Have you ever been inside a Japanese Shinto shrine? These are places of worship where people come to pay their respects and ask for good fortune for themselves. There are over 100,000 shrines in all of Japan, and each one of them stands out. There are many natural elements inside the shrine – rocks, flowers, and trees since a shrine is a tribute to nature. But look, there’s also something unusual – around a large tree, there’s a rope with zig-zag folded papers. Let s find out more about it. #brightside Credit: Byodoin calligrapher: By Chris Gladis - https://flic.kr/p/eyV27, CC BY 2.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=824666 Japanese Garden: By Adonelson, CC BY-SA 3.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=4920472 CC BY-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0: By Ocdp: Tsurugaoka Hachiman: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=104674227 Goryou jinnja: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=104674201 Cherry blossoms: By TORII Kiyonaga, CC BY 2.5 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.5, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=89779457 Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV Subscribe to Bright Side: https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brightside Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightside.official TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.official?lang=en Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me

Fire tornadoes, tiny algae that destroy sea mammals, birds, and turtles as well as creatures that feed on them, and bubbles that underwater volcanoes produce even while they’re sleeping are some of the scariest natural phenomena are happening somewhere right now. It seems that modern science has an explanation for everything that happens around us. But as it turns out, nature has a lot of other tricks up its sleeve. For example, when frozen methane in the Siberian permafrost melts, it transforms into gas and boom – there’s eventually so much of it the ground explodes! It leaves behind huge craters, changing the eco-system of tundra. And no one knows when it’s going to pass the “point of no return.” So, let s take a look at the most amazing and scary natural phenomena and anomalies. Some of then still can’t be explained by scientists. #brightside TIMESTAMPS: Fire whirl 0:01 Waterspout 0:27 Tornado 0:53 Avalanche 1:25 Lightning 1:47 Mudslide 2:15 Red sea 2:41 Landslide 3:08 Sinkholes 3:37 Underwater volcanoes 4:01 Ice tsunamis 4:26 “Milky sea” 4:46 Foamy storms 5:13 Wildfire 5:38 Earthquakes 6:34 Volcanic lightning 6:57 Murmuration 7:22 Exploding under-ice methane gas 7:49 Bright red lake 8:10 Colorful clouds 8:40 Dust storms 9:02 Red rain 9:27 Penitentes 9:51 Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brightside/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightgram/ 5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me/

Push-ups are not just a simple but effective exercise when it comes to fighting body fat. They are great for maintaining overall physical fitness. But when we hear the word “push-up”, we usually think of the standard pushup that everybody does. While it tones your shoulders, chest, abs, back, and even glutes, there are other kinds of pushups that focus on different muscles. But don’t do this work out every day, or else you’ll end up with a big chest, toned triceps and shoulders, but scrawny little legs! It’s important to burn some fat before toning your body and get your metabolism running. So in your first week, add more cardio to your routine. Do the easy pushups at first. When you’re ready to move on, increase the reps before doing the advanced exercises. As the weeks progress, add more body-weight exercises and alternate them. And always do some stretches to the muscles you just worked out to release the tension. Good luck! #brightside TIMESTAMPS: Arm Circles 0:06 The Towel Chest Press 0:32 Wall Push-Ups 1:00 The Diamond Wall Push-Up 1:43 The One-Arm Wall Push-Up 2:32 The Knee Push-up 3:29 The Incline Push-up 4:16 Standard Push-Ups 5:14 Overhead Triceps Stretch 6:34 The Doorway Chest Stretch 6:55 Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brightside/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightgram/ 5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me/

Could humans survive underground? Not so long ago, astronomers discovered a planet that s about 33 light-years away from Earth. This makes it our next-door neighbor. The space body is only a planet candidate because astronomers haven t measured its mass yet. But they have high hopes. Just 1.7 million miles away from its star, it completes its orbit in a day and a half. It s a scorching, deserted world with the temperatures at the surface rising up to 1,000˚F. Even more astounding, the entire planet is likely to be covered in magma! So, the question is, "What if Earth once went through some catastrophic event, and it left our planet in the same state: boiling hot, with the surface covered by a thick layer of lava? Would people manage to adapt to such conditions and move to live underground?" It sounds unbelievable, but experts are sure that with time, humans would turn into healthy and rather happy mole people! Of course, life would be very different than today... #brightside TIMESTAMPS: Underground tunnels and psychological difficulties 1:28 What people would look like 2:29 Living without sunlight 3:38 What about electricity? 5:44 The Hollow Earth theory 7:42 What the magnetic field does 8:45 Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brightside/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightgram/ 5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me/

When cars first appeared, their security measures were almost non-existent. Now we’ve got key fobs. We use them to lock and unlock our car. But did you know some interesting facts related to key fobs that make modern cars really easy to use? Yep, there re some hidden features not many people know about! For example, smart keys can work as proximity detectors. If the fob is within 18 inches of the mechanism, your car will recognize the key and unlock. But even though key fobs have made our lives easier, there are some things you should keep an eye on. People who take other people s cars use smart devices. These can copy or amplify key fob signals. Once you walk away they’re able to open and take your car. Your key fob doesn’t have an ON or OFF button. But you can protect it at home! #brightside TIMESTAMPS: Parking in tight places 0:16 You’ve got a hidey hole for a key 1:00 Fold in your side mirrors 1:35 Starting your engine 2:18 Lower your windows 2:50 Unlock your trunk 3:16 It’ll keep you safe 3:59 Adjust your seat 4:27 Things you should keep an eye on 4:55 Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brightside/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightgram/ 5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me/

You might always not have an emergency kit with you, but there’s one thing you, me, and probably most other people on this planet will not leave the house without. That’s right, our phones! Yeah, you might be addicted to your phone, but it could end up saving your life in an emergency! You can call 911 in North America or 112 in Europe even if the phone is blocked, deactivated, or it has no sim card inside! But let’s go a little more extreme. Imagine your phone has run out of power. If you can’t use it as intended, then just take it apart! A smartphone is full of survival treasures: the screen, wires, battery, chips. All of them will make your life much easier if you’re alone in the wilderness with nothing but a dead phone in your hand. TIMESTAMPS: Pocket-sized storage 2:05 A fire-starter 2:27 Reflecting an SOS signal 3:07 Navigation 4:13 A weapon or sharp tool 5:07 Fishing hooks 5:40 First-Aid 6:06 ❗️ Apps that can keep that from happening ❗️ 7:03 #survivaltips #wildness #brightside SUMMARY: - You can use your phone or the case as a storage box for some small items. It can be a razor blade, a needle, a fishing line, or a short survival instruction in a plastic bag. - Almost any battery, including the one in your smartphone, can be used to start a fire. Put one end of the wire on the positively charged node of the battery and the other on the negative one. It’ll immediately glow red-hot, so your time is limited! - Use the screen to reflect sun- or moonlight. Sun reflections can be seen over long distances, just like a flashlight! - Even the oldest cellphone models have a magnet in them and a piece of wire that can serve as a needle for the compass. You’ll need about ½ to 1 inch of a metallic wire. - Phones are full of hard metal parts that can be sharpened on a rock and used as a weapon or knife. And a sharp tool like that can be a key to surviving in the wild. - If you don’t think you’re fast enough to “spear” your seafood dinner, then use some of those small sharp pointy parts in your phone as “hooks” for fishing. - If you’ve got a bad cut on your arm or leg, you can use the cable to your ear- or headphones as a tourniquet to stop the bleeding. - Family Locator and similar apps link the phones of your family members into one network. It’ll show your location on a map so that your loved ones know where you are and how to find you. - Emergency apps like SOS+ let you push an alarm button on your phone so that all the people in your emergency contact list will know that something has happened to you. - There’s an app called SaveMePro that lets you call 911 without having to actually dial the number! - If you’re heading to the mountains, be sure to download the Uepaa! The app that lets your smartphone work as a transmitter that sends a signal for up to 1,500 ft. - Facebook Safety Check works automatically if you have the Facebook app on your phone. The app determines if you’re in a disaster zone and sends you a special request.

Your driving lessons are finally done. Your driver’s license is now in your hands, and you’re ready to set off into the sunset with your car. But there’s a lot of responsibility when it comes to driving, and even though it might not feel this way at first – knowing how to handle certain situations can be a true lifesaver. Even with the slightest experience you get as a new driver, you might already feel like you know everything about the road. But there are a lot of things that you need to experience first-hand in order to know what you need to do. Here re some great examples to help you prepare. TIMESTAMPS: Driving in bad weather 2:01 Driving at Nighttime 5:58 Running off the road 7:12 Let’s talk about Urban Driving 7:58 Don’t forget the Interstate Driving 8:46 #drivingtips #cars #brightside SUMMARY: - When it’s raining, make sure your headlights are on, even in the daytime. That’ll help you be more visible to oncoming vehicles, and it’ll also help you see clearer. - Always wear sunglasses, and keep your visor down when it’s needed. But that’s not enough: make sure you go slower in these conditions to give yourself enough time to react when you need to. - Foggy spells can be truly unexpected, especially during the Fall, when patches of fogginess appear around the roads in the morning. In this situation, always keep your headlights on and be alert. - First things first, even when you’re confident with your driving, make sure you drive around at night a few times to familiarize yourself with it. - One thing you should keep in mind is to dim your lights when you come across an oncoming car. It’s unbelievably easy to be blinded by someone’s high beams and go off the road. - If car accidentally runs off the road, the first thing you need to do is get your foot off the gas and try to guide the car towards the pavement. - When you’re driving in an urban area, be aware the whole time. Don’t let yourself lose attention at any point. - Driving on the interstate teaches you what driving in heavy traffic conditions really feels like. And one thing that you’ll learn from that is how to merge with the rest of the traffic, how to change lanes correctly, and how to take an exit. - You should learn to look over your shoulder, as well, and make sure that there are no other vehicles in your “blind Spot”.

When Marine Second Lieutenant Walter Osipoff was boarding a plane on May 15, 1941, he didn t know yet that the flight would almost become his very last. Shortly after the takeoff, an accident that no one could have predicted left the man dangling high in the air, tangled in his parachute and hanging from the aircraft s tail in midflight. It was another regular sunny morning in California, and everything was calm at the North Island Naval airbase. There were no warning signs to the drama that was about to unfold in just a couple of hours. His parachute s ripcord got tangled with the automatic-release cord of the cargo cylinder, and the next thing he knew - his parachute was deploying inside the plane!

It meant that Lowrey and McCants had to act fast and precisely. - Even though Lowrey was doing his best to keep the plane in the necessary position, they were desperately running out of time. - Miraculously, both planes were still flying, and Osipoff was still lying horizontally on top of the fuselage. Besides, during the collision, the biplane s propeller cut through the shroud lines, and the planes were free to land! - Osipoff, who was taken to the hospital after enduring his nightmarish 33-minute flight, made a complete recovery. - After his release 6 months later, he returned to parachute jumping and got promoted to First Lieutenant. - As for Lowrey and McCants, both men got the Distinguished Flying Cross for extraordinary heroism.

Do you notice every little detail about your surroundings right away? If yes, then you didn t miss the fact that all planes have a green light on the end of one wing, and a red one on the other. Why do they have different colors? Actually, these high-intensity red and green lights, together with a white light located on the tail, are the plane s navigation lights. The red light is always on the left wingtip, and the green one is always on the right. These navigation lights are on at all times. Apart from navigation lights, planes have red rotating beacon lights installed on the upper and lower fuselage. Let s find out what they are for!

This lets them know there s a plane passing from right to left. Green and white means the plane is flying from left to right. - When the red blinking light is on, it s a warning for the ground crew and other planes that the engines are about to start, and it s dangerous to come near. - And just like a car, a plane has headlights that help the pilot see the runway during landing and take off. - Seeing the hypnotizing swirl on jet engines prompts the ground staff to stay away. - The outer pane bears the most pressure, and the hole in the middle one helps regulate the pressure difference to make sure passengers don t experience a lack of oxygen. - There’s a magic button near the hinge under the armrest closest to the aisle that will make your trip instantly much more comfortable. After pressing it, you can freely move that armrest up, making it parallel to the back of your seat. - When a plane takes off or lands at night or dusk, the cabin crew wants your eyes to get adjusted to the darkness. Usually, it takes up to 30 minutes to fully adjust to a dark setting. - Can a plane door open mid-flight? If, for some reason, this question worries you when your plane is about to take off, then let me put your fears to rest – it’s impossible. - Statistics say that lightning still hits every commercial plane once a year. But in most cases, this leaves a plane with only minor damage, like a scorch mark on its surface. - Actually, all commercial airplanes are designed with seats and windows perfectly aligned. But when a specific airline buys a plane, it’s up to them to decide how many seats it’ll have. - Most airlines insist that there is no safest seat. But the statistics of airplane crashes supports the idea that it’s at the back. - Many airliners have secret, windowless bedrooms for the cabin crew that include from 6 to 10 bunks.

So what would life be like without metals? You know, copper, silver, lead, iron, and whatnot. What if they all just disappeared overnight? As if some has meddled with our metal. “So, no more spoons and coins? Big deal!” you say. Not so fast! You can go ahead and say goodbye to that phone of yours. And the tablet, TV, computer, all the blinky fun stuff. They’re not just made of plastic and a glass screen. Metals are most often used as conductors of electric current. Without them, all our flashy toys are useless. Plus, they have metal parts inside them. And you know what all that means? All modern ways of communication are no longer...

This metal-free world has also lost all modern means of transportation! - Metal is used to conduct electric currents. No artificial light source will work without metal. - But electricity isn’t just about lights and sockets. You won’t have running water – the main station uses electricity! - Musicians won’t have any instruments! Guitars might be made from wood, but those strings are usually steel. - From the gym to the hospital, this place also looks quite different! Without metals, it won’t be possible to carry out an operation – even X-rays won’t be possible! - Hope you have something valuable to trade with the doctor for taking care of you! Of course, there are no more metal coins – that’s obvious. - Besides the steel frame keeping the whole thing standing, a lot of the construction materials like concrete and cement have metals in them too! So, I guess we get to live in straw huts! - About 3% of your total body weight is just metals. - A person needs calcium for strong bones and teeth. So without it, our skeleton would become fragile like glass. - Zinc keeps the immune system in working order. That’s what helps your body fight off sicknesses and heal cuts and wounds! - You also have enough iron in you to make a small nail. Iron helps saturate the body s cells with oxygen. - Speaking of oxygen, magnesium plays a similar role in plants as iron does with moving oxygen in animals – it’s essential for photosynthesis. - Without the core, Earth loses its magnetic field. And we need that protective magnetic bubble because it keeps the ozone layer in place! - For that matter, all the Earth’s layers are made up of different metals. The mantle has a bunch of iron, magnesium, and aluminum. - The crust is mostly oxygen, but it also has aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, and magnesium.

Hey, no matter what – you should never lose hope. There are plenty of stories that prove this. Like the ones about young women who survived falls from incredible heights during plane crashes. Stories showing that the human spirit and willpower are invincible. Stories proving that miracles are real. Amazing survival stories.

According to experts, rapid fatigue and pain in muscles and joints is 75% caused by the wrong posture at the computer and only 25% by the failure to respect the balance between work and rest. Bad habits of poor posture are a common cause for lower and upper back pain. Let’s search how you can make sitting before the PC easier on the body. Don’t worry, mastering a good posture doesn’t have to take a lot of time. In fact, it’s often just about being aware of your posture and making sure you don’t slouch in a chair or hunch your back when looking at your phone. That would be easier to do if you buy a special office or gaming armchair. They have anatomical shape, and they can be adjusted to fit your frame perfectly. If you don’t feel like buying an expensive chair, at least get some lower back support. It can be a seat cushion or a chair back attachment that will hold your back in a natural position, so you won’t get up sore. Your eyes will get sore much less often if there’s no glare on the screen. Turn your monitor away from all sources of light, especially the sun. So, guys, if you sit on your laptop all day long, here are some really useful tips that can help you feel better. #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brightside/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightgram/ 5-Minute Crafts Youtube: https://www.goo.gl/8JVmuC Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me/

Although commonly referred to as the red velvet ant (and in some cases cow killer ant), this name is misleading because velvet ants are actually wasps. Female cow killer ants are typically seen running somewhat erratically on the ground, especially on bare or sandy areas in the warm summer months. These pests will occasionally enter structures for insect prey. Male velvet ants are often found on flowers, although some species are nocturnal. Female velvet ants have a very potent sting that has earned them the nickname "cow-killer." Male red velvet ants lack a stinger but have wings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-O2a7UpBn8 We know how to lift your mood!
