At Bright Side, we don’t believe in bullying at all, but we do believe that a little friendly laughter can resolve almost any situation. What do you think? 1. This …

At the moment, humanity makes about 300 million tons of plastic every year. And half of it is used only once (like bags and wrapping). Only 10% of it is recycled and the rest goes to garbage dumps and rivers. According to a recent study, 10 rivers (2 in Africa and 8 in Asia) transport 90% of all the plastic that ends up in oceans. The scale of pollution is awful and many of us don’t even realize how …

We are used to basing our decisions on certain facts about history that we learned in school or from books. But there are a lot of facts that few people know about that break the stereotypical knowledge about the past. For example, who would have thought that in the beginning of the 20th century children were medically treated with cocaine and that at first no one wanted …

Bright Side gathered 15 photos that will leave you feeling confused, to say the least. 15. Just imagine if it rains… 14. A refreshing cocktail 13. “That’s …

Amazing finds, coincidences and unusual things don’t happen that often. And it’s great to have a camera with you when something like this actually does take place. In this article, we will show you some photos where something truly interesting and amazing happens. Bright Side offers you to take a break from what you’re doing and look through these photos with us. …

You might agree that it’s always nice to find something interesting and unusual, something that you want to share with everyone. The people from this compilation accidentally found some really unusual things: a kettle in a strange shape, a forgotten fun fair ticket that is 108 years old, and even the tooth of a giant dead shark. Bright Side has collected 26 photographs of the amazing …

Dorothy Parker, a writer, once said, “If a man could understand what a woman is thinking about, he wouldn’t believe it anyway.” That’s why a psychotherapist from Saint-Petersburg Aglaya Dateshidze tried to squeeze all the thoughts that a woman has into a couple lines. Bright Side collected funny and ironic mini-stories that will help you understand the female soul a little better. 1. Once upon a time, there …

Many people think that their personality traits are something that they received at birth. While some people are born with a good sense of humor and a lot of charisma, others might lack these features and find it almost impossible to obtain them. Taking the positive personality traits we do have for granted, we don’t always consider ways to develop and improve our own character. Nevertheless, …

Sometimes just reading information using books and encyclopedias is so boring… Bright and unusual pictures can speak louder than words and tell us even more about the amazing and extraordinary things happening in the world.
