10 Things Whose Purpose You Didn’t Know Before by Akpevwe9: 2:17pm On Aug 17, 2017 |
Plenty of everyday things we use, without having the slightest inclination, that some of these everyday things which we see and ignore, actually have a purpose for being there, which we are totally unaware of. In spite of us having the curious nature, yet these everyday things never struck us. Hence, it’s purpose were never understood because we didn’t know. Was going through the web with my itel P51 and saw some of these things and decided to share. 1. The Power cable cylinder Surely you must have observed a cylinder on the power cord of your laptop. It’s called the ferrite bead, which suppresses the high-frequency noise within the electronic circuits, like when the cell phone comes too close in contact and interferes with the laptop, giving a weird screeching sound.

2. Shirt with horizontal buttonholes Shirts are among the everyday things we use, where we have seen this first and last buttonhole of shirts being horizontal, with all the other holes being vertical. The reason is that the first and last button often needs to be intact and not open easily, hence, the horizontal holes gives the button a better fastening and grip.

4. Sneakers side eyelets The intention of the designers making those holes on the bottom of the converse training shoes was for ventilation purpose, as it was supposed to be perfectly fitting the feet without much space being given for movement. Therefore it gets some air passing.

6. Ballpoint pen cap hole The real purpose is that by accident if a child swallows the cover and gets choked, then this hole will reduce the risk of suffocation and will keep the airway free from closing.

7. Measurement tape hole The purpose for the little hole is to hook onto nails or screws safely when measuring, without the tape measure slipping off.

8. Measurement tape serrated edge This is surely something you didn’t know. It is meant to mark a point when measuring as both hands are occupied using the measuring tape. Hence the serrated edge helps in marking for later reference.

9. Gas gauge arrow Many surely didn’t know this while driving a car. This arrow basically indicates which side of the car is the gas tank cap, especially when you’re driving a rented vehicle. Makes it easier for you to park the vehicle at a gas station for refueling at the right direction.
