Now that you know why allstar shoes have two holes on the side and why sneakers have an extra hole on top, it's time to look at the functions of many other everyday things that we come across every day but don't know their purpose.

Sometimes I walk around the keyboard, sometimes in nature. One time I twist the heels, the other time the kitchen. I press the trigger once, the pedals a second time. And one time I play the role of a moviegoer, another time a nanny. Life offers such a wide range of things that it would be pointless to dip your brush in just a color or two, right?
There are many nostalgic things in old Ljubljana, but nothing evokes old times like the newly opened Nostalgija Vintage Cafe Bar & Shop, which will delight all lovers of nostalgia and the old. It is furnished in the original style of the 1950s and 1960s, but in between there are some pieces from an older year. The restaurant, which is also a vintage store, can be found on Kraków embankment.
Two artists – a painter and a computer animator – joined forces for a series of gifs that are real works of art and will literally suck you into the screen. Who would have thought that gifs would one day also have artistic value.
Why are people drilling a hole in the iPhone 7? Although it's more than clear from the video that the trick doesn't work, desperate new iPhone users are falling for a prank by YouTuber TechRex, who recently posted a video showing how to make a 3.5mm headphone jack, which we know Apple has iPhone 7 removed.
Tinder, a mobile dating app, is characterized by selecting people based on swiping right or left on the screen. Now Tinder is expanding this feature to other aspects of life, not just finding a suitable partner. Can't decide which dress or shoes to choose or which movie to watch? The mobile application Tinder Stacks allows you to have friends help you, who vote for the option simply by swiping right or left across the screen.
If you were wondering why people are flocking to Dartmouth Research University's greenhouse this weekend, it's to catch the bloom of the world's largest flower, which belongs to the Titan Arum flower, which also has the distinction of being the smelliest flower in the world, because the smell of its flower is reminiscent of the stench of corpses, moldy cheese or rotten meat. The flowering of the flower, which was discovered in 1878 by the Italian botanist Odoardo Beccari and whose flower lives for a maximum of three days, is extremely rare, which is why the flower is even more of an attraction.
From the column 'it's not true, but it is'. Apple, known for high-tech products such as iPhone, MacBook, iPad, etc., is trying to patent a paper bag. In March this year, an American company that files patents regularly, like our grandmothers fruits and vegetables, filed a patent for a regular shopping bag with handles. What's the trick? Will the bag have built-in wireless technology? Will she analyze the content? None of that.
For Peugeot, entering the world of cycling is nothing new. Did you know that it started manufacturing bicycles as early as 1882, and powered by an internal combustion engine eight years later? The production of cars and bicycles were separated in 1926, but in 2011 the French returned bicycles to the "mother" again. The Peugeot e-Bike eUO1s is not Peugeot's first bike, we only remember the AE21 hybrid from 2013 or the e-Bike eF01, which was presented together with the new generation of the Peugeot 5008 model, which can be integrated in the luggage compartment. Well, for more serious urban challenges, there is the e-bike Peugeot e-Bike eU01s.
Safety as standard! Dictators looking for a 100% safe vehicle got their car - an armored version of the Maybach S600 Pullman sedan, the Mercedes-Maybach S600 Pullman Guard, which Mercedes announced at the Geneva Motor Show at the launch of the standard version, and the armored one will debut at this year's Paris Motor Show. It boasts VR9 ballistic protection certification, which in practice means that both the windows and the body are capable of stopping bullets and protecting passengers in the event of an explosion in close proximity.
As children, we were taught that it is not wise to play with fire. Well, Steven Spazuk has obviously been sitting on his ears, as he has learned how to draw smudges, that is drawing with the help of smoke and soot left behind by a candle flame. In the last 15 years, he has perfected the so-called fumage painting technique, with which he uses flame instead of brushes and drawings for painting. Each of his works of art is unique due to the unpredictability of the flame.
The cold days are approaching and soon the scarf will fit around the neck, so it is time to slowly dust off the wardrobe for autumn and winter days. Why not think of something different, something unique this year? Why would Celine and Maja Dembowska's felt scarves warm you? Unlike fur, no animal has suffered because of these cuddly toy-like scarves.
First, Snapchat (as a company) is no longer Snapchat. Now it's just Snap. Second, and more importantly, Snap introduced Snapchat Spectacles, a pair of sunglasses for taking photos. The move is logical. Every second, more than 100 million active users of the Snapchat mobile application share more than nine thousand photos with each other. With the glasses, which will be available in three colors, it will be possible to capture both photos and videos.
