For most Slovenians, clean drinking water is a self-evident part of everyday life, while for others it is a commodity for which they have to fight. Because despite the fact that two-thirds of the Earth is covered by water, most of it is too salty to drink. Thus, almost 900 million people do not have access to safe drinking water, and even more can only dream of drinking tap water. Slovenians, in fact the majority of Europeans, are one of the few in the world with the privilege of not having to buy bottled water for a sip of water. Only a handful of countries can boast of this. Are you interested in which ones?

Even when celebrities pose in tracksuits, with their hair tied up and no makeup, their photos come out a little better than ours. Australian comedian Celeste Barber has turned this unfortunate reality into a funny photo series on Instagram, where she puts her recreations next to pictures of the stars - all under the "hashtag" #celestechallengeaccepted.

Children can fall asleep anywhere and anytime. Except when necessary. This is in kindergarten after lunch and at home in the evening, parents and educators would remark. In an ideal world, the evening routine of parents of young children is as follows. Brushing teeth, changing into pajamas, reading a fairy tale or singing a lullaby, a kiss on the forehead, turning off the lights and closing the door to the children's room. In the real world, the story is a little different, because we do not put a full stop here, because this is just the introduction. Many children refuse to sleep. But even children sometimes run out of energy, and not just at the end of the day. They don't mind if they eat a piece of bread, a shell or Lego blocks.
Many people are burdened with presenting themselves in the best possible light, wanting to please the masses, and thus sacrifice their true selves. They don't realize that their particularities are what make them unique. Love is no different either; in the effort to find someone as soon as possible, we often turn a blind eye and are completely blind to their flaws, but at the same time, their uniqueness. Is that why we say love is blind? No, love is not blind, we are!

Most of us live as if death does not exist for us. Death is a taboo subject. We ignore it, we don't like to talk about it and therefore we like to overhear it. But death, like birth, is an inseparable part of life, which we are terribly afraid of. BJ Miller, who provides palliative care, that is, care that holistically treats patients with an incurable disease and offers help to their loved ones, knows what it means when death knocks on your door, but at the same time, he knows how to prepare patients for the world. Take the time to check out what it has to say about what we humans think about death and what we really want at the end of life's journey.
Women still reach for razors most of the time. Probably because they are the cheapest and because we are already really good at shaving. What about our partners? Could we trust them to shave our legs? Here is a video of two couples where the girls just trusted their partners to do the work for them. And the result?
If Jean Eugène Robert-Houdin is considered the father of modern magic and David Copperfield the Harry Houdini of the end of the last century, the undisputed king of magic in the 21st century is the British magician and illusionist with the stage name Dynamo. Many say he's out of this planet, and when you watch a compilation of his best tricks, you'll probably agree.
Not knowing the language can be a big obstacle, and we're probably not the only ones who have ever wondered if a local was laughing at us or if he was actually swearing at us. This video can help you solve these kinds of puzzles. At the same time, how people swear around the world reveals a lot about the culture of the country itself. In Addis Ababa (Ethiopia), such an insult is a completely "innocent" word of a tapeworm, while in Shanghai, manipulative and duplicitous women are described as "vegetarian" slang.
Would you rather see the glass half empty than half full? Are you unable to look at life on the bright side? If you answered yes to these two questions, you are more than obviously a pessimist, and the "motivational" thoughts from the sequel are therefore perfect for you and your bedroom wall.
Europe is facing its worst refugee crisis since World War II. Hundreds of thousands of people - most of them from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan - are forced to leave their homes because of the war. In Europe, they are met with both support and hostility. And while leaders on the continent are still trying to resolve the refugee issue, major football teams across Europe are already helping to tackle the crisis. Football will always be a religion in Europe, but these days it proves that some things are simply more important than what happens in ninety minutes on the pitch.
