Wisdom teeth come out between the ages of 12 to 25, and some doctors recommend having them removed. But is it necessary? Do we really need to get our wisdom teeth pulled? In some cases, there is absolutely no need to remove your wisdom teeth. If they don’t interfere with the normal functioning of neighboring teeth, it means that your mouth is big enough to accommodate all four of your wisdom teeth. The same is true if they’re straight and not at an angle to their neighbors, which can create hard-to-reach places for bacteria to grow. If there isn't enough space in the mouth and all adjacent teeth are already snug as it is, the erupting wisdom tooth brings the risk of damaging the nearby teeth. In this case, it’ll cause pain in your whole mouth and problems with chewing! Poor oral hygiene because of stuck food in wisdom teeth that didn’t’ fully come in can cause a large buildup of bacteria, which can lead to even more problems like oral cavity diseases. Most dentists agree that the younger you are when you have your wisdom teeth removed, the better. After you turn 25, all the bone tissues have formed completely. This means that the teeth are more difficult to remove, and the surrounding tissues heal more slowly. After you’ve had your wisdom teeth removed, the best post-op diet for you is milkshakes and ice cream. These foods are soft and cold, which is good because it soothes the pain.

In our everyday life, we’re usually doing things in seemingly the easiest and most rational way, yet we face the same problems repeatedly. Can't fall asleep again after going to the bathroom at night? Wanna know why? That’s because you switched on the lights to see what you’re doing. Our brain is trained to think that the light naturally means morning. Yeah, our brain is a tricky thing. Do you know, for example, why you should have a good laugh before a test? The thing is that our brains need to build strong relations with what we want to remember. And nothing helps more than something that gives them positive emotions! So if you wanna remember something important, just find something to laugh about, and you’ll remember it for good. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

On December 31, 1988, a passenger airliner heading from Kaliningrad, Russia, to Odessa, Ukraine, made for a landing in the destination airport. New Year in Russia is a big deal. And this might have been the reason for what happened on that day with the Tu-134 flight. The weather forecast for the day was not one that would make you overjoyed: it was overcast and stormy, with strong winds and low visibility. The cabin crew knew all this: they were warned of the conditions in advance. All systems were working fine, the airplane was cruising to its place of destination. The problems began when permission to descend was given. The speed at which the aircraft descended was way too high... Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It’s your personal sanctuary, your private concert stage, the place where all your most ingenious ideas and random thoughts pop into your head, and other things just pop out. It's the bathroom, also known as the restroom, lavatory, and, for you engineers out there, it’s the cubical digestive elimination venue. But do you know that when it comes to what you’re doing in there, you probably make some common sanitation mistakes? For example, you think you're washing your hands correctly? Well, besides the water temperature, the problem is, the average person doesn’t spend enough time washing their hands. Or maybe you wash your face in the shower? Not the best option, too. By the way, where do you keep your towels? Right there in the bathroom? It's better to store them elsewhere (of course, unless you wanna rub fungus all over your body).

40% – that’s how much of the food you buy ends up getting tossed right in the garbage. 40%! Surprised? The culprit: improper storage. We are used to storing everything in our fridges: fruits, vegetables, sweets, breads. Some people also keep sauces, marinades, and cans in their fridges, just in case. But often, while storing foods like this might extend their shelf life, it can actually be harmful for the products. Did you know, for example, that tomatoes get even more flavorful and fragrant if you keep them at room temperature (about 70°F) or above? Or that onion and garlic prefer warmer temperatures, too? They’re also afraid of light and won’t like being kept in a sunlit kitchen. And guys, never keep fries in the fridge! French fries, or any fried potatoes for that matter, contain a substance that can become toxic when kept in low temperatures.

Research continues to show that our appearance can say a lot about our personality and lifestyle. Let’s find out what exactly your facial features can say about you. Psychologist and neuroscientist Dr. Keith Welker studied the facial structure of around 1,000 World Cup soccer players and found that a player’s facial width-to-height ratio was closely connected to the number of goals he scored. The higher the number, the more competent a person is. Your wrinkles tell the story of your life. There are certain muscles that work every time you smile, cry, frown, or raise your brows. After some time, they get used to particular emotions and “draw” them on your face, making them visible even when your face is resting. There's a slight differentiation between genders when it comes to picking “the good side”. Women tend to turn to the camera with their left side. Researches believe that this is because the left part of our face is controlled by the right hemisphere of our brain, which is responsible for our emotions. That's why it seems way more attractive. In 2015 a group of scientists analyzed 123 selfies taken from Sina Weibo, a Chinese microblogging site sort of like Twitter. The researchers found a fascinating connection between types of selfies and people's personalities. Selfie takers with the infamous duck face and high angle tend to be neurotic. People who are friendlier and more open to new experiences tend to use the bottom-up approach while taking selfies.

Some pictures cost millions of dollars, and a photo of Billy the Kid found in a thrift store is a good example of that. Billy the Kid was a legend of the Wild West. He only lived for 21 years, but even in that short time, this young man managed to become one of the most famous outlaws of his era. Interestingly, he never robbed banks, trains, or stagecoaches, but was rustling cattle and took part in gunfights. Even when he was captured, he managed to design a daring jailbreak.

What animals are not kept in captivity? Every 50-100 million years, about 95% of all the living species extinct on our planet. Scientists refer to this process as Holocene Extinction. And today, there are a lot of animals that are on the brink of extinction. For example, one of the rarest mammals on the planet is the Javan Rhino. Less than 70 are left, and they all live in a National Park on the island of Java, Indonesia. Of the 5 total rhino species, they're the most endangered one. Scientists aren't sure how long they live but guess somewhere between 30 – 40 years. But there are other reasons why some animals are not kept in zoos. Even if you absolutely love aquariums and have been to dozens of them, there's one sea creature you’ll never ever come across there. Not a single aquarium in the world has a great white shark. In the past, many have tried adding great whites along with other sharks in their tanks, but it never worked out. They’d stop eating and even struggle to swim. Doesn’t make for great business either: it’s too costly to keep the great shark because a large enough tank will need millions of gallons of water. Learn more about your ad choices.

Using a stopped escalator as stairs might seem harmless, but it can actually be risky! First off, escalator steps are taller and deeper than regular stairs, so it's easy to lose your footing or trip. Plus, escalators are designed to move, so their steps don’t have the same grip as normal stairs, making them more slippery. When the escalator isn’t working, it can also be unstable, especially if there’s a sudden fix or maintenance happening. There’s also a chance that the escalator could start moving again suddenly if it’s not fully shut off, which would be a big surprise! For safety, it’s better to use regular stairs or an elevator if the escalator is out of service. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It’s hard to believe it but drinking water in certain situations can actually be harmful for you. Find out some simple rules to follow to save your health and the health of your family. Stick around till the end of the video for a helpful bonus. You’ll find out what can happen to your body if you drink too much liquid during the day. There are at least 3 reasons why you should avoid drinking water before going to sleep: you’ll be running to the bathroom throughout the night, you might notice some facial and limb swelling in the morning, and the volume of your blood increases dangerously. Experts say that excessive water intake while exercising can have several negative side effects. Completely clear urine is a sign of over-hydration. If you have colorless urine, you’re probably drinking too much water during the day, even when you don't feel thirsty. You should never drink water after eating something spicy like chili peppers. Having too much water with your meal often leads to indigestion. This happens because your mouth produces saliva, which has enzymes that are essential for a healthy digestive process. It may seem like a great idea to refresh yourself on a hot summer day by drinking some water from the garden hose. But even if the hose is connected to a pipe with a clean water system, the pipe itself contains elements that can be really dangerous for your health. If you accidentally get some water in your mouth while swimming in the sea, you should spit it out immediately. Not unless you want to spend your whole vacation suffering from rotavirus and all its nasty symptoms. It’s important to remember that drinking excessive amounts of water leads to low sodium levels and unpleasant side effects. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
