00:00Sometimes, when you type big text on your phone, it's pretty hard to get the cursor where it needs to
00:05be.
00:05You can control this little thing using your space bar.
00:08Simply hard-press the space bar and now you can move the cursor wherever it needs to go.
00:13Voila!
00:16You can get bite-sized pineapple pieces without using a knife.
00:19At least that's what this viral TikTok tip is promising.
00:23First of all, twist off the top of the pineapple, that part which has green leaves.
00:28It's pretty easy. Just grab it and make several twists.
00:32Then pick the pineapple up and pound it down on the kitchen table.
00:36Repeat the pounding for about five times to make sure you did it sufficiently.
00:41Now you're going to need some arm strength.
00:43Roll the pineapple back and forth while pressing down on it.
00:46The weight is supposed to help separate the core from the fruit.
00:50But beware if your pineapple is very ripe, it might start to release juice.
00:55Now, gently hold the pineapple skin, pull out one of its scales and enjoy your snack.
01:01If you've done everything right, you're supposed to be able to pull out a bite-sized piece that will separate
01:06from the core quickly.
01:09Here's another game-changing tip for your kitchen.
01:11Get a habit of storing the cling wrap in the freezer.
01:14When the wrap is cold, it's less sticky and much easier to unroll and use.
01:20You're welcome.
01:23We usually place these non-slit bathtub mats on the bathtub's surface to prevent falls.
01:28But when you're not using the bathroom, you can stick or hang them on the wall.
01:33This way, the mat will get dry way faster and you'll prevent the accumulation of soap and dirt leftovers on
01:39the bottom of the bathtub or shower.
01:42Gather your shower curtain into a single bundle and tie it into a big knot.
01:47This way, it won't create obstacles when trying to clean the bathtub.
01:53Remember those mysterious stripes on bathroom towels?
01:56It's not just a decoration.
01:58It's a stabilizer strip to help the towel last longer.
02:02Stripes help keep the towels fluffy by limiting the shrinkage every time you wash them.
02:07Therefore, the towel retains its shape, size, and flexibility over time.
02:13They're also handy when you need to dry and clean a narrow and hard-to-reach place where the thick
02:18part doesn't work because it's too fluffy.
02:21For example, the space between your toes or behind your ears.
02:26Also, the stripes help to sort towels by type.
02:30Otherwise, all the towels of the same color and texture would look alike.
02:34You can see the stripes when you fold the towels properly, so it's easier to differentiate.
02:39This way, you can keep all the towels together in a linen closet.
02:43Your family members will never confuse their own towels with someone else's.
02:49Are you sure you know how to use this flat paper box with matches?
02:53You just have to take a match and slide it across the striking surface, right?
02:58Turns out, there's another way.
03:00Put the matchstick head on the striking surface, close the box, and pinch it.
03:05Then, pull the match out with one quick and confident movement, and it should light up.
03:12By the way, when you light up a matchstick or a candle in a dark room, the flames don't have
03:17shadows.
03:18Did you know that?
03:21The circle on the plastic jug of milk can tell you if the milk is good or bad.
03:25So when the circle is inside, take this as a good sign.
03:29And when it pops out, it means that the milk is expired.
03:34Also, the circle helps to keep the jug from blowing up if you drop it.
03:37When it hits the ground or any other surface, the ring will expand to keep the milk inside the plastic.
03:43And if you leave milk in the fridge for too long, it will develop gases.
03:47In this case, the circle will prevent the jug from popping inside the fridge.
03:52When it comes to plastic bags with frozen food, we usually cut off a strip from the top to open
03:58the package.
03:58But you don't have to throw the strip in the trash right away.
04:01You can tie the bag with the remaining food and put it back in the freezer.
04:07Let's say you're driving a car through the night.
04:09Suddenly, some annoying driver behind you with the brights on gets closer and spoils the party.
04:15You can flip this little tab on your rearview mirror and make the bright lights fade away.
04:19In fact, this little mirror that looks flat is a so-called prismatic wedge.
04:25What looks flat is an angled mirror with a wedge of glass.
04:29When you switch the mirror to dim mode, you change the angle of the mirror so it reflects more light.
04:36Here's a cool safety tip when you have to park your car at some risky spot at night.
04:40Pull out the driver's seatbelt, put it through the door handle, and fasten the belt as usual.
04:45This way, you'll ensure that nobody can get in during the night.
04:49Even if they succeed in getting the door unlocked, they still won't be able to come in.
04:55If your car got frozen on a cold winter night and the glass is covered with ice, you can clean
05:00it using the following tip.
05:02You don't need any special cleaning brush.
05:04Just fill a big, sealable plastic bag with hot water and wipe the bag over the car to defrost the
05:10ice.
05:11Now, wipe off the remaining water with a rag and you're ready to hit the road.
05:17Everyone knows how to hang a sweater, right?
05:20Well, there's a better way that helps avoid the shoulder pimples that arise when the hanger doesn't fit your clothes
05:25perfectly.
05:26Put your sweater flat on your bed and fold it in half, like this.
05:30Then, place the hanger on the sweater on a diagonal, like this.
05:34Remember that the hanger hook should be under the arm.
05:37Now, grab the arms and fold them across the hanger.
05:41And then, hold the body of the sweater and fold it across in the same manner.
05:46Congratulations! Now you know the perfect way to hang your sweater.
05:51If you're out of staples, you can just turn your stapler over and there's a secret little compartment where you
05:56can put a whole row of extra staples.
05:58And now you can just conveniently put it into your stapler and go on with your work.
06:05There's a big chance that your oven door is removable.
06:09This way, you can clean it between the glass.
06:11Of course, the mechanism may differ depending on the model.
06:14So, first of all, check the lower corners of the door and you'll probably find two screws that will help
06:19you lift the door up and then put it back where it belongs.
06:24Here's a hilarious tip for peeling boiled chicken eggs.
06:28Remove some shells from the top of the egg, about the size of a small coin.
06:33Then, break up the bottom of the egg.
06:35And now, blow into the top hole as if you're blowing a balloon.
06:40The peeled egg should pop out of the bottom.
06:43Just make sure the eggs are hard-boiled.
06:47If you have a basic electric screwdriver, you can order special brush heads.
06:51Your cleaning routine will never be the same again.
06:54This device will help you quickly and easily clean the dirtiest tiles and gaps between them.
07:00Just spray some bath cleaner and let your screwdriver brush remove all the impurities.
07:05Although this simple tip is very satisfying, some say that the sound evokes memories of dentists and ultrasonic dental cleaning.
07:15There's nothing better than a nice piece of buttered toast for breakfast, if we're not counting hot fudge sundaes.
07:21But if you find it harder to spread out cold butter over your toast, here's an idea.
07:26Use a cheese grater.
07:28Figure out the amount you need and grate the product.
07:31The process will also soften the butter, making it easier to spread, and you won't have to melt a too
07:37large amount of it in the process.
07:39But still, that hot fudge!
07:41Dried pasta comes in all sorts of different shapes and sizes for a reason.
07:46That's because each type of pasta goes best with a particular sauce.
07:51Pasta shells, for example, are perfect with denser and chunkier sauces.
07:55Why?
07:56Because the sauce gets inside the shells, making it easier to serve and eat the dish.
08:01The ribbed outer surface also helps with covering the shells in the sauce.
08:07If you ever end up burning your cookies, you can save them with your trusty grater, too.
08:13Just grate off the blackened parts after carefully taking the cookies from the baking tray.
08:17But be careful and wait until the cookies have cooled down.
08:21Also, if you ruin their shape a bit, you can always dip them in some melted chocolate.
08:26Ooh!
08:27After the chocolate cools down, you'll have perfectly shaped cookies.
08:31Although, after it gets past your lips and beyond, does the shape of the cookie actually matter?
08:37Just saying.
08:39If you like adding a lot of ingredients to your sandwiches, but don't really appreciate it when the bread gets
08:45soggy,
08:46there is a way to reduce the amount of moisture.
08:48Pick your sliced tomatoes or cucumbers and place them between two paper towels for up to five minutes.
08:55After that, you can use them.
08:57Also, make sure to spread butter, cheese, or sauces, like mayo or ketchup, onto the bread first.
09:03This will help you seal the bread and keep moisture at bay.
09:08Some people think that the little white string that you find near an egg yolk needs to be removed before
09:14you cook the egg.
09:15Well, I'm here to tell you that these strands are called caleza, and you don't actually need to get rid
09:20of them.
09:21They help keep the yolk in place, at the egg's center.
09:24A caleza is not going to mess up the consistency or the taste of your food.
09:28So, removing it is completely up to you.
09:31Ever notice that most juice boxes come with two flaps, one on each side?
09:36Those are actually handles.
09:39Manufacturers design the boxes this way to make it easier for us to hold them.
09:43This way, we don't end up squeezing the box, making the juice spill out.
09:49Now, you don't need to be a baking pro to know that you can use both white and brown sugar
09:54in your recipes.
09:55But have you ever wondered what the difference between these two is?
09:59It turns out that the only thing that sets them apart is that, during production, a small amount of molasses
10:06is added to the brown sugar.
10:08Molasses is basically a sort of syrup you get when processing sugarcane.
10:12It's usually removed during the refining process.
10:16That's how white sugar is produced.
10:18But if some amount of molasses remains in the final product, we end up with brown sugar, with its specific
10:24taste and darker hue.
10:26It's a good thing.
10:29There are a lot of things you can put in your dishwasher, apart from your dishes.
10:33For example, you can clean such things as your silicone oven mitts or the knobs of some kitchen appliances, like
10:40your oven or stove.
10:42Some kitchen sponges and reusable towels may be safe to clean in the dishwasher as well.
10:47Speaking of kitchen cleaning products, there are a lot of things you can do with dish soap, like de-griming
10:54your patio furniture.
10:55Just add a bit of dish detergent to some warm water and use the solution to wipe down your outdoor
11:00furniture with a piece of cloth.
11:03Finally, rinse it clean using your garden hose.
11:06You can also use dish soap to get rid of greasy stains on your clothes.
11:10Be it pasta sauce or salad dressings.
11:13Hey, sometimes we miss our mouths!
11:16So, just apply a little dish detergent to the stain and then rinse with water.
11:20Use non-colored soap for lighter clothes.
11:23For more difficult stains, let the dish soap sink in for a bit, then throw the piece of clothing in
11:28the washer as usual.
11:29And think about maybe getting a bib.
11:32If none of the methods have helped you organize your closet, and you're still overwhelmed with large piles of clothes,
11:39there's a simple way that might be effective.
11:41It's called the one-in-one-out rule.
11:45That means, for every new piece of clothing you buy, you need to get rid of one you already have.
11:51That means you'll always be decluttering your space.
11:54To make it easier to find something in your closet, good luck!
11:58Keep your most used items at eye level.
12:01This way, they'll be easier to find and pull out when you're in a hurry.
12:04Those items that you tend to use less often, like your evening clothes, for example, can stay on the shelves
12:10above or below your eye level.
12:13You can make good use of old spice tins.
12:16If you glue some powerful magnets to the inside of the tins, they can double as magnetic shelves.
12:22You can use them for all sorts of everyday items, like kitchen pliers, ice cream scoops, or even cutlery.
12:29You can also place them on any metallic surface, like your refrigerator door.
12:34They'll blend in nicely with your kitchen magnets.
12:37Hidden in your laundry room, there's a great tool for picking up head hair.
12:41It sometimes works better than lint rollers.
12:44Take a dryer sheet and, using some elbow grease, you'll get rid of that dog or cat hair in no
12:50time.
12:51It works on all sorts of surfaces, but it's especially effective for upholstered furniture.
12:57Now, if you don't like it when a door starts squeaking whenever you enter a room,
13:01get a bar of soap and rub it straight on the hinges.
13:04This will only help for a while, though.
13:07But it'll do the trick until you manage to get to a hardware store.
13:11And, you know, buy some oil.
13:13Have you ever noticed that in some elevators, there's a star next to the number of a specific floor?
13:19No, it's not to indicate where my office is.
13:23It's there to point out where the nearest exit is.
13:26And it's not always on the first floor.
13:28It's most likely located on the floor closest to the street.
13:32Have you ever wondered why stop signs are red?
13:36Well, back in the day, they didn't actually have any particular color at all.
13:40Before the 1920s, they didn't even have a standardized shade.
13:44In 1922, though, someone came up with the octagon.
13:48But initially, it was painted yellow.
13:51All because the red coloring tended to fade out too quickly because of sun exposure.
13:56So, yellow turned out to be the best option.
13:59It took another 30 years for fade-resistant enamel paint to be invented.
14:03We ended up changing the color of the stop sign back to red.
14:07After all, it's still the best color if you want something to be easily noticeable.
14:12Do you know there's a type of rose that can grow taller than people?
14:17According to the Guinness Book of World Records, the tallest rosebush ever found grew in Vienna, Austria.
14:24It was a staggering 28 and a half feet tall.
14:27Yes, it arose to a great height.
14:30In the same way we all have unique patterns on our fingerprints, no two tigers have the same set of
14:36stripes.
14:37It makes it easier for people working with this feline species to distinguish one tiger from another.
14:43I'll bet you didn't know, the White House has its own flower shop hidden in the basement of the building.
14:49It's supposed to provide flower arrangements for all sorts of events that take place there.
14:54It's probably no surprise that pizza has become an American staple dish despite its Italian origin.
15:01People in the U.S. love it so much that they buy 350 slices of pizza every second in the
15:08States.
15:09Man, I am not getting my fair share.
15:11To manage the huge demand for this delicious dish, around 17% of all restaurants in the U.S. are
15:18pizzerias.
15:20Finally, there's a way to make lemon juice without the seeds getting into your beverage.
15:25Try cutting the fruit in two and squeezing it with a pair of kitchen tongs.
15:30The pointed end of the lemon should be facing down.
15:32The juice will flow down, but the seeds will remain inside the lemon.
15:37Ooh, lemonade.
15:39It goes well with pizza.
15:42You're heading to a supermarket to get a few small items.
15:45The self-service checkout is way faster than waiting for people to unload their huge shopping carts.
15:51Analyzing now.
15:52But this loud voice from a machine, commanding over and over again, spoils all the appetite.
15:58Analyzing now.
15:59I have some good news for you.
16:01You can turn it off.
16:02Take a closer look at the screen.
16:04You'll probably see a volume button at the bottom.
16:08Use your finger to mute the annoying polite voice once and for all.
16:12Not all machines have this hidden option, though, but it's definitely worth checking out.
16:20Usually, a sunflower oil bottle has this weird inner cap.
16:24Most people remove the entire top layer and throw it away, but there's actually a better way to use it.
16:32Turn the removed element inside down and put it into the bottleneck.
16:36It will make a great dispenser, and you'll never spill more oil than you wanted in your salad.
16:44Planning a picnic with your friends in the wild?
16:46Forget about the classic picnic basket.
16:49We got it all wrong.
16:50It's not a basket, but a bucket.
16:53Yep, it's way better to put your picnic stuff into several buckets.
16:58This will help evenly distribute the weight among all guests.
17:01And when you find a nice spot for your picnic and get all the stuff out,
17:06turn the buckets over and use them as stools.
17:09When the food is over, put the buckets into each other to save space on the way back home.
17:16Your toast is getting burnt, but you don't have any kitchen tongs at hand?
17:20Take two identical forks.
17:23Put them together time to time.
17:25Stick them tightly with a rubber band.
17:27And voila, your tongs are ready.
17:30Ever wondered what this double bottom under the Nutella lid is for?
17:34There's only one way to find out.
17:37Here's a brand new Nutella jar.
17:39Let's remove the white carton circle and then peel off the foil.
17:43Surprise!
17:44There should be a little knife to cut the gold foil cover.
17:47Now you know how to get access to your favorite guilty pleasure without scratching your hands.
17:54Don't throw away the glass jar after you're done with Nutella.
17:58It can turn into a candle holder or a lantern.
18:01Wash it, paint it to your taste, add some decorations or lettering.
18:06Glue a decorative rope around the neck of the jar.
18:10Set a candle inside the jar or put string lights inside it.
18:14No one will ever guess that it used to be a Nutella jar.
18:19It'll be our secret.
18:21Have you ever wondered why Ritz crackers have ridges?
18:25You can use them as a safe knife for cheese and similar soft products like cucumber, ham and so on.
18:33Just roll the cracker as if it were a tiny pizza cutter and press.
18:38Now all the ingredients fit on your cracker perfectly.
18:42Enjoy your snack.
18:44Do you have one of those old baking trays that you never use but still hesitate to throw away?
18:50Good news!
18:51You can recycle it and make a gorgeous frame for a painting or a picture.
18:55There are two ways to do so.
18:58De-grease the surface of your tray and attach the image to the bottom.
19:03In this case, the frame will stick forward.
19:05Or you can flip the tray upside down and the edges will hide behind.
19:11Hang this construction on a wall or put it on a shelf.
19:15And feel free to use metal paint to give your frame an appropriate color.
19:20An old cutting board can make a great frame for a mirror.
19:25Use double-sided tape to attach a matching mirror to the surface of your board.
19:30Make sure the mirror is firmly glued.
19:33And now you can hang it on a wall using the board's handle.
19:37Or put it on a cabinet and lean it on a wall.
19:40Don't forget to wash and dry the cutting board before beginning this DIY.
19:45We don't want the mirror to smell fishy.
19:48Another superpower of a cutting board is keeping wires tangle-free.
19:52Wrap some string lights around an old wooden cutting board and put it in your closet.
19:58The next holiday season, you'll have it completely untangled.
20:03A hair dryer can make a great mini vacuum cleaner when you need an emergency cleaning.
20:08Cut a plastic bottle and dry it.
20:11Put a layer of fabric on the fan of your hair dryer.
20:14Then place the fan in the plastic bottle bottom portion.
20:19Fix the bottle and attach it to the hair dryer using a plaster.
20:23Turn it on and you're ready to clean the mess.
20:27You can use a retro gas stove grate to hang your indoor plants.
20:31Attach it to the wall with screws or nails.
20:34Now you're ready to hang flower pots, string lights, and any other decor items.
20:40If the color of your stove grate doesn't match the interior, you can always fix this using spray paint.
20:48Chopsticks and wooden ice cream sticks can also turn into a beautiful panel that will decorate your interior.
20:55Glue the edges together to create a grid.
20:58You can also put together your name or any other word you want out of sticks.
21:03Then wrap the grid around with string lights and enjoy your decor.
21:08Don't throw away wrinkled kitchen foil.
21:11It can help to sparkle up your day.
21:14Crumple identical foil balls and glue them over a glass, a mirror frame, or even a book,
21:20and your life will immediately become more glamorous.
21:24If you need to sharpen your dull scissors, take aluminum foil and crunch it up into a ball.
21:30Sharpen the edges of the scissors right on that ball of foil.
21:35To speed up your ironing routine, place sheets of tin foil under your ironing board and then put the cover
21:42back on.
21:43The tin foil will reflect the heat.
21:45The iron will get hotter and will do the job much faster.
21:50If you struggle to organize all your jewelry and lose your favorite items from time to time, use a sponge
21:56to store it.
21:57Just make a few cuts and put your shiny little friends inside these cuts.
22:02They will sit firmly in the sponge and won't fall out or mix.
22:07You can also use a sponge to create an organizer for your jewelry.
22:12Find a cute box, cut your sponge into matching pieces, and put them inside the box.
22:18Use glue or tape to attach the sponge to the box, and enjoy your new jewelry casket.
22:25You can easily make chocolate-filled strawberries at home.
22:30Take a plastic syringe, fill it with chocolate paste, remove the leaves from a strawberry,
22:35and stick the syringe into the hole from which the sprig usually sticks out.
22:40Squeeze chocolate into the berry, and it's ready.
22:43You can use the same technique when you bake eclairs, apples, or want to leave a chocolate note on a
22:50pancake
22:51to surprise your significant other in the morning.
22:55Wooden pants hangers with metal clips can be handy when it comes to hanging curtains or a backdrop for your
23:00photoshoot.
23:01If you need to hang curtains but don't have any special hooks, attach several plants hangers along the entire length
23:09of the curtains,
23:10and then hang this construction on a ledge.
23:14An old metal tea jar serves as a mini shelf for small things in your kitchen.
23:19Apply double-sided tape to the jar and stick it to the top corner of your cabinet.
23:25Pockets are usually on the left side of shirts because most people are right-handed.
23:29Is this a myth or a fact?
23:32This is actually true.
23:34Many products favor the righties.
23:36Left-handed people will relate to this on so many levels.
23:39Let's say public transport.
23:41Have you ever noticed that the scanner at stations is typically on the right side?
23:46Household equipment and devices are one more example.
23:49Scissors, tweezers, bottle openers, and many other kitchen and household appliances are designed with right-handed people in mind.
23:57The same goes for shirt pockets.
24:00While some people use both hands equally and others change their hand preference between tasks,
24:04overall, most people are right-handed.
24:07A study has revealed that 75% to 90% of the world's population are right-handed and 10%
24:14are left-handed.
24:15This means it's more convenient for most people to have pockets on the left side than on the right side
24:20of their garments.
24:22Try it out for yourself.
24:23Your elbow kind of folds when you try to reach into the pocket on the right side.
24:28Whereas on the left side, your elbow makes an arc shape,
24:31which makes it easier to put things inside the pocket and take them out.
24:36Eating more protein leads to having bigger muscles.
24:38What do you think about this, bodybuilders?
24:41Myth or fact?
24:43This is a myth.
24:45It's true that eating protein is essential for building bigger muscles.
24:48I mean, proteins are building blocks of your body.
24:51And yet, eating more than you need is unnecessary.
24:56Everyone should drink 8 glasses of water a day.
24:58Do you think this is a myth or a fact?
25:01This is a myth.
25:03So don't blame yourself for drinking less water than recommended.
25:068 glasses are not a magic number.
25:09Hydration needs differ from one person to another.
25:12How much water you should drink every day depends on your activity and exercise level.
25:17The temperature of the place where you live affects this number too.
25:20If you live in a hot area, you sweat more and need to drink more water.
25:24Soup, coffee, tea, fruits, and other things you eat daily also contain water.
25:32Carrots are high in sugar, so you should avoid eating them.
25:35If this is true, we should warn bunnies.
25:37Any guesses, fact, or myth?
25:40It's a myth.
25:42Carrots are about 85% water.
25:44One pound of cooked carrots only contains 3 teaspoons of sugar.
25:48Compared to the amount of sugar in desserts, this is nothing.
25:51Plus, carrots are high in phytochemicals, and eating them can help lower blood sugar.
25:58Medieval people believed in flat earth.
26:01Is this a myth or a fact?
26:03Obviously, flat earth is a myth.
26:06But so is the history built around this myth.
26:08You can't say that at those times.
26:11The whole world was skeptical about earth's spherical shape.
26:14Even everyday visible things proved that.
26:16For example, medieval people could see that the twilight glow during sunrise and sunset formed an arc over the horizon.
26:25Vikings wore horned helmets.
26:28Is this a myth or fact?
26:30The well-known image of a Viking warrior is almost always completed with a horned helmet.
26:36But in reality, there were no horns.
26:39There's no evidence that Viking helmets were horned.
26:43Detox juices cleanse your body.
26:45Is this a fact?
26:46Or myth?
26:48It's a myth.
26:50Detoxification doesn't work that way.
26:52Your internal organs are responsible for the process of cleansing the spleen, liver, kidneys, especially the liver.
26:59Your body is always in a natural state of cleansing itself.
27:03A person doesn't need to drink juices for detoxification.
27:08Nuts are junk food.
27:09Any thoughts?
27:11Myth or fact?
27:13You're right.
27:14This is a myth.
27:15Nuts are full of healthy fats.
27:18They're good for your heart and other organs.
27:21The average American throws away about 82 pounds of textile waste per year.
27:27Is this a fact or myth?
27:30Fact!
27:31Imagine all that waste.
27:33When someone throws their clothes away, they don't disappear into thin air.
27:37These items most likely reach landfills as their final destination.
27:41Donating clothes and selling them in second-hand stores are a much better option.
27:46Now, you've probably heard about life-saving laundry tricks that are said to make your clothes super clean and as
27:53good as they were on day one.
27:54What if those laundry tips are actually myths?
27:58I got three of them lined up for you.
28:01Shirts should be buttoned when you put them in the laundry.
28:03Is it true or not?
28:06This is a myth.
28:07You'd better keep zippers closed to keep their teeth from catching the fabric of other clothes.
28:12But fastening the buttons of a shirt can expand the button net and the buttonhole.
28:16In the long term, buttons will start slipping out of place.
28:21Washing clothes in hot water is the most effective way to clean them.
28:24Is this a myth or fact?
28:27That's another laundry myth.
28:29You want to rid your clothes of germs.
28:32Yet, hot water alone won't be enough for this.
28:35Nowadays, many detergents can clean clothes in cold or warm water.
28:40You should remove stains from the face of the fabric.
28:43Is it true?
28:45Most people apply water and soap to the stain, starting from the front side of the fabric.
28:50But that's not the best option.
28:52A much better way is to start from the back.
28:54The stain can go deeper if you treat it from the front.
28:57Try to make the stain move up to the surface, rather than push it inside.
29:03Listening to music is an effective tool for learning languages.
29:07Is it a myth or fact?
29:09It's a fact.
29:11Scientists say listening to a song and humming along can help you learn a language.
29:16Most people struggle to learn grammar.
29:18Yet, in our daily lives, we don't always follow grammar rules.
29:21Songs can help you pick up informal expressions.
29:26Scientists have also concluded that music can help you remember new words and add them to your vocabulary.
29:32Let me give you an example.
29:33It's from your first year at school.
29:35Yep, the alphabet song.
29:38Are you a morning person or a night owl?
29:41Either way, you might want to know these facts and myths about sleep.
29:46The longest someone went without sleep was 11 days.
29:50Do you think this is possible?
29:52Or is it an urban legend?
29:54This is a fact.
29:56Randy Gardner set the record for the longest amount of time a person went without sleep.
30:01It was an experiment carried out by Stanford sleep researcher, Dr. William C. Demond.
30:06The doctor recorded and monitored Randy Gardner's sleep activity.
30:10Gardner managed to stay awake for 11 days and 25 minutes.
30:16Your body eventually gets used to getting less sleep.
30:19Myth or fact?
30:21It's a myth.
30:22There are many studies proving that your body and especially your brain can't get used to sleeping less.
30:28Have you noticed that after a few nights of insufficient sleep, you begin to feel groggier during the day?
30:34That's your body trying to adjust to not getting enough rest.
30:37Long-term sleep deprivation affects your daytime performance, focus, and decision-making.
30:44Many grown-ups need 5 or fewer hours of sleep.
30:48Can it be true?
30:49Well, this one's easy.
30:51It's a myth.
30:52Experts from the National Sleep Foundation recommend that the average adult sleeps 7 to 9 hours per night.
30:59Some people have a genetic mutation thanks to which they wake up refreshed after a short night's sleep.
31:04But such people are an exception.
31:06One in 4 million.
31:09The ability to fall asleep in any place and at any time means you're a good sleeper.
31:15What do you think?
31:16Myth or fact?
31:18It's a myth.
31:19A good sleeper gets a proper amount of sleep and has a regular sleep schedule.
31:24Cats spend two-thirds of their life asleep.
31:27Do you believe that?
31:29This will probably come as no surprise.
31:32It's a fact.
31:33How many of the facts and myths did you guess correctly?
