Have you ever wondered what the glass in the front of your car called a windshield is for? It's there to shield you from the wind. Now you know... You're welcome.
... Seriously, when Silica Gel came I thought "oh, so it has some secret use beyond moisture absorption?" And then it turns out that the "secret use" is it's main purpose...? Seriously, this is no secret use and a widely known thing...
Scarfmonster Just because you already knew this doesn't give you the right to be an ass. I'm sure there are more people than you'd think who don't know. it's not like these are uses that weren't intentional. The uses aren't secrets just not necessarily widely known.
Bibasik7 you mean cars from the 1930s? Since that's when day/night mirrors came out? I don't think many people, especially people watching this channel, have a car from the early 30s.
NerdsDocuments yes it is funny, you Scrooge. I live in Texas and found this humorous. Please have a better sense of humor next time understand that it's a joke.
Don't just go off those lines. Tires can have plenty of tread and still be dry rotted and the tread can come off and cause serious damage to your car or cause you to wreck.
For those of us who still smoke pipes, pipe cleaners are still used to clean those pipes. Pipe smoking is not some lost activity as you seem to indicate.
Note to Be Amazed: #2 is pronounced Tread not thread. As for the marks in tires, they are called the tread wear indicators and are set at 2/32" or 1.6 mm. For minimum requirements in the U.S., Texas requires tires be replaced at 3/32", 42 states consider 2/32 inch the minimum legal tread depth; while California and Idaho require replacement at 1/32". The states of Arkansas, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Carolina and West Virginia have no standards on tread depth.
Also that patch in a garment of clothing is also there so you can take it as a sample to match other garments if clothing with it. e.g Matching the shade if colour of that dress you bought for a wedding with a cardigan or head dress or bag.
Sir Isaac Newton came up with milled edges on coins to prevent clipping in 1698 while in charge of the British mint... not the US almost 100 years later.
riley destroy He isn't He is stating a fact, the vid makes it sound like the U.S. were the first country to introduce milled coins, The USA didn't even exist when the U.K. first introduced milled coinage.
The design of ridged edges to prevent clipping goes back to the Romans. The US were the first to mint reeded coins. The British hammered coins with a motto on the edge, DECVS ET TVTAMEN (For decoration and security) which was fuckall useless for preventing counterfeiting. So yes, once again the US was the first to do what every other country copied.
+SD StarkWeather Not everyone is from America you know? Tyre is how they spell it in the UK... You know, the place where the English language comes from? Next you're going to say that colour is spelled color right? LMAO
HotCrazyCatLady no, next I'm gonna say oh sorry I hadn't realized. I'm from America so I'm not very informed in how people from different parts of the world spell words. Sorry if your offended by my lack of knowledge.
My favorite trick for the silica gel packets is to place them in gun cases to help prevent rust. My dad would take the silica capsules from prescriptions and place them in ammo boxes as well. They fit quite nicely in a vacant spot.
Pipe cleaners can be useful even today for more than just arts and crafts. You can use them to tie cords together to keep them neat, you can use them to absorb excess oil from bike chains, you can use them to clean out long tubes to remove dust from them (handy if it's a breathing tube on a sleep apnea or CPAP machine) and it can also be used to polish small silver cups!
The rear-view mirror dimming was kind of the most obvious. I don't know who wouldn't have known that sayyyyyy... the first time they drove at night. Besides, most newer cars have auto-dimming mirrors.
it should be, but obviously, there are too many incompetent drivers, which won their driving license in lottery, so they couldn´t hear those basics in class
I love that on number one, he gave the secret use for the lines, then quoted the company that makes the cup as literally saying that that fact is in no way true, and those lines have no use besides looks, NOT measurements. Gave a "fact" then immediately proved your own fact wrong in the next sentence.
ZockMedic He has to make money you know. If you have an actual job someday, tell me all about how you refused higher pay ''cuz I am not greedy.'' Stop judging people who want decent pay for the work they do.
10. Pompoms on hats were worn by sailors to protect their heads from low ceilings. 9. The button at the bottom of the rearview mirror switches it into night mode. 8. Pipe cleaners were originally used for cleaning smoking pipes. 7. Patches of fabric on new clothes are for testing different types of laundry detergent 6. The black dots around the border of windshields connect the windscreen to the car frame. 5. Coins have ridges around the edges to help prevent people from shaving coins and selling the metals. They also prevent counterfeiting. 4. Silica gel reduces humidity in a small container, and they can be used as an alternative to putting water damaged electronics in rice. 3. Beer bottles are brown prevent beer from developing an odor in the light. 2. Bumps in car tires determine whether your tire is still usable. 1. The lines on red drinking cups correspond to measurements for different types of alcohol (The Solo Cups company literally said this wasn't true). Just saved you 10 minutes.
item 5 is correct however it was sir Isaac newton (yes the gravity one ) who invented the milled edges in 1696 to prevent clipping it was so successfully the us mint copied the idea !
Yes, isn't it amazing when some people think that they have invented something and it has been around for hundreds of years? This is how the youngsters of today are discovering 'new' things that their Grandparents should have taught them when they were children.
Those dots/lines on windshields has two other purposes too. Sometimes they have heaters in them, and are used to defrost the window. And sometimes they have integrated antenna inside, for tuning into the FM radio. Nicer having it flat on the windshield as opposed to a big floppy stick the vandals can easily bend/rip off.
Oxygen absorbers in some packaged foods. They are there to keep the food good when you have not opened the package yet. It does that by absorbing the oxygen so it does not affect the food.
LMAO! When the "grammar police" is shit at spelling XD!! You didn't space Know" and More, You did not put quotations over "10 thing you prob know", you forgot the s on things, probably... just probably... And you could have added "already" to the end for it to sound a little bit better. (2/10) 20% = F! S̲E̲E̲ ̲M̲E̲ ̲A̲F̲T̲E̲R̲ ̲C̲L̲A̲S̲S̲ ̲M̲I̲S̲T̲E̲R̲!̲!̲!
Things I knew: Pom-Pom because I am a sailor, reviewer mirror night vision because my dad told me when I got my lisence. Pipe cleaners because my grandpa smoked a pipe, I knew about the fritt since my uncle is a mechanic. I knew about the coins from a random fact as well as the silicone. I knew about the beer bottles since I drink beer. I knew about the tire nubs because of my uncle. Pretty well known facts.
Some of these types of videos are really cool and I actually learn some pretty cool stuff, and this one is no different! I learned and confirmed that, there a lot of people that just plan old dummies..
I did too... it's called a polarizer. Indeed, enough with a-holes who have to get halogens brighter than the Sun! They give safety for that driver, but diminish it for other drivers.
People don't have to be stupid to get cancer Silica is the dust that comes from concrete.I do some construction work and can tell you how important it is to keep this shit away and wear dust masks. www.silica-safe.org/ask-a-question/faq
The 4th trick doesn't work that much better than rice. It cannot get the water inside the phone, no matter how much there is. Your only options are to open it and dry every part separately or bring it in for repair.
You're incorrect. Silica is a very powerful dessictant and can attract the water in the tiny crevices of a cell phone like a magnet. It's still better to disassemble the phone as much as possible so that the silica has a better chance of working.
Silica gel is THE SHIT! I bought a kilo of it off eBay when I used to wear tough industrial boots to work every day. Take the insole out to dry, put a sock filled with silica gel in each boot, and they stayed absolutely smell free and fresh for years. No moisture, no bacteria, no smell!
Came up with a few more "Hidden Secret Uses" about cars Hidden use: Your car likely has a little lever to the left of your steering column, but DID YOU KNOW that if you push it forward it makes the headlights much brighter, and that is so you can see at night? Hidden use: Cars have a little arrow next to the gas symbol on the gas gauge, BUT DID YOU KNOW that it indicates which side the fill cap is on? Hidden use: Your car may have 3 pedals, but DID YOU KNOW that the 3rd pedal is actually for disengaging the clutch when shifting gears?
