick the aluminum foil.
02:19:19Surprise!
02:19:20There should be a small knife to cut the golden aluminum foil.
02:19:24Now you know how to have access to your favorite cutie
02:19:28without hurting your hands.
02:19:30Don't throw the glass pot away once you've finished eating Nutella.
02:19:33It can turn into a candle holder or a lantern.
02:19:36Wash it, paint it on your back,
02:19:39add decorations or letters,
02:19:41glue a nice rope around the edge of the pot,
02:19:44place a candle or a bright candle inside the glass pot.
02:19:48No one will ever guess it was a Nutella jar.
02:19:51It will be our secret.
02:19:53Have you ever wondered why Ritz cookies have teeth on the edge?
02:19:57You can use them as a cheese knife
02:19:59and soft products like cucumbers, ham, etc.
02:20:04Just turn the cracker as if it were a tiny pizza knife and press.
02:20:10Now all the ingredients fit perfectly on your cracker.
02:20:13Enjoy your snack!
02:20:15You also have one of those old baking trays that you never use
02:20:18but still hesitate to throw away.
02:20:20Good news!
02:20:21You can recycle it and make a beautiful frame for a painting or a photo.
02:20:25There are two ways to proceed.
02:20:27Grease the surface of your tray and fix the image at the bottom.
02:20:31In this case, the frame will stick to the front.
02:20:34You can also turn the tray upside down
02:20:36and the edges will hide at the back.
02:20:38Hang this achievement on a wall or place it on a shelf.
02:20:42And do not hesitate to use metal paint to give your frame a suitable color.
02:20:48An old cutting board can make an excellent frame for a mirror.
02:20:53Use double-sided tape to attach a mirror to the surface of your board.
02:20:58Make sure the mirror is well glued.
02:21:01You can now hang it on the wall using the handle of the board
02:21:05or place it on a cupboard and trim it to the wall.
02:21:08Do not forget to wash and dry the cutting board before starting this DIY.
02:21:13We do not want the mirror to smell like fish, do we?
02:21:16Another great power of a cutting board is to keep the wires without knots.
02:21:22Wrap a few light garlands around an old wooden cutting board
02:21:26and put it in your cupboard.
02:21:28During the upcoming holidays, they will still be completely untangled.
02:21:32A hairdryer can make an excellent mini vacuum cleaner
02:21:35when you need to do an emergency cleaning.
02:21:38Cut a plastic bottle and dry it.
02:21:41Put a layer of fabric on the fan of your dryer.
02:21:44Then place the fan on the bottom of the plastic bottle.
02:21:49Attach the bottle to the dryer using a shelf.
02:21:52Turn it on and hop!
02:21:54You are ready to clean up the mess.
02:21:57You can use an old gas cooker grid to hang your interior plants.
02:22:03Attach it to the wall using screws or nails.
02:22:06Now you are ready to hang flower pots, electrical garlands
02:22:10and other decorative elements.
02:22:13If the color of your cooker grid does not match your interior,
02:22:17you can always fix it by using bomb paint.
02:22:21Chinese chopsticks and wooden ice sticks
02:22:24can also turn into a beautiful panel that will decorate your interior.
02:22:30Glue the edges together to create a grid.
02:22:33You can also compose your name or any other word you want with the chopsticks.
02:22:38Then wrap the grid with the light garlands and enjoy your decoration.
02:22:44Do not throw away your frozen aluminum foil.
02:22:47It can help you illuminate the day.
02:22:49Make identical aluminum foil balls and glue them on a glass.
02:22:53A mirror frame or even a book
02:22:56and your life will immediately become more glamorous.
02:22:59If you need to sharpen your used scissors,
02:23:02take aluminum foil and crush it into a ball.
02:23:05Sharpen the edges of the scissors directly on this aluminum foil ball.
02:23:09To speed up your ironing,
02:23:11place pieces of aluminum foil under your ironing board
02:23:14and put the coating back on.
02:23:16The aluminum foil will reflect the heat.
02:23:19The iron to be ironed will be warmer and will work much faster.
02:23:23If you have trouble organizing all your jewelry and you lose from time to time,
02:23:28your favorite articles use a sponge to store them.
02:23:31Just make a few notches and place your little treasures inside these notches.
02:23:36They will hold firmly in the sponge and will not fall or mix.
02:23:42You can also use a sponge to create an organizer for your jewelry.
02:23:48Find a nice box, cut your sponge into pieces of the same size
02:23:51and place them inside the box.
02:23:54Use glue or tape to fix the sponge to the box
02:23:58and enjoy your new jewelry screen.
02:24:01You can easily make chocolate-covered strawberries at home.
02:24:04Take a plastic syringe.
02:24:06Fill it with chocolate paste, remove the leaves from the strawberry
02:24:10and push the syringe into the hole where the leaf usually comes out.
02:24:15Press the chocolate into the fruit and it's ready.
02:24:18You can use the same technique when you prepare eclairs, apples
02:24:22or when you want to leave a chocolate note on crepes
02:24:25to surprise your partner in the morning.
02:24:28Wooden pantyhose with metal clamps can be useful
02:24:31when it comes to hanging curtains or a wallpaper for your photo shoot.
02:24:36If you need to hang curtains but you don't have a special hook,
02:24:40place several pantyhose clamps along the length of the curtains
02:24:43and hang this structure at one end.
02:24:46In general, when we chop onions or fresh garlic,
02:24:49our fingers end up feeling bad for a while.
02:24:52This is no longer a fatality.
02:24:54Just rub a little lemon on your hands before touching the food you smell
02:24:58and they will feel the fresh lemon once you have finished.
02:25:01You can also use a green lemon or a red grapefruit instead of lemon.
02:25:07An old metal tea pot serves as a mini shelf for the little things in your kitchen.
02:25:12Put double-sided tape on the pot and glue it in the upper corner of your closet.
02:25:17You can use shoe bags like a linen bag or to store underwear,
02:25:20apart from other clothes.
02:25:22When you travel from summer to winter or vice versa,
02:25:25you will have to separate your warm clothes from summer clothes.
02:25:28Shoe bags will help you solve this problem.
02:25:32There is nothing better than a slice of grilled bread with butter for breakfast,
02:25:36except for sundaes with melted caramel.
02:25:39If you find it difficult to spread your cold butter on your bread,
02:25:42here's an idea.
02:25:43Use a cheese grater.
02:25:45But on the other hand, the amount of butter you need is reminiscent.
02:25:49This way, the amount of butter needed will soften
02:25:53and it will be easier to spread.
02:25:55But still, the melted caramel!
02:25:58There are different shapes and sizes of dried pasta for a reason.
02:26:02Each type of pasta goes perfectly with a certain type of sauce.
02:26:07Conchiglioni, for example, are perfect with a denser and thicker sauce.
02:26:12Why? Because the sauce enters the shells
02:26:15and makes the dish easier to serve.
02:26:18The stripes on the surface of the pasta hold the sauce.
02:26:24If you ever burn your biscuits,
02:26:26and damn it!
02:26:27You can get them back with your favorite cheese grater.
02:26:30Just grate the burnt parts once the biscuits have been removed from the baking tray.
02:26:34But be careful, wait until they have cooled down.
02:26:38If ever, by removing the burnt part, you dilute them a little,
02:26:41just dip them in melted chocolate.
02:26:44Once the chocolate hardens, you will have perfect biscuits.
02:26:47But let's be honest,
02:26:49does the shape of the biscuit really matter when tasting?
02:26:53I say that, I say nothing.
02:26:57If you make sandwiches with a lot of ingredients,
02:27:00but you don't want the bread to soften,
02:27:02there is a technique to prevent this from happening.
02:27:05Take the tomatoes or cucumbers you want to put in your sandwich
02:27:09and place them between two paper towels for 5 minutes.
02:27:12There you go, you can put them in the bread.
02:27:14Make sure to spread the butter, cheese or sauces like mayo or ketchup first on the bread.
02:27:20This will kind of seal the bread and prevent it from softening.
02:27:25Some people think you have to remove this little white filament
02:27:28that is next to the egg yolk before cooking it.
02:27:31I'm here to tell you that these filaments are called chalazes.
02:27:35And there is no need to get rid of it.
02:27:37They are there to hold the yolk in place, in the center of the egg.
02:27:41Chalazes have no impact on the consistency and taste of your food.
02:27:45It's up to you to see if you want to remove them or not.
02:27:49Have you ever noticed that the bricks of the juice have two tabs on the sides?
02:27:53They are actually handles.
02:27:56The manufacturers designed these bricks in this way
02:27:59so that we can handle them more easily, without crushing them and getting the juice out.
02:28:06No need to be a star chef to know that you can use white sugar or brown sugar in all your recipes.
02:28:12Have you ever wondered what the difference was between the two?
02:28:16It turns out that the only thing that differentiates them is the production mode.
02:28:20We add a small amount of molasses to the chalazes.
02:28:25Molasses is a kind of syrup obtained during the transformation of the sugar cane.
02:28:30This is what is removed during refining.
02:28:32This is how white sugar is produced.
02:28:35But if a certain amount of molasses remains in the final product,
02:28:38we get chalazes, which has a more pronounced taste and a darker color.
02:28:43It's a good thing.
02:28:46You can put a lot of things in your dishwasher.
02:28:48Not just plates and cutlery.
02:28:50For example, you can wash your kitchen gloves in silicone,
02:28:53the pommels of some household appliances, such as those in your oven or your hob.
02:28:58Some sponges and other reusable towels can also be washed in the dishwasher.
02:29:04Speaking of household products for the kitchen, you can do a lot of things with the dishwasher.
02:29:09You can clean your garden furniture, for example,
02:29:12add a little dishwasher liquid to hot water
02:29:14and use this mixture to rub all your garden furniture with a piece of fabric.
02:29:19Rinse them with your watering hose.
02:29:23You can also use your dishwasher to remove the grease stains from your clothes.
02:29:27The stains of pasta sauce, salad seasoning.
02:29:30Hey, we all happen to miss our mouth.
02:29:33Put a little dishwasher liquid on the stain and rinse with water.
02:29:37For light clothes, it is better to use non-colored liquid.
02:29:41For the most tenacious tasks, let the dishwasher act for a few minutes,
02:29:44then put the clothes in the machine as usual.
02:29:47And maybe buy yourself a bottle too.
02:29:49If you still haven't found a technique that suits you to organize your wardrobe
02:29:53and that you are overwhelmed by piles of clothes,
02:29:55there is a simple trick that might work.
02:29:58It's the one-of-a-kind technique.
02:30:03For each garment you buy, you have to get rid of an old garment.
02:30:08You will regularly unclog your wardrobe.
02:30:11To find things more easily, good luck,
02:30:14leave the clothes you use most often at the level of your eyes.
02:30:18You can find them more easily and take them out of the wardrobe quickly.
02:30:21Clothes that you use less often, such as evening clothes, for example,
02:30:25can be stored under or above the level of your eyes.
02:30:30The old boxes can be very useful.
02:30:33If you stick very powerful magnets inside,
02:30:36they can serve as magnet containers.
02:30:39You can store a lot of objects in there, such as kitchen pliers,
02:30:42ice spoons or even cutlery.
02:30:46You can place them on any metallic surface,
02:30:49such as the door of your fridge.
02:30:51They will go very well with the rest of your magnets.
02:30:54At the bottom of your laundry, you have an essential tool
02:30:57to pick up animal hair.
02:30:59It even works better than adhesive rollers.
02:31:01These are wipes for dry clothes.
02:31:04Just one of these wipes and a little elbow grease and you're done.
02:31:07No more hair everywhere.
02:31:09It works on all surfaces,
02:31:11but it's particularly effective on cluttered furniture.
02:31:14If you don't want your doors to squeak
02:31:16every time you enter a room,
02:31:18take a soap and rub it directly on the hinges.
02:31:22It only works for a short time,
02:31:24but it will work until you go to a DIY store.
02:31:28To buy lubricant, for example.
02:31:31You may have noticed that in some elevators
02:31:33there is a star next to this or that floor.
02:31:36And no, it's not made to indicate the floor of my office.
02:31:40It is used to indicate the closest exit.
02:31:43And it is not always on the first floor.
02:31:45It is rather on the floor closest to the street.
02:31:49Have you ever wondered why the stop signs are red?
02:31:53Some time ago, there were no specific colors.
02:31:57Before 1920, there was not even a standard shape.
02:32:01In 1922, someone had the idea to impose the octagon.
02:32:05But at first, these signs were yellow.
02:32:08The red faded too quickly because of the exposure to the sun.
02:32:12Yellow was the best option.
02:32:15It was only 30 years later
02:32:17that the more resistant enamel paint was invented.
02:32:20That's when the color of the stop signs became red.
02:32:24After all, it's the best color
02:32:26if you want something to be easily spotted.
02:32:30Did you know that there is a type of rosette
02:32:32that is taller than a man?
02:32:34According to the Guinness Book of Records,
02:32:36the tallest rosette that has ever existed
02:32:39is located in Vienna.
02:32:41And it measures more than 8.5 meters high.
02:32:44Yes, this rosette dared.
02:32:47Like our digital footprints, which are unique,
02:32:50there are no tigers with the same stripes.
02:32:54That's how people who work with these big felines
02:32:56distinguish them from each other.
02:32:59I bet you didn't know that the Maison Blanche
02:33:02has its own florist in the basement.
02:33:05This business takes care of the ornaments
02:33:07for all the events organized at the Maison Blanche.
02:33:11We know that pizza has become
02:33:13a staple food of American cuisine
02:33:15despite its Italian origins.
02:33:18This dish is so appreciated
02:33:20that Americans buy 350 pieces of pizza every second.
02:33:26Personally, I don't think I eat enough of it.
02:33:29To meet the incredible demand,
02:33:31about 17% of all restaurants in the United States
02:33:34are pizzerias.
02:33:37There is a technique to make lemonade
02:33:40without the lemon seeds in your glass.
02:33:43Cut the fruit in half
02:33:44and try to squeeze it with kitchen tweezers.
02:33:47The pointed part of half the lemon
02:33:49must be placed down.
02:33:51The juice will flow,
02:33:52but the seeds will remain in the lemon.
02:33:54Mmm, lemonade.
02:33:56It's good with pizza.
02:33:59Have you ever wondered
02:34:00what these extra holes are for
02:34:02at the top of your sports shoes?
02:34:04They are designed so that you can attach
02:34:06the shoes in several different ways.
02:34:08It's useful when you want to compensate
02:34:10for things like a bad stroke
02:34:12or even a damaged toe.
02:34:15In addition, you can modify the look of your shoes
02:34:17as you wish.
02:34:20Many people use the cover of their books
02:34:23as a page marker.
02:34:24This is not a problem.
02:34:26Thanks to it, you will not have to frame your pages.
02:34:28But the first objective of a cover
02:34:30is to protect the book
02:34:31against external damage.
02:34:33For example, if you spill fruit juice
02:34:35or if you drop food on your book
02:34:37while you read it.
02:34:40The tic-tac box has this little groove on top
02:34:43so that you can distribute
02:34:44a single tic-tac at a time.
02:34:46Even if, let's be honest,
02:34:47nobody does that.
02:34:49Most of us spill a lot of it at once,
02:34:52and then we put all these tic-tacs in excess.
02:34:57These little rubber tips
02:34:58that you see between the tire tread
02:35:00are there for your safety.
02:35:02They tell you what is the minimum height
02:35:03of your tread.
02:35:05If the tips and edges are equal,
02:35:07it's time for you to go as fast as you can
02:35:09to a tire store.
02:35:11But if the wear witnesses still have a margin
02:35:13compared to the edges,
02:35:14you can ride quietly.
02:35:17What about this black grid
02:35:18on the microwave glass?
02:35:20This is what we call a Faraday cage.
02:35:23And it's there to prevent microwaves
02:35:24from escaping
02:35:25and to turn the whole room into an oven.
02:35:29If microwaves escape,
02:35:30your meal won't be able to cook properly either.
02:35:33Indeed, this cage is not there
02:35:34to prevent you from seeing your meal
02:35:35while it's cooking,
02:35:37but so that the electromagnetic energy
02:35:39stays inside.
02:35:42And why not a screwdriver
02:35:43compatible with a wrench?
02:35:45Grip your screwdriver
02:35:46with the end of your wrench
02:35:48to increase its torsion force.
02:35:50That's why the head of your screwdriver
02:35:51is designed as it is.
02:35:53When you have weird angles,
02:35:54you can use this strategy.
02:35:57You've probably heard this myth before.
02:35:59The blue side of the eraser
02:36:00can erase the pencil.
02:36:02It's false.
02:36:03Its purpose is also to erase the pencil.
02:36:05But in case you write something
02:36:06on a more robust paper.
02:36:09The blue side can also remove these traces
02:36:10that may remain
02:36:11after using the pink eraser.
02:36:15You've already wondered
02:36:16why oranges in supermarkets
02:36:17are most often
02:36:18in red mesh bags.
02:36:20It's a tip
02:36:21so that the fruits have a brighter color,
02:36:22which encourages you to buy them.
02:36:25A bonus tip,
02:36:26don't throw away this mesh bag.
02:36:27Tie it up
02:36:28to have enough to cook your pans
02:36:29and clean your sink,
02:36:31your kitchen appliances
02:36:32and your dishes.
02:36:36You can see that golf balls
02:36:37don't have a perfectly round shape.
02:36:39Their surface is covered
02:36:40by many small sockets,
02:36:42which golf balls
02:36:43haven't always had.
02:36:44At some point,
02:36:45experienced golfers
02:36:46began to notice
02:36:47that with time,
02:36:48the old balls
02:36:49with imperfections,
02:36:50such as notches and bumps,
02:36:52could fly further.
02:36:55These roughnesses
02:36:56create turbulence in the air
02:36:57around the golf ball,
02:36:59which ends up reducing its drag.
02:37:01Manufacturers therefore began
02:37:02to produce balls
02:37:03with sockets
02:37:04so that they can go
02:37:05further and faster.
02:37:09You may have noticed
02:37:10that there were sometimes
02:37:11small cracks
02:37:12on the top of the toothpicks.
02:37:13It's more hygienic
02:37:14because when you break it,
02:37:15you can press the toothpick
02:37:16on it
02:37:17and it won't touch anything else.
02:37:21Another safety device
02:37:23that you will find
02:37:24in your car this time
02:37:25is a strap
02:37:26on your rearview mirror.
02:37:28With it,
02:37:29you can change the position
02:37:30of the mirror
02:37:31so as not to be blind
02:37:32if there is a car behind you
02:37:33driving in the headlights.
02:37:35This small strap
02:37:36helps you control
02:37:37the glow of the lights
02:37:38coming from the rear.
02:37:39This function appeared
02:37:40in the 1930s,
02:37:41but it was only
02:37:42at the beginning of the 1970s
02:37:43that it became
02:37:44a standard equipment
02:37:45for most cars
02:37:46and other trucks.
02:37:49Do you see this little hole
02:37:50on your iPhone
02:37:51just next to the rear-facing
02:37:52camera?
02:37:53It's a microphone.
02:37:55And it's there
02:37:56so that your phone
02:37:57can record the sound
02:37:58when you rotate your camera.
02:38:01Some cables
02:38:02have a thick cylinder
02:38:03towards the end of the cord.
02:38:05This is called
02:38:06a ferrite core.
02:38:08It's a magnetic iron oxide
02:38:10that stops electromagnetic
02:38:11interferences
02:38:12at high frequencies.
02:38:14Do you see, for example,
02:38:15this annoying static noise
02:38:16you get
02:38:17if you bring your phone
02:38:18too close
02:38:19to a speaker?
02:38:20It interferes
02:38:21with your call.
02:38:22This is why
02:38:23cable cords
02:38:24with large cylinders
02:38:25are rather useful
02:38:26because they prevent
02:38:27this kind of thing.
02:38:29Do you know why
02:38:30almost all luggage bags
02:38:31and backpacks
02:38:32have two lightning zippers?
02:38:33It's much more practical
02:38:34and easier
02:38:35to open it this way.
02:38:36But that's not all.
02:38:38You can also lock
02:38:39these two sliding zippers
02:38:40together
02:38:41so that the stuff
02:38:42inside your bags
02:38:43is safe.
02:38:44You know,
02:38:45just like public toilets
02:38:46and shopping centres
02:38:47have these large spaces
02:38:48at the bottom of the door,
02:38:50it's mainly
02:38:51for better air circulation.
02:38:53This type of door
02:38:54also makes it easier
02:38:55to clean the toilets
02:38:56or check
02:38:57if they're occupied
02:38:58when you wait.
02:39:00Apart from that,
02:39:01if you're stuck inside
02:39:02and the lock is broken,
02:39:04there's always a way
02:39:05to escape.
02:39:06You can simply
02:39:07crawl out.
02:39:09Have you ever noticed
02:39:10the plastic tips
02:39:11on the cutters?
02:39:13The blade
02:39:14also has a notch,
02:39:15which means
02:39:16that you can
02:39:17renew it several times,
02:39:18always with sharp edges.
02:39:20You can separate
02:39:21these pieces of blade
02:39:22with these plastic tips.
02:39:23Then,
02:39:24all you have to do
02:39:25is move the sliding part
02:39:26to push this new blade
02:39:27forward.
02:39:28If you've ever taken a moment
02:39:29to look at
02:39:30a Lambda supermarket box,
02:39:32especially its foldable section,
02:39:34you've probably noticed
02:39:35these metal loops
02:39:36that protrude.
02:39:37They're designed
02:39:38to protect the items
02:39:39that you carry
02:39:40in your trunk.
02:39:41You can use them
02:39:42to hang bags
02:39:43containing soft items,
02:39:45like bread
02:39:46that you don't want
02:39:47to accidentally crush
02:39:48with heavier products
02:39:49or things that are
02:39:50easier to break,
02:39:51like eggs.
02:39:53Many coffee cups
02:39:54have curved notches
02:39:55on the bottom.
02:39:56When you wash your cups,
02:39:57place them against
02:39:58the drawer
02:39:59of your dishwasher.
02:40:00This way,
02:40:01the water won't
02:40:02accumulate inside
02:40:03and your favorite cup
02:40:04will be completely dry
02:40:05when you take it out of here.
02:40:09If you're a fan
02:40:10of McFlurry,
02:40:11you've probably noticed
02:40:12that there was
02:40:13a square hole
02:40:14in the handle
02:40:15of their spoon.
02:40:16It's there
02:40:17so you can attach it
02:40:18to this special machine
02:40:19that mixes
02:40:20the ice cream
02:40:21with your favorite toppings.
02:40:22The machine
02:40:23has a bar
02:40:24that slides
02:40:25into this square-shaped
02:40:26spoon
02:40:27and carefully
02:40:28stirs it.
02:40:29And they give you
02:40:30this spoon
02:40:31to minimize
02:40:32the damage
02:40:33during the process.
02:40:34Pretty cool,
02:40:35isn't it?
02:40:36An ordinary can
02:40:37usually has
02:40:38a nozzle on the side.
02:40:39Some of you
02:40:40may see
02:40:41a random design choice,
02:40:42but this nozzle
02:40:43fulfills several objectives.
02:40:44One of them
02:40:45is to inflate
02:40:46if there's
02:40:47an accumulation of gas.
02:40:48This happens
02:40:49when your milk
02:40:50has turned.
02:40:51This way,
02:40:52you don't even need
02:40:53to taste it
02:40:54to check.
02:40:55In addition,
02:40:56the nozzle is there
02:40:57so that the bottle
02:40:58doesn't explode
02:40:59if you drop it
02:41:00accidentally.
02:41:01It allows
02:41:02an expansion space
02:41:03that takes in
02:41:04the sudden pressure
02:41:05that happens
02:41:06when you drop it.
02:41:07This is
02:41:08the dental floss.
02:41:09It's important
02:41:10to take care
02:41:11of your teeth,
02:41:12and it's easy
02:41:13to guess
02:41:14how to use it.
02:41:15But it's also
02:41:16great in the kitchen
02:41:17because it's
02:41:18a very precise
02:41:19cake cutter.
02:41:20Much more effective
02:41:21than an ordinary knife.
02:41:22Most kitchen scissors
02:41:23have a key opening
02:41:24right here
02:41:25in the middle
02:41:26where the blades
02:41:27and handles
02:41:28meet.
02:41:29It's something
02:41:30you can use
02:41:31to remove
02:41:32difficult herbs
02:41:33like thyme
02:41:34or rosemary.
02:41:35In addition,
02:41:36you don't need
02:41:37to remove the leaves
02:41:38by hand.
02:41:39But you can
02:41:40remove them
02:41:41in one move.
02:41:42A large part
02:41:43of the yoghurt
02:41:44or flan skins
02:41:45are provided
02:41:46with an aluminum
02:41:47paper lid.
02:41:48And in most cases,
02:41:49you can use
02:41:50this lid
02:41:51as a disposable spoon.
02:41:52You just need
02:41:53to take it off
02:41:54and after a few
02:41:55simple folds,
02:41:56you'll have
02:41:57a small,
02:41:58perfect spoon
02:41:59for your 4 hours.
02:42:00More than 40 billion
02:42:01Oreo biscuits
02:42:02are made
02:42:03every year.
02:42:04They are
02:42:05the most popular
02:42:06industrial biscuits
02:42:07in the world.
02:42:08The geometric pattern
02:42:09on these biscuits
02:42:10is the Nabisco logo,
02:42:11a symbol
02:42:12of European quality
02:42:13that includes
02:42:14the word
02:42:15Oreo.
02:42:16It was in 1952
02:42:17that William Turnier
02:42:18created the chocolate biscuit
02:42:19design
02:42:20we know today.
02:42:21Wireless headphones
02:42:22could soon
02:42:23belong to the past
02:42:24because of
02:42:25wireless technology.
02:42:26But if you still have some,
02:42:27you may have noticed
02:42:28the rings
02:42:29on the headphones.
02:42:30One ring
02:42:31symbolizes a mono sound,
02:42:32two rings
02:42:33symbolize a stereo sound
02:42:34and three rings
02:42:35mean you have
02:42:36a stereo sound
02:42:37and an integrated microphone.
02:42:38The iconic rings
02:42:39orange,
02:42:40red,
02:42:41purple,
02:42:42yellow
02:42:43and lime green
02:42:44of the Fruit Loops
02:42:45cereals
02:42:46hide a secret.
02:42:47They don't represent
02:42:48different fruit flavors.
02:42:49All these rings
02:42:50have the same
02:42:51fruit flavors
02:42:52mixed together.
02:42:53The colors are
02:42:54just there
02:42:55to make it pretty.

02:51:15Mesdames et messieurs, veuillez accueillir notre invité spécial d'aujourd'hui, le sac à ordures.
02:51:21Des inventeurs canadiens ont créé cet article ménager irremplaçable, il y a environ 70 ans.
02:51:26Aujourd'hui, il existe dans une grande variété de formes, de couleurs et de tailles.
02:51:31Et si tu penses qu'il ne peut servir qu'à une seule chose, j'ai une grande surprise pour toi.
02:51:35Il peut également t'empêcher de recevoir des communications indésirées.
02:51:38Mais nous y reviendrons plus tard.
02:51:40Et si je te disais que tu as mal utilisé tes sacs poubelles toute ta vie,
02:51:44si tu les regardes de plus près, tu remarqueras probablement que la couture est à l'envers.
02:51:48Et ce n'est pas par accident.
02:51:50En fait, tu n'es pas censé secouer le sac pour l'ouvrir.
02:51:53Il faut placer le sac sur une poubelle, comme un chapeau,
02:51:56puis pousser le milieu du sac vers la poubelle.
02:51:58Ne t'inquiète pas, tu n'es pas la seule personne qui ne le savait pas.
02:52:01Cette astuce époustouflante est devenue virale en ligne et a été vue des millions de fois.
02:52:06Imagine que tu dois teindre tes cheveux, peindre des murs ou mouler un mug en argile sur le champ.
02:52:11Mais tu n'as pas de combinaison de protections sous la main.
02:52:14Eh bien, voici une bonne nouvelle.
02:52:16Tu peux en fabriquer une à partir d'un sac en plastique en moins d'une minute.
02:52:20Il suffit de trouver un sac assez large pour s'adapter à ton torse.
02:52:23Découpe un trou au fond du sac pour ta tête et deux trous pour les bras sur les côtés.
02:52:27Voilà! N'hésite pas à fabriquer un chapeau avec un autre sac en plastique pour protéger tes cheveux.
02:52:33Une fois le travail terminé, tu peux laver ce costume fait main et le réutiliser.
02:52:37Notre prochaine astuce est pour ceux qui n'aiment pas gaspiller d'argent.
02:52:41Tu peux utiliser un vrai sac en plastique au lieu d'un imperméable, qui ressemble à un sac en plastique de toute façon.
02:52:46Il suffit de faire une découpe ronde pour ton visage et tu es prêt à partir.
02:52:50Tu peux le réutiliser autant de fois que tu veux.
02:52:53Tu peux utiliser une bouteille en plastique pour créer un distributeur de sacs d'ordure.
02:52:57Prends une grande bouteille. Il peut s'agir d'une bouteille de soda ou de gel douche.
02:53:02Ce qui compte, c'est sa forme. Elle doit être droite pour que tu puisses facilement y ranger des sacs.
02:53:06Lève la bouteille, sèche-la et coupe le goulot et le fond.
02:53:10Retourne-la à l'envers. Voilà, ton distributeur de sacs est prêt.
02:53:14Tu peux utiliser ton imagination pour peindre et décorer ton projet de bricolage avec des autocollants et des lettres à ton goût.
02:53:21Lorsque le motif est prêt, fixe-le à l'arrière de la bouteille et colle ce support au mur de ta cuisine ou à l'une des portes de l'armoire.
02:53:28Imagine que tu planifies depuis longtemps un week-end de randonnée de rêve.
02:53:32Mais lorsque tu arrives sur place, il se met à pleuvoir.
02:53:35Ne te précipite pas pour rentrer chez toi.
02:53:37Les sacs en plastique te seront très utiles si tu dois poser tes vêtements ou ton équipement sur l'herbe mouillée.
02:53:42Tu peux également fabriquer une housse de sac de couchage d'urgence en utilisant un grand sac poubelle.
02:53:47Après la pluie, il servira de jolis matelas à poser sous ton sac de couchage,
02:53:51pour le protéger de l'humidité et fournir une couche supplémentaire en vue d'une sieste confortable.
02:53:56Il suffit de remplir le sac avec des feuilles et de la paille qui traînent sur le sol et le tour est joué.
02:54:02Un grand sac poubelle peut être ton meilleur ami quand tu fais du camping sauvage avec des potes.
02:54:06Tu peux le transformer en une douche artisanale temporaire, des toilettes ou même un vestiaire fait à partir d'un seul sac.
02:54:13Il suffit de l'accrocher à un arbre et personne ne pourra te voir.
02:54:17Si tu veux aller te balader sous la pluie avec ta paire de chaussures préférées qui se mouillent facilement,
02:54:21voici une astuce facile pour garder tes chaussettes au sec.
02:54:24Mets des sacs en plastique sur tes chaussettes,
02:54:26rentre les bords des sacs à l'intérieur de celle-ci ou de ton pantalon,
02:54:30puis enfile tes chaussures.
02:54:32Il y a cependant un inconvénient évident.
02:54:34Les pieds peuvent glisser à l'intérieur des chaussures, alors fais très attention.
02:54:38Ces chaussettes en plastique sont également très pratiques
02:54:41quand tu essayes d'enfiler des jeans serrés dans lesquels tes pieds restent généralement coincés.
02:54:45Ton sac s'est-il déjà déchiré au pire moment ?
02:54:48Un sac en plastique avec des poignées peut devenir un sac à dos d'urgence.
02:54:51Il suffit de placer tes affaires à l'intérieur du sac,
02:54:54de passer tes mains dans les poignées et te voilà prêt à partir.
02:54:58Un sac poubelle est également un bon matériau pour les couvertures de livres.
02:55:01Tu peux réutiliser des sacs multicolores pour créer un motif unique pour tes livres préférés.
02:55:06Tu déménages dans une nouvelle maison et tu emballes toutes tes affaires.
02:55:09Soudain, tu es à court de carton.
02:55:11Cela te semble familier ? Pas de problème !
02:55:14Prends un paquet de grands sacs poubelles et emballe les affaires restantes.
02:55:17Contrairement aux boîtes, cet emballage protégera tes biens de la pluie ou de la neige.
02:55:21Les sacs poubelles sont particulièrement idéaux pour emballer les couvertures,
02:55:25les oreillers et les jouets en peluche.
02:55:27Si tu as besoin de faire un emballage sous vide pour tes vêtements ou tes jouets en peluche,
02:55:31il suffit de mettre les affaires dans un sac poubelle,
02:55:33de placer le tube de ton aspirateur à l'intérieur du sac,
02:55:36puis de le mettre en marche.
02:55:38L'aspirateur éliminera tout l'air excédentaire du sac
02:55:41et tu gagneras de la place dans ta valise ou ton grenier.
02:55:44Quelqu'un de vraiment spécial t'a invité à la maison pour préparer un dîner romantique.
02:55:48Enfin, tu veux montrer tous tes extraordinaires talents de cuisinier.
02:55:52Mais cette personne n'a pas de tablier et tu ne veux pas abîmer ta jolie tenue.
02:55:56Pas de panique, fabrique un tablier de secours en utilisant un grand sac poubelle.
02:56:00Cela surprendra encore plus cette personne si spéciale.
02:56:03En parlant de tenues élégantes, connais-tu la robe sac poubelle ?
02:56:07De temps en temps, des célébrités et des marques de mode célèbres
02:56:10choquent le public avec des tenues ressemblant à des sacs poubelles.
02:56:13Certains d'entre eux fabriquent même des tenues en utilisant des sacs poubelles comme tissu.
02:56:17C'est une option populaire pour les jeunes artistes
02:56:19qui ne peuvent pas se permettre d'acheter et d'utiliser des tissus coûteux.
02:56:22Les sacs poubelles sont très flexibles,
02:56:24ce qui en fait un matériau utile afin de créer des patrons pour de futures tenues.
02:56:28Lorsqu'il s'agit de sacs poubelles, les possibilités de système des sont presque infinies.
02:56:32Les gens utilisent des sacs pour fabriquer des abat-jours,
02:56:35des housses pour vêtements, des petits sacs à cosmétiques,
02:56:38des organisateurs de maquillage, etc.
02:56:40Certains en font même des paniers, des sacs et des tapis de sol.
02:56:43Il est assez facile de fabriquer un tapis fait maison.
02:56:46Il faut couper plusieurs sacs en bandes égales et tisser une longue tresse à partir de ces bandes.
02:56:51Tors ensuite cette tresse en spirale et attache ou colle chaque couche ensemble.
02:56:55Pour éviter que toute cette construction ne se casse,
02:56:57tu peux coudre ton tapis à la machine à coudre, du milieu vers le bord,
02:57:01comme si tu dessinais une étoile.
02:57:03Cette tresse en plastique peut également servir de lacet de secours,
02:57:06de corde ou de ruban fait main pour décorer des cadeaux et des fleurs.
02:57:10La réalisation de films est un autre domaine où les sacs poubelles peuvent être de véritables stars.
02:57:15Si tu filmes en intérieur et que la lumière du soleil est trop vive,
02:57:18tu peux mettre des sacs poubelles blancs sur toutes les fenêtres pour diffuser la lumière
02:57:22ou pour régler la balance des blancs.
02:57:24Les sacs poubelles noirs résistants à la lumière
02:57:26peuvent te servir de rideau d'ombrage pour éliminer complètement la lumière du soleil dans la pièce.
02:57:30N'hésite pas à utiliser un sac blanc pour créer une boule de lumière diffuse.
02:57:34Gonfle le sac comme un ballon et place-le à côté d'une lampe.
02:57:37Mais veille à utiliser une lampe LED pour qu'il ne chauffe pas trop.
02:57:40Tout le monde sait que toucher un sac en plastique avec un fer à repasser chaud
02:57:44est une mauvaise idée car il va fondre.
02:57:46Mais cela nous permet de créer des formes uniques à partir de ce matériau coloré et abordable.
02:57:51Tu veux faire un vase design unique en son genre ?
02:57:53Prends un bol et recouvre-le de papier en le serrant bien.
02:57:56Enroule ensuite les bandes de sac plastique correspondantes autour du bol.
02:57:59Place ensuite une autre couche de papier sur le dessus
02:58:02et repasse doucement sur toute la surface du bol.
02:58:05Voilà ! Le plastique a fondu et tu as un nouveau vase élégant et écologique.
02:58:09Les sacs poubelles peuvent produire des effets sonores très cools.
02:58:12Si tu vis dans un désert où il ne pleut jamais
02:58:14et que tu as besoin de recréer ce son relaxant,
02:58:16utilise un sac en plastique.
02:58:18Il est toujours préférable d'assumer les choses comme un adulte.
02:58:21Mais si cela ne fonctionne pas pour toi,
02:58:23voici une solution rapide.
02:58:25La prochaine fois qu'une personne barbante te téléphone,
02:58:28ne te donne pas la peine de chercher des excuses pour ne pas lui parler maintenant.
02:58:31Prends simplement un sac poubelle et frotte-le contre ton portable en criant
02:58:35« Allô ? Allô ? J'entends rien. Allô ? »
02:58:38Voici le moment des confidences.
02:58:40As-tu déjà utilisé cette astuce ?
