Humans have tails. Okay, that sounds weird, I know. But it’s true. While our bodies are still forming in the womb, at around day 31 to 35, you can really start to see it. Right now, you have a tail! It’s inside you. It’s part of your coccyx, to be more precise. If you were to have an X-ray right now and asked the doctor to show you your tail, you’d see some small bony segments at the bottom of your spinel. We lost our tails over decades of evolution. Imagine if we still had our tails, they’d have to redesign pants. Maybe they’d have a special hole or even a tail pocket. Sitting might be a bit uncomfortable, too, to say the least.

Statistically speaking, as I’ll be doing here, you might have heard that a total solar eclipse is a rare thing — sorry, but that’s a bit of a myth. This phenomenon occurs approximately once every 18 months. The next one will take place in April 2024, so you can check it out yourself!

One of the reasons pumpkins are used for Halloween is that they’re easy to mold faces and drawings out of this vegetable. But where exactly did this strange tradition come from? In Ireland, people used vegetables to ward off evil spirits. And in the 19th century, the Irish brought the Halloween tradition to the world.

Videos with rainbow bath bombs, hair scrunchies with secret pockets, and even a smart button pusher have exploded on TikTok and got millions of views. This got us thinking that maybe you don’t need to be a Gen Z representative to appreciate trending products. And yeah, it seems they’re gonna make a big change in your daily routine.

Kate Middleton’s fashion choices inspire many women around the world, and there are websites devoted to what the duchess wears for every occasion. Kate’s outfits are always elegant and spot-on, and many of us would love to learn the secrets of her style. As it turns out, Kate follows several simple but effective fashion principles that you can follow too if you’re a fan of her royal looks.

If you have doubts about which present to give to your boyfriend, you can orchestrate a big surprise, like a proposal. Some female celebrities have done this and they don’t regret their choice. Modern women can be vulnerable and strong at the same time.

It seems like porridge, hot dogs, and pineapple have nothing in common. However, some foreigners believe that these foods are rare delicacies. By the way, for some people, caviar is something common that they eat every day while others are ready to pay thousands to try it.

Sometimes it seems to us that the differences between countries have become almost invisible due to globalization. We buy the same gadgets, use the same brands, buy products in the same-chain supermarkets, etc. Nevertheless, if we dive into the details, we will find out that the residents of each country have customs and traditions that only they can understand.

Engagement, asking for your beloved’s hand, and marriage are conducted in different ways according to a country and its culture. Thus, even though there are some similarities between some customs or traditions, each place — and even each region — can have its own peculiarities and singularities.

Hyperboreans and the inhabitants of Atlantis are just some of the mythical nations that fascinated the ancient civilizations that came before us. However, reality is always better than fiction, and the nations that actually exist still give researchers questions that they have no answers for. For example, how is it possible that just 400 miles away from Moscow, there are pagans that still make sacrifices to the ancient gods?

People from different countries have very different ideas about what true happiness is. More than that, for different nations, happiness may even be in opposite things.

From tall and slim to petite and curvy, women across the globe come in all shapes and sizes. So it’s no wonder that every country has its own beauty standards that usually stand apart from the others. And, among them, some nations have such an uncommon way of seeing beauty that it just leaves us speechless.

Redheads used to be somewhat mysterious and attracted people’s attention. In the Middle Ages, they were considered to be witches or vampires, and sometimes society treated them cruelly. But fortunately, these times are long gone, and now we can enjoy people with this beautiful hair color. But hair color isn’t the only distinguishing feature that redheads have.

There are so many places in the world that are unbelievably beautiful and are worth spending all of your vacation money on. Millions of grand waterfalls, thousands of mountains, and hundreds of unseen miracles of nature that are impossible to visit in one lifetime.

The Web often surprises us with clever photo manipulations. Some users make fun of them; others just distrust them. We at Bright Side found several brilliant examples of photography that caused a great deal of uproar around the world while being completely fake.
