Every once in a while you find objects that — no matter how hard you try — you can’t identify. A line of staples taped to your library book or a piece of orange tape nailed to the pavement, they turn into real mysteries that you can’t let go of until they have been solved. Luckily there are many helpful people on the internet that turn out to have the answer to your head-scratcher.
At Bright Side we love solving riddles, so we’ve collected 22 of them here. The people sharing these mysteries were lucky enough to find some answers, but can you help us out with the unsolved problem in the bonus section?
1. “Found in a library book. Tape over staples?”
This is an electro-magnetic security tag. So you can’t just take the book out without checking it out at the desk! © sndtech
2. “I was cutting my watermelon and was confused when I saw these hard stems inside, does anyone know what they are?”
That happens when the watermelon gets stressed during growing. It was likely due to drought that the fruit got messed up inside. It’s technically edible, but likely doesn’t taste very good. © Sirlancelotmn
3. “A handle with 2 flat, crescent-shaped pieces of metal with corrugated edges, with the concave parts facing each other.”
It is for cutting wontons or dumplings. © jackrats
4. “Found this in a public park. Everything not screened in is removable. What is it for?”
It’s a bee and bughouse filled with different materials for lone bugs to overwinter. © MammieisQueen
5. “What is this plastic rack used for? Stands about 3 ft high.”
6. “What is the purpose of the metal plates on the ground in front of these water fountains?”
It is for blind people and their white cane. It is similar to the warning dots on the footpath at intersections. © MrRed311 ©sdorph
7. “Found these in my cooked spaghetti. The sauce was canned.”
They definitely look like rosary peas. Don’t eat that spaghetti bro! And if you already ate it, go to the doctor. © kookykerfuffle
8. “I bought a used guitar and it came with this plastic pouch which has a pick inside and this other thing. It’s too short to be an extra string.”
My guess is that it is an extra string for a different instrument (probably a ukulele). You mention that you bought the guitar used. If it was purchased from a music shop, they might have thrown that in so you had a pick and they didn’t really care about a random string. As a string instrument player, I have had plenty of little packets like that laying around. © Rentauskas
9. “I have a long list of things that this is NOT — but I have no idea what it is.”
It is 100% a molinillo. Used in Colombia to make hot chocolate frothy. © DasRodriguez
10. “Found in my building’s recycling — Sailing / marine gear? Cat toy?”
It’s a flute embouchure trainer! © TreeWithNoCoat
11. “Orange tape nailed to pavement with orange triangle and sometimes a number”
Surveyors control point. Surveyors will typically establish several control points just outside of the proposed work area that are a fixed location that will not likely change during construction. These points are usually GPS located and have a fixed elevation. It’s a way for the construction crews to have a way to verify that what they are building is located in the correct place and built to the right height. © stardustdriveinTN
12. “About the size of a ping pong ball, hollow like one too. Found in the woods.”
13. “Purchased these herbs in Hong Kong for soups and drinks, but don’t know what they are exactly.”
Kind of looks like Dendrobium. © jackrats
14. “What is this bubbly stuff coming out of this banana? It split open by itself, like it’s under pressure.”
Ripened bananas tend to foam due to the presence of sugars. © Melvin Furtado
15. “My old roommate forgot this in a kitchen drawer when they moved out, what is it?”
Bradshaw Good Cook corn stripper. © Win4All
16. “A weird strainer-type thing sent to us without an identifiable return address”
It’s a gyro bowl for kids’ snacks. I have many of them. Toddlers can walk around with the snacks in the bowl and they stay level while they walk around and don’t fall out. Don’t worry, kids will still find a way to spill anything. © knoxiusgero
17. “This cable came in a baggie with my new laptop and it has no mention of it in the set up guide. What is this thing?”
It’s for adding an ssd/hdd to your laptop, the flat side of the cable connects to your motherboard. If you open the laptop there is probably an empty space/bracket for the extra drive. © triiiflippp
18. “Weird plastic item with 2 points at each end, 2 different sizes. Fork for scale.”
Used for holding stitches in knitting. © Sharhamm
19. “Looks like a dough blender, but the bar across the middle makes it otherwise.”
Pretty sure this is one of those rocker-chopping motion food choppers. © bwmlax
20. “Found this while cleaning. It’s fairly small, just over 1”. Any ideas or suggestions as to what it may be are much appreciated!"
I believe the images represent the chakras. © jackrats
21. “What’s this metal lump? It shines very bright under light and is almost blinding to look at.”
Looks like the top of a silicon boule. It’s possible it is a failed boule that broke before it was complete. © jsthgrau
22. “I found this blue disc in a packet of sour cream chips.”
BONUS: This one isn’t solved yet. Can you help us out?
“There’s something between the glass in my nail polish. Wasn’t there last time I looked. What could it be?”

brightside--2020-06-29--What the Actors From “13 Going on 30” Are Up to 16 Years After the Movie’s Release

There are classic movies that never go out of style , and 13 Going on 30 is one of them .
Who wouldn ’ t be able to relate to poor teenage Jenna , who just wanted to be a popular and pretty girl ?
And even more so with 30-year-old Jenna , when everything she wanted had actually come true , but she still wasn ’ t happy with what she had because it obviously wasn ’ t what she really wanted !
If you laughed and were moved by this beautiful romantic comedy , you ’ ll probably @ @ @ @ @ @ @ today .
We love her for her performance in this film .
The truth is that playing a 30-year-old woman with the mentality of a 13-year-old girl can not be easy , but she did a great job playing such a complex character .
Garner was then involved in several films and series , like Elektra or the character Vanessa Loring in Juno , but without a doubt , she got the most recognition after working on ABC ’ s spy-thriller Alias , a series where she played character Sydney Bristow , which @ @ @ @ @ @ @ most popular role was precisely the one she played in this film .
However , because she bears a great resemblance to Jennifer Garner ( you can see it , right ? )
, 13 Going on 30 wasn ’ t the only film in which she played together with her as a younger version of Garner ’ s character .
In Ghosts of Girlfriends Past she also brought a younger version of Garner to the big screen , playing teenage Jenny .
Besides being eternally in love with Jenna , his childhood @ @ @ @ @ @ @ having played the Hulk in several films from the Marvel Cinematic Universe .
His last part was in the HBO series I Know This Much Is True , where we can see him playing his own double , since he played both Thomas and Dominick Birdsey , 2 twin brothers .
Greer has had a long career , both in film and on television series , although she has not received any Emmy or Oscar nominations so far .
She is an avid reader and shares her book reviews via her Instagram account @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , especially of her little dog Mary , so she likes to spread the word and promote responsible practices toward animals , like pet adoption .
Let ’ s hear it for Judy !
Little Tom-Tom continued to work in the film industry , but unfortunately none of her projects have really been successful .
Before playing the young Judy Greer , she took part in Eye for an Eye and A Time to Kill .
Today she looks very much like the young Lucy .
It ’ s like time hasn ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ t you think ?
We loved him in 13 Going on 30 when he put his dancing skills to the test and totally rocked the choreography of Michael Jackson ’ s Thriller .
That was an iconic moment in the film !
But despite his feel for rhythm , later on Serkis decided to specialize in performance capture roles for computer generated characters like Gollum in The Lord of the Rings trilogy , and Supreme Leader Snoke from the First Order in the new Star Wars releases , Star Wars : Episode VII @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : Episode VIII — The Last Jedi .
Jenna ’ s secretary had to put up with a demanding and authoritarian woman until she was 13 again — how will we ever forget the scared look on her face every time she addressed her boss !
Marcia also appeared in other films , like Whatever Works , Letters to Juliet , and Baron Cohen ’ s The Dictator .
You might also recognize her mostly for her roles in popular series like Orange is the New Black , The Blacklist , or Almost @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on 30 who proudly wore the superhero costume to save the world is Lynn Collins .
Just like Mark Ruffalo ( who actually played her boyfriend in this film ) decided to take on the challenge of bringing the Hulk to the big screen , Lynn played Kayla Silverfox in X-Men Origins : Wolverine .
Becky becomes friends with Jenna because they live in the same building .
Currently , this lovely girl is a singer who has already recorded 3 studio albums and has participated in Live 8 in Berlin in 2005 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : her last film was Bachelor Lions , released in 2018 , where she played Evelyn Ross .
Bonus : Look at how the girls from the “ Six Chicks ” are doing .
Brittany belonged to the cool chicks from school , exactly the ones Jenna wanted to be friends with .
This great actress unleashed her true potential mainly on TV shows , most of which have become very successful with their audiences , like Drake & Josh , Criminal Minds , Chicago Fire , and now The Magicians .
Another @ @ @ @ @ @ @ yet another one of the actresses from 13 Going on 30 who became a superheroine .
Brie is known worldwide for her performance as Captain Marvel .
She has won multiple awards during her career and , in addition to acting , she is a writer , director , and singer .
Let ’ s hear it for her !
Even as a child she was well suited for the role as the popular girl from school .
Today she has become world famous for starring in the series Pretty Little Liars , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on several films like Bring It On : In It to Win It , and had appearances in very successful series like Supernatural or How I Met Your Mother .

There are classic movies that never go out of style, and 13 Going on 30 is one of them. Who wouldn’t be able to relate to poor teenage Jenna, who just wanted to be a popular and pretty girl? And even more so with 30-year-old Jenna, when everything she wanted had actually come true, but she still wasn’t happy with what she had because it obviously wasn’t what she really wanted! If you laughed and were moved by this beautiful romantic comedy, you’ll probably want to see how these actors look today.
As a tribute to this movie, Bright Side thought it would be a good idea to show you how the actors from this movie, that touched and moved our generation, look now and what they’re up to. Let’s take a look!
1. Jennifer Garner (Jenna Rink)
We love her for her performance in this film. The truth is that playing a 30-year-old woman with the mentality of a 13-year-old girl cannot be easy, but she did a great job playing such a complex character. Garner was then involved in several films and series, like Elektra or the character Vanessa Loring in Juno, but without a doubt, she got the most recognition after working on ABC’s spy-thriller Alias, a series where she played character Sydney Bristow, which won her a Golden Globe.
2. Christa B. Allen (young Jenna Rink)
Her most popular role was precisely the one she played in this film. However, because she bears a great resemblance to Jennifer Garner (you can see it, right?), 13 Going on 30 wasn’t the only film in which she played together with her as a younger version of Garner’s character. In Ghosts of Girlfriends Past she also brought a younger version of Garner to the big screen, playing teenage Jenny.
3. Mark Ruffalo (Matt Flamhaff)
Besides being eternally in love with Jenna, his childhood sweetheart, Mark is well-known worldwide for having played the Hulk in several films from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His last part was in the HBO series I Know This Much Is True, where we can see him playing his own double, since he played both Thomas and Dominick Birdsey, 2 twin brothers.
4. Sean Marquette (young Matt Flamhaff)
In addition to 13 Going on 30, Marquette worked on ABC’s All My Children, as well as Lizzie McGuire, among other series. He has also done voice work on several video game and animated series characters like Nickelodeon’s Rocket Power. What a multi-faceted artist!
5. Judy Greer (Lucy “Tom-Tom” Wyman)
Greer has had a long career, both in film and on television series, although she has not received any Emmy or Oscar nominations so far. She is an avid reader and shares her book reviews via her Instagram account. She is also an animal lover, especially of her little dog Mary, so she likes to spread the word and promote responsible practices toward animals, like pet adoption. Let’s hear it for Judy!
6. Alexandra Kyle (young Lucy “Tom-Tom” Wyman)
Little Tom-Tom continued to work in the film industry, but unfortunately none of her projects have really been successful. Before playing the young Judy Greer, she took part in Eye for an Eye and A Time to Kill. Today she looks very much like the young Lucy. It’s like time hasn’t passed at all, don’t you think?
7. Andy Serkis (Richard Kneeland)
We loved him in 13 Going on 30 when he put his dancing skills to the test and totally rocked the choreography of Michael Jackson’s Thriller. That was an iconic moment in the film! But despite his feel for rhythm, later on Serkis decided to specialize in performance capture roles for computer generated characters like Gollum in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Supreme Leader Snoke from the First Order in the new Star Wars releases, Star Wars: Episode VII — The Force Awakens and Star Wars: Episode VIII — The Last Jedi.
8. Sam Ball (Alex Carlson)
He worked on other films like Pumpkin, The Last Castle, and The Pact. However, those of us who love 13 Going on 30 will always remember him as Jenna’s boyfriend.
9. Marcia DeBonis (Arlene)
Jenna’s secretary had to put up with a demanding and authoritarian woman until she was 13 again — how will we ever forget the scared look on her face every time she addressed her boss! Marcia also appeared in other films, like Whatever Works, Letters to Juliet, and Baron Cohen’s The Dictator. You might also recognize her mostly for her roles in popular series like Orange is the New Black, The Blacklist, or Almost Family.
10. Kathy Baker (Beverly Rink)
Winner of a Golden Globe and 3 Emmy Awards for her role in Picket Fences, she is also remembered for her performance in Edward Scissorhands as Joyce. A versatile and contemporary actress, she played Jenna’s mother in 13 Going on 30, a character full of wisdom and understanding.
11. Phil Reeves (Wayne Rink)
Jenna’s dad doesn’t have much of an impact on the film’s plot. However, you might recognize Phil as Charles Swedelson from the sitcom Girlfriends, or even as Vice President Andrew Doyle from HBO’s comedy, Veep. He has also written movie scripts like Happy, Texas and made special appearances in other shows.
12. Lynn Collins (Wendy)
Another actress from 13 Going on 30 who proudly wore the superhero costume to save the world is Lynn Collins. Just like Mark Ruffalo (who actually played her boyfriend in this film) decided to take on the challenge of bringing the Hulk to the big screen, Lynn played Kayla Silverfox in X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
13. Kiersten Warren (Trish Sackett)
Jenna and Tom-Tom’s hateful enemy, who worked for the competition, also played in Saved by the Bell: Wedding in Las Vegas and Independence Day. Today, she’s using social media to show how much she loves animals, especially her pets.
14. Renee Olstead (Becky)
Becky becomes friends with Jenna because they live in the same building. Currently, this lovely girl is a singer who has already recorded 3 studio albums and has participated in Live 8 in Berlin in 2005. She also still acts in movies: her last film was Bachelor Lions, released in 2018, where she played Evelyn Ross.
Bonus: Look at how the girls from the “Six Chicks” are doing.
1. Brittany Curran
Brittany belonged to the cool chicks from school, exactly the ones Jenna wanted to be friends with. This great actress unleashed her true potential mainly on TV shows, most of which have become very successful with their audiences, like Drake & Josh, Criminal Minds, Chicago Fire, and now The Magicians.
2. Brie Larson
Another member of the mean girls club and yet another one of the actresses from 13 Going on 30 who became a superheroine. Brie is known worldwide for her performance as Captain Marvel. She has won multiple awards during her career and, in addition to acting, she is a writer, director, and singer. Let’s hear it for her!
3. Ashley Benson
Even as a child she was well suited for the role as the popular girl from school. Today she has become world famous for starring in the series Pretty Little Liars, but on top of that she worked on several films like Bring It On: In It to Win It, and had appearances in very successful series like Supernatural or How I Met Your Mother.

Before releasing products to the market , the manufacturer , as a rule , tests the products ’ performance and compliance with all of the their declared properties .

Before releasing products to the market, the manufacturer, as a rule, tests the products’ performance and compliance with all of the their declared properties. But it turns out that not all companies do this and it makes their customers resent buying a toaster that burns itself, a pan that turns over thanks to its heavy handle, or an ice cube tray that shatters when you try to get the ice out.
Even the simplest of things might not meet our expectations and here are 20+ instances where people were unpleasantly surprised. Now, we at Bright Side know for sure what to pay attention to when buying home appliances and kitchen utensils.
1. “My pan’s handle is too heavy for it to stay flush with the stove top.”
2. This pan is unbalanced and almost flips over every time.
By the way, its owner noted that the pan itself is pretty good and that it was pretty expensive.
3. In this pan, the steam comes out right at the handle.
4. “My glasses have an Oakley logo on the bottom of the left lens. I frequently think there is a smudge on my glasses, but nope!”
5. This ice cube tray shattered when we tried to get the ice cubes out.
6. “I found this soap dispenser where the soap didn’t come from the bottom.”
7. “I bought this ramp to help my short little sausage dog get up on my tall bed. It’s literally harder for him to get up because it’s a friggin slide.”
8. This IKEA colander has a lip that curves inward and traps the pasta.
9. “My toaster melts its own plastic when toasting.”
10. Can it really be called a pocket? Why does most women’s clothing have such small pockets?
11. That’s how the pedal on the garbage bin in a hotel room works:
12. This metal piece on the handle gets too hot to touch.
13. “My hammer, after I tried to pull out a nail”
14. “My mom brought this fridge magnet from Sri Lanka.”
15. The silicone straw and screw-on lid make this cup completely airtight... so you can’t suck any liquid out.
16. The pipette from this bottle of beard oil melted when it came into contact with the beard oil.
17. “This kid toy comes with a speaker in the sink. The speaker no longer works after my son put water in it once.”
18. This Lego storage box has a gap at the bottom. The small pieces are constantly getting wedged in it.

Each day holds both small and global surprises in it. At first, you may learn that Tom was Jerry’s friend and that the Egyptian pyramids are located close to the city, then you see X-rays of turtles and birds with curly feathers. We learn of these things thanks to people who never get tired of searching for new wonders of this world and sharing them with the entire Internet.
We at Bright Side are thankful to everyone who gave us a reason to exclaim, “Wow!” once again.
Theaters are used to train service dogs to remain relaxed in tight quarters for a long time.
Our brain can create false memories, so we really can remember things that never happened.
There was a baby in Texas who was born twice. The girl was taken from her mom’s womb for a life-saving surgery and then placed back in.
This is what a pickle looks like under UV light.
Draco wore THIS to the Yule Ball and he didn’t even get one scene!?
Why it’s so important to choose a good melody
That’s an X-ray of a turtle. Yes, those are eggs!
It’s hard to be a magic-man.

Nature is both wonderful and tricky : always changing , always adapting , always evolving .
Nothing illustrates this sentiment better than melanism — a rare genetic mutation — even more uncommon than albinism — that turns animals pitch-black , truly making them a sight to behold .

Nature is both wonderful and tricky: always changing, always adapting, always evolving. Nothing illustrates this sentiment better than melanism — a rare genetic mutation — even more uncommon than albinism — that turns animals pitch-black, truly making them a sight to behold.
We at Bright Side invite you to have a look at those amazing creatures and compare some of them with their “ordinary” counterparts. And at the end of the article you’ll see a really extraordinary comparison.
1. A melanistic caiman looks even more intimidating.
Melanism is caused by the increased presence of a black-colored pigment in the skin. The black specimens are called “melanic,” “melanistic,” or “black morphs.”
2. Some melanistic parrots keep some of their colorful feathers. Others don’t.
3. There is a common misconception that black panthers are a separate species. Actually, they’re just a leopard or jaguar with an over-development of melanin.
In cases of incomplete mutation, you can still see their trademark spots.
Melanism is heritable, but it’s carried by recessive genes, so sometimes it can skip a few generations before it appears again. Melanistic babies can be born from “normal” parents and vice versa. Oftentimes melanistic and non-melanistic siblings can appear in the same litter!
Unlike albinism, which happens more often to females, melanism happens predominantly to male cats. It also turns their irises yellow!
4. Melanistic foxes are relatively common and their grayish coat earned them the name “silver fox.”
Sometimes melanism develops to better adapt an animal to the environment. A fox who hunts at night would profit from black fur, while a lion, who is a diurnal animal, wouldn’t. So there are no melanistic lions in existence.
5. Melanistic rabbits are central to many myths. For example, it was believed that hunting a black rabbit would bring bad luck.
6. Guinea pigs, like many other pets, are often specifically bred by humans to be melanistic.
7. The coloration of melanistic deer can vary from soot-black to brown.
8. Melanism can even be found in some insects like this peppered moth.
For these moths, the phenomenon is called "industrial melanism.’’ During the time of the Industrial Revolution, when a drastic increase in air pollution happened, more moths turned black to better hide amidst the darkened environment. Now, as pollution has reduced, the non-melanistic group is growing bigger again.
9. Similar to foxes, black morphs among squirrels occur often enough to separate them into their own subgroup.
10. In bird’s, pigmentation is located in their feathers.
11. White and melanistic silkie roosters look like a pair of chess figures.
12. For reptiles, melanin helps them to keep warm better.
13. Black lizards are even sneakier than ordinary ones.
14. Baby turtles have a harsh quest when hatching: to make their way to the sea and to not get eaten. This is especially challenging for black ones!
15. Servals are very secretive animals and even meeting a common serval is a tough challenge.
16. This melanistic raccoon has reached the extreme level of a bandit-like look.
Bonus: Many animals who have their “melanistic form” also have an “albino form.”
But unlike albino animals, who are much less viable in the wild due to their visible skin and poor eyesight, melanism often proves to be useful for survival: both in hunting and hiding. In these cases, the mutation will be picked up and carried on by natural selection.

Pareidolia is the incorrect perception of inanimate objects: sometimes it seems like they have faces, sometimes we see shapes in the clouds.
