Hidden Features Of Everyday Things You Probably Didn’t Know by ludamix(m): 7:23am On Dec 29, 2016 |
The average person just love to use things without asking questions. Here are a few things we use everyday with hidden features you might not have noticed but means a lot and serve a lot of purpose. 1. The Little Hole In The Side Of A Pen At a first glance, it might strike you as just a design but it is there for a reason and meant to serve a good purpose. Without the hole, a pen will be completely airtight and as you write and use the ink, the pressure will fall preventing the ink from flowing to the tip and eventually the pen will cease to write although there is still ink in it. On highlands or in planes where the pressure is lower, a pen with no hole can explode soiling your attire with ink. The hole equalizes the pressure in the pen to allow it to write. So the next time you see it, you should know it is not just there for fun. 2. An Extra Piece Of Fabric Those who usually buy from “bend down boutiques” might not relate to this but if you’re the type who always buy brand new clothing from boutiques, you will notice there is a piece of fabric with a button on it tucked in the pocket of either a shirt or trousers. Many people actually think it is meant for patching when you get the attire torn but that’s far from it. It is actually meant for you to use to test how it will react with detergents when using your washing machine. So what you need to do with is by washing it to see how it will fade before washing the main attire to prevent colors from sipping into other fabrics. 3. Little Hole In A Padlock When you check the bottom of your padlock, you will notice there is a little hole close to where you put the key tounlocking the padlock. This might mean nothing to you but it is there for a purpose. The hole is meant for you to grease your padlock in case it gets rusty and gets stuck and you need to get oil in it. It is also meant to drain water that gets trapped in the padlock. If your padlock does not have the hole, then it is made out of stainless steel and it is supposed to be used indoors to prevent water from getting in. 4. The Punt Under Wine Bottles The dimple under wine bottles known as Punt are not just there for decoration purposes, it is actually there to help the wine sparkle while in storage. Had it not been because of the punt under wine bottles, the bottle will exert pressure from the wine and explode. 5.The Bump At The End Of A Laptop Cable The bump at the end of your laptop cable known as ferrite beads is not there to distract you or mess up your day. It is not just there for fun but serves a good purpose. It is there to prevent interference in the cable. 1 Like 1 Share
