Despite ending its 10-year run in 2004, the ever-popular television sitcom Friends has managed to remain relevant and attract new viewers. Thanks to its availability on streaming services like Netflix, the show has found a new audience among viewers too young to enjoy it during its initial broadcast in 1994. Whether you’re a seasoned fan who has watched every episode countless times or a newcomer just starting to follow the gang’s adventures, there are undoubtedly some subtle details and Easter eggs in the show that you may have overlooked. So, test your Friend’s knowledge and see if you can spot these hidden gems!

Stealthy thieves

Let’s start with something simple. Genuine Friends fans will recognize Chandler and Joey’s dry-erase board that hangs on their door. They’d utilize it to leave each other messages or other meaningless information.

Joey and Chandler were robbed of all their belongings in The One With the Cat when Joey tried to sell his hand-built entertainment set. The burglars left a bold letter on the dry-erase board thanking the couple for everything.

The famous couch

Have you ever wondered why the group usually lounged on that sofa in Central Perk? Every day, many people come in, yet no matter how crowded the café gets, the couch is always available.

Looking closely, you’ll see a “Reserved” sign on the coffee table every time the pals gather there. They appear to have reserved the couch permanently! That’s why no one else has sat on it besides that one incident where the lads were bullied.

Ross’s natal day

As the program lasted ten seasons, we saw a lot of birthday parties for each of them. But how many people know when their birthdays are? While hundreds of episodes are written, continuity is sometimes vague.

For instance, when is Ross’s birthday? He informs Gunther in one episode that his birthday is in December. In another episode, though, he tells Joey that his birthday is October 18th. So, which is it? Was one of them improvised by David Schwimmer, who portrayed Ross?

Gladys’ attire

Remember Phoebe’s horrifying artwork, which she affectionately dubbed Gladys? She debuted in Season 10, Episode 6, The One With Ross’s Grant. Monica and Rachel argue over who will get the frightening artwork in the show.

Gladys changed her clothes several times in the show, as you can see. She was wearing red in one photo and blue in another. Friends’ clothing designers appear to have had more than simply the cast to an outfit!

Personality defects

The innate comedy of the Friends group, combined with the humor in writing, makes for hilarious situations. While we, as viewers, can laugh freely, the cast can’t always disguise their laughter during filming. This is visible in this scene.

Jennifer Aniston tries to keep a straight face in the background while Phoebe obnoxiously “Eeee”s to Ross’s bagpipe playing. She blatantly breaks character by giggling in an attempt to hide her face. Matt LeBlanc recently stated that if Jen concealed her face, she was breaking the surface!

An extended pregnancy

Later seasons chronicle Rachel’s unexpected pregnancy, caused by a story about trekking on Mount Tibidabo. But did anybody notice Rachel’s abnormally extended pregnancy? If you still need clarification, take a look at the timeline below.

Rachel becomes pregnant during Chandler and Monica’s wedding in the summer. Her due date would have been around February. On the other hand, Rachel complains about the heat in episode 22 of that season. We can deduce that it’s now summer, yet she’s still pregnant!

Sitcoms’ crossover

We all know that Phoebe has a nasty twin named Ursula. She appears several times during the show, only to wreak trouble and anguish for Phoebe. Ursula is seen waitressing in a restaurant visited by Joey and Chandler in an earlier season episode.

Many people are unaware that Lisa Kudrow was also working on the program Mad About You at the time when she portrayed waitress Ursula Buffay. The authors added Phoebe’s twin sister to the program to construct a compelling history. It was almost like a crossover!

Which flat is this?

Those with a keen eye for detail would note that Monica’s apartment number was sometimes different. It altered somewhere between seasons. Earlier episodes, as seen above, had the apartment door showing Apartment 5. This was eventually modified to 20.

While we don’t know why this unique alteration occurred, it was required. The view from Monica’s balcony suggests a high-rise apartment, which would have been absent from apartment number 5. Apartment 20 appears to be more suited for that perspective.

The duckling and the chick

Joey and Chandler’s avian buddies often appear in the program. They not only keep the two gentlemen company, but they also amuse themselves. They’ve even managed to sabotage Rachel and Joshua’s date once!

Nevertheless, as the seasons passed, they vanished without a trace. There was never any hint of Joey or Chandler revealing their identities. The fact that the chick and duck were “on a farm” was merely mentioned in passing.

Today is Rachel’s birthday.

As with Ross’s birthday consistency, the authors similarly screwed up Rachel’s birthday. We’re confident this was an honest error, as it’s difficult to remember the specifics of each character after ten years!

Rachel informs Gunther in one episode that her birthday is on May 5th. Yet, later in Season 7, when a cop stops Rachel, he tells her she is an Aquarius. We’re not astrological gurus, but we’re confident that May birthdays are Taurus!

The vegetable

In Central Perk, the pals had had their fill of cakes, scones, muffins, and cookies. The baked items appear to be equally as excellent as the coffee! But did you notice when the cake display didn’t show any cake?

Joey and Gunther speak over the counter in one of the episodes, with a cake display in between them. Yet, instead of a cake, there is only a raw potato under the cover! This was most likely one of the covert pranks they pulled on set.

Estelle’s talents are manifold.

Joey’s adored agent, Estelle Leonard, captured all of our hearts. Indeed, she’s not the finest agent and didn’t always get Joey the best jobs, but her aggressive attitude makes us all adore her.

June Gable, who portrayed Estelle, was a multi-talented actor. She took over more than simply Estelle’s position. She was also the fiery nurse that assisted Carol in giving birth to her and Ross’s child! Did you happen to notice it was her? Nothing beats hair and makeup for entirely changing an actor’s appearance!

Susan Sarandon’s hit

Incredibly, Susan Sarandon appeared in the famous TV show Friends episode “The One With Joey’s New Brain.” Sarandon played the role of Jessica Lockhart, whereas Joey also had a role. Jessica Lockhart was known for her aggressive personality, often slapping other characters on the show, making her quite an iconic figure among viewers.

What’s truly fascinating is that the person she pounded on the series was none other than her daughter, Eva Amurri, who coincidentally played the role of Sarandon’s character’s daughter as well. This incredible coincidence is sure to leave anyone’s mind spinning with amazement!

Chronology mess

Many flashback episodes have occurred over the seasons, allowing us to learn about the companions’ pasts. This includes Monica before her weight reduction and Rachel before her nose operation. But, there appears to be a chronological error, as we see Rachel meeting Chandler for the first time and many times.

Unless there’s a Friends universe we’re unaware of, the authors may forget what they’ve written. We can grasp this error after hundreds of experiences. Rachel initially met Chandler during Thanksgiving while they were all in college, and it appears to happen again in a later flashback episode.

Joey’s cash code

Although Joey has always been depicted as the less bright of the two friends, we believe he has more extraordinary street smarts. Joey has demonstrated this about himself on countless occasions. He dials Phoebe from here since he needs to remember his ATM PIN. As it turns out, 5639 is not a random sequence of integers.

When you look at a phone’s keypad from the 1990s, before the QWERTY keyboard, the letters 5639 spell out JOEY! It would have been a disaster if he had utilized this to help him remember his PIN.

Breaking Character: Part 2

It’s a well-known fact that the cast of Friends had terrific on-screen chemistry that made the show so special. Jennifer Aniston may have been known for breaking character and laughing during filming, but she wasn’t the only one. Matt LeBlanc, who played Joey, was also caught on camera struggling to maintain a straight face. One particular instance that comes to mind is in the episode “The One With the Worst Best Man Ever.” In this episode, Joey hides behind Ross, played by David Schwimmer, while trying to avoid someone.

Although Matt LeBlanc is almost out of frame in this scene, it’s impossible to ignore his struggle to stop laughing. And who can blame him? David Schwimmer’s impeccable comedic timing was genuinely hilarious in that scenario! Despite Matt’s visible struggle to contain his laughter, it’s surprising that Matthew Perry, who played Chandler, managed to keep a straight face throughout the scene. It’s a testament to his acting skills and how funny David Schwimmer can be! This is just one of the many instances that showcase the cast’s great dynamic and how they made Friends such an iconic show.

Ross’s ice cream musings

We can all agree that Ross is a lovely person with solid ideas. After all, he is a paleontologist and must be steadfast in his beliefs. Yet when it comes to ice cream, his opinions appear to be unstable.

Ross claims in Season 7 that he doesn’t like ice cream because “it’s too chilly.” Nonetheless, he is seen eating ice cream in several episodes before and after that. Character preferences like this are difficult to track, and if you’re not a detail person, you could overlook this contradiction.

How did they fund it?

Several people have criticized and questioned how the characters in Friends could afford to live in such luxury, given their professions. From the grandeur of their residences, you’d assume they’re all filthy prosperous 20-somethings in New York.

Monica rented her flat from her grandparents. People are curious about Phoebe’s living status. She can afford a luxurious massage parlor and an underpaid coffee shop singer! And it’s right in the heart of Greenwich Village.

Covert communication

Friends’ production staff would collaborate to put easter eggs in the sequences. This one is a little more precise, and if you’re unfamiliar with American Sign Language, you could have missed it. Take note of Ross’s clothing here.

It has an ASL design that says “friends.” When you think about it, it’s meta, but it’s so specific that nobody will comprehend it unless they know ASL. Even then, they’d miss it if they weren’t paying attention!

Rachel’s surname

Rachel’s full name is Rachel Karen Greene, as True Friends lovers would know. So how do you spell her surname? Audiences were made to believe it was spelled “Green” after the color. But an episode in a later season proved everyone incorrect!

As Ross and Emily argued over whether to invite Rachel to their wedding, we noticed Ross prepared to mail an invitation to Rachel. Rachel’s surname is spelled “Greene” with an “e” on the envelope. Was this an honest error, or have we been misled for decades?

Ross’s initial sighting?

Ross and Chandler have been closest friends since college, and they’ve shared and safeguarded each other’s secrets throughout the years. One of these mysteries concerns Ross’s first encounter. Carol was assumed to be Ross’s, first love. However, it was proven wrong in a later episode.

In Season 7, as the gang revealed one other’s secrets, Chandler revealed that Ross slept with the cleaning lady at their hostel. This would have happened in college before Carol and Ross began dating. After all, that wasn’t Carol!

A big family

Courteney Cox, who plays Monica, married actor David Arquette in June 1999. She adopted his surname, meaning her name on Friends’ credits also altered. The performance paid a touching homage to the couple’s marriage.

Instead of only adding “Arquette” to Courteney’s name, they also included it in the credits of all the other cast members! Many viewers may have been perplexed by this change. When we initially saw it, we believed it was a fault in our television!

It’s a kin matter

Remember when Rachel and Joshua visited Joshua’s parents’ house because they assumed his parents were in Europe? Rachel had an embarrassing situation since she wore lingerie to dinner. Yet it wasn’t what made the show so memorable.

Joshua’s parents arrived midway through their date and couldn’t have been nicer. But did you notice anything unusual about Joshua’s father? That is, in fact, Matthew Perry’s father, John Bennett Perry! Both father and son are lovely and gorgeous, much like their father.

Who is the person on Rachel’s passport?

While props are necessary for a show’s credibility, they must also be correct. Otherwise, people may have difficulty believing the account. This was, unfortunately, the situation in the episode where Rachel was preparing to go to France.

She delivers her passport to the airport employee at the counter. But have you noticed anything? It’s one of those “blinks, and you’ll miss it” moments, but the woman on her passport is not her! Whose passport did she even give up?

Joey’s long-running commercial

Joey appears on a VD poster in episode 9 of season 1 and endures the consequences of being rejected by his family around Thanksgiving. He couldn’t even pick up a female at the station since the signs were everywhere.

Unfortunately, this was not the only episode in which Joey’s VD posters appeared. The posters may be seen outside on the streets in the subsequent episodes. That wouldn’t make sense if the indications appeared for a day and vanished.

FDNY Commemoration

Friends aired for ten seasons, during which various tragic world events occurred, the most devastating of which was the 9/11 attacks. The show couldn’t stay silent any longer, so they paid tribute in the only way they knew how: with Easter eggs.

The show’s creators would place easter eggs of the FDNY insignia in the scenes as a tribute to the New York City Fire Department, which sacrificed their lives to save victims in the towers that day. This is seen on Joey’s shirt and the dry-erase board at Chandler and Joey’s.

Twice the trouble

Even though Friends is not an action show, the cast members have body doubles on set. This is generally used for post-production, and it’s a frequent technique. But, even with editing, they occasionally fail to entirely create the illusion.

You can see Courteney Cox over Lisa Kudrow’s shoulder in this sequence of images. Yet as the vision shifts to Monica’s perspective, you know it’s not Courteney Cox! Were you aware of this or too engrossed in action to notice?

Huggsys from all across the world

Huggsy, Joey’s beloved penguin doll, first appeared in season 9 after Rachel’s daughter Emma formed an unhealthy attachment to it. Huggsy, on the other hand, isn’t a newcomer to that season. He’s been around for a long if you’ve noticed.

Huggsy may be seen in the background of numerous shots at Joey’s apartment in past seasons. Check him out here, relaxing on the couch behind Monica. Joey has always had a thing for that penguin.

Another family affair

Matthew Perry’s father was not the only one that appeared on the show. They also incorporated Jennifer Aniston’s personal life data as an Easter egg in the show. Did you know that Jennifer Aniston’s surname isn’t “Aniston”?

This is Anastassakis! If it sounds familiar, it’s because Monica and Chandler’s wedding coincided. The actress’s father had a Greek surname that was eventually anglicized as “Aniston.” That’s how the show hinted at it.

Rachel twice

Courteney Cox wasn’t the only cast member who had a body duplicate. Jennifer Aniston has one as well. Unfortunately, like with Courteney’s copy, they neglected to correctly remove the double from the photo! Did you get this one?

In season 9, we swap shots and find that someone else has replaced Jen Aniston! Did you notice this? In this photo, they didn’t even bother to get the double to wear the same attire. Perhaps this is the woman seen in Rachel’s passport!

The crack in the wall

Friends was a comedy that aired in the 1990s. Hence it was shown in the 4:3 aspect ratio that was common on most TV screens at the time. But, when televisions grew in size and display quality, viewers began to discover set secrets that they had previously missed because of the outdated aspect ratio.

We have a whole perspective of what was on set in today’s period when televisions have an aspect ratio of 16:9. As we can see here, there is a previously unseen hole in Joey and Chandler’s apartment wall!

Monica’s packages

In the episode where Joey gets cast as Al Pacino’s body duplicate, the following information is only visible to those with keen eyes. A mound of boxes can be seen behind the director on the set while Joey films his part. “Monica’s” is written on one of them.

We have no idea how this box got here. This appears to be the box wrecked by the water when Ross and Monica returned home to collect their belongings from their parent’s house. What exactly was this box doing here?

The image of the laundry

Who can forget Joey’s frantic attempt to get his image on the wall of his neighborhood laundry? He disagreed with the dry cleaner for his spot on the border of fame, even bringing up the film Air Force One.

The dry cleaner confessed he’d never watched the movie. What’s ironic about this is that the actor who portrayed the dry cleaner also worked on Air Force One! Ilia Volok is a Ukrainian actor who has acted in several films.

Cameo appearances

Friends have had their fair share of cameo appearances. The star-studded cast has collaborated with Hollywood A-listers from the period. From Julia Roberts to Reese Witherspoon to Bruce Willis, everyone has been on Friends at some point. (Bruce, we adore you!)

Occasionally the cameos may be relevant to the characters yet go entirely unnoticed. We know, for example, that Ross and Joey were huge Die Hard fans. Nobody noticed when Bruce Willis played Elizabeth’s father in the episode.

What happened to Phoebe’s mother?

Phoebe’s original mother is revealed to be Lily Buffay’s Best Friend, Phoebe Abbott, in Season 3. This threw a kink in Phoebe’s history, and she was so distraught that she refused to visit her “mother,” Phoebe Abbott, again.

Nevertheless, she is never mentioned again until one of the episodes, when Phoebe states her mother gave her a family relic. It appears that the two reconciled, although what happened to Phoebe Abbott was never revealed.

Ross, how old are you?

In addition to the uncertainty regarding Ross’s birthdate, there is also uncertainty concerning his age. We all know our Friends are in their twenties, and we even follow a handful of them as they approach their thirties. So what is Ross’s age?

Ross declines Chandler’s excellent milkshake offer in Season 3 with the excuse, “No thanks, I’m 29.” Yet, Ross protests two seasons later that he does not want to get divorced twice before 30. Was he 29 for three years?

Chandler may very well cry in this one.

Chandler is the snarky one among the six pals. He utilizes comedy as a defensive technique, and his terrible history prevents him from displaying vulnerable feelings. Even an episode named The One When Chandler Can’t Cry exists.

Nonetheless, as seen by these few screenshots, Chandler is emotionally aware. He’s been observed weeping and not trying to disguise it on multiple occasions. Despite declaring that he is “not a sobbing sort of person.” We’re calling your bluff, Chandler!

The capuchin monkey

Friends aren’t complete without mentioning Ross’s pet capuchin, Marcel. Much like Marcel caused problems for the people on the program, the actual capuchin that played Marcel caused problems for David Schwimmer while shooting. The monkey would cause havoc and throw off the funny timing.

Despite everything, you can’t deny that you sensed Ross’s concern for Marcel throughout the series. Did you notice that Ross was sporting a banana-shaped lapel pin when the cast sent Marcel off to the zoo?

Chandler and the toilet door

One of the most memorable Friends episodes has Julia Roberts as Susie, Chandler’s former classmate whom she formerly harassed. A bathroom tryst goes bad when Chandler is played, leaving him nude in the men’s restroom.

Or, allegedly, completely nude. Chandler was supposed to be wearing Susie’s underpants, but it doesn’t explain how he could leave the restaurant unscathed. Even the bathroom door, underwear or not, would not have concealed him entirely!

Monica’s wardrobe

As we all know, Monica has a closet down the hall from the restroom. It’s permanently closed and never really had a function, except in one episode when the pals are curious about what’s behind that door. But have you noticed the shadow?

The door constantly casts an odd shadow on the floor. Because this was set in a studio, we assume the shadow was created by lighting equipment just behind that door. But who can say? Perhaps Monica had been concealing Richard there all along.

The rise of internet access worldwide has made fake news and misinformation travel faster than ever. The more sensational the claim, the quicker it spreads, captivating the attention of more people. Sadly, most of these claims turn out to be false. This is the reason why people are apprehensive when it comes to seeking solutions online. It’s not easy to find credible websites and fact-check every piece of information you come across when you need help. Nonetheless, some of those bizarre and amusing hacks can prove to be surprisingly effective. In this article, we present 45 mind-blowing hacks that actually work. These hacks are not only easy to learn but are also incredibly useful in solving everyday problems. If you’re keen on learning something new that will make your life easier, then you’re in the right place. So keep scrolling, and let’s get started!

Remembering Names: 

If you find it difficult to remember people’s names, rest assured that you’re not the only one. For many people, it can be awkward and uncomfortable when they can’t recall someone’s name, especially in the middle of a conversation. Fortunately, there is a simple yet effective hack you can use to avoid this problem. The next time you forget someone’s name, try asking them about their last name instead of their first name. 

This will give them the impression that you are interested in their family or background rather than just trying to remember their name. When they repeat their last name, make a conscious effort to remember it. This trick can work wonders, but be careful not to use it more than once per person. Otherwise, it might become obvious that you’re struggling to remember their name. With a little practice, you’ll soon become a pro at remembering people’s names, even in the most challenging situations.

Ginger for Health: 

Ginger is a natural remedy to treat a variety of ailments. If you feel yourself coming down with the flu or a cold, add some ginger to your tea. Its anti-oxidative and anti-inflammatory properties work wonders when you’re feeling down. 

Additionally, ginger is a fantastic cure for nausea. Whether you feel hungover or you’ve eaten something that didn’t sit well with you, mix some ginger with a nice beverage like lemonade, tea, or hot lemon water. Candied ginger is a great option if you’re on the go.

Wear a Helmet: 

When working in high places, safety is paramount. If you are working on your roof or climbing a tall ladder, wear a bike helmet. 

A helmet will provide necessary protection if you fall or if something falls on you. Additionally, wearing a bike helmet when you ride a bike is a good idea too.

Roach Be Gone: 

Dealing with a roach infestation can be frustrating, but there is an affordable and effective way to get rid of them. Simply mix water with a bit of liquid dish soap, and voila! 

Shake the bottle to get the mixture ready and foamy, and spray away. Bugs will run around like crazy, but not for long, as they will soon suffocate under the soapy film.

Taking it Easy: Embracing the Art of Doing the Bare Minimum

If you’re someone who has trouble giving 100% or beating yourself up over not trying your best at work, don’t worry. We’ve all been there. Remember that you’re there to earn a living and support yourself. It’s okay not to pour your heart and soul into something that doesn’t bring you joy or happiness. 

Overworking can lead to stress, anxiety, and fatigue, and you shouldn’t feel guilty for valuing your mental and emotional health. For those self-proclaimed life gurus who push the message of giving it your all, let people do the bare minimum and enjoy it!

To avoid ad breaks, simply scroll to the end of the video and restart it. This will skip over any ads that might disrupt your dance session in front of the bedroom mirror or your vocal solo in the shower.

Keep Your Cool: How to Stop Engine Overheating in Its Tracks

You’ve probably experienced the panic of an overheating engine at least once. We have a simple trick for you! The next time your engine starts to overheat, turn on the heat in your car at full blast. 

This may sound counterintuitive, but it works. By turning on the heat, you’re pulling heat away from the engine and into the cab of the car, causing the engine to cool down. 

Polyglot Secrets: Learning the Language of Courtesy

For those passionate about traveling and exploring new cultures, traditions, and languages, this hack is for you! While it works for everyone, it’s especially useful for frequent travelers. If you find yourself in a country where you don’t know the language, start by learning the words “please” and “thank you.”

These two simple words will take you a long way, especially if you’re naturally charismatic or extroverted. The key is to get people to notice you and want to help you. Then, as you go, you can continue to learn the language.

Get Attention from Zoo Animals with This Easy Trick

Say Goodbye to Post-Shower Shivers with This Simple Hack

One of the worst feelings is leaving a hot, steamy shower or bath only to be met with cold air and shivers. But fear not. There’s a simple hack to make your post-shower experience more comfortable.

Stop the Tears! A Simple Onion Hack You Need to Try

Life is full of challenges, and some of them are more annoying than others. For example, cooking can be an enjoyable activity, but when it comes to chopping onions, it’s a whole different story.

All you have to do is heat the back of a spoon with hot water and then apply it to the mosquito bite. The heat from the spoon will help to relieve the itching and make the bite less uncomfortable.

Stay Curious and Keep Going

When life gets tough, it’s easy to lose hope and give up. However, instead of dwelling on negative feelings, it’s important to stay curious and open-minded. Curiosity is a powerful tool that can help you learn more, try new things, and keep your mind engaged. 

By staying curious, you’ll be able to explore new opportunities and keep your spirit alive, even during the toughest of times.

Stop the Coughing! Lift Your Hands for Instant Relief

Coughing can be an uncomfortable and often embarrassing experience, particularly when you find yourself in a public setting.

It’s important to know how to perform basic first aid on yourself in case of an emergency. Choking on food is a common occurrence, and if you ever find yourself alone and in need of assistance, you can perform the Heimlich maneuver on yourself using a chair or countertop. 

By pressing on the right spot under your rib cage, you can dislodge any food that may be stuck in your throat and save yourself from a potentially life-threatening situation.

Revamping Your Old Kitchen and Bathroom Appliances 

Tired of staring at the same old, rusty kitchen or bathroom appliances? Don’t give up on them just yet! Instead, try this simple hack that will make them look brand new.

Crayons to the Rescue

Add a touch of creativity to your dinner or create a fun atmosphere for your children. Not only is it easy and affordable, but it’s also a great way to repurpose something you already have in your home. 

So, the next time you forget to buy candles, don’t fret! Just grab some crayons and enjoy the warm and cozy glow they provide. Your partner or children will surely be impressed with your resourcefulness and creativity.

Handling a Dog Bite 

It’s important to note that prevention is key when it comes to dog bites. Never approach an unfamiliar dog, especially if it is growling or barking. Additionally, don’t make direct eye contact with a dog, as this can be perceived as a threat. If a dog does attack, try to remain as still as possible and avoid making sudden movements. Yelling or running away may cause the dog to become more aggressive.

Seek medical attention immediately. Even if the wound seems minor, there is a risk of infection. Report the incident to animal control, as they can help to identify the dog and ensure that it is properly vaccinated. Remember, it’s important to treat dogs with respect and caution, even if they seem friendly. By following these tips, you can help to prevent dog bites and ensure your safety around these beloved animals.

Hydrate to Prevent Hangovers 

Drinking alcohol can be enjoyable, but the aftermath of a hangover can be brutal. Luckily, there is a simple hack to prevent the unpleasant symptoms of a hangover. After consuming alcohol, follow it up with a glass of water. This will help to keep you hydrated and minimize the severity of your hangover the next day.

It’s important to note that water is essential not just for hangover prevention but also for overall health. The human body is made up of 60% water, and it is vital for bodily functions. When consuming alcohol, it’s especially important to drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration, which can exacerbate the effects of alcohol and contribute to a worse hangover. So, the next time you plan to drink, make sure to prioritize your water intake alongside your alcohol consumption to keep yourself feeling refreshed and avoid the dreaded hangover.

Erase Permanent Marker with Dry Erase Marker

If you’re a busy student or a parent juggling multiple responsibilities, you know the importance of staying organized. Whiteboards are a great tool for keeping track of your to-do list, deadlines, or ideas. However, it can be frustrating when you accidentally write with a permanent marker instead of an erasable one. Fortunately, we have a hack for that!

All you need to do is grab a dry-erase marker and go over the permanent marker writing. When you erase the marker, the permanent ink will come off with it, leaving your whiteboard clean and ready to use again. It may seem like magic, but it’s actually due to the chemical properties of the two types of markers. So next time you accidentally use a permanent marker, don’t fret. Just grab a dry-erase marker and get erasing!

Eliminate Chili Pepper Residue

Have you ever experienced that stinging sensation on your hands after cutting jalapenos or other spicy peppers? It’s a common problem for many home cooks, and it can be particularly frustrating as the burning sensation can linger for hours. However, fear not! There’s a simple solution to this problem that you may not have considered before.

Rubbing your hands with vegetable oil or any other cooking oil is an effective way to get rid of that awful sensation that comes with handling spicy peppers.

Add Salt to Coffee

Let’s talk about coffee. For many of us, it’s a necessary part of our morning routine. It wakes us up and gives us the energy we need to tackle the day ahead. But what if the coffee you get at your favorite cafe or restaurant is just too bitter for your liking? Adding sugar might seem like the obvious solution, but there’s actually a better way to balance out the bitterness.

Believe it or not, a pinch of salt can do wonders for your coffee. The salt helps to counteract the bitterness, making the coffee taste smoother and less harsh. This might sound counterintuitive, but it’s actually a common trick used by professional baristas. So next time you find yourself faced with a bitter cup of coffee, don’t reach for the sugar. Instead, try adding a tiny pinch of salt and see if it makes a difference.

Prevent Paint Lids from Sticking

House renovations can be a daunting task, but it’s all worth it. However, the cleanup process can be quite a hassle, especially when it comes to disposing of used supplies and leftover paint. One common issue is the paint sticking to the lid of the bucket, making it hard to reopen it in the future.

But worry not. There is a simple hack that can save you from this hassle. Before closing the lid on the paint bucket, place a piece of saran wrap on top of the paint. Make sure that the paint on the lid has dried before placing the wrap. This trick creates a barrier between the paint and the lid, preventing them from sticking together. The next time you need to reopen the paint bucket, simply peel off the saran wrap, and voila! You’re good to go.

Rock Your Way to Easy Digestion

Constipation can come from fiber in your diet, dehydration, or a sedentary lifestyle. While there are several remedies for constipation, including medication, herbal teas, and probiotics, they often take time to work and don’t always provide immediate relief.

If you’re feeling constipated and need fast relief, try rocking back and forth the next time you’re on the toilet. This simple hack can help stimulate the muscles in your lower abdomen, making it easier to pass stool. You can also try squatting or placing a stool under your feet to elevate your knees, which can help to put your body in a more natural position for bowel movements. With these tips, you can get relief from constipation without resorting to medication or other drastic measures.

Teach Your Pet to React to Smoke Alarms

If you’re a pet owner, we know how much your furry friend means to you. However, in some instances, they can be in danger and unable to help themselves. For example, in case of a fire in the house, it can be challenging to retrieve your pet. They may panic and hide or run away, making it difficult for you to find them.

But there’s a simple hack that can help ensure your pet’s safety. Next time you accidentally activate your smoke alarm, give your pets a treat. Over time, this can create a form of classical conditioning where your pets learn to associate the sound of the smoke alarm with a treat and seek you out. This way, you can safely exit the building in case of emergency and have peace of mind knowing that your pet is following you.

According to Gavin DeBecker’s book The Gift of Fear, women who ask for help are safer than those who wait for it. It’s important to remember that asking for help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

Tearless Cooking with Frozen Onions

Chopping onions is a task that most people dread because of the tears it brings. However, with a simple hack, this can be a tearless experience. Before you start chopping, put the onions in the freezer for ten minutes. Freezing the juices in the onion helps to reduce the amount of gas released during cutting, which in turn reduces tearing.

Save 10% and Win at Life

It’s always a good idea to prioritize saving for yourself, and one way to do that is by taking 10% of your monthly income and putting it into a separate bank account. By doing so, you can build up a nice amount of savings that you can use for unexpected emergencies or future goals.

In addition to being useful for emergencies, this savings strategy can also be a perfect opportunity to save for something big that you’ve always wanted. Whether buying a house, an apartment, a car, or a brand new computer or iPhone 13 pro max, setting aside a portion of your monthly income can help you achieve your dreams. Remember, by paying yourself first, you’re investing in your future and taking control of your financial well-being.

Use Your Turn Signal and Drive Responsibly 

Using your turn signal while driving may seem like common sense, but it’s surprising how many drivers neglect to do so. Not only is it illegal to fail to use your turn signal, but it can also be extremely dangerous. When you don’t use your turn signal, you leave other drivers guessing about where you’re headed, which can result in accidents and even fatalities.

Using your turn signal is a basic rule of the road and should be a habit for every driver. Not only does it help prevent accidents, but it also promotes safer driving for everyone on the road. So, the next time you’re driving, make sure to use your turn signal to indicate your intentions, whether you’re changing lanes, turning at an intersection, or merging onto the highway. It’s a small action that can make a big difference in ensuring safe and responsible driving.

Math Made Easy: Reversible Percentages

Teach Your Little Ones to Ride: Start with a Balance Bike 

There is an easier way to guide kids to learn how to ride a two-wheeler. By introducing them to a small balance bike without pedals at a young age, parents can gradually help their children develop the balance and coordination necessary for riding a bike with pedals.

This technique should be started when a child is between the ages of 2 and 3. Most children will quickly pick up on how to maneuver the little bike without pedals, and as they become more comfortable, they will naturally start to lift their feet off the ground and balance on two wheels. Once they have mastered this balance, they will be fully ready to transition to a real bike with pedals, and the process of learning to ride will be much easier and less intimidating for them.

Relax and De-stress: Wiggle Your Toes 

Anxiety and panic attacks are common issues among millennials and Gen Z. The stress of modern life has taken a toll on our mental health, and many of us struggle to cope with daily challenges. However, there is a simple and effective solution for those who experience these feelings frequently – wiggle your toes. While it may seem strange, this hack works wonders.

Our brains have a limited capacity for attention, and focusing on wiggling our toes takes away from our ability to concentrate on stressors. It’s a quick and easy way to break the cycle of anxiety and feel more in control of your emotions. Plus, it can be a humorous distraction in stressful situations, like a job interview or meeting.

Stay Cool in the Heat: Apply Ice to Your Wrists 

As much as we love summer and all the outdoor activities it offers, we cannot deny that the heat can be unbearable at times. Sweating profusely, feeling sticky and uncomfortable, and constantly searching for ways to cool down can make summer days quite challenging, especially if you’re someone who overheats easily. Fortunately, we have a hack that can help you stay cool and comfortable during those hot days.

This hack is simple yet effective, and it’s often overlooked. All you need to do is apply cold water or ice cubes to the inside of your wrists, and you’ll feel refreshed and cooled down in no time. By targeting the areas near your pulse points, you’re taking advantage of your body’s biology to regulate your temperature and cool you down. This hack is not only easy to do but also convenient, as you can use it anytime, anywhere, and with no special equipment required. So, next time you’re feeling hot and bothered, give this hack a try and enjoy the instant relief it provides.

Revamp Your Decision-Making: Sleep it Off! 

Making big decisions can be tough, especially when you’re feeling tired and worn out after a long day. But did you know that your brain works best in the morning? That’s right. Research has shown that our brains are at their sharpest and most alert in the early hours of the day. This means that if you’re faced with an important decision late at night, it’s best to hold off and revisit it in the morning when your mind is fresh and focused.

By waiting until the morning, you give yourself time to rest and recharge, and you allow your brain to process and analyze the situation more effectively. This can save you from making impulsive decisions that you may regret later on. So, before you decide to make that big move, take a step back, get a good night’s sleep, and approach the decision with a clear head and a fresh perspective in the morning.

Nail Polish to the Rescue: Remove Permanent Marker with Ease 

If you’ve accidentally used a permanent marker on your skin, it can be quite frustrating to try and remove it. But fear not, there’s a simple solution – nail polish. Applying some nail polish over the marker and rubbing gently will easily remove it from your skin. It’s a clever hack that can save you from the embarrassment of walking around with a permanent marker on your skin all day.

And the nail polish hack doesn’t just apply to accidental marker mishaps. It can also be used to play practical jokes with your friends. If someone draws an inappropriate doodle on your face while you’re sleeping, instead of getting angry, you can have some fun with it. Simply grab some nail polish and remove the drawing from your face. The culprit will be left confused and hopefully learn their lesson not to mess with you while you sleep. It’s a great way to turn an awkward situation into a playful one.

Makeup Remover for More than Just Your Face 

Makeup remover is an incredibly versatile product that is not just limited to removing makeup from your face. Its ability to clean and disinfect makes it an excellent tool to have in your household for a wide range of cleaning tasks. 

It’s a common problem that many of us have faced – deodorant stains that just won’t come out no matter how hard you scrub. But the solution is simple – just apply a little makeup remover to the stain and rub gently. The makeup remover will work its magic and remove the stain, leaving your shirt looking fresh and clean. So, the next time you’re struggling to get rid of those pesky deodorant stains, give makeup remover a try and see the difference for yourself!

Mental Magic: Sleep for Your Mental Health 

Sleep is a precious commodity that many of us cherish and rely on for our overall well-being. You don’t actually need to sleep to get the appropriate amount of rest. While it’s true that sleep is essential for many bodily functions, recent studies have shown that restful wakefulness can also provide restorative benefits for both the mind and body.

The magic number of eight hours of sleep per night has been touted as the ideal amount of rest for many years, but it’s important to remember that everyone’s sleep needs are different. So next time you find yourself struggling to fall asleep or feeling guilty for spending too much time in bed, remember that restful wakefulness can also be a valuable tool for recharging your mental and physical batteries.

Plus, it’s a great way to reduce food waste and get the most out of your meals. So next time you have leftovers, try this hack and enjoy a meal that tastes just as good as the original.

In recent years, Japan has become a cultural center and a place for those who love history, food, art, music, and more! As a result, many foreigners have chosen the country to reside in or vacation in. However, Japan has a set of traditions and cultural values that are unusual and foreign to Westerners. As such, making social or social mistakes without knowing it is possible. Here are some tips to avoid embarrassing yourself when arriving in the land of the rising sun.

A new meaning of Christmas

In the West, Christmas is a public holiday celebrated by everyone. This is a time for presents, Christmas trees, presents, singing carols, and more. However, in Japan, holidays are not treated as such. Christmas is celebrated in Japan, but mainly for couples. They will go out to dinner on Christmas Eve and have a romantic activity the next day. 

Slippers in the bathroom

In Japan, special slippers are worn when going to the toilet. These slippers can be shared. After using the slippers, you need to return them to their original position and location in which they were found. Failure to do so can disrespect the host or embarrass guests if they forget to remove their slippers before leaving the bathroom.

Four is an unlucky number.

Like the number thirteen in Western circles, the number “four” is taboo in Japan. This number is banned mainly because it sounds like the word for death. For visiting expats, you must not give anything in sets of four, as this will be seen as disrespectful and a bad omen.

Never give tips

In the West, tipping is a way to show someone they’ve done their best to serve. However, in Japan, tipping is an insult, if not outright humiliation. The Japanese believe that hard work is essential, so everything counts towards the cost of service. If you leave a tip, workers will return the money. 

Don’t dance at nightclubs.

This can be one of the most complex problems for ex-pats, as nightclubs are almost synonymous with dancing for them. However, in Japan, dancing is strictly prohibited in lounges. Nightclubs help reinforce this rule by posting polite signs asking those inside not to dance. All of this stems from a law passed in the 80s that required a specific floor area to be licensed to dance, and given the high cost of real estate in Japan, most places cannot. 

No trash can

If you are a tourist or visitor in Japan, finding a place to throw your trash will be hard. This is because, in the past, people have abused the privilege. So for those visiting Japan, leave your trash in a bag or bring a garbage bag to take it home at the end of the day.

From an unconventional romance to one of the world’s most coveted singles settling down and getting married, there are plenty of fun facts about how George Clooney and Amal became a couple. If you want to know how this relationship plays out, here’s George and Amal Clooney’s complete timeline!

They met at a party in July 2013

The actor met the love of his life through a mutual friend at a party he hosted. The party occurred at one of George Clooney’s houses near Lake Como in Italy. On the other hand, Amal was on her way to Cannes with a mutual friend. Although George Clooney admits there is an immediate attraction, the romance begins much later. They started talking because she had to send pictures of his parents at the party, which is how their affair began.

Their first date was in London.

Later that year, in October 2013, George Clooney asked Amal on a date in London. At the Abbey Road studios, he was working on his directorial debut, Monuments Men. George reminisced that London was the perfect place for a first date. Amal chose a modern and stylish restaurant for their first date. When they came out, they were surrounded by the paparazzi, but Amal handled it all like a pro. That must be the effect of being a good lawyer. After the first date, things got dire for this couple.

They are on vacation around the world.

Even though George is working on another movie, he’s still having a good time with Amal and traveling the world together. That year they enjoyed each other’s company, including Christmas in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. After they emailed repeatedly, George realized that he and Amal were more than just friends, so they wouldn’t let time pass. They went entirely ahead, knowing each other and building their relationship. But they still need to finish their adventure.

Amal and George visit Africa.

George and Amal’s trip to Africa is significant in their relationship. The two went on a safari in February 2014. In an interview, George revealed that when he looked back at the photos, he realized he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. The couple went hunting in Tanzania and then took a tropical vacation in Seychelles. George and Amal are pictured on the beach holding a tropical fruit. The actor said the travel and Amal looking at the giraffe made him want to propose.

Proposal in 2014

Surprisingly, the actor is the chef in the family. And for this special occasion, he decided to cook Amal a special dinner in April 2014. After sitting down, George asks her to take something from the drawer. When Amal went to get a lighter, she found a ring instead. The actor got on his knees, proposed, and did everything a gentleman should do. Amal was shocked and kept staring at the ring as George knelt and waited for an answer for almost 20 minutes until she agreed.

They got married in September 2014

If getting married in the same year and receiving a marriage proposal seems rushed, it doesn’t seem to be the case for this loving couple. They exchanged vows on a beautiful altar in a luxury resort in Venice, Italy. Their marriage proposal and marriage shocked many ardent fans of the single guy. Friends and family joined them in their multi-day love affair with many celebrations to celebrate the newlyweds. Among the guests, there are many famous people.

The world of the red carpet is filled with all sorts of glitz and glamour. Everyone dresses to impress in jaw-dropping outfits, fighting for the best shots from the press. However, did you know that most stars have a trick or two to stand out from the crowd? From butt pads to specialized shoes to prevent slipping, here are 10 red-carpet tricks used by celebrities to do at our next event.

Volume Hair

Have you ever noticed how complete and luscious nearly every celeb’s hair seems? It’s like they were born with super genes and the perfect hairdo. But we aren’t buying that. So, what’s the secret? Celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin, who works for the Kardashian and Jenner sisters, recently revealed she uses eye makeup to touch up the roots and hairline of her client’s hair to make it seem like they’ve got more volume than they do

Defining Shapewear

Sometimes, we only need a bit of sculpting to achieve that hourglass figure. That’s where Kim Kardashian’s SKIMS Collection comes into play. It isn’t the only shapewear line out there but one of the best. The line includes bras, bralettes, shorts, and bodysuits, and we can even see Kylie, her younger sister, sporting one of the brand’s products in the photo above. If you want to showcase your perfect body for an event, putting on shapewear is the way to go.

Tricking Mind Games

Some of the most head-turning looks in red carpet history are often the most daring. While celebrities like Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, and Kendall Jenner have famously been known to rock “nude” looks on the red carpet, other celebs like Beyonce prefer to wear dresses that seem scandalous. Celebrities have achieved that nude look without being barely clothed on the red carpet floor using a unique material known as illusion fabric or tulle. 

Cover Up

Besides the apparent sewing using a needle and thread, we can use many other items to help outfits stay in place. They can be convenient for deep cuts like a plunging neckline and a high slit. One of those items happens to be some good old sticky tape. It’s a quick solution for a daring outfit to ensure a celeb shows just the right amount of skin and offers some extra support so they don’t unintentionally show too much. 

Costly Skin Care

That glowing and glass-like skin you see on many celebrities isn’t a result of genes or makeup alone but also pretty extensive skin routines. Besides the traditional skin care procedures, celebrities have taken their facials a step further by booking appointments to get those tiny strands of hair on their faces shaved off. In addition to the traditional methods, some others also get derma-planes, a procedure where the top layers of their skin are removed. This way, the skin has that super neat, shiny, and soft red-carpet-worthy appearance. 

Emergency Tailoring

Most red carpet looks, unless custom designed, have a less-than-glove-like fit for the celeb wearing them. So, there’s got to be a lot of slight adjustments that have to be made to ensure the wearer fits into the clothes just like it was made for them. This can be tricky, especially if the event’s date is right now. This is why a tailor is usually needed on-site to handle any last-minute stitching or wardrobe malfunctions.

Wet Hair Look

The “wet hair” look some men prefer is done to give them a super sultry appearance, though the ladies have been catching on in recent years. Now it’s so popular. We can’t help but wonder how exactly they manage to keep their hair looking like that. The secret lies with lubricants like oils and gels — a ton of them. We’re curious how they wash it off and how long it takes. But it’s worth it if it looks this good.

Rubbing the uncomfortable way

Between going up and down the red carpet and wandering all over the venue exchanging pleasantries, it’s clear celebs have to do a lot of walking while they’re at the events. For this reason, their outfits have got to be comfortable. Since style and comfort don’t always go hand-in-hand, there’s always a risk of discomfort from their dresses rubbing with their skin. And there’s a limit to what celebs can carry with them. So, stylists like to bring some hairspray or fabric softener to keep their clients comfy.

Butt pads

It can be frustrating to have your perfect outfit picked out, but some areas need to be fixed when they’re supposed to be tightly fitted. Whether it’s the wearer’s or the tailor’s fault is debatable, but luckily, there’s a quick solution. And in Kristen Bell’s case, it was some excellent ol’ butt pads. Yeah, they’re associated with weird and insecure teens, but those can be handy for this situation. Achieving that full-figure look in just the nick of time has never been easier!

Oily Skin

Have you ever touched your face and noticed it feels much greasier than it should? Well, that’s a result of the over-secretion of sebum, the oil from our sebaceous glands — or pores, as they’re often called — making our skin oilier. Celebs are humans, too, and they also face this issue. But, since it interferes with their makeup, the oily skin has got to go, and their stylists have found just the thing. Coffee filters work wonders on oily skin. Who would have thought?

We often hear about an actress signing a movie contract and then finding out she’s pregnant. Many writers could change the script to include their pregnancy in the show, or try to cover it up with clever camera angles or baggy clothing. One way or another, fans won’t even be able to notice the baby bump. In some of our favorite movies and TV series, several famous actresses have kept their pregnancies a secret. Here are a few ways they’ve tried to hide their pregnant belly!

Angela Kinsey hid her pregnancy at work.

The drama ”The Office” has been broadcast for nine seasons. The show has won numerous awards and established itself as one of the most groundbreaking comedy shows of the century. It has also led to a cult following from “Dunder Mifflin” lovers of all things and spawned several viral memes on the internet. Angela Kinsey, who also plays a character named Angela, became pregnant during the show’s ninth season. However, it’s easy to find a workaround for the actress as the film is set in an office, which means there’s a lot to hide – printer, desk, copier, and file pair.

Amanda Rightetti – Psychologist

Amanda Righetti became pregnant while filming the fifth season of the hit series The Mentalist. Moreover, the show’s writers had a complex puzzle: how to hide the actress’ belly from the viewer’s eyes. This is how they successfully hid. For the film’s professional reasons, the actress’s hands are almost always placed in front of her midsection, especially when the angles are set correctly. She was also filmed standing behind random obstacles – water coolers, boxes, or desks – and these worked wonders.

Reese Witherspoon – Vanity Fair

The movie ”Vanity Fair” has been out for a while. But fans didn’t know that actress Reese Witherspoon was pregnant during filming. Thankfully, this is when sportswear for pregnant women is popular, so it all falls into place. But that doesn’t mean the crew didn’t do much extra behind-the-scenes work to hide her plight. Talk about dark, flowing dresses, matte sets, and some CGI changes here and there to reduce her actual size on the screen.

Kate Winslet – Divergent

Kate Winslet is a familiar actress in the sci-fi movie, Divergent. But few people know that her personality is much more than what she cares. Kate Winslet was pregnant during filming, five months to be exact! The question now is: how can the British star keep this not-so-small fact secret? A lot has happened behind the scenes to work the magic. From dark outfits to lots of props used to cover up her swelling, Katey can do this.

Kelly Rutherford – Gossip Girl

In the popular series Gossip Girl, the character Lily Van der Woodsen plays a mother, and Kelly Rutherford plays that role. The real-life Kelly wasn’t a mom at the show’s start, but she will be pregnant during the filming of the fifth season. Here’s how the writers handled this without changing the plot of being pregnant. Instead, they ensured her character only appeared in an outdoor setting, where she could wear baggy clothes and a trench coat to hide her pregnant belly. You have to give it to them; That’s a clever workaround.

The popularity of tattoos has skyrocketed in recent years, and with that has come a dramatic rise in the race to create the most unique body art. While others are happy with a small cute tattoo or a full back with intricated lines, some people take it up a notch and choose for themselves the most horrible designs.

Today’s list includes some of the lousiest artwork including shaky lines, lousy resilience, and bad shadows. After witnessing these atrocities, we hope you never decide to design a tattoo yourself, and always check the artist’s credentials before your appointment.

Lip tattoo

A few years ago, tattoos on one’s lips became very popular. It’s probably because you can hide it, and it only shows up when you pull your bottom lip down. It is an incomplete form of rebellion. Well, at least that’s the idea. This artist got it very wrong. Instead of being obscured, the tattoo is only on the lower lip and is rather very conspicuous. To make it worse, why would she choose such a silly word?

Twilight fish

It’s unclear how this person came up with this combination, but they somehow put a sick Twilight quote into the rainbow fish-like tattoo. The two seem to be far apart, but there is some common ground for this individual. It’s a unique look, for sure. We hope they pay less for this, as the design needs to be revised. The quote will be a bit gory, but adding the fish is coincidental.

Compass

A lot of people have tattoos dedicated to their significant other. Usually, they receive a heart, their lover’s name, or some form of symbolism for their relationship. This person chose the third option uniquely. This uneven compass has a heart with what appear to be knives cut through it, with a quote around it. The original saying was, “I was once lost, but now I have been found.” This person used their version of the famous quote and ended up with this body art.

Sunny day

“The sun will rise.” This is undoubtedly true. However, the sun in this tattoo has already risen, so it loses its purpose of this tattoo. The lines are also very uneven and shaky, so clearly, this is not the most professional artist who has done this tattoo. We don’t knock feelings down because it’s a friendly reminder that everything is temporary and tomorrow will always be a new day—no matter what you’re going through. 

Crystal Lake

There’s so much going on here, from the horrible fox design to the random rose. The face is a bit thin and not very proportionate, so now it looks half like a side view and half like a straight face. The rose that grows out of the fox’s mouth is an entirely different design, making us think this could be a cover-up. It also seems a bit out of place. Wolves are powerful creatures, but this one has a delicate flower in its mouth.

Mobile phones were one of the most useful inventions in modern times. However, some designs are just a bit out of this world. Out list today includes some crazy phone designs that didn’t make it to the 21st century. Here are some images of old-school phones that will take us all on a trip down memory lane. 

Dual-tech Mobile

Sony Ericsson W950i was a great cellphone with a touchscreen and button system. Moreover, it came with a stylus pen to assist with touchscreen writing. Meanwhile, the wider screen can accommodate the phone’s writing capabilities. 

The main reason for its discontinuation was the emergence of smartphones. Full-sized touchscreens were faster and easier to control than hybrids. The Sony Ericsson W950i came to the market in 2006 and enjoyed brief success before being upstaged by other big names.

Advanced Mobile

Siemens made a masterpiece with this 2004 model, SK65. Its unique design made this phone one of the best of its time. As soon as you flipped it over, the keypad would quickly open up on the sides for easier texting. This made the design highly compact and easy to use. 

The mobile design was very cool. It was attractive and accessible for easy typing. Siemens was typically famous for making distinctive mobile designs at the cost of bonus features, but they didn’t compromise. SK65 was not only stylish but also packed with advanced functionalities.

Plus Keyboard

Cell phones were designed for calls, not messaging. Hence, earlier design engineers tried appending old mobile phones with keypads to make texting more feasible. Ericsson made great efforts to turn a regular mobile into a messaging cell phone, but the results could have been more desirable. 

We wonder how a person carried this phone in their pocket. Even if the keypad were removable, it wouldn’t improve the design. Having an external keypad and attaching it to the mobile phone whenever you need to text is more inconvenient.

Samsung Spy Phone

Samsung SPH-N270 owners could have easily called residents of other planets and tased anyone on this one with their phone. Just kidding! But looking at this mobile phone design, what else would we think? Samsung indeed made it look like a phone from the future — a future that didn’t reach us. 

The green-colored buttons, overt speaker, and blockish design gave the design an extraterrestrial appearance. Maye ET should’ve tried to use this to phone home. While the mobile came with some good features, its design didn’t let it proceed any further.

Nokia Leaf Phone

The device in the image below isn’t from some sci-fi movie. It’s a Nokia from 2003, the Nokia 7600. It was a cell phone designed as a spade-shaped leaf. Some might even say it looked like a kitchen alarm clock, and we can’t blame them. 

Every mobile company tried to make their devices more compact in that era. This is the result of many failed attempts to create something innovative. Nokia was always famous for its device durability, so perhaps these still exist somewhere on Earth today.

Being a lead actor in a TV show or movie can be challenging. It usually takes some major acting chops and charisma to pull it off. But some would say it takes even more skill to take a relatively minor role and make it your own. These actors made the most of their supporting roles and became fan favorites on the TV shows and movies they were in.

Sydney Sweeney as Eden – The Handmaid’s Tale 

Eden was brought in in season 2 and married off to Nick by the oppressive government of Gilead. A pious 15-year-old played by the baby-faced Sweeney, Eden got more attention from viewers and critics than the actor herself had anticipated. Was Eden a spy for Serena or the Eyes? We kept guessing all season, and the answer turned out to be shocking, heartbreaking, and a potential turning point for the show.

Alexandra Breckenridge as Moira – American Horror Story 

Moira O’Hara in American Horror Story: Murder House was played by the iconic Frances Conroy, who went on to play the Angel of Death in Asylum and the unforgettable Myrtle Snow in Coven (“Balenciagaaa!”). As Moira occasionally took the form of her younger self, they needed a younger actor. Sharing a role with Conroy is a tall order – but Alexandra Breckenbridge’s stunning red hair and stocking tops proved unforgettable.

Alexandra Daddario as Lisa – True Detective 

The first season of True Detective was criticized for its portrayal of women. Detective Rust Cohle’s big notebook is given more agency than the female characters, who mainly move the plot by meeting an untimely end or trying to date the other detectives. Still, you have to admit they look good doing it – at least when it comes to Alexandra Daddario as Detective Hart’s bit on the side, Lisa Tragnetti. She reportedly received marriage proposals from fans after her nude scene in episode 2.

Rose Leslie as Ygritte – Game of Thrones 

Game of Thrones left us with many memorable lines: “Winter is coming!”; “Hodor!”; “What do we say to the God of Death? Not today!”; “If you think this has a happy ending, you haven’t been paying attention.” Each is a winner, but perhaps no line has been quoted and seemed quite as much as, “You know nothing, Jon Snow,” spoken by the flame-haired wildling Ygritte. Fresh from Downton Abbey, Rose Leslie made an impression not only on viewers but on Kit “Jon Snow” Harrington himself. The two of them got married in 2018.

Reese Witherspoon as Jill – Friends 

Now that Reese is a media mogul in her own right, it’s hard not to see her appearance as an attempt to inject minor stardom into the saggy middle of season 6. But this was before Legally Blonde, before Sweet Home Alabama. We had no idea just how huge Reese Witherspoon was about to become. And what’s more, Jill’s character worked brilliantly. She takes all the mistakes Rachel made in the early seasons — expecting shopping to fix all her problems, staying tethered to Daddy’s credit card, dating Ross — and makes them her own.

Norman Reedus as Daryl – The Walking Dead 

The Daryl Dixon character didn’t exist in The Walking Dead during its preparation phrase. When Norman Reedus auditioned to play Merle Dixon, the creators knew he wasn’t suitable for the part, but they also knew they wanted him in the show. So they created the role of Daryl, especially for him — and the character quickly became such a fan favorite that he was upgraded to series regular after season 1. He eventually became the series’s main protagonist following Andrew Lincoln’s departure as Rick.

Charisma Carpenter as Cordelia – Buffy the Vampire Slayer 

In the early episodes, Cordelia’s role seemed set in stone: she was the well-dressed, popular girl who was mean to the nerds. By opting to be friends with Willow instead of her, Buffy showed viewers that she was turning her back on the high school life she could have had. But throughout the show’s first three seasons, she transformed from an antagonist pitted against the Scooby gang to their ally — even doing a little vampire slaying herself — before she crossed over to Angel with David Boreanaz.

Krysten Ritter as Gia – Veronica Mars 

Everyone has a favorite Krysten Ritter vehicle — Jessica Jones, Breaking Bad, Don’t Trust the B**** in Apartment 23 — but Veronica Mars fans have loved her longer than anybody else. She took Gia Goodman (a ditzy, privileged character that could quickly have become just another rich girl trope) and made her such an integral part of the show that there was no question of her not returning for the fan-funded movie in 2014.

April Bowlby as Kandi – Two and A Half Men 

Kandi is the classic example of a sitcom character working her way up from a single appearance to the main cast. April Bowlby appeared in season 3 of Two and A Half Men as a one-off bimbette with a different name: Kimber. Kimber had so little discernible personality that we’re wondering if Kandi was a new character or just had a new name. Either way, Kandi was a main character in season 4, eventually becoming Alan’s second wife and returning in season 10 for a surprise twist.

These celebrities don’t just act; they also have many other hidden talents that we may not even hear about most of the time. Did you know Lady Gaga could cook or Zac Efron could pole dance? These are all the fun talents these stars have held back from us. Take a look at this list to find out!

Snoop Dogg is a football coach.

Snoop Dogg is one of the most renowned and legendary rappers. Everyone knows him as a talented rap and hip-hop artist, but we doubt many know he was a football coach and mentor. He started a youth football league in 2005 and has coached many people who played in the big leagues. Snoop has also revealed that coaching has improved his life.

Mark Ruffalo is good at riding unicycles.

Anyone who’s ever learned to ride human-powered vehicles knows the order of difficulty increases from tricycles to bicycles, then unicycles. Riding a unicycle is incredibly hard work and takes a lot of practice. It seems like one of Hollywood’s most delectable actors is skilled at riding a unicycle. We wonder what the backstory is behind this talent of Mark’s, and we’d love to see him showcase his skills to the world someday.

Sandra Bullock is bilingual.

The Golden Globe and Academy Award-winning actress has made a name for herself in America’s entertainment industry. Yet, many people need to learn she has another unique set of skills. Although she doesn’t make much fuss about it, Sandra is also fluent in a central European language: German. Her mother was German and was raised in Nuremberg (a city in Germany) for twelve years, which explains her fluency.

Harry Styles loves to knit

Everyone has one activity they love doing during their leisure time. Former One Direction member, Harry Styles, is not any different. During a tour, when the group was still together, Harry would reportedly knit to relax and help himself deal with all the hustle and bustle of life on tour. Some fans can get a little crazy, and we don’t blame him for wanting to keep his mental health in check!

Terry Crews is skilled at drawing.

We’ve come across quite a list of actors here who’ve got a knack for a thing or two besides playing roles, and Terry Crews is one of them. He’s not just an actor, host, and former football player but also a skilled illustrator. Many of his works have made the rounds on the internet, and we were some of the millions amazed by his unbelievable skills. We’d have never guessed that Terry was also good with a pencil and some crayons in a billion years.

Harrison Ford is a pilot.

Hollywood has several legends, and Harrison Ford can easily be called one of them. He’s one of the highest-grossing actors ever and has many accolades under his belt. Besides acting, he’s also a pilot. The actor started flying far back in the 60s, but it wasn’t until much later he was given his license. Now, the legendary actor has thousands of flying miles to his name and can call himself one of the best pilots in Hollywood. 

Vin Diesel contributes to the development of video games.

Anyone who’s into action movies must know a man named Vin Diesel. He’s been the star of numerous blockbusters, some of which have featured him in their video game versions. Vin founded a video game company, Tigon Studios, which has been the creator of these video games. He also joined Studio Wildcard, an American video game developer, as their president of creative convergence, contributing even more to video gaming.

Angelina Jolie is a skilled knife thrower.

We’re not the best at statistics or guesses, but we can comfortably say it won’t be all that easy to meet people fascinated by knives. We can also say it’ll be hard to find one good at throwing them. That’s exactly why we think Angelina’s talent is one in a million. She even told Conan O’Brien, the popular television host, that she’s been collecting weapons since she was a little girl and showed off her super cool butterfly knife skills during the interview.

Bradley Cooper speaks French.

We’ve already talked about a bilingual star who has a lot of success in Hollywood, so this next one isn’t as much of a shocker. Bradley Cooper is another star who speaks a foreign language fluently. Bradley has a good command of French as he studied in France for a short while. The actor has shown his French language skills in public as he’s spoken the language during an interview, setting the internet ablaze.

Steve Carell played ice hockey.

Besides Mark Ruffalo’s unicycling talent, only a few of what we’ve seen so far have required that much physical strain. That’s why Steve Carell’s talent for playing ice hockey is an impressive one and another favorite we’d like to see in action. We don’t need to wish for that to happen. Steve displayed his impressive ice hockey skills during an episode of The Office, a comedy series he starred in. Watching the episode puts some perspective on how great he is at the game.
