Every morning thousands of people feel as if they're trying to accomplish a particularly tricky quest. Wrestle out of the packed subway car – done. Avoid getting lost and carried away by the crowd – done. Reach the escalator and join the gridlock at the entrance – done. At least all the commuters are following the common escalator rule: stand on the right side, walk on the left. After all, it's the most effective way to use an escalator, right? Actually, it’s wrong! Wait, what? But this practice makes perfect sense: you can always choose whether you want to relax and let the machinery do all the work or save time and walk up! Yep, it turns out that we've been using escalators inefficiently all this time. Other videos you might like:

Is the time difference really that great? 3:36
Why people should stand on escalators side by side 4:43
Please, stay out of my personal space! 5:15
What the supporters of the "everybody-walks" idea say 6:21 #brightside #etiquette #subway SUMMARY:
– A 2011 study from the University of Greenwich figured out that while 75% of people choose to stand on escalators, only 25% walk up.
– In 2015, the London Underground started a three-week trial of a revolutionary approach to using escalators. – Employees of Transport for London asked commuters not to walk on the escalators. – During the morning rush hour between 08:30 to 09:30, the average escalator used to transport about 12,750 people. But during the trial period of standing rules, the same escalator moved 16,220 people!
– People kept pushing each other, shouting, and arguing. It seems that the problem lies in human nature: we want the result right away and are unwilling to postpone it in the interest of the greater good. – Interestingly, people didn't feel all that indignant about the new rule on longer escalators. On such escalators, commuters already preferred to stand on the walking side rather than move. – It took a commuter 26 seconds to walk to the top of the moving escalator and 40 seconds to get there while standing still. – When most commuters stand on the right (or on the left, depending on the country), the weight on the stairs gets distributed unevenly. As a result, one side of the escalator experiences a much greater strain than the other.
– The average American likes to have at least 1 and 1/2 ft (0.45 m) of personal space separating them from other people. Naturally, when you stand on an escalator, this distance is much smaller. It makes people feel uncomfortable.
– But there are also a lot of experts who are sure that walking on escalators is still a much safer and better way to get to your goal. – The supporters of the "everybody-walks" idea also say that if nobody was standing on the stairs and everybody was moving, there would be no gridlocks at all. Well, although reasonable, this advice doesn't sound like fun when you're returning from the airport with a heavy suitcase.

More Everyone Uses Escalators Wrong All the Time Videos

Isn’t it annoying how targeted ads haunt you wherever you go and whatever you do? You filter them in your mind, not paying attention to what they say, but sometimes they can really give you the creeps. Advertisers follow you everywhere. Literally. For example, if you pass by, say, a bank, you’ll most likely soon get a targeted ad of this same bank and probably even with this same address. Advertisers may use geo tags to target you. These tags are basically points on the map, and when you happen to be within a certain distance from one of these points, you start getting specific ads. Let’s say you like to run in a certain park, and there’s a new apartment building somewhere nearby. Most likely you’ll start receiving ads urging you to buy an apartment by that exact address. Interested? Let's investigate the issue! Other videos you might like:

– Companies install special Wi-Fi routers in their offices that have a wider range of operation.

These tags are basically points on the map, and when you happen to be within a certain distance from one of these points, you start getting specific ads.
– Apps often collect your offline data and send it to advertisers. The best example I can think of is a fitness tracker. You allow this device or app access to your phone, and it begins doing its job immediately. – When an app you’ve given permissions to sends your info to advertisers, it’s matched with the offers they can throw at you and you in particular. – Social media apps require access to many of your phone’s functions, including your microphone. But by giving this permission, you automatically let it listen to you even when you don’t intend to record anything.
– Social media apps have verbal triggers, or voice commands, that activate them to record you and then send the things you say to advertisers.
– This collection of data is more or less innocent. The only third parties receiving your info are advertisers, and there’s nothing too personal in there. The things you say are anonymized, which means they can’t be traced back to you. – There are ways to protect yourself if you don’t want ads to go barging into your personal space. Most important of them all is a VPN, or virtual private network. It’s a perfectly legal means to hide your presence in the web and prevent others from snooping around in your private business online. – Also, if you want to turn ads off completely, there’s legal ad blocking software and browser extensions as well.

The United States of America. The land of the free, Home of the brave — inventors! With 50 different states, an area of 3.8 million square miles, and a population of nearly 330 million people, you can just imagine how many inventions have come from the U.S. Let’s take a look at some of the best ones from each state. Did you know, for instance, that sound-cinema was not invented in, say, California, but in Arkansas? Coca Cola comes from Georgia, and the AC – from Florida (and that makes perfect sense), and ice cream cones were first made in Missouri. Other videos you might like:

More 50 Great Inventions from Each of the US States Videos

I’ve never understood that some people think that science is as boring as watching paint dry. Even if scientists literally watched paint dry, it would probably be part of some fascinating experiment, aimed at the betterment of all humanity, or at least the betterment of some paint. There are a lot of scientific endeavors that take an immense amount of time, but produce the most amazing results! And here are some of the oddest among them. Elusive pitch drops, alarm bell that just won't stop, an experiment that is supposed to go on for 500 years – these are truly shocking! Other videos you might like:

-Since ancient time, astronomers have discovered that sunspots have a direct impact on the Earth’s climate. For example, there was a period called Medieval Maximum, from 1100 to 1250, when a lot of sunspots were observed, and which coincides with a period of warmer climate called the Medieval Warm Period. -There is an alarm placed right in the foyer of Clarendon Laboratory at the University of Oxford that has been ringing since 1840.
-There is a clock at the University of Otago, in New Zealand, that hasn’t been wound since it was made in 1864 by Arthur Beverly and has almost never stopped to this day. -A funnel was filled in 1927 with a highly dense pitch known to us as tar or asphalt. When the pitch settled down in 1930, its bottom was opened by Professor Thomas Parnell. It took, on average, 8 years for the first 7 drops to fall. -Charles Cockell from the University of Edinburgh decided to find out how long can dried bacteria survive. In 2014 his ambitious experiment began, and it is supposed to end in 2514. -In 2016, 12 populations of bacteria named E. coli reached the point of 66,000 generations. All these generations of E. coli are needed to track little evolutionary changes in them and to watch the evolution itself in miniature. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

More 6 Times Science Proved It Can’t Be Boring Videos

There’s no short supply of nicknames we have for those who’ve dedicated their lives to upholding the law. No matter which nickname you use, it’s likely you have a strong image in your mind of what a law enforcement officer looks like. Shiny metal badge, fully stocked duty belt, and, of course, the unmistakable blue uniform. It’s iconic. And like anything so well known, there are reasons it came to be that way. Let’s look at how police officers became known as “the men and women in blue”. Other videos you might like:

#2. Charles Lindbergh wasn’t the first to fly across the Atlantic. 9:23
#1. The American National Anthem isn’t an original American tune. 10:21 #Americanmyths #factsaboutAmerica #brightside Music by Epidemic Sound https://www.epidemicsound.com/ SUMMARY:
-Filmmakers hyped cowboys and bandits of the 19th century, making shootouts and robberies the stuff of legend. In truth, though, the era of the Wild West was more about cooperation than conflict.
-In fact, the tribal leader and Pocahontas’ father, Powhatan, invited Smith for a meal to talk business. Pocahontas was there too, and they did become friends with the Captain… but none of it included saving lives. -The approval vote on the Declaration of Independence of the United Colonies took place two days prior to July 4, 1776.
-The whole cherry tree story was a piece of fiction written by George Washington’s biographer Mason Locke Weems in 1806. -Mickey was born in Walt’s head, but the actual drawing of the character belonged to Ub Iwerks, his favorite cartoonist. -Warren de la Rue, a British scientist, got a patent for his light bulb design 40 years before Edison. -Columbus wasn’t the first European to travel to the New World. This title belongs to Leif Erikson, who set foot on North American soil way back in the 11th century.
-Cowboys, or, more accurately, cattle hands, were mostly illiterate men who did dirty jobs in equally dirty rags and simply couldn't afford hats. -In fact, Manhattan was purchased for 60 guilders, which is about $1,000 today. -When Einstein himself was told this story in 1935, he just laughed and said he’d mastered differential and integral calculus before he was 15.
-8 years before Charles Lindbergh, in 1919, two British pilots John Alcock and Arthur Brown did the same, having flown from Newfoundland to Ireland in about 15 hours.
-The words to the “Star Spangled Banner” were indeed written by American poet Francis Scott Key. But the tune for the song representing this “country of immigrants” was itself also an immigrant. Subscribe to Bright Side : https://goo.gl/rQTJZz

For example, can ocean whirlpools be guilty of all the disappearances happening in the Bermuda Triangle? What lurks in the depth of Blue Holes? Was there a city on the bottom of the Bermuda Triangle?

-The bottom of the ocean here is inconsistent. Every now and then, the otherwise sandy floor is replaced by giant dark holes. However, the whirlpools mostly appear in the inland Blue Holes, situated on the Island and not in the ocean. Even if a vortex could sink a small boat, it wouldn’t likely be an issue for big ships, let alone airplanes – they’re far above that in every possible meaning. -The local people of Andros Island, part of the Bahamas, have a legend in their folklore about a giant, vile octopus-like creature named Lusca. Some giant octopuses were seen, and even caught, nearby, though they weren’t nearly as big as the legendary creature. -The only giant things here are overstatements. There certainly aren’t any glass pyramids. Research showed that underlying ground layers beneath the Bimini Road feature nothing but bedrock, with no possible cavities in it. -One of these treasure hunters was lucky enough to come across a secret map, made from the orbit of the planet in the 60s, during one of the first flights into outer space. This map reveals lots of shipwreck coordinates in the Caribbean area. One of them wasn’t marked as a shipwreck, but as an “unidentified object”. -A lot of Bermuda Triangle stories feature reports, allegedly received from missing aircraft and ships. Some enthusiasts of this theory draw a line between it and the experimentations of Joseph Hutchison, who was trying to prove that electromagnetic fields can collide with each other and produce all kinds of disturbances to reality itself.
