Fun Trivia & Tidbits (1–10)
If you store a plastic bottle upside down, the carbonation escapes less easily.
If you want to keep the carbonation in a plastic bottle from escaping as much as possible, I recommend storing the bottle upside down.
The reason this helps is that the carbon dioxide tends to stay dissolved in the liquid more easily.
By turning the bottle upside down, the gas gathers around the cap, making it less likely to escape when you open and close it.
In addition, the pressure of the liquid helps seal the cap more tightly, which also prevents gas leaks.
This is a useful idea when you plan to store a carbonated plastic bottle for an extended period.
Even if you sprinkle sugar on a slug, it shrivels.
Slugs are probably quite the nemesis, especially for people who keep home gardens.
They show up out of nowhere—those pesky creatures—and you have to deal with them every day.
A well-known method for handling slugs is to sprinkle salt on them, but what happens if you use sugar instead? In fact, that can also drive slugs away.
The key result is “drawing out moisture through osmotic pressure,” and that phenomenon occurs with both salt and sugar.
The parts of the body wiped with antibacterial tissues are less likely to be bitten by insects.
One pesky problem that comes with the hot season is bug bites.
Getting bitten by mosquitoes while you sleep and waking up from the itch, or getting bitten during outdoor activities and not being able to focus—so annoying, right? As a countermeasure, we recommend wiping your body with sanitizing wipes.
Mosquitoes are attracted by “color,” “carbon dioxide,” and “odor.” The reason your feet and neck often get bitten is often due to the sweaty, muggy smell.
So wiping exposed skin with sanitizing wipes is an effective strategy.
The ornamental plant placed in the bank is 170 cm tall.
When you go to a bank, you often see potted plants placed near the entrances and exits, don’t you? They’re there to improve the atmosphere inside the bank and to soothe both the employees working there and the visitors.
There’s another reason as well: they serve as a reference to help remember a robber’s height if a bank robbery occurs.
When a robbery happens, information about the suspect’s characteristics is needed.
Since height tends to be vague, the height of the plants helps estimate the suspect’s height.
For that reason, plants around 170 cm tall, or installations that end up around 150 to 180 cm in height, are considered suitable.
A can of tuna can become a lamp.
Tuna cans are not just about the tuna itself—the oil that fills the can is also a big feature.
Let’s focus on that oil and use it as fuel for a lamp.
Making a tuna can lamp is simple: punch a hole in the bottom of the can, insert a twisted piece of tissue paper as a wick, and once the oil has soaked in, light it.
Because it uses an open flame, you need to be careful about where you use it, but it can serve as a handy light source during power outages or outdoors.
Keep in mind that the smell of tuna will spread, so be sure to think carefully about the place and timing of its use.
