It’s been discussed many times that men and women seem to come from different planets. Mothers and fathers prove this theory once again in their reactions to similar child rearing situations. It’s enough to just look at all these funny stories about boyfriends, cats, cleaning, shopping, and even Happy Meal toys to see that this speculation is spot on.

There are so many sayings that tell you to think first and then act. But many people prefer to ignore this rule and they usually end up with various failures. The heroes of this article are united by one single thing — they don’t like to read manuals and think for too long before doing something. That’s why everything they do, from baking a cake to making a bet, leads to a tremendous but still funny failure.

Scientists say that history goes in circles. So the events we observe now, have already appeared in the past and are likely to come up in the future. This theory is known as historical recurrence.

Years ago, Fort Worth police officer Damon Cole decided to put a Superman logo onto his bulletproof vest, in order to build relationships with the children he encountered during his service. He used to show them the logo and ask them to keep it a secret. Today, when Cole is not working, he uses his spare time to help sick kids and raise their spirits.

Just because you’re being lazy, doesn’t mean you can’t do the job at hand — it just means you will find the fastest way to do it. We all know the struggle of taking out the trash in time or having to switch off the light when you’re already cozy in bed. But there’s still a category of people who go beyond all the known levels of laziness.

When we listen to our favorite music, our brain releases dopamine, making us happy and even giving us chills. So most of us consider ourselves music lovers. But how many of us are real music experts?

Making up your mind to start exercising regularly is always a big decision and lack of time is not the only reason. Recent studies have shown that 75% of women interviewed choose to not exercise for fear of being judged by others. It’s not only about extra weight — many women get embarrassed when sweating or looking awkward when using the sporting equipment and some even feel guilty for spending time on themselves. If you are one of those women, take a look at these easy hacks that will build your confidence.

The world around us is amazing and every now and then we all bump into something so unusual that it’s hard to believe our own eyes. It could be a natural phenomenon, a piece of modern technology, or just a coincidence. Paraphrasing the well-known quote from Albert Einstein “The more I see, the more I realize how much I haven’t seen.”

We invent extraordinary techniques to create art, trying to be as creative as possible. According to research, people with high levels of creativity are more likely to suffer from bipolar disorder, depression or anxiety because they feel alone with their ideas. Some artists may seem crazy with their ideas because they are often ready to sacrifice their health and poison themselves with paint just to create a new masterpiece. In the modern world, you can find different ways to express yourself, but how these artists do it is truly unique.

The first color photograph was taken by James Maxwell in 1861. Much has changed since then. Today, we have better technology, photo equipment, and, of course, Photoshop. But some places on Earth are still much more beautiful and peculiar than the works of even the best camera masters. Look at the moments that people managed to capture proof of the fact that the glory of our world doesn’t require any filters or retouching.

There are lots of events in our lives that make us stop and feel the moment. As a rule, we usually remember those situations that puzzle and shock us. But thanks to our sense of humor, we don’t lose our minds.

Ukrainian artist Alla Mingaleva publishes in her Instagram collages, which depict the heroes of classical art in the modern world. The way she juxtaposes the historical figure in a modern environment makes it seem like they’re just ordinary people getting a drink in a bar, working in their office, walking down the street, etc. She says that her favorite part of this project is to place all these characters into an office environment.

Millions of people worldwide suffer from the fear of flying, otherwise known as aerophobia. Many of them report feeling anxious and dizzy before a flight but their biggest fear is that the plane will crash.

Fashion is an unpredictable thing that can change very quickly. If you follow it blindly, you never know where it will lead you. The people in this compilation tried to be trendy at all costs but when choosing their clothes, they didn’t always use common sense. That’s why they got pretty strange results: some of them are obvious fails and some are just hilarious. Take a look at them!

When it comes to advertising, it can make or break you. That’s why it’s so important for restaurants, bars, and cafes to be creative in order to catch the attention of their potential customers. Before our taste buds get the chance to make a decision, we actually “eat with our eyes” first, in the words of Healthy Professor. Clever signboards in front of food and dining establishments are fun for those who make them, those who see them, and those who see photos of them online.

In 2016, almost 62% of the world population owned mobile phones. Next year, this number will increase to almost 5 billion people.

Most people are accustomed to using only certain functions on their phones and end up ignoring the vast possibilities that they have right at their fingertips. For example, did you know that you can take a selfie using your earphones?

There are at about 50 million people in the US that develop acne at any given time and it is the most common skin condition in the world.

The inner ear, just like the outer ear, is a very common area where people can develop pimples.

Tattoos are probably one of the most ancient ways of self-expression. The image stays on a person’s skin forever, which is why many people choose their tattoos very carefully. The people in this collection, however, did no such thing. Bright Side has picked some awful examples of artistic experiments that are so bad, you don’t know whether to cry or laugh at them.

We hardly ever notice how the things we used to love and own (VCR’s, CDs, flip phones, for example) slowly disappear and become replaced with more convenient devices.

Would your employer be able to clone you if necessary? Read on to find out.

There are things and creatures we’ve gotten used to seeing over time like turtles, tires, bowling balls, and even cacti.

According to science, all women have some superpowers that are not present in men: they can distinguish different shades of color, they have a stronger immune system, and they’re more empathic and intuitive than men are.

Is there anything better than waking up early in the morning because your 3-year-old is poking you in the eye and trying to turn you into a pirate?

Children — they’re the reason you notice more and more gray hairs on your head and why you’ve had more sleepless nights than you could ever count. But they’re also the reason you strive to become a better and healthier person every single day.
