It is often said that pets become very much like their owners over time. Maybe, you’ve noticed this too. But the cats that we want to show you today don’t just have the same habits that people do, they act so much like humans that it’s scary.
We at Bright Side couldn’t resist the charms of these fluffy guys that are so much like us. And at the end of the article, there is a story of a cat that deserves a job in emergency services.
“Maybe, you have some teeny tiny treat for me?”
“My buddy and I were setting up for our podcast and my cat decided she wanted to be our guest this week...”
She looks like she just realized she forgot to turn the stove off.
“Lucy always sits like a human and waits patiently when spinach is on the menu.”
We all have those moments when we just want to scream!
Sports? Not today.
“My cat looks like he’s seen something he wants to unsee.”
“You could say my cat does not approve of our new addition...”
Nice dancing
Don’t worry, cat. It’s always scary to drive for the first time.
Do you have the same face after you watch the news?
All kids love movies.
“Why not sing when you have some free time and a lovely voice?”
“I swear she poses when I point my phone in her direction.”
“My cat turned 3, she was not impressed with the celebrations.”
Does anyone even like broccoli?
“Everyone, please look at my girlfriend’s cat... He just stands.”
“This past July, while we were at the beach, my friend sent a picture of his cat’s malfunction.”
“Dear diary, it’s been 84 years since these humans left the house. I can’t take it anymore.”
Bonus: Rescue cat
I turned my car engine on and I was talking to my neighbor. Then, some cat starts walking around my legs. When I went to the car, the cat jumps and runs under the car. Now, I have to get it out somehow! I look under the car and see that there’s a gas leak! The thing is, I’d never have noticed it if it wasn’t for the cat. The cat was already gone by the way. He saved me from a lot of trouble because my car would’ve just stopped somewhere in the middle of the road. I see the cat now and then and feed him. © skipper7by / Pikabu

Sometimes, we think that bosses are people from a different planet: their opinions and attitudes toward life are often very unusual. Some bosses make us smile, and others are so intolerable that it’s easier to quit our job than to put up with them.
We at Bright Side love unusual stories so we just couldn’t ignore these ones shared by online users.
“My boss told me to at least try shoveling out and come in today. My car is the red one.”
“My boss censored my cleavage at work yesterday...I should add that before this, my boss was making tape barricades on the stairs for people to get caught in.”
“My boss brings his pet pig to work every day.”
“My boss wears his $50,000 green diamond ring to work, laying asphalt.”
“My boss gave me a key to open this drawer, then started laughing hysterically when I tried unlocking it. I didn’t realize why until now.”
When only the chosen ones can have an office romance.
“My boss put grape Kool-Aid in all the watercoolers.”
Some bosses have a strange sense of humor.
“My boss installed an IP Camera at the store to spy on us when he was away. I retaliated with this rig.”

brightside--2020-12-19--10+ Common Foods It’s Better to Not Buy at the Supermarket

The pleasant atmosphere , bright packaging , and discounted price tags make the supermarket an almost ideal place to shop @ @ @ @ @ just part of their money-making scheme .
Not all products are of good quality , @ @ @ @ @ harm the body .
In addition , discounts are often not profitable at all .
@ @ @ @ @ that you need to be smart when it comes to buying food products .
So @ @ @ @ @ out what products we should stop purchasing in order to save our money and our @ @ @ @ @ special attention to the storage conditions and shelf life .
Certain foods may be dangerous @ @ @ @ @ are not always profitable .
But deception doesn ’ t just happen with discounts .

The pleasant atmosphere, bright packaging, and discounted price tags make the supermarket an almost ideal place to shop. But this is all just part of their money-making scheme. Not all products are of good quality, and some of them can harm the body. In addition, discounts are often not profitable at all.
We at Bright Side believe that you need to be smart when it comes to buying food products. So today, we will figure out what products we should stop purchasing in order to save our money and our health.
You should pay special attention to the storage conditions and shelf life.
The label with the date of the packaging of sliced cheese can be easily re-glued several times until the product no longer looks presentable. Most often, this happens with expensive cheeses that sell less often. It’s better to ask a shop assistant to cut a piece from a larger piece of cheese for you or to slice a new chunk of cheese for you.
You need to be more careful when choosing dairy products, giving preference to the time-tested brands. Here’s a story from a logistician at a trade warehouse, “I faced a real miracle. The manufacturer invented the time machine and began the mass production of milk from the future.” The photo was taken almost a month before the production date printed on the package.
Plastic bags aren’t the safest packaging. In order for the product to be preserved, sellers have to strictly adhere to the shelf life and the recommended temperature conditions. A user noticed kefir that was stored incorrectly, “I immediately remembered a story. As a child, I was sent to the store to buy kefir. I come back running with a package that looked like the one below and declared joyfully, “Mom, look, they even overpoured it! I specially chose the biggest one!”
Supermarket employees don’t recommend buying bread in store packaging. According to one store worker who saw how things were done at the store they worked at, “Some vendors bring bread loaves, which we have to pack ourselves. This is usually done by a cleaning lady, and, as a rule, she does it without gloves.”
Certain foods may be dangerous for your health.
Experts don’t recommend buying marinated meat because it contains a lot of additives and water. An employee of the meat department shared an even more unpleasant detail, “This is almost always an expired product. And spices are added to drown out the ammonia smell.” This meat can also be turned into minced meat for meatballs, sausages, and other “ready-made” dishes from supermarkets.
In supermarkets, birds often get inside, and sometimes, even rodents and cats appear in there. It is unlikely that anyone would ever want to buy goods sold by weight after looking at these photos.
Dates sometimes look shiny and sticky because they were soaked in sugar syrup. These conditions are a paradise for bacteria. And dried apricots may be bright orange due to sulfur dioxide, which can cause headaches and a sore throat. Natural dates are matte and dense, and dried apricots are dark, and closer to brown.
Lightly salted herring in plastic packaging and red caviar are products that should only be stored in oil. But if there’s no oil inside the package or inside the jar (with the caviar), then a prohibited addictive substance called urotropine has been added to the product.
Mayonnaise in a plastic package. If the walls of the package aren’t thick enough, oxygen can penetrate through them. It reacts with the mayonnaise, and the product oxidizes, deteriorates faster, and loses its color and taste. So the buyer runs the risk of purchasing a product that has already completely expired.
It’s worth carefully studying the ingredients list.
Everyone’s favorite gummy bears are just a mixture of sugar, starch, citric acid, and gelatin. As you know, gelatin is made from the waste of the meat industry like bones, skin, and cartilage, which get ground up and boiled.
Granola has long been a synonym for a healthy diet. However, the store version of this product contains a lot of sugar. It would be much cheaper and healthier to make granola yourself by mixing oatmeal, nuts, berries, and fruits.
Many people know that there is not even a trace of crab in crab sticks, but they continue to buy them. Experts say, “Crab sticks have nothing to do with crab or fish. And despite the low-calorie content, the product is composed of carbohydrates and chemical additives.”
Discounts are not always profitable.
Bright price tags attract customers and create the feeling of getting a good bargain. But sometimes, this is just a way to distinguish a particular product from many others, and the bright price tag doesn’t always guarantee that the purchase will be profitable for you.
But deception doesn’t just happen with discounts.
You should be aware of bright and perfect looking vegetables, as they are often filled with chemicals that give them an attractive look. Naturally grown vegetables have a duller color.
When buying vegetables and fruits, you should follow a rule — buy fruits when they are in season. In general, choose fruits that have been harvested recently and nearby. The fresher the fruit, the more useful it is, and the closer it grows, the less the seller has to come up with different tricks to preserve its presentation.
Even beekeepers won’t be able to assess the quality of honey in a sealed package. So an attractive product can be either filled with added sugar or previously heated. Experts especially advise that we avoid surrogates — “creamed honey” or “honey mousse” are just confectionery products.
Bags with frozen vegetables often contain as much ice as vegetables. Apart from that, frozen vegetables are usually just as healthy as fresh ones. But it’s worth remembering that they might lose vitamins during the freezing process.
Low-fat kefir
According to doctor and nutritionist Mariat Mukhina, it’s better to choose kefir with a fat content of 3.2%. Low-fat kefir contains no fat, and fat-soluble vitamins, like vitamin D, can’t be absorbed in the absence of fat molecules. And vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption.
Products that contain sweeteners
German scientists say that although sweeteners don’t provoke the risk of cancer, their use is unjustified — they don’t help normalize the amount of sugar in the blood or help you lose weight.

I once fed a stray dog. He let me pet him and accompanied me to a bus stop. It happened again and again. Sometime later, I started to forget about this dog until I saw a pile of poop next to my house. I buried the poop into the ground. A week later, I saw poop again. I don’t know why but I thought it was the dog leaving me messages. As an experiment, I left some food for him and went to work. When I came back, I saw that the food was gone and the poop was buried. So now, if I see the dog, he runs to me and accompanies me, and if we don’t meet, he leaves me a message. © n0sferatu / Pikabu

brightside--2020-12-20--11 Celebrities Who Shunned Cosmetic Surgery and Embraced Their Natural Look

Most people are of the opinion that show business and cosmetic surgery go hand in hand .
And they can ’ t be blamed for it .
After all , there are many celebrities out there who follow a series of beauty standards that are far from being real— or realistic .
And , many times , in order to comply with these , they feel the need to go through surgery as many times as necessary .
Still , it ’ s important to keep in mind that there are other celebrities who , empowered as they are , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ grow old and their body will age .
They celebrate natural bodies .
She has one of the most charming smiles in Hollywood , and is one of the celebrities who chose to stay away from plastic surgery .
“ I want my kids to know when I ’ m pissed , when I ’ m happy , and when I ’ m confounded .
Your face tells a story and it shouldn ’ t be a story about your drive to the doctor ’ s office , ” Roberts explained when she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the new face for Lancome ’ s ad campaign .
At 75 , the Oscar winner that starred in movie The Queen looks gorgeous .
But her beauty has absolutely nothing to do with plastic surgery .
It ’ s more about resorting to a few makeup tricks and cutting her hair herself .
“ I did not want that overly smooth face that ’ s hardly recognizable .
I ’ ve been retouched in movie posters and I look at it and go : ’ Well , it ’ s all very @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , but , it ’ s not me at all .
It ’ s some construct up there , ” declared the actress during an interview with British paper The Daily Mail .
And she says that the only procedure she recently had done is tattooing her eyebrows , which she says boosted her confidence to new levels .
Winona Ryder is another example of an actress that feels comfortable in her own skin , regardless of her age , and has no intention whatsoever of undergoing plastic surgery , or at least @ @ @ @ @ @ @ does , however , recognize the pressure that actors and actresses feel in relation to this question .
The actress from Edward Scissorhands prefers to stay away from surgery because , according to her own words , she actually loves getting older and has waited a long time to have an older appearance .
Comedian and screenwriter Tina Fey says that she likes the challenge of her changing appearance as she grows old .
She still admits to being a little confused about the tendency to get rid of every single sign of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
She also says that she prefers to not use Botox as a magical cure for everything and instead tries to just stay in shape .
During an interview with People magazine , Annie Hall ’ s star said she has a great method to figure out who has had plastic surgery and who hasn ’ t .
It consists of just looking at their hands , and if these vary in relation to their face , it means that the person probably underwent some kind of surgery at some point .
Still @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ t mean that she neglects her appearance .
Instead , it actually proves that her secrets to looking beautiful , namely exercising and not dyeing her hair to brighten up her face , work like a charm .
Once known as the face of French fashion , model and actress Brigitte Bardot has consistently said “ no ” to plastic surgery , making it very clear that her days as an international personality were over when she shot her last movie back in 1973 .
Today , the actress is committed to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on her 86th birthday , she made one of her wishes come true — to make sure that we as a race get to a point in which we treat animals with respect .
Despite being a model and appearing on the covers of the most popular magazines of the fashion industry , Hunter says she is horrified when she looks at pictures of herself .
And that is even though she ’ s actually comfortable with the way she looks in real life .
However , her perception of herself changed when @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Rachel Hunter ’ s Tour of Beauty .
“ After going on this journey and seeing other cultures , away went that superficial idea of beauty .
Our ideas of beauty are old and need to be shattered .
We have no self-acceptance , ” she told British newspaper The Daily Mail during an interview .
During an interview with People magazine , actress Amanda Peet from Dirty John said that her daughters are one of the main reasons she would never have plastic surgery .
She adds that we ’ re all @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have to go down the road of acceptance instead of trying to hide our aging body .
That , of course , doesn ’ t mean that Peet doesn ’ t worry about having a nice appearance .
She still resorts to tooth whitening treatments , hair dyeing , and anti-aging creams .
In a sort of reminder note to herself that she posted on her Twitter account , Pink wrote : “ Dear Me , you ’ re getting older .

Most people are of the opinion that show business and cosmetic surgery go hand in hand. And they can’t be blamed for it. After all, there are many celebrities out there who follow a series of beauty standards that are far from being real— or realistic. And, many times, in order to comply with these, they feel the need to go through surgery as many times as necessary. Still, it’s important to keep in mind that there are other celebrities who, empowered as they are, are encouraged to accept that they will grow old and their body will age. They celebrate natural bodies.
And Bright Side wanted to make people aware of this very healthy new trend that shows how acceptance can be a choice too, so we made a list of 11 celebrities who’ve refused to get plastic surgery.
1. Julia Roberts
She has one of the most charming smiles in Hollywood, and is one of the celebrities who chose to stay away from plastic surgery. “I want my kids to know when I’m pissed, when I’m happy, and when I’m confounded. Your face tells a story and it shouldn’t be a story about your drive to the doctor’s office,” Roberts explained when she was interviewed by People magazine after becoming the new face for Lancome’s ad campaign.
2. Helen Mirren
At 75, the Oscar winner that starred in movie The Queen looks gorgeous. But her beauty has absolutely nothing to do with plastic surgery. It’s more about resorting to a few makeup tricks and cutting her hair herself. “I did not want that overly smooth face that’s hardly recognizable. I’ve been retouched in movie posters and I look at it and go: ’Well, it’s all very well, I look kind of great, but, it’s not me at all. It’s some construct up there,” declared the actress during an interview with British paper The Daily Mail. And she says that the only procedure she recently had done is tattooing her eyebrows, which she says boosted her confidence to new levels.
3. Winona Ryder
Winona Ryder is another example of an actress that feels comfortable in her own skin, regardless of her age, and has no intention whatsoever of undergoing plastic surgery, or at least none that we know of. She does, however, recognize the pressure that actors and actresses feel in relation to this question. The actress from Edward Scissorhands prefers to stay away from surgery because, according to her own words, she actually loves getting older and has waited a long time to have an older appearance.
4. Tina Fey
Comedian and screenwriter Tina Fey says that she likes the challenge of her changing appearance as she grows old. She still admits to being a little confused about the tendency to get rid of every single sign of aging before it can even be noticed. She also says that she prefers to not use Botox as a magical cure for everything and instead tries to just stay in shape.
5. Diane Keaton
During an interview with People magazine, Annie Hall’s star said she has a great method to figure out who has had plastic surgery and who hasn’t. It consists of just looking at their hands, and if these vary in relation to their face, it means that the person probably underwent some kind of surgery at some point. Still, her firm stance against surgery doesn’t mean that she neglects her appearance. Instead, it actually proves that her secrets to looking beautiful, namely exercising and not dyeing her hair to brighten up her face, work like a charm.
6. Brigitte Bardot
Once known as the face of French fashion, model and actress Brigitte Bardot has consistently said “no” to plastic surgery, making it very clear that her days as an international personality were over when she shot her last movie back in 1973. Today, the actress is committed to the fight for animal rights, and on her 86th birthday, she made one of her wishes come true — to make sure that we as a race get to a point in which we treat animals with respect.
7. Rachel Hunter
Despite being a model and appearing on the covers of the most popular magazines of the fashion industry, Hunter says she is horrified when she looks at pictures of herself. And that is even though she’s actually comfortable with the way she looks in real life. However, her perception of herself changed when she started working on the television series Rachel Hunter’s Tour of Beauty. “After going on this journey and seeing other cultures, away went that superficial idea of beauty. Our ideas of beauty are old and need to be shattered. We have no self-acceptance,” she told British newspaper The Daily Mail during an interview.
8. Amanda Peet
During an interview with People magazine, actress Amanda Peet from Dirty John said that her daughters are one of the main reasons she would never have plastic surgery. She adds that we’re all going to get wrinkles, so we have to go down the road of acceptance instead of trying to hide our aging body. That, of course, doesn’t mean that Peet doesn’t worry about having a nice appearance. She still resorts to tooth whitening treatments, hair dyeing, and anti-aging creams.
9. Pink
In a sort of reminder note to herself that she posted on her Twitter account, Pink wrote: “Dear Me, you’re getting older. I see lines. Especially when you smile. Your nose is getting bigger. You look (and feel) weird as you get used to this new reality. But your nose looks like your kids, and your face wrinkles where you laugh.” According to her own statements, the singer and songwriter chooses to accept the natural aging process and does not support any type of plastic surgery.
10. Judi Dench
The British actress and writer defends the idea of aging naturally and is against all kinds of cosmetic surgery. However, she did admit that she once considered going under the knife. “Every time I go to America I wonder if there is some process where it could be all sucked out and I could be there in time for dinner, but I’m frightened it would all drop off under the anesthetic,” said the Oscar winner jokingly after her astonishing performance in Shakespeare in Love.
11. Jennifer Aniston
Aniston agrees with several of the women on this list about the fact that people in showbiz feel a certain pressure to stop the passage of time. And she explains that she doesn’t shoot anything into her face because there are other things that women can do to look young and beautiful. She mentions hydration, facial massages, and creams as examples of those. In addition, the actress believes that fashion should broaden up its beauty standards to include people of all ages, not just perfect 20-year-old women.

One year ago, I took part in an online course on decluttering. During the 3 weeks of this passive process, I was able to throw away 2 huge bags of useless stuff. I threw away some of it, and donated the rest to charity organizations. I’ve even managed to sell some of the things online and now my apartment has more space.
The most important thing is to look at your apartment as if it’s the first time you’ve ever seen it. Every box, every magnet, every piece of paper. Your goal is to decide if you really need something. I wanted to share my experience with Bright Side readers and talk about what you can easily get rid of right now. And at the end of the article, there’s a bonus on how to create order in a digital world.
Old bed linens and towels
Bed linens not only contribute to the interior design of the bedroom, but they also influence the quality of your sleep. You may have gotten used to your current bed linens, but you should give them a clear look: if they’re faded or if they have some holes, it’s time to throw them away. For starters, choose a couple of the worst sets that you have and throw them away and it will be a good reason to buy new ones. You don’t have to actually throw away bed linens and old towels: you can donate them to nursing homes or animal shelters. You can do something good and still get rid of your old stuff.
Hangers from clothing stores
Many of us adopted the habit of not throwing anything away, but this is often pointless. The bad clothes hangers we get for free when buying something at a store don’t look good and don’t keep their shape for a long time. You probably have enough money to replace them with better ones.
Things without a match
No matter how much you love some of your socks, gloves, or earrings, if you can’t find their match, it’s pointless to keep them. Of course, if you have some gold, you can sell it but there’s not much you can do with old socks, gloves, or cheap rings.
Useless cards
Many stores and services offer discount cards. If you didn’t love the service or the store is somewhere you are not likely to go again, there’s no point keeping these cards. The same is true for business cards, especially if you got them several years ago and have never used them since.
Old underwear
Even if you are the only person that sees your underwear, don’t wear old undergarments. This attitude toward yourself lowers your self-esteem because when you agree to something bad, you’re depriving yourself of something good. Besides, a regular bra is only good for 6 months to one year. After that, it doesn’t perform its function of supporting the breasts well.
Empty boxes
It’s hard to explain why many of us keep different boxes. Let’s be honest: the box from a new TV, ice skates, toys, or kitchen stuff is something you are never going to use again. You can bring these boxes to a paper recycling unit.
Clothes and shoes that are not necessary for your lifestyle now
I used to love wearing short skirts and dresses. I can still wear them but I don’t really want to. This is why I seriously reconsidered my wardrobe and I got rid of all the clothes and shoes that are not my style anymore. The clothes that were in a good condition, I sold online, the rest I donated to charity organizations. It feels so good when you give a second life to the things you’ve gotten tired of.
Wires and cases from old phones
Again, you have to be smart about this: Are you really going to need a case for the phone you don’t use anymore? Maybe the charger will be useful if you’re still using the same brand. Throw away broken disks and flash drives.
Jewelry and accessories you’re not going to wear
I like jewelry that is cheap and different. You can buy something that is really trendy and get rid of it when the trend is gone. The same is true for the cheap bags and headscarves that I bought impulsively. I donated these things and I hope they can make someone else happy.
Paper trash
Old notes, warranty papers, contracts you don’t need anymore — people keep this stuff for decades. You can do the same with this trash that you did with the boxes.
Everything that’s expired
I throw away expired foods as soon as I see them. But when I decided to check the medications, beauty products, detergents, and stuff like that, I was surprised: half of the things I had were expired. I don’t know what might happen if you use expired face cream but who wants to risk their health to find out?
Broken and useless toys
It’s not always easy to talk your kid into throwing away some of the toys they don’t play with. But kids grow up and their interests change. In my house, we have the rule of 2 boxes: when the toys don’t fit there, we check what can be thrown away. If a toy is broken, we throw it away, and if it’s functional, we give it to charity or sell it. We can buy something new with the money we get and it saves money and space.
Plates with dents and other defects, and those you simply don’t like
Plates with damage not only look bad, but they are also not safe. For example, if you cook on something with a damaged Teflon cover, you can get the so-called polymer-fume fever. Throw this stuff away immediately. The same is true for plates and glasses that someone gave you 10 years ago and that you just don’t like. Try selling them, and give up any hope that you will love them one day. Someone will use them and that is better than having them take up space in your house.
Books you are not going to read again
I love paper books which is why I often buy them. But there are some in my collection that I’ve read once and I will probably never open again. There’s no need to keep them, so I gave them to a library. They were happy to take these books and I’m happy that someone will read them and enjoy them.
Old washcloths and toothbrushes
Experts say that we should change our toothbrushes once every 3-4 months or even more often if you’ve been ill. Washcloths can be used for about 6 months and then they turn into a perfect environment for germs. Replace these things — it not only feels good, but it’s also healthy.
Everything broken and unused
A burned coffee maker, a kettle that doesn’t turn on, a watch that doesn’t work, and boots that have holes in them. Everyone probably has something like this. You always think, “I’ll get it fixed” but let’s be honest: you will never do this. Either get it fixed now or throw this stuff away.
Souvenirs and magnets you don’t like
Cheap things that colleagues and relatives give to us are kept for years out of politeness. All these plastic things don’t make us happy and they just collect the dust. Take a good look at your souvenirs and only keep the things you really like or love. Throw away the rest.
Everything that has ended
When I was a child, I never threw away pens because I could buy a pencil refill and use it again. Now, the pens are cheap and it’s easier to buy new ones. Check anything that could have dried up: from nail polishes to markers. The same goes for perfumes that you don’t like or that are finished. Experts claim that you can’t store perfumes for more than 3-5 years. Expired perfumes might cause an allergic reaction or just change the smell, so why take the risk?
Bonus: Don’t forget to sort your e-mail and your social media
It’s hard to imagine life today without online communication, so it’s better to sort out your online space too. Look at your contacts on social media and think about whether you need all the people you have on your list of friends. If you can’t remember someone and you see that they were online in 2015 last time, you don’t need this contact. In my e-mail box, there were more than 25,000 letters and after sorting them out, I ended up with 10 times fewer. Because of piles of garbage and useless notifications, I missed some really important work-related messages which I found accidentally. Do this at least twice a year so you don’t miss some good opportunities.
What other things do you think should definitely be thrown away?

Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Pinterest Everyone that owns a cat definitely knows that there is never a dull moment when they ’ re around .
Every cat has its own temperament and way of thinking that we , as humans , don ’ t fully understand .
All cats take their owner ’ s seats , beg for their food , and get into things they shouldn ’ t .
“ For 5 months , my cat wouldn ’ t even look at his house .

Everyone that owns a cat definitely knows that there is never a dull moment when they’re around. Every cat has its own temperament and way of thinking that we, as humans, don’t fully understand. All cats take their owner’s seats, beg for their food, and get into things they shouldn’t.
We at Bright Side are sure that people’s lives become much more fun when they get a cat, so here’s a compilation of photos that prove this.
“Apparently I’m not allowed to pee alone.”
“For 5 months, my cat wouldn’t even look at his house. Now, the entrance is facing the ceiling and he loves it!”
Reaction to my vacuum cleaner
Open and shut case
“I just tried to hold my husband’s hand and my cat was not pleased about it.”
“My cat hit me with a, ’We need to talk’ expression.”
“One morning I saw this...”
9 cats in one
“He won’t let me grow any onions.”
“When you wake up a guy that didn’t let you sleep half of the night.”
Absolutely zero shame
It must be so comfortable...
“Saw this face in Egypt.”
“Had to make a snuggle sling for my kitty since she kept jumping on the keyboard and distracting me from my paper writing.”
He somehow fits perfectly in there
“My cat is watching us eat with a sad face. He ignores all of his food but he wants my broccoli. I gave him a piece and now he wants more.”

Charlie Chaplin and Edna Purviance starred in more than 30 movies together. Some actors have such great chemistry that directors want to see them together more than once. And we totally agree with them, because some duos are just meant to be together, even if only in a fictional reality.
Here at Bright Side, we love movies. This time, we want to highlight the best movie duos who stole our hearts more than once.
1. Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling
Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling first appeared together in 2011 in Crazy, Stupid, Love and totally won our hearts from the very beginning. Fortunately, they paired perfectly: Emma said that she loved working with Ryan so much that she wanted to make as many movies with him as she could. It seems like her wish was granted. After that, they played a couple 2 more times: in 2013 in Gangster Squad and again in 2016 in La La Land.
2. Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio
Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio first met on the set of Titanic in 1997. They developed a very strong friendship and have been ever-present in each other’s lives since then. Leonardo even walked Kate down the aisle on her wedding day. 11 years after the release of Titanic, they played a married couple in the movie Revolutionary Road.
3. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt
4. Saoirse Ronan and Timothée Chalamet
Another favorite duo was born in 2017 with the movie Lady Bird. Timothée and Saoirse are close friends in real life and a great match on set. Timothée said that with Saoirse, he sometimes doesn’t even feel like he’s acting. In 2019, they played close friends in Little Women. We’ll soon see them acting together again in the upcoming 2021 movie The French Dispatch. However, we don’t know yet who their characters are going to be to each other.
5. Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson
This collaboration dates back to 1993 when they first acted together. By today, Willis and Jackson have already appeared together in 5 movies. Some of their most famous movies are Pulp Fiction (1994), Die Hard with a Vengeance (1995), and Glass (2019).
6. Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly
7. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan
Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan have played a couple several times. Their first movie, Joe Versus the Volcano, wasn’t a big success. However, the 2 that followed, Sleepless in Seattle (1993) and You’ve Got Mail (1998), are dearly loved. In 2015, they appeared together in Ithaca, directed by Meg Ryan herself.
8. Robert De Niro and Joe Pesci

But it seems like Pesci didn’t take offense, because they worked together 4 more times afterward. The most recent of their collaborations was The Irishmen (2019) that received 10 Oscar nominations.
9. Drew Barrymore and Adam Sandler
This duo is responsible for cheering us up. Their first movie together was The Wedding Singer (1998), and they managed to pair up perfectly. They definitely have a special chemistry on screen, so it’s no wonder they acted together again later in 50 First Dates (2004) and Blended (2014).
10. Tina Fey and Amy Poehler
These ladies are perfect to watch if you need to relax after a hard day. Luckily for us, they have quite a few movies, including Baby Mama (2008), Sisters (2015), and Wine Country (2019). Tina Fey and Amy Poehler are best friends in real life, so it’s no wonder they radiate their energy through the screen.
11. Julia Roberts and Richard Gere
Unfortunately, Julia Roberts and Richard Gere only have 2 movies together. Still, it was enough for them to play lovers 2 times, in Pretty Woman (1990) and Runaway Bride (1999), to win our hearts and make us believe they’re meant to be.
12. Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter
There are probably no actors in the whole of Hollywood that would match better than Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter. They seem to be a male and female version of some atmospheric and creepy Tim Burton characters. For now, they have 6 collaborations, 5 of which were directed by Tim Burton.
13. Uma Thurman and John Travolta
Many of us remember the dancing scene with these 2 in Pulp Fiction (1994). It turns out that Uma Thurman was aware of Travolta’s famous ability to dance and was very reluctant to dance with him. But it seems like she eventually became more relaxed around him. Later, they appeared in 2 more movies together: Be Cool (2005) and Savages (2012).
14. Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise
Tom Cruise himself chose Nicole Kidman, who was then just beginning her career, to play his character’s love interest in Days of Thunder (1990). It became their first collaboration, and it looks like Cruise didn’t miss. Later, they paired up 2 more times: in Far and Away (1992) and Eyes Wide Shut (1999).
What is your favorite movie duo of all time?

And to explore macro photography on your own, the only thing you need is a macro lens. Depositphotos photographers take hundreds of macro photos every day that give us goosebumps. We invite you to the entertaining world of microphotography here and right now! Do you recognize fern leaves at 5x zoom? Can you distinguish a horsefly from a North American jumping spider? And what about ice under a microscope? Let’s find out.
#1
Meet a typical wolf spider. These insects can be found on our planet everywhere except Antarctica. You can spot spiders like this in forests or near bodies of water.
#2
Here is another widespread spider called Saitis barbipes. This is a jumping spider. Although it might look menacing in macro photographs, you’d hardly notice it without a special lens. This spider is only a few millimeters in size.
#3
You’ve probably heard of silkworms. Did you know that there are also weaver ants whose nests are made up of leaves held together by silk threads? You can find these ants in Africa and South Asia not only in forests but also in some national dishes.
#4
Say hello to this little green hairstreak butterfly. Insects of this kind are mentioned in the poems of ancient writers, as well as in legends born in the British Isles. This butterfly is very difficult to spot in the wild, as it never rests with its wings open.
#5
A butterfly wing consists of a strong frame and soft membranes. Take a closer look at its pixel-like structure. It resembles old monochrome displays.
#6
This is another photo of a butterfly wing that is completely covered with pollen.
#7
Let us introduce you to the dragonfly, the oldest insect that we can come into contact with in nature. Dragonflies live in all the countries of the world and are very important for our comfort, as they eat blood-sucking insects.
#8
This is what the crimson marsh glider looks like. You can find it in Southeast Asia and across the Indian subcontinent. Unlike males (depicted in the picture), female dragonflies of this type have a gray-green hue and are hardly noticeable.
#9
This photo shows the skin of a starfish. This creature has many names, including “horned sea star,” “knobby,” or “chocolate chip.” Knobby loves to spend time on the soft warm seabed, so they are easy to spot on the beach when visiting the Indo-Pacific region.
#10
Let’s enjoy the mother of pearl shell of abalones. These marine snails are often called “ear shells” and “muttonfish.” Abalone shells are used in jewelry making.
#11
Rhinoceros beetles are the largest living beetles and they are also truly long-livers among insects. These beetles can grow up to 15 cm long and live for over 3 years.
#12
On a warm summer day, meeting a horsefly will not please any of us. These insects not only have painful bites and feed on blood, but they also carry dangerous diseases.
#13
And this is how hypnotic and frightening the horsefly eye looks. Its gaze can be compared to that of the Mona Lisa. But unlike the woman from Leonardo da Vinci’s painting, this insect is really following us with its gaze.
#14
And why not imagine that we ourselves have shrunk to the size of insects? Here’s a huge flower covered in dew. One drop is enough to quench your thirst.
#15
And another giant plant is covered in a thousand drops of water. Macro photography shows us that water drops really do form perfect spheres.
#16
This is how we would see flowers if we were the size of a bee.
#17
The term macro photography is used to describe photographs that depict objects at a 1:1 scale or larger. For shooting, you can use almost any camera. However, to get an image like this, you need to use a microscope with a photography feature.
#18
Can you see the piece of ice in this picture? A microscope was also used to shoot this.
#19
This is not a photo filter effect! This is what the Titanium Aura quartz looks like. This mineral is a form of quartz combined with the toughest metal on Earth, titanium. It is often used in healing rituals.
#20
The macrocosm amazes us every second. Look at this peacock feather captured on camera.

brightside--2020-12-21--A Vet Explains How to Pick Up Your Cat Like a Pro (Bye Bye Scratches)

Cat owners know that these little furry friends are not always willing to be picked up .
Sometimes , you just try to pick up your pet and you end up with a big red scratch on your face .
Cats don ’ t really care if you have to take them to the vet or whatever .
Picking up and carrying a cat can be a simple operation ( and safe , you really don ’ t need to get scratched ) .
But for that to happen , Dr. Uri Burstyn , a veterinarian from Canada , told @ @ @ @ @ @ @ by checking whether or not your pet is willing to be picked up .
Whether it is because you want to express your love for your cat or because you actually have to hold it to give it some medicine , carrying them is a delicate operation .
Still , everything can go just fine and you can manage not to be scratched if you do things right .
The trick is pretty simple , and actually quite straightforward : you have to make your cat feel comfortable and safe before and while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ what would be the very first thing you ’ d expect someone to do if they want to hold you ?
Dr. Burstyn gives away the answer in this video .
The first thing you have to make sure of is that your pet agrees to be held .
Start by approaching your cat cautiously .
That way , he or she will be able to first sniff your fingers .
Also , if you ’ re afraid of getting scratched , you can just pull them away .
The goal is to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on its cheeks or under its chin , always gently .
If you see your cat is happy and accepts you petting them , you can proceed and hold it .
If not , it is better to just leave it alone .
The veterinarian says that “ the key to picking up a cat safely is to make them feel supported.
” We can do that by placing one hand on the cat ’ s chest while the other hand is on its abdominal area .
Then slowly lift the kitty up @ @ @ @ @ @ @ this way , it will not be hanging from its armpits .
As long as it feels comfortable , the cat will not feel compelled to “ kick ” in the air with its hind legs , which also lessens your chances of being scratched .
Now , if we want to prevent it from running away , the secret is to put a bit of pressure on it .
If you already have the cat in your arms , it is recommended to hold it close to your body .
Then , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ still , for example , so you can cut its nails or something like that , you can just hold it closer to your body .
Don ’ t be afraid of doing this , because the cat will not only not feel pain , it will actually feel protected and safe , so it will stop moving .
Another way to hold a cat is what Dr. Burstyn calls the “ football carry technique , ” you ’ ll see why in a minute .
This technique basically consists of a simple @ @ @ @ @ @ @ abdomen and its bottom , while making sure that its head is located under our arm .
If you ’ ve ever held a football , you ’ ll probably understand what it feels like .
In this case , you can also be holding the cat tightly against your chest so that it feels safe and secure .
If you ever find yourself in an emergency situation or in some scenario where you have to act fast , this technique is probably the best call to pick up your cat .
It @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also comes with the added benefit that one of your hands will always be laying on its back , so that makes it way easier to control its hind legs and prevent it from scratching you .
This is the type of grip that requires the least amount of work from our side since the cat will be doing its part too .
The idea is pretty simple .
Start by getting close to the cat and then let it climb up to one of your shoulders .
Once it starts climbing , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on its bottom to give it more support .
With the other hand , press its back tightly against you to give it that sense of security we were talking about before .
When your pet wants to come down , just lean over to a nearby surface , like the floor or the bed .
The cat will understand that it has to come down and will turn around and jump on its own feet .
As the name suggests , this technique is pretty similar to the one we normally use @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Simply start by lifting up the cat and then placing a hand on its chest .
Your arm will be on its bottom and will act as support to lift up the cat .
Then let the cat rest on its back on your arm and gently place the opposite hand on its chest .
However , keep in mind that you should only try this technique if the cat trusts you and you know each other well .
If it ’ s not the case , you might be better off @ @ @ @ @ @ @ re exposing yourself to some serious scratching !
What you should never do Just like there are many appropriate ways to pick up and hold a cat , there are some inappropriate ones that could even end up harming your pet .
For instance , it is not recommended for you to hold your cat by the armpits , using your index fingers and thumbs as support .
Not only is it very uncomfortable for the animal , but it is also unsafe .
The part that connects its front legs to its @ @ @ @ @ @ @ could hurt it or make it sore if you pick it up and make the weight of the cat hang from there only .
It is also not a good idea to lift the cat up by its front legs .
It ’ s almost a sure thing that it will be afraid of falling and will keep moving its hind legs in such a way that it could scratch you .

Cat owners know that these little furry friends are not always willing to be picked up. Sometimes, you just try to pick up your pet and you end up with a big red scratch on your face.

But for that to happen, Dr. Uri Burstyn, a veterinarian from Canada, told us what his secret is.
Bright Side found out everything about Dr. Uri Burstyn’s technique on how to pick up a cat correctly and wrote this article for you in the hopes that we will save you from getting scratched next time you have to take your cat somewhere!
Start by checking whether or not your pet is willing to be picked up.

If you see your cat is happy and accepts you petting them, you can proceed and hold it. If not, it is better to just leave it alone.
Pick up technique #1: Chest and abdominal grip
The veterinarian says that “the key to picking up a cat safely is to make them feel supported.” We can do that by placing one hand on the cat’s chest while the other hand is on its abdominal area. Then slowly lift the kitty up. By lifting up the cat in this way, it will not be hanging from its armpits. As long as it feels comfortable, the cat will not feel compelled to “kick” in the air with its hind legs, which also lessens your chances of being scratched. Now, if we want to prevent it from running away, the secret is to put a bit of pressure on it. If you already have the cat in your arms, it is recommended to hold it close to your body. Then, if you need for it to be still, for example, so you can cut its nails or something like that, you can just hold it closer to your body. Don’t be afraid of doing this, because the cat will not only not feel pain, it will actually feel protected and safe, so it will stop moving.
Pick up technique #2: The football carry
Another way to hold a cat is what Dr. Burstyn calls the “football carry technique,” you’ll see why in a minute. This technique basically consists of a simple way of holding the cat by its abdomen and its bottom, while making sure that its head is located under our arm. If you’ve ever held a football, you’ll probably understand what it feels like. In this case, you can also be holding the cat tightly against your chest so that it feels safe and secure. If you ever find yourself in an emergency situation or in some scenario where you have to act fast, this technique is probably the best call to pick up your cat. It’s efficient and safe. It also comes with the added benefit that one of your hands will always be laying on its back, so that makes it way easier to control its hind legs and prevent it from scratching you.
Pick up technique #3: The shoulder carry
This is the type of grip that requires the least amount of work from our side since the cat will be doing its part too. The idea is pretty simple. Start by getting close to the cat and then let it climb up to one of your shoulders. Once it starts climbing, you just have to place your hand on its bottom to give it more support. With the other hand, press its back tightly against you to give it that sense of security we were talking about before. When your pet wants to come down, just lean over to a nearby surface, like the floor or the bed. The cat will understand that it has to come down and will turn around and jump on its own feet.
Pick up technique # 4: The baby carry
As the name suggests, this technique is pretty similar to the one we normally use to hold a baby in our arms. Simply start by lifting up the cat and then placing a hand on its chest. Your arm will be on its bottom and will act as support to lift up the cat. Then let the cat rest on its back on your arm and gently place the opposite hand on its chest. However, keep in mind that you should only try this technique if the cat trusts you and you know each other well. If it’s not the case, you might be better off trying a different technique or you’re exposing yourself to some serious scratching!
What you should never do
Just like there are many appropriate ways to pick up and hold a cat, there are some inappropriate ones that could even end up harming your pet. For instance, it is not recommended for you to hold your cat by the armpits, using your index fingers and thumbs as support. Not only is it very uncomfortable for the animal, but it is also unsafe. The part that connects its front legs to its torso is a muscle, and you could hurt it or make it sore if you pick it up and make the weight of the cat hang from there only. It is also not a good idea to lift the cat up by its front legs. It’s almost a sure thing that it will be afraid of falling and will keep moving its hind legs in such a way that it could scratch you.


brightside--2020-12-21--Why Most Asian People Don’t Need to Use Deodorant

Asian people generally do not have Rh-negative blood and hospitals don ’ t store it for transfusions .
Foreign travelers who have negative blood rhesus are in big trouble if they happen to need a blood transfusion .
There are so many ways in which Asians are different from other races , and one of them is that they usually don ’ t need to use deodorant to get rid of body odor .
We at Bright Side know that it doesn ’ t feel good to be envious , but we can ’ t help but be jealous of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ studies , don ’ t bother using deodorant on their armpits .
And it ’ s not because they don ’ t care about the smell of their body , but rather , it ’ s because of their special condition , and we ’ d love for you to find out more together with us .
It ’ s all about the “ smelly ” gene .
No one is born with smelly armpits as our body actually produces odorless sweat that is invaded by bacteria later on , and that ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But a recent study from the University of Bristol has uncovered the fact that whether your armpits smell or not depends on one particular gene called ABCC11 .
Initially , scientists thought this gene was only responsible for the consistency of earwax , making it either dry or wet .
In fact , it was discovered that 80 % to 95 % of East Asian people have dry earwax , whereas African and European people have wet .
And surprisingly , earwax consistency is related to the smell of the armpits .
As @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a special genetic condition , which is a lack of the gene , ABCC11 .
This makes their earwax dry because it lacks the substance that feeds bacteria .
The same thing happens with their sweat : it doesn ’ t smell because the bacteria stay “ hungry ” as the bodies of Asian people don ’ t produce this substance for their food .
European and African people aren ’ t as lucky as less than 3 % of them don ’ t have this gene while the rest do have it @ @ @ @ @ @ @ has an environment for them to thrive in , therefore , producing an odor .
Some people still use deodorant when they don ’ t need to .
Surprisingly , the vast majority of women continue to use deodorant , even if they don ’ t have this “ smelly gene.
” Genetic scientists suggest that pressure from society is the reason why some of us keep following various unnecessary hygienic routines simply because “ everyone else is doing it.
” How do you feel when you realize you don ’ t have @ @ @ @ @ @ @ your life hack for dealing with body odor ?

Asian people generally do not have Rh-negative blood and hospitals don’t store it for transfusions. Foreign travelers who have negative blood rhesus are in big trouble if they happen to need a blood transfusion. There are so many ways in which Asians are different from other races, and one of them is that they usually don’t need to use deodorant to get rid of body odor.
We at Bright Side know that it doesn’t feel good to be envious, but we can’t help but be jealous of Asian people who, according to different studies, don’t bother using deodorant on their armpits. And it’s not because they don’t care about the smell of their body, but rather, it’s because of their special condition, and we’d love for you to find out more together with us.
It’s all about the “smelly” gene.
No one is born with smelly armpits as our body actually produces odorless sweat that is invaded by bacteria later on, and that’s where the smell comes from. But a recent study from the University of Bristol has uncovered the fact that whether your armpits smell or not depends on one particular gene called ABCC11.
Initially, scientists thought this gene was only responsible for the consistency of earwax, making it either dry or wet. In fact, it was discovered that 80% to 95% of East Asian people have dry earwax, whereas African and European people have wet. And surprisingly, earwax consistency is related to the smell of the armpits.
As it turns out, Asian people have a special genetic condition, which is a lack of the gene, ABCC11. This makes their earwax dry because it lacks the substance that feeds bacteria. The same thing happens with their sweat: it doesn’t smell because the bacteria stay “hungry” as the bodies of Asian people don’t produce this substance for their food. European and African people aren’t as lucky as less than 3% of them don’t have this gene while the rest do have it, which is why their armpit bacteria has an environment for them to thrive in, therefore, producing an odor.
Some people still use deodorant when they don’t need to.
Surprisingly, the vast majority of women continue to use deodorant, even if they don’t have this “smelly gene.” Genetic scientists suggest that pressure from society is the reason why some of us keep following various unnecessary hygienic routines simply because “everyone else is doing it.”
