Bright Side

Life is full of surprises and we often witness scenes that are beyond our comprehension. Thanks to the internet, we can share photos depicting the most extraordinary things — a French baguette used as a curler, a subway flooded with pandas, and a cat with the most remarkable muscles. Take a look at these pictures and see if you can figure out what’s going on!

All people have good days and bad days but the people from our compilation have the worst luck ever. Have you ever used shaving cream instead of toothpaste or dropped a phone into a bowl of porridge? The people on this list sure have! These unlucky situations might be hard to believe but things can always get worse.

It’s cool when people around you understand what you are talking about. But sometimes they can take your words too literally and turn them into something absurd. They put a price tag saying “Expensive salad” on a salad, make a clock with clock faces instead of numbers, or attach a car steering wheel to a bike.

Our love for sweets hides in our genetics. Sweets like cupcakes, cheesecakes, chocolate and more cause excitement in the souls of those who have a sweet tooth. Unfortunately, today’s pace of life doesn’t let us cook sweets at home so confectioners offer their help for your money.

This summer, I dared to fulfill the most adventurous journey of my life — my friend and I decided to repeat the alpine trips of various travel bloggers from Instagram. We got a bunch of pieces of paper and markers for hitchhiking, got in touch with the residents of the nearby Alpine cities on the site CouchSurfing (this service helps to get free lodging when abroad and to provide free shelter for travelers in your hometown), packed our backpacks, and rushed to climb mountains. It was my first experience of traveling for free and I confess that it was the last one. Read on to find out why!

Animals make people happier and healthier. This fact has been proven by scientific research. Those ears, paws, and funny muzzles are our main remedy against bad days and bad moods. Just look at the angel-cat, the wedding dog, and an ideal circle made of kittens to see how quickly your mood will improve!

Looking at old photos is incredibly interesting because every single one of them is part of history. The same goes for photos of celebrities — but famous people often look completely different from what we are used to. For example, Stephen King used to play in a rock band and Ozzy Osbourne loved cats.

Do you remember your first baby tooth falling out? For some of us, it was frightening and painful, while others got a nice gift from the Tooth Fairy. Some parents keep their children’s teeth afterward. While keeping your kids’ teeth may sound strange, we’ve found a reason why it may be worth doing.

Asia is the largest and most populated continent on Earth. With a population of approximately 4.46 billion, the continent delivers the promise of diversity in culture, language, cuisine, and more — all of which are quite different from the rest of the world.

Supermodels always give an impression of being perfect women with ideal appearances who are always busy with photo shoots and fashion shows. However, when there are no cameras around, they are regular people who just want to be themselves.

According to statistics, Americans are a very superstitious nation — 42% of people living in the USA believe in ghosts, 26% are afraid of witches and 24% are convinced that reincarnation is real. It’s no doubt that the American way of life significantly differs from other countries and that’s why foreigners often have many questions regarding the lifestyle in the US.

Diagnosed with diabetes type II at the age of just 19, Halle Berry has been on the road to maintaining good health ever since. She learned early on to take her diet and her body seriously and now makes it all look effortless. A talented actress, a wonderful mom, and a great friend, Halle is an inspiration for many. She often shares bits and pieces of her life on her Instagram account, and 3.3 million followers are happy to be a part of it.

How often does it happen that you spill a whole cup of coffee on your keyboard or drop something into the toilet? Such accidents are believed to be caused by Murphy’s law, when anything that can go wrong, will go wrong despite our best efforts.

All of us have been through moments when everything just seemed to go wrong. Sometimes it’s an anti-theft tag which they forgot to remove in the shop, and you notice it only right before your important interview, or when you pour sugar water instead of regular water into your iron. The heroes of this selection definitely experienced some unlucky moments.

The famous phrase, “Dog is a man’s best friend” originates from a quote by Frederick the Great of Prussia. And what our furry friends do best is, of course, provide us with a wide range of emotions!

When celebrities hit the red carpet, they no longer look like ordinary human beings. They look like gods who descended from the skies. However, we are all mortals. It’s just that celebrities know of some practical fashion hacks they use to look that way.

An unhappy relationship is a source of much stress and worry. It can even cause clinical depression. However, it’s quite difficult for some couples to divorce so they keep doing their best in order to save their relationship even if it’s best to leave it in the past. There are a bunch of reasons why people stay in an unhappy marriage. Do you think the fear of looking like a loser to others or being without money can force families to stay together?

Many parents believe that if they don’t control the process of doing homework, their kid will study badly. But the researchers from the University of Texas at Austin and Duke proved the opposite. They have been collecting data about how the involvement of parents in the teaching process affects marks and found out that parents’ assistance is useless during primary school and affects the examination results negatively in secondary and high school.

No need to say how important dads are in their kids’ lives. It was even scientifically proven that fathers who actively engage in raising their kids, help them become smarter and better behaved. Those kids also perform well in school and learn more.

It’s pretty pointless to try to hide that each of us has had a horrible date at least once in our lives. It’s ok if both of you didn’t feel “a thing” going on between you. However, there are times when people find themselves in situations when the only question is, “Really?! Where do you even find people like that?”

According to scientists, the most common causes of insomnia includes unhealthy sleeping habits, certain medical disorders, and psychiatric problems. But it turns out that the food you eat can also affect the quality of your rest because there’s a direct connection between a late-night snack and the condition of your brain and body in general.

There are 7.6 billion people currently living in the world. No wonder that when taking pictures in public we often see strangers in the background. Sometimes these strangers totally rock at photobombing. And celebrities are no exception when it comes to making someone else’s photos hilarious.

Some people avoid preventive medical examinations because of lack of time or a fear of doctors. But you can perform several tests to get necessary information about your health without having to leave your own home. These methods will help you understand whether it’s high time you turned to an expert or if everything is just fine and there’s no need to worry.

Albert Einstein once said, ’’Only 2 things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity and I’m not sure about the former." This is one of Einstein’s opinions that nobody could ever disagree with. Proof of this idea can be found everywhere around us, whether it’s with people we know or with total strangers.

Sometimes it seems like interesting plots only exist in movies and nothing can astonish us as much in our everyday routines. But our lives are capable of taking unexpected turns that can definitely get our attention.

Sometimes the things people do are so weird, they make us want to say, “Somebody, pinch me!” Things like a woman eating a whole grilled chicken on a subway, workers laying asphalt onto water and a person dressed up in road cones make us really wonder about the world. What would you think if you saw such a jaw-dropping scene in a public place?

Remember a time when air travel was only used by rich people? Or when kids used to be excited to play outside? According to a survey, kids the ages of 12 to 15 spent around 12.2 hours a week playing video games in 2017. Welcome to the future! We’re still on the fence about whether this is advanced or harmful for us. Is today’s new normal helping us or making us dependent on technology?

The street is a place that has a unique atmosphere that’s created by the people themselves. The people can be quite different and sometimes their uniqueness makes other people remember them for a long time: superheroes, Megamind, an old lady from a cybersecurity service, the captain of a pirate ship easily overtaking cars, and many other funny characters.

American writer and mythologist Joseph Campbell once said, “The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.” Being an outstanding thinker interested in all aspects of human existence, Cambell kept developing and promoting the idea of “finding one’s true happiness.” But, unfortunately, this philosophy can’t be applied to most modern people because they’re often afraid to follow their passion, to take risks, and to make global changes. This test will help you learn more about your true wishes and fears and get you one step closer to finding true happiness.

A medical emergency can occur at anytime, anywhere, so being prepared is important. Having a first-aid kit at home is essential in dealing with emergencies. Even though ready-made first-aid kits are available at the store, creating your own is not only easy but you can customize it according to the specific needs of your family members.

Some people love their job, others... love their job too, but in a more interesting way. Sometimes people might not be in the right place, but their creative energy breaks through anyway.

Many common exercises exist because they have been passed to you from someone who you think is an enlightened body expert. But if you dream of having the perfect masculine body, you should avoid them as these are mostly useless and can even cause bad injuries.

The human body is an amazing thing. But apart from the tremendous opportunities it gives us, it also makes us vulnerable. Indeed, unlike Achilles, the body of an ordinary person has more than just one sensitive point...

Funny fact: the word misspell is one of the 100 most misspelled words in English. It seems that people get away with some pretty serious errors and if you look around carefully, you’ll see them too.

“Remember that lettuce doesn’t grow on a spruce and it also doesn’t rhyme with it.” The English language can be tricky. According to this study, the English language has 500,000 words that are not spelled the way they are pronounced.

“All things considered, do you think the world is getting better or worse?” This is the question YouGov asked 18,235 people in a survey across several countries. According to their results, only 6% in the US, 4% in Great Britain, and 3% in France think the world is getting better. Some of modern artists support this point of view and draw ironic illustrations about today’s realities.

John Lennon once said, ’’It’s weird not to be weird.’’ Alain de Botton expressed his opinion, ’’There’s a whole category of people who miss out by not allowing themselves to be weird enough." Being weird means that your actions will raise questions and many of those around you will have to try to make sense of whatever it is you’re doing.

The history of tattoos is as long as the history of humanity. Today, this kind of art is at the peak of its popularity. Many people have tattoos: some have large and detailed ones while others opt for tiny tattoos. We think that Korean tattoo artists are masters of small works and you’ll be able to see how incredibly feminine and elegant their tattoos are as you scroll through these photos.

Sometimes you might feel lazy and tired. Fitness experts state that nowadays being active has become super-easy. But some people have just broken the record for lasting the longest in energy-saving mode. Don’t mention the gym to people like this, they won’t even put any effort into the easiest everyday duties.

When you live in the same place for a long time and have gotten used to everything around you, the world can seem very simple and small, and you can’t even imagine that somewhere people admire round rainbows or swim through square waves! Who knows, maybe something amazing happens near where you live and you don’t even know about it yet!

Have you always believed that anxiety is an ailment or a disorder? Well, let us enlighten you a bit. It’s no fun for the person going through anxiety but looking at it from a negative stance is also not correct. When a person is engulfed by this disorder, they can also unknowingly develop some superpowers and these can help them during many of life’s situations.

Getting a newborn to sleep is one of the main challenges parents face when bringing their bundle of joy home from the hospital. That’s why the market is so saturated with baby orthopedic mattresses, cocoon beds, vibrating swings, and more. All these items cost a lot of money and are not always guaranteed to soothe your little one. Well, what if there was an easier way?

One of the most extraordinary cases of animals attacking cars featured a 200 kg fur seal who crawled on a car bonnet in an Australian neighborhood. Jaw-dropping pics of the seal made headlines and went viral since it’s unlikely to see this kind of animal in urban areas. In most cases, our cars are attacked by rats and other rodents, stray cats may accidentally get into the engine compartments when it’s cold outside, and our beloved pets can also leave traces on car seats. Have a look at several hacks that prove to be effective at stopping animals from ruining our cars.

Nature inspires us with its beauty, but it also hides a lot of secrets. Flowers or animals that look sweet at first glance can be really deadly, while picturesque natural events can bring irreparable harm. After experiencing this it becomes clear why humanity hides behind the walls of crowded cities.

For the majority of people all over the world, buses, taxis, trains, and cars are the usual means of transportation. But, there are some people who don’t agree with normal, boring transport and use their imagination for a better solution.

Most women of the world worry about their appearance and always want to look perfect. The beauty industry is evolving rapidly but most products are expensive and, most of the time, cosmetic procedures turn out to cost an arm and a leg. The good news is that we can always replace them with budget lifehacks that are often more effective than pricey cosmetic items and salon procedures.

Some people say exercise can do wonders to improve a bad day. Others believe that having a good day or a bad one depends mostly on your attitude. Those who have survived the worst of days will most likely agree that it takes a bit of both to recover from a tough one. However, sometimes, there are just some situations where it seems that almost nothing can help!

Some people follow rules, some break them, some create their own. Sometimes doing things as they should be done doesn’t mean solving the problem logically. We all know the feeling of satisfaction after doing something we want to do, as opposed to something we’re supposed to do. Sometimes it’s good to ignore public opinion and just follow your heart.

As a representative of an aristocratic family, Diana Spencer was perfect at being a princess. She managed to quickly overshadow other members of the royal family with her actions and behavior. Thanks to her, the image of a princess stopped being perceived as something haughty and unearthly. She has shown people that she is not a star from another galaxy, but an ordinary person just like us.

Our body consists of many jigsaw puzzle pieces — different systems and subsystems that protect us, enable certain abilities, and help us survive life-threatening situations. These are the most unique, elaborate, and incredible inventions that nature has ever created. Try to look at these ordinary things from an unusual angle to understand what we’re talking about.
