Since 2.3 billion people use Facebook on a daily basis, you’d think the database couldn’t possibly store so much information. You’d be wrong. Every group you join and every “like” you click lets Facebook know a little more about you.
While we can’t possibly know everything that goes on behind the scenes, we can check out all the information they have on each of us. Just enter your account settings, then click on the “ads” tab on the side and you’ll see “your information” and “your categories” tabs. Here you’ll find everything Facebook knows about you, from your political standing to your favorite bands.
iPhone Hole
If you're one of the 85.8 million iPhone users in the U.S., then you may or may not have noticed the tiny hole situated between your phone's camera and its flashlight. Actually, this hole is there in order to record your voice as accurately as possible.
It’s actually a tiny microphone. If you thought you were talking into the microphone when you press your mouth to the bottom of your phone, well, you'd be right. iPhone users are actually recorded from both ends of the phone to make the transmitted sound just that much better. But that still doesn't make up for making us buy new chargers for each model!
Car Keys
Most new cars these days come with a self-start feature, which lets you start your car before you are even inside. There are also massage services and hot beverage holder that actually heats up your drink, but that is for a different article. There is no argument that this is a great feature, nevertheless, most remotes will still come with a spare key to your car hidden inside them.
The extra key will let you start the car in case the remote's battery dies out, or there is an electronic malfunction. You will be thanking the makers on that one morning when you're running late to your meetings, and the car won't start.
Instant Oatmeal Packages
There are so many things that we didn't know about Instant oatmeal. One of the coolest things about instant oatmeal, when packaged in those individual packets, is that the packets are actually made out of a plastic-lined material so that you can reuse them to measure out the water you need to add. Larry, the guy on the Quaker packaging, has thought of all the little details.
Sadly, most of the fruit advertised isn’t real, or it may just be a different fruit in disguise. For instance, the strawberries and peaches in Quaker brand packets are actually just flavored dehydrated apples.
Juice Boxes
Juice boxes are kind of like miniature milk cartons. If you don't open them correctly, they may end up spilling all over everything. Let us start out by saying: you don’t need scissors to open a juice box. It would ruin the whole point of having a juice box, which is having a fun and easy beverage on the go. All you have to do is unpack your little straw carefully so that it doesn't bend and break, and put the pointy end through the designated hole at the top of the box.
However, sometimes even if you do this right, the box may spill anyway because of the pressure from inside. To avoid this, just lift the sides and squeeze in to give the juice a larger area to spread out before inserting the straw.
