Amazing Secrets Hidden In Everyday Things - Part 7

[@jamesroachjr4074]

Is anyone old enough to remember floppy disks?

[@PhollyHanson]

8" Eight inch single sided Floppy Disk (really, it would flop around if you held it just by the bottom edge and if it got a crease in it from bending over then say GOODBYE to ALL bytes of Data you had stored on it for quick retrieval. That was around 80 thousand bytes at first. That's 80Kbytes. 80K keystrokes from the keyboard. One floppy disk holding about 26 pages of single spaced text, only text, no fancy formatting or custom fonts or graphic images embedded with text wrapped and flowing around a photo. Yes, I remember them. I also remember having to put a piece of thin black mylar tape over a large notch cutout on one edge of the disk. This was the Write-Protect notch that if taped over, prevented the disk drive unit from writing any information to the disk. One could read FROM the 8" disk but not Write TO the 8" disk. All information could be erased or corrupted by an external use of a magnet. Even the magnets that held things to refrigerator doors could bring tears to your eyes if some helpful person wanted to draw your attention to where your data disk was by putting a Post-it note on the disk and placing it on the refrigerator door with a magnet to hold it in place until you saw it. 👀 The magnet ATE MY HOMEWORK. Fun times. Buggy Whips at least had other uses. Floppy Disks don't even make good drinking glass COASTERS.

Yep, I'm old enough to even remember the 8" floppy disks.

[@lorilynnclure5824]

Well, good then because I was ready to bitch em out for wasting perfectly good food. We waste SO MUCH FOOD, it's disgusting! No one on the face of the Earth should be going hungry! There's more than enough food on the planet to go around for EVERYONE!! However, wasting food and Countries with questionable government restricting the flow of nutritional foods, which is done purposely, people are starving somewhere everyday! Oh, "restricting the flow of nutritional foods. "Why, why would they do that," you may ask. For the same reason it's done here. It's a very simple way to Control the masses. It gives a Government, "Power and Control," over the Peoples they Govern!! Usually, not in the best interest for the People but in the best interest of the the one in the Highest Command of that Government!!

[@pamelsims2068]

Oh good grief.......the majority of wasted food in house holds has nothing to do with a conspiracy. 1. Prepackaged food often means people buy more than they need. Eg people who live alone. 2. "Two fer" chilled food offers prove irresistible to shoppers who take it home and hadn't planned to use that much it goes out of date before it is used. 3. People are obsessed by "use by" or "best before" dates and dispose of food that is still perfectly edible. 4. Only gardeners love vegetables of all shapes. Uniformity makes for less prep time , uniform cooking time and perfect presentation. Weird and damaged produce is rejected by supermarkets for that reason customers don't pick them off the shelf. 5. Chilled produce travels across the country, even around the world, and can get damaged or poorly stored in transit. 6. Some countries have glut of some foods. Sometimes it just is not worth the cost of transport or refrigeration...or treatment to increase shelf life if producers are tempted to give it away to starving millions overseas

[@nobody7817]

@@pamelsims2068No... the "use by" date is there for a VERY VERY GOOD reason--and you're an idiot if you use it after that date. OFTEN I find food getting to be disgusting BEFORE they used by date. Odd shaped vegetables are EVERYWHERE, whoever told you that they aren't is blind as a bat. I've gotten videos of some very peculiar shaped food (especially potatoes and carrots (one carrot looks like it's giving birth to another carrot) that I have bought through the years. I often joke about them coming from Chernobyl Farms...

[@psyduckrules]

@@nobody7817 Your not completely right about that… The dates are valid as a concept, but they aren’t accurate. That kind of thing never is. Also, they exist to quell lawsuits generated by stupid people, so they don’t need to be accurate. Also you can loophole them somewhat. My mom has used past the expiration date multiple times by storing it in the freezer. It still goes bad, but the freezer will delay it significantly.

8:45 for those that don't know the nickel and the half dime are 2 different coins despite being the same value, nickels started being made in 1866 and half dimes stopped being made in 1873, with the exception of briefly during World War 2 the nickel we know has never been made of silver

[@macforme]

Something that had me a little annoyed was they were talking about coins made in 1792 and they show a Lincoln penny ( copper) which came out in 1909. And they completely ignored the $20 Liberty( profile) coin and the St Gaudins, both made out of gold.

When he was talking about the shopping carts, I was hoping he’d explain why I always get one with a wonky wheel

[@tag1462]

I once added a lawnmower motor to a grocery cart. I fixed the wonky front wheels with a transbar which was actually harder than installing the motor. I had to offset it from center. But I had a cool go cart that raced up and down the aisles.

[@JUST-UK-JAY]

you chose that one, no explination needed. YOU chose not to swap it before you went down aisle 1 (stoopid)

[@miapdx503]

They reserve a wonky cart just for me. It's waiting for me, every time. How do I thank them?🤔

[@4earedfox]

I call them drunk carts.

[@Back-in-Brack]

So all the carts are terrible but ykow how sometimes staff will have carts if they are restocking or returning items? well once we had an empty cart that was SUPER wonky and we saw a staff cart with 1 or 2 items in it so we switched the carts and the staff cart was PERFECT no wonky wheels... they had good carts this whole time and were hiding them from us..

I worked for a small grocery store in the 60's. The elderly owner inspected every egg, placing each one on an egg lamp that would shine light through it to detect bad spots.

[@Anna_Key]

Wow, that was fantastic service for their customers! ❤

[@SmokeyTreats]

@Anna_Key Yes, it sure was. He even peeled the outer layer off of every onion, too. His name was CJ Cooley & the tiny one isle store was named after his wife & called Anna Laura's.

[@DJPLAST2]

The OREO logo was used in an advertising campaign back in the 60’s the double cross was an antenna on the space ship, the oval was actually the spaceship. I forget what the “space man” was called. Looking thru the eggs is called candling, to check to see if the eggs were fertile. No one likes to crack an egg for breakfast and then has to scrape a chick out of the frying pan, also causes one to lose their appetite for breakfast.

[@kirkawhyte5323]

Pahh!! The clue is in the video 5:14 Oreo double cross is the defined "Nesbisco" logo !

[@marciaoh7056]

It wasn't to detect "bad spots". LOL. It was to see if any of them were fertilized. Where was he buying the eggs from? Direct from a farmer? Because fertilized eggs being sold at a grocery store these days can't happen. They are never fertile. They come from egg farms and are raised under specific conditions.

My favorite hidden feature is at the ends of a roll of saran wrap, aluminum foil or other wraps in a cardboard tube. The ends have a piece of cardboard that, when pushed in, prevent the roll to fall out of the case. Once the end tabs are pushed in, they each go into the ends of the roll inside.

Ah...screen savers. I absolutely loved looking for the teapots on the 3D-Pipes...though it was that particular screen saver that caused me and my company heartburn for a few weeks. Our backups started to not complete overnight. We'd come in and they would be at 2 or 3% completed when normally they'd be done in an hour at most. Took weeks to finally realize that someone had changed the server screen saver to 3D pipes and it was using 99% of the CPU to draw those damn pipes...all night and it had a higher priority than the backups. Of course while we were troubleshooting it, checking everything we'd never see the screen saver so could not figure it out.

[@theoldman7739]

Great video on daily things with a hidden secret. You asked if we knew of any not mentioned. What about the Spaghetti Spoon? The hole in the center of the spoon (if it was made with a single hole) has a hidden use. Putting your typical dried spaghetti into the hole until no more can be put in the hole without breaking the pieces. Is the recommended amount for one serving of spaghetti.

When my Ex and I were first married, she threw a fit when we went on our first shopping trip together. I checked the eggs on the top AND the bottom to ensure NONE were broken. She informed me that the bottoms of the eggs can NOT break, and you only need to check the tops. She grabbed a dozen eggs, and checked them and off we went. We got home and nearly every egg was broken on the bottom. GOT TO LOVE the impeccable timing of irony!

About screen savers: my favorite was a huge group of screen savers called, "After Dark." Whoever came up with these different screen savers was amazing! At least two were even interactive. One was the rat race; and the other was a trivia style game show with cartoon players. The host was a cartoon soft hammer and when one got a question wrong, he'd bash them over the head. After three bashes, they were eliminated. My favorite was one called, Bad Dog. It had a little dog come running around the screen to do something like knock over the trash can. Then a man's voice would say, "bad dog!" Then the dog would whimper and his cheeks would turn red as he'd slink away.

10:00 one thing you didn't mention. On the ba k of playing cards, youll notice that the white bar along the edge of the design is a little wider on one side than the other. You don't need a special deck of cards. Every single deck is like this. No idea why when they are supposed to look the same, but this does let you know if a card has been flipped. A neat magic trick that never fails to fool people is to lay out 9 cards in a box. As setup, you will have already made sure all 9 are facing the same way. Place all 9 facedown, walk away where you can't see and have your victim flip any 1 card 180°. Tell them they can also shuffle the cards around so you wont be able to just see one that had been moved. All you have to do then is look for which ever card has a wider bar on the wrong side. That's the flipped one. No one has ever figured this one out when I've done it. I even had one guy say I must have cheated an saw or something, so I layed out 5 rows of 5 cards (25 cards) and told them to flip any 3. Easily picked out all 3 without fail. Did that a couple time before HE tried to cheat and flip 4 lol. Still named all 4 that were flipped.

As someone who was formerly a fleet engineer with a city bus company, I can confirm the bus seat upholstery pattern information, though the main reason for the patterning is to hide graffiti, and particularly "tags," which attract more tags. If the tags aren't noticeable, they don't get counter-tagged (with subsequent escalation of graffiti), and those who try to tag the upholstery soon learn that there's no point in bothering because it doesn't really show up for others to see.

Here's one. Have you noticed that all the letters of the word "TYPEWRITER" are in the top row of your keyboard? This is so that typewriter salesmen could demonstrate how fast one could potentially write by quickly sticking "typewriter" at the top of the page. Also the keys were scrambled specifically to slow your typing down to prevent the keys from jamming.

For some years I lived and worked on a small ranch. Through that time we had six or seven Indian Runner Ducks, odd-looking but sweet. They had the look of a bowling pin with a beak, and a couple of beady eyes. They were poor flyers. They spent their days foraging through the tall grasses, eating bugs, and swimming in their pond. Before retiring for the night they also ate a daily treat of Purina Duck Chow. Each afternoon they returned to the safety of a Cage made of sections of hurricane fencing around a warm straw-filled hutch.This kept them safe from raccoons and other predators that could scale the 10-foot Deer fences. Their eggs were the BEST-tasting eggs I ever came across anywhere before or since.

Growing up (and even now) my Mom called runny eggs "bloody" eggs. I thought the red on the yolk meant that the egg had been fertilized. Silly because- of course they aren't, but you hear something in your youth and it sticks until you hear otherwise and I just did.

Yea I was told if the eggs had those you could still throw them in an incubator from your fridge and it can still hatch 🐣

[@williamromine5715]

Same here. Mom would throw them away. I never could figure out how they got fertilized, since there are no roosters in modern egg production. My mom was raised on a farm where they did have roosters, so she might have been right then.

[@JackDrinkn2DollarJim]

I doubt they throw out those eggs. Military and government food programs get lots of eggs in milk cartons to just pour on the pans for scrambled eggs.

About eggs if you don't wash them when they are first laid, you don't have to refrigerated them and they won't go bad.

[@nobody7817]

There's a LOT more to it than that. In Europe they vaccinate the chickens against salmonella; and the likelihood of infection is low. As a result, refrigeration is not needed; also chicken meat lasts longer on shelf life too. In the US, they do NOT vaccinate the chickens and the likelihood of eggs containing salmonella approaches 100%; and therefore they DO require refrigeration.

[@dog-gone-it5944]

I actually have chickens and didn't know that about red spots. I think my mom told me when I was a kid that meant they were fertilized. Never gave it much thought after that. Plus, I always avoided the green gummies because I don't like lime. My favorite was always strawberry..the jokes on me! I'm not much of a gummy girl anyway.

Flush once it's stopped bubbeling , the film on top is bacteria etc , ready to flush - the bugs are all dead .

My toaster has a funny smell, even when it was new out of the box. The one before that was made in 1972, wouldn't always pop up. it nearly caught the cabinets above on fire.

[@pickleballer1729]

Question for your electrical engineers out there: I never imagined a toaster has a capacitor in it, and while I'm careful about never inserting anything in a plugged-in toaster, much less one actually operating, I've always assumed that once unplugged it would be safe to fish some bread out of the bottom of the toaster with a knife. Does the fact that there's a capacitor in it make that practice unsafe? Could I be shocked by an unplugged toaster?

[@tammyrawdon3587]

While I'm not an electrical engineer, they're made to be as safe as possible (to avoid lawsuits, if nothing else), and you have to work really hard to get shocked by one (from what I understand)... like being all wet & standing in a puddle of water while jamming a metal utensil in it while it's in use.

[@heather2570]

the toaster numbers, we where always told it meant how dark you wanted the toast. not how many minutes or resistance, just how dark the toast well be. 1 was light, and the highest number was the darkest.

[@catladyfromky4142]

In practical terms, you are correct. But, in the true electrical sense, it is actually the resistance. In the grand scheme of things, both are the same because they produce the same result. But, for the toaster itself, it is the resistance.

[@nobody7817]

@@catladyfromky4142 I doubt that seriously. 1 what? 1 ohm would be a near short and would cause the breakers in the house to snap open (or fuses to blow, depending on how old your house is). Even 10 ohms would pull a current of 12 amps. Most breakers will snap at 12 amps. (A 15 amp breaker can only handle a sustained current of 80% of its rated value). So, if it were the ONLY thing on the breaker, it would STILL cause the breaker to open. If set to 1, that's 120 amps (P=IV 14,400 watts)... lol the fire department would just watch as your house melted into the earth...

[@iliketowatch.]

(1:49) So-called "air fresheners" are a complete toxic rip-off. If you want your house to smell good: 1. Keep it clean (floors, walls, bedding, toilets, etc.). 2. Don't let garbage pile up (take it out daily). 3. Cook smelly food outside, if possible. (BBQ fish 🤤) 4. Clean up after pets promptly (inc. litter boxes). 5. Keep air circulating throughout your house with open windows and fans. 6. Don't do things that make your house smell bad (smoking, vomiting, farting, etc.). 7. Bake bread and cookies often. Don't spray chemicals into the air that interfere with your body's natural ability to detect odors that are bad for you.

Actually, the Oreo thing has more to it. Nabisco, Oreos parent company was purchased by R. J. Reynolds and Phillip Morris (Big Tobacco Companies) in 1980 in an effort to incorporate its "flavors" (flavor country) into the food we eat, making processed foods flavorful and addictive. Nabisco was not the only food company they purchased. Kraft, General foods, Kool-Aid, Tang, and Capri Sun are just some of the others they purchased. The double cross was added as a masonic symbol, and wouldn't you know, big tobacco and freemasonry both wash their hands in secrets.

1:37 - that dust is mostly the foam cushion inside breaking down and exiting through the moquette. 2:30 that round bottom is the end of a pressure vessel, just like the [rear] pressure bulkhead of an airplane. 3:36 with the sharper arc angle, more pressure is required to blow out the shape: once you get a balloon going it is easier to blow more air into and expand the larger balloon; fill two [same] balloons to different volumes, put the necks together and the less filled balloon will empty into the more filled balloon.
