Bright Side

A famous saying states that sometimes what you are looking for shows up only when you stop looking. We have reason to believe that the statement also relates to the times when you don’t even think to look for something but stumble upon a very unexpected item hidden in the labyrinth of the universe... or in your remote control. Bright Side found people who discovered unexpected things in the most random places. Which one of these would you want to find one day?

Technology is developing rapidly nowadays, and if we look at the prototypes or the versions of some everyday objects available 100 years ago, we will hardly believe our eyes. These originals may look unsophisticated, funny or awkward, but they paved the way for future technologies to come. We at Bright Side collected some rare pictures of how many common products looked in the past and invite you to compare them with their existing counterparts.

Every day our minds process tons of information, our bodies perform thousands of actions. Living in this busy world makes it very easy to miss some messages that your body sends you. And the consequences of not communicating and responding to these signals can be drastic. Bright Side made a list of signs which indicate that your kidneys are not working properly. How many of these signals have your body been sending to you?

Since the invention of the wheel, we have seen many creations that changed the face of the world. Leaving aside the bigger ones like televisions, airplanes, or even the internet, there were many small inventions that have become part of our daily lives. Bright Side came across some such inventions and many others which are still in the imagination process. Look how convenient life is going to be in the coming years!

Kids grow up so fast, and who can blame their parents for trying to protect them from the difficulties of the outside world? Well, these 15 fathers went the extra mile to be sure that their precious little princesses were safe and sound. We at Bright Side are happy to show you those #parentinggoals.

Dressing up like a movie or cartoon character is really enjoyable, and this kind of entertainment is very popular nowadays. However, there are 2 kinds of people interested in cosplays: the ones who do a great job trying to copy someone and the ones who totally fail and make the whole thing quite funny. We at Bright Side put together some hilarious photographs of cosplays that were made by people with an excellent sense of humor.

Being in and out of the friend zone is one of the hottest themes nowadays. People have different opinions on its existence, and it’s one of the most debated topics out there. On the other hand, some argue that it’s just a state of mind. Anyway, here at Bright Side we’ve put together some epic people and their struggle with the friend zone.

In world history, everything once happened for the first time. We’re not just talking about inventing the computer but about the first selfie, the first Rockefeller Center Christmas tree, and the first rights to drive a motorcycle for a woman. Someday our great-grandchildren will look at photos of the hadron collider or the first 3D printer and wonder how they were invented so long ago! In the last point, you’ll see the pearl of the collection!Bright Side collected 17 photos of famous firsts in history.

It’s an undeniable truth that social media gives you the opportunity to showcase how awesome your life is and to maybe become popular overnight, but sometimes it can play a trick or two and turn your awesomeness into hilariousness, especially if you try to exaggerate your reality. Bright Side found people who got caught lying on social media and made the world unite in laughter. Let’s see how many of these you wouldn’t notice if you saw them in your social media feed.

A dog is not just a friend of man. A dog is also a constant source of inspiration and a model for funny pictures. Just look at them — it’s impossible to keep a serious expression on your face!Bright Side collected 34 photos that all dog owners will appreciate.

Sometimes we wonder if designers don’t use their sense of beauty or if they just like going crazy. Here at Bright Side we are left with only one question after checking out these designs: “Why?!”

Christmas and New Year is a time of real magic, bright costumes, outstanding gifts and bewitching decorations. It’s the time when we can free our fantasy and express ourselves the way we want with the help of hairdos, decorating Christmas trees, and some little kind deeds that we didn’t find time for during the year. Bright Side collected 20 photos of people that reminded us how these Christmas holidays should look and brought us into a New Year mood. Finally!

Will you accept the challenges and check your skills? The right answers are at the very end of the article.

There is a type of man who spends a night with a woman and never calls back, and they have their own tricks and rituals that always work.

To help you avoid becoming a victim of such men, we at Bright Side have collected the top warning signs that a man doesn’t want a serious relationship. However, we hope that the guy you met is not one of them.

However, we at Bright Side decided to go further and find out what this show is all about, what stays behind the curtains and what happens in the models’ dressing rooms.

Almost everyone can agree that cooking is an artform. This is why it’s important to rely not only on our cooking talent, but on a set of rules, as well.

One of the first things you usually notice about someone is how they’re dressed. Clothes help define a person’s personality and everyone has their our own style preferences.

Some of them even run kids’ accounts on Instagram. We were a bit luckier: parents didn’t take many photos, but those existing pics are just incredible and our parents keep them in a wardrobe or hang them on the walls. Bright Side gathered photos of Internet users who blush a bit when they see shots of themselves.
