Business administration, marketing, computer science – so pedestrian! Now, if you’re looking to take some really offbeat & fun college courses in the U.S. that’ll set you apart from the crowd, then how about giving one of these majors a go?1. Auctioneering Going once…going twice…and sold to anyone who wants to learn how to be a professional auctioneer! How on Earth do they talk so fast? Well, I guess if I want to know the answer to that question, then I’ll need to enroll in the Harrisburg Area Community College in Pennsylvania. They offer a course called Auctioneering that teaches you everything there is to know about the trade. Like learning how to obtain and appraise items correctly, working with buyers and sellers at every stage, the technical aspects, and, of course, chanting like a pro! (That’s what the fast talking is called.)2. Canadian Studies Ah, my quiet friendly neighbor to the North – a real mystery to many people in the world and even here in the States! What’s their history, their culture? What do they do up there anyway, and what’s with the funny accent, eh? If this is something that has always fascinated you, then how about majoring in Canadian Studies at Duke University in North Carolina? And, hey, if you’re a Canadian studying in the US, I bet you’ll ace this class with flying colors! What an easy “A”, eh?3. Ethical Hacking Oh, an oxymoron perhaps. Apparently, hacking isn’t a self-taught trade or something you can just google. I always imagined it like they show in the movies – you just start tapping on your keyboard very fast with an evil look of determination on your face, sitting there in your parents’ basement. …But looks like I could learn a thing or two from this course. So, Dakota State University offers the Ethical Hacking Graduate Certificate, where they’ll teach you all the tricks to exploit weaknesses and vulnerabilities in a wide range of technological systems. You’ll be known as an ethical or ‘white hat hacker’ as opposed to the bad guys we see in movies who hack into systems to steal money. Those kinds are known as a malicious or ‘black hat hacker’. You’ll basically be doing what those criminals do, but you’d do it for the right reasons as one of the ultimate security professionals in the world. Ah, so, hacking, but with principles!4. Astrobiology So, if biology is the study of living organisms and astro means space, then it must be a course focusing on the study of aliens! Ok, maybe not exactly, but if you major in Astrobiology, you’ll learn about the search for planets beyond our solar system, the origin and evolution of life on earth, and the sustainability of life in extreme environments. Just think, you might be the first person to communicate with extra-terrestrial life! Or at least find some amoeba on Mars or something…5. Entertainment Engineering and Design Studying the science of fun, sign me up! Why am I not surprised this course is given at the University of Nevada in Las Vegas? Any-who, getting a degree in Entertainment Engineering and Design will give you a better understanding of the art (and business!) of entertainment. You can learn the science of putting on an awesome light show, designing arenas, sound engineering, and even the legal, social, and safety aspects of the business. Have to appreciate the pros behind your good time in Vegas!6. Bowling Industry Management and Technology Speaking of having a good time, ever wanted to run your own bowling alley? Hey, you can’t break anything there! How about learning more about all that behind-the-scenes tech? Automatic pinsetters really are the best thing since sliced bread… Anyway, this course at Vincennes University in Indiana will really knock your pins down!7. Wasting Time on the Internet What better field of study to take when enrolling at a prestigious and historic Ivy League school like the University of Pennsylvania? If you’re hoping that your time in this class will be spent looking at memes and cat videos, then I’ve got great news – that’s exactly what you do! Ok, the Wasting Time on the Internet course does get a little deeper than that, delving into “the long history of the recuperation of boredom” and asking questions like “Could we reconstruct our autobiography using only Facebook?” yeah…8. Family Enterprise For all the students who are planning to run the family business after you graduate, you might want to major in Family Enterprise Management. The course is pretty much like Business Administration, but with a focus on, wait for it, family businesses! I guess there’s a different science to it?9. Nannying – ooh, that sounds like a goat: nnnnNannying. I’m sure any parent would feel more comfortable hiring a pro in childcare that knows how to provide their kids with a safe environment. I mean, no offense to all the 17-year-old nieces out there who are just looking for a summer job – I’m sure you’re a great babysitter! Just don’t be surprised if a professional nanny with a degree gets that gig over you!10. Harry Potter So you might not be able to study at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but Central Michigan University has a great wizarding program too! Ok, you won’t study magic or anything, but you will learn everything you need to know about Harry Potter and the rest of the wizarding world. This is a very immersive course, as you’ll even get a chance to travel to the UK and follow Harry’s footsteps! The course is called “To Hogwarts: An intensive study of Harry Potter through the British Isles” just in case you’re interested!11. The Art of Language Invention Excuse me, do you speak Dothraki? What about High Valyrian? How do I even know if I said those right? Well, if you’re interested in how linguist David Peterson came up with the languages spoken in the hit TV show Game of Thrones, then this one’s for you! The full name of the course is The Linguistics of Game of Thrones and the Art of Language Invention, and it was given at Berkley in the summer of 2017 and taught by Peterson himself! Ah, shucks, missed the boat on that one. But, hey, any Lord of the Rings fans out there who always dreamed of speaking Elvish can still take Quenya and Sindarin at the University of Wisconsin! Forgive me if I mispronounced those as well. I slept through my Elvish class…12. Blacksmithing Finishing the Metalsmithing and Blacksmithing program at Southern Illinois University won’t have you winning medieval sword fights or anything. But you would be proficient in the art of working with and creating things using metal! You could then pursue a career in academia, museum work, or you could become an independent artist. Or maybe shoe a horse or two.13. Nautical Archeology Have you ever wished you could be a mermaid and live in an underwater castle like Ariel – and finally master using a digglehopper or the snarfblatt? Um, sorry to burst your bubble, but that’s not possible. I can, however, give you a close second alternative. By studying Nautical Archeology, you’ll be able to don your diving suit and search for lost underwater artifacts of ancient civilizations and explore shipwrecks. So, you’re basically an archeologist, only with flippers!14. Floral Management Hey, somebody has make those beautiful bouquets that brighten every bride’s big day! (Or act as a peace offering for fellas in the doghouse!) Oh, and can’t forget about putting a smile on mom’s face for Mother’s Day! Anyway, a degree in Floral Management will give you a wide variety of career options, including freelance floral designing, garden design and management, media design and styling, as well as wedding and bridal design planning.15. Bakery Science I don’t know about flowers and all, but I love the smell of my local bakery first thing in the morning! Those of you who spend hours in the kitchen baking cookies, cakes, and pastries that get gobbled up within seconds, a course in Bakery Science could turn you into a real pro!16. Adventure Education Yes, adrenaline junkies, there’s a unique course for you too! From white water rafting, rock climbing, wilderness exploration, and tons of other adventurous activities, Plymouth State University has you covered. I don’t imagine couch potatoes will be very interested in this field, but I’ve got a little something for you too…17. Popular Culture Reality TV, celebrities, music, magazines – these are all elements of pop culture, and Bowling Green State University has a whole department dedicated to it. But it’s not just about sitting in class and reading about the latest celebrity scandals. No no. The program delves into the influence pop culture has on society. And with a major or minor in this unique field, you can then go into journalism, advertising, and mass media to name a few!18. Wildlife And finally, if you’ve always felt a particular connection to Ace Ventura, you might consider taking this Wildlife course at Humboldt State University. It’s basically the science of studying and working with animals, and you can then find an exciting career in a variety of fields. From becoming a game warden to a zookeeper, the possibilities for you animal lovers are endless! So Bosco, now it’s your turn. Which of these courses would you want to study?

Everyone Uses Escalators Wrong All the Time
That’s How Internet Advertisers Read Your Mind
Isn't it annoying how targeted ads haunt you wherever you go and whatever you do? As for me, I usually filter them in my mind, not paying attention to what they say, but some time ago they really started giving me the creeps. So I decided to investigate the issue and I actually found some disturbing stuff. I hope the results of my inquiry will help you too. You see, like everyone else, I'm used to getting targeted ads in my browser after each and every search session. That's not really surprising: after all, I'm spilling all the beans myself if I need a new ironing board, for instance, the first thing I do is go search where I can find one. Ads go crazy after that, suggesting companies I've never heard of and offering best deals ever. And that's okay, that's how they work. But not so long ago, I accidentally left an empty pan on the hot stove and went to work. It was a miracle that my apartment didn't burn up, but the pan was beyond saving, of course. I told my girlfriend about this accident when she came over that night, and made a mental note to buy a new pan. The next morning, when I opened the browser on my phone, the first thing I saw was an ad of some kitchen utensil store brandishing a thumbnail¦ with a pan in it. To say I was dumbfounded would be a huge understatement. I hadn't searched the web for a new pan yet; I didn't mention anything about my mishap on Facebook or Twitter or any other social media; heck, I didn't even call anyone! All I did was tell my girlfriend, and that was it. How in the world could my phone know I needed a new pan?! I admit, at first I thought it was just a crazy coincidence. But then I started noticing this happening more often. I would talk about a coming business trip with my friends, and then my browser would pop travel agency and airline ads on my phone screen. That was downright creepy. Something had to be done, so I started my investigation. First things first: I learned that advertisers follow you everywhere. Literally. For example, if you pass by, say, a bank, you'll most likely soon get a targeted ad of this same bank and probably even with this same address. This happens because companies install special Wi-Fi routers in their offices that have a wider range of operation. When you go about your business, your phone is busy too: it's constantly scanning the networks around it, sending signals to every possible connection point. So you pass by a bank with a special router in it, your phone sends its signal, and voila! The bank has your phone's digital ID! It's not a huge piece of info, nothing personal can be stolen from you, but that's still enough to send you targeted ads. The good thing here is that only larger companies can afford such a method of targeting the cost of equipment along with the price tag on the ad itself is too high for smaller businesses. But still, it's unsettling to know that your own phone gives away your location to anyone who asks. Traitor. On a broader scale, advertisers may use geo tags to target you. These tags are basically points on the map, and when you happen to be within a certain distance from one of these points, you start getting specific ads. And it's even easier to get to you personally if you use public Wi-Fi networks. When you connect to Wi-Fi on the public transport, you voluntarily give away information about yourself and where you're heading, so ads on your phone will adjust themselves and give you places along your route. Another thing you should be wary of is the so-called "matching". Like everyone else, I'm using different apps on my phone, and I admit, I never really read the end user agreement. Who does? But perhaps I should start paying more attention to it. The thing is, apps often collect your offline data and send it to advertisers. The best example I can think of is a fitness tracker. You allow this device or app access to your phone, and it begins doing its job immediately. Things like your heart rate, the distance you covered on this or that day pretty sensitive stuff, if you ask me, all this goes to some third party, and you gave your express permission for that. So, I mentioned matching here's where it comes into play. When an app you've given permissions to sends your info to advertisers, it's matched with the offers they can throw at you and you in particular. Let's say you like to run in a certain park, and there’s a new apartment building somewhere nearby. Most likely you'll start receiving ads urging you to buy an apartment by that exact address. Your tracker has just betrayed you it's sent your GPS data to advertisers, and their system matched your favorite location with an offer from a company in their database. In a way, it's even better than geo tagging because it's more personalized. But if you're like me, it'll just annoy you all the more for that. Okay, I've covered almost everything, and now the big one's coming. Remember my story about the pan and then the business trip? Well, I was shocked to find out that my phone really is listening to me. And yours too! If you have a smartphone and use any social media at all, you're already trapped. You see, social media apps require access to many of your phone's functions, including your microphone. That makes sense: if you want to make stories or videos with sound, you'll need the app to hear you. But by giving this permission, you automatically let it listen to you even when you don't intend to record anything. This is not some speculation, mind you. During my investigation, I've stumbled upon an article by Sam Nichols, a freelance journalist, who was concerned about the same thing I was. And he managed to get to the bottom of it. In short, he learned that social media apps have verbal triggers, or voice commands, that activate them to record you and then send the things you say to advertisers. The simplest parallel here is Google or iOS: they start listening to you when you say OK Google or Hey Siri out loud. With social media, though, no one really knows what their triggers are and how many there are of them out there. To prove this theory, Nichols conducted an experiment and started saying random things to his phone that could potentially be triggers. He did that for 5 days, and then looked closely whether his feed had changed namely, the sponsored posts. I can't imagine how taken aback he was when he saw that all the ads switched to something related to what he had been saying to the phone. I mean, he'd said things like “I need a new T-shirt†or I'm thinking of going back to uni, and literally the next day his feed presented him with clothing store ads and posts about courses at different universities. I don't know about you, but for me this discovery was really disturbing. Now it all made sense, the pan and the airplane tickets. my social media apps simply recorded me saying those things and sold them to some advertiser. I know there are methods to protect myself from such occurrences, but unfortunately there's no foolproof way to fully exclude targeted ads from my life. But on the bright side, this collection of data is more or less innocent (well, unless you focus your attention on apps secretly spying on your conversations). The only third parties receiving your info are advertisers, and there's nothing too personal in there. The things you say are anonymized, which means they can't be traced back to you. Your words become a code that is sent to the servers. So no one really knows it was you who said this or that thing. The system just finds the tracks your phone has left and uses them for its own benefit. I can totally relate to you, though, if you still think its creepy. Okay, in conclusion to my story here, like I said, there are ways to protect yourself if you don't want ads to go barging into your personal space. Most important of them all is a VPN, or virtual private network. It's a perfectly legal means to hide your presence in the web and prevent others from snooping around in your private business online. Getting a VPN is basically like purchasing your own parking spot on the Internet: whatever the trouble, you always have a safe place to return to. Advertisers won't be able to track your actions, so highly targeted ads will be out of the question. Also, if you want to turn ads off completely, there's legal ad blocking software and browser extensions as well. They're no magic bullets, of course, and some information will still get through, but you'll certainly see much less ads than you used to. Well, I hope my investigation has been of some use to you! Do you have any more practical advice on how to get rid of annoying ads? Let me know down in the comments! If you learned something new today, share it with a friend. But “ hey! “ don't go anywhere just yet! We have many cool posts for you check out.
You Stir the Sugar In a Wrong Way All Your Life
Hey, guys! I bet you’re all well-mannered people. But do you always follow the rules of etiquette in the right way? It’s not only members of the Royal family that have to watch themselves in public. Here’s a short list of etiquette rules that you might be breaking every day and not even notice.
1. “Bless You!” It’s a common mistake to wish good health on a person who’s sneezing. If it happens in a family circle or among close friends, it’s okay. But if you’re, let’s say, on a business meeting trying to buy another prospective company, and somebody suddenly sneezes, it’s better not to say “Bless you!”, but to pretend as if you noticed nothing. In some special cases, it can be appropriate to offer a tissue, but that’d be it.
2. Proper hand to use. Once again, when somebody sneezes or coughs, he or she usually covers their face with their hand. It’s normally the right one. But that’s actually a mistake. Why? The answer is simple. Your right hand is considered “social” because when we greet a person we stretch out this hand. And when you cover your mouth with it while coughing, it gets covered in germs which later happily move to people who come into contact with you. This means that ignoring this rule helps microbes and bacteria take over the world and rule it. Just joking! Here’s one more thing about hands. Did you know that the etiquette specialists have identified even the proper way to carry your bag? It turns out that you should carry it on your left arm or shoulder, so that your right hand is free for handshakes.
3. Gym Etiquette. Yep! That’s right! There are ways to stay polite even in spaces where everybody works out. You already know you should keep a towel with you to wipe up your sweat. But did you know that it'd also be good etiquette to re-set weight machines at lower settings when you're finished using them? That way, the next person who uses the equipment won't injure themselves trying to lift a weight that's too heavy. And, maybe you’ll also keep them safe from being jealous of the fact that you’re way stronger.
4. When it comes to business etiquette, a common mistake is made when we introduce others. Here's the proper way to make introductions: Say the person's first name or Doctor, if appropriate, and introduce everybody present, starting from the highest rank to the lowest one. Like, “This is Dr. Jones, his associate Dr. Paul and their assistant John.”
5. Table etiquette. Yep, you’re right. Restaurants and fancy dinners are one of the most common situations where you definitely need to practice. So it’s important not only to be able to distinguish the salad fork from the desert one, but also to know how to use them properly. Oh, get ready! It’s a lot to take in. First of all, remember to always enter your seat from the right side and never shake someone's hand while seated. You should be passing food around the table in a counterclockwise direction, or to the right. This allows a sense of order when food is being passed, so that no one has one dish coming from the right and another from the left. There’s an exception though: if someone only a few places away from you on your left asks for something to be passed, go ahead and pass it to the left. I know that everyone knows how to use a fork and knife. But here’s a little reminder: when you’re pausing during your meal, put your fork on the left side of the plate, teeth down, and the knife on the right, with the blade turned to your plate. If you put your silverware on your plate parallel to each other, the waiter will think that you’re done with your meal and take it away, even if the plate is still half full. Don’t put the soup spoon on a tablecloth or napkin. Just leave it in the plate when you’re finished. And here’s an interesting tip for you about broth. If it’s served in a cup with one handle, you can drink it like tea. If the cup has two handles, you’ll need to use a spoon. For spaghetti and pasta, you’ll need both a fork and a spoon at the same time. Gather the spaghetti with the fork in your right hand and separate it from the rest of the dish with the spoon in your left. When it comes to the tea, make sure that when you stir sugar in the cup, you’re not too noisy with the spoon. But here’s another secret for you: move the spoon but back and forth, like a small pendulum, instead of a circular motion. This not only allows the sugar to dissolve better, but also helps you avoid rattling on the sides of the teacup. Phew! And these are only a few guidelines among many, which, to my mind, are necessary to be aware of. Now let’s have some more fun. Do you like traveling? To me, getting away is an essential part of every year. And just like me, a lot of people plan their vacations carefully. But it’s important not only to learn about perfect places to take photos for your Instagram, but also to be aware of some basic rules to avoid embarrassment in public, or worse: jail time!. Here’s a short list of dos and don’ts for you to remember when you’re far from home. Grab popcorn and enjoy! While traveling to South Korea, be aware of their respect towards the elder people. This is a national treat there. When one of your elders offers you a drink, the proper etiquette is to receive it with both hands, and then turn your head away as you take your first sip. By doing so, you not only show your respect to their culture, but also please your Korean friends with your knowledge of their customs. If you’re traveling to Greece, Turkey, Montenegro or Egypt, to name a few, please note that the plumbing may not be designed for flushing toilet paper. So, restrooms will have special trash cans to throw out used TP instead. Failure to heed this bit of toilet etiquette could lead to clogs and even floods. While in, let’s say, Italy, it’s normal to wave your hands back and forth while speaking, but be more careful with gestures in the Middle East. For example, if you suddenly get lost in Egypt and don’t know the language, try to avoid gesturing with your hands too much. Something as innocent as a ”thumbs up” can actually be very offensive there. Now let’s move to Europe! My first tip would be: turn down the volume. This may surprise you, but for the majority of European countries, it’s more common for people to use their library voice. Just try to imagine how a loud voice would boom in the cathedrals, museums, and cozy restaurants of Europe. Greet shopkeepers when you enter a store, and say goodbye when you leave. It’s pretty rude to not acknowledge them. Plus, the greeting gives you a chance to strike up a conversation. Chatting with a shopkeeper could lead to any number of wonderful discoveries, such as the best gelato nearby, and it can just be fun! In some countries, like France, for instance, hugging can be considered more intimate than kissing. Instead, when you greet someone you’re not that close to, be prepared to shake hands or kiss them. Yep, no kidding! To greet someone there, kiss them twice - once on each cheek. Or in some regions, even more. Along with the no-hug rule, you also should never bring your host chrysanthemums. No matter how beautiful these flowers might seem to you, in this country they’re associated with funerals. In Italy, while it’s still generally considered polite to let a woman to go through the door first, that rule goes away when entering a restaurant. Traditionally, by heading in first, the man will take care of talking to the host and getting a table. By the way, treat your server like a professional, and never gesture, snap your fingers, or do anything else that might make them seem beneath you. Actually, that applies to any part of the world. Okay, I’m done for now. Hopefully, adding these pieces of advice to your armory will definitely prevent you from winding up with egg on your face and leave a good impression no matter where you apply them – during a business meeting, traveling abroad or trying to impress your soul mate’s folks. And now it’s high time to ask what point of today’s list was the most surprising for you? Or, maybe you’re a master of etiquette and follow all these rules already? Let me know down in the comments! If you learned something new today, then share it with a friend. But – hey! – don’t go anywhere just yet! We have over many posts for you.

An elevator could fall, but it is highly unlikely. For an elevator to fall, it would not be necessary one, but three cables extremely resistant to break. Each of those cables can carry a 3 and a half-ton weight; so let's say I do not logically I see it happen. But even if I could, the automatic speed sensor would activate security interruptions around The cables to stop it. And even if those security measures are not enough, the elevator shaft itself would be Quite efficient in minimizing risk. An elevator, as it goes down, creates a huge Layer of pressurized air under the cabin. That will stop the fall.

So, really, there's no such thing as An unbreakable block, but a good block is intimidating. enough to discourage most thieves.
8) People do not usually ask for help when they are drowning A lifesaver shared his story on the Internet: rescued a child who was drowning only one foot away from a group of other people.

Another thing that people often forget is that The biggest problem with drowning You know, apart from dying, it's that you're Fighting with the water for each breath.

Top 10 things palm reading says about your personality
It's amazing to think that the ancient practice of palmistry can tell us who you are as a person and what your life will be like. And whether you believe in it or not it's an interesting practice that's persisted for years that some insist is accurate. Personality, relationships, health, career, travel, none of these can escape the eye of a palm reader, as I take you through a look at 10 Things Your Palm Says About You. Keep in mind to read the lines on the hand you write with first because that is your dominant hand. - Amazing! - [Narrator] Number 10. You have great attention to detail. Palm reading is not all about the lines on the palm. You may not be aware that the size and positioning of your fingers has a large role in palmistry, too. The length of your fingers is considered to be relative to the palm and therefore we can tell if they are average, short, or long. If your longest finger is at least as long as your palm then your fingers are considered long. You see, on an average, the longest finger is only about 7/8 the size of the palm. Long fingers show you have incredible attention to detail. This is interesting because it also says you're a bad planner. You're love of detail means you like to analyze details of events, to death, so that you'd understand them inside out. But before taking any action, funnily enough, there are more long fingered women than men in the world. Number nine, you have poor health. You can gain an understanding of your health by looking at both the health and life lines. The health line runs from the Mount of Mercury, below the little finger down to the base of the palm. If you don't have a health line, don't despair. This is great news, because it means you will have a lifetime of good health. Similarly, you have a prominent and clear life line. This indicates a life of vitality, strength, and immunity. If you do have a health line you can learn about what your health issues might be. A health line, rising from the life line is a very bad sign. Any contact between the health and life lines indicate fragility of health. If the health line crosses the life line this shows the presence of genetic diseases. A health line which stops when it reaches your heart line shows a likelihood for heart problems. If your health line is chained, you will be plagued by a series of health issues related to the bladder, liver, or stomach. Scary stuff! Number eight, you are self centered and ruthless. The heart line tells us about the operation and condition of the heart. It doesn't have a typical starting or ending position as this greatly varies for the individual. A clear and unbroken heart line which forks at the end is a sign that you are a good person, warm hearted, and with a life full of love. There's no chance of faking it here though. Because we can tell if you are self centered and ruthless at your core. You see, a short or entirely absent heart line shows us these negative qualities. You are likely to have a rocky road to love and often end up alone because of your attitude to others. A line that curves downward also shows a life of difficult relationships and that you have a character that can be difficult to like. Number seven, you care about your family deeply. The line around the base of your thumb is called the family and loyalty ring. The deeper and clearer the line, the stronger is your connection to family and the importance they have in your life. If you have two family rings you must have two families, whether by adoption or by second marriage. Any breaks in the ring show periods of family trouble. A longer index finger than the ringer finger also indicates strong ties to family. This is believed to represent the amount of energy your parents put into raising you. If you have a longer forefinger, chances are you will make a great parent as well. The Venus Mount is the padding at the ball of the thumb and is named for the goddess of love. A good amount of padding, which is soft to the touch but not puffy is another sign that you have time and interest for your family. Because it shows you have enough energy to be shared around. Number six, you will have setbacks in life. The lifeline generally curves from just above the thumb to either the Mount of Venus or the Mount of Luna, which sits below the little finger. If your life line is chained, you will be plagued by misfortune. Chains over sections of the line indicate you're experiencing shocks in those periods. Chains can also indicate you suffering heartbreak and illness. You're prone to letting stress interfere and your life is sorely affected. You are similarly positioned if your lifeline is laddered with crossbars. The Sun Line can also tell of setbacks. The sun line is Line of Apollo and can be considered the success line. The line, ideally, runs from the Mount of Moon to under the ring finger. However, if the line only runs to the center of the palm your success has gone downhill as you near middle age. A broken sun line is a sign of career frustrations and setbacks. A wavy line indicates it is your lack of confidence which is interfering with your career and causing you problems. Number five, you are impatient and the life of the party. The shape of your hands can say a lot about who you are. If you have spatulate hands, you're a fun and overly social person with a zest for life. You'll know you have spatulate hands if they resemble the cooking utensil of the similar name. They're very wide at their base, appear flattened, and sturdy, with elongated fingers. You'll also have a small thumb. Having spatulate hands means you'll have a keen interest in learning about anything new and an excitable energy about you. For this reason, they're also referred to as active hands because you never stop. On the down side, you can be impatient and often suffer from feeling unsettled. As a fearless and curious person you're best suited to a career as an explorer, astronaut, or engineer. Number four, you are imaginative and unique. Having a longer ring finger than index finger is a sign of innate creativity. Your creativity is even stronger if your ring finger is wider. The ring finger is governed by Apollo, signifying a love of beauty and artistic flair. But you're also result oriented. So it's important to complete what you start in order to have satisfaction. Associated with creativity is mental attitude which is represented by the head line. If the head line stoops toward the Mount of Moon this shows you have significant power of the imagination. So long as the drooping head line is not afflicted by features such as crosses or islands, the imagination is a positive force for you. You may even have an affinity for writing. It's important for you to surround yourself with people who appreciate your creativity. It will benefit your happiness and help others view the world through your eyes. Number three, you will have great career prosperity. The fate line or destiny line reflects how you will be influenced by the world around you. A good fate line begins at the base of the palm and works upwards in a straight line to the Mount of Saturn at the base of the middle finger.
If you don't have a fate line this can mean your working life will be eventful or even one of poverty. But if you have a deep fate line that is unbroken you will earn a good income and enjoy success in your career. If you are lucky enough to have a fate line which branches off in an upper direction this means you will enjoy great success, resulting in an increased income. The fate line can even tell when you may get a promotion. For example, if it branches from the point where it intersects with the head line, you will be 35 years of age when promoted. Something to look forward to, perhaps. Number two, you will live abroad. Contrary to popular belief, the life line doesn't just indicate how long you are going to live. Rather, it tells us what your life will be like and the quality of it. A fork in the life line where the branch over the Mount of Luna is stronger in appearance, shows that you will retire in a far land, from your home. If the line forks off and ends at the Luna Mount and the Neptune Mount next to it, you feel a deep desire to travel the world. The Mount of Luna, also called the Mount of Moon can be a stronger sign of your destiny to travel. If there is a line from the mount, diagonally up to the Mount of Jupiter, you will have a successful journey and go on to have a well renowned career in the place you travel to. Number one, you are connected to the spiritual plane. You might have what it takes to be a talented palm reader. Having a deep clear and curved line of intuition means you have a strong connection to the spiritual plane. This line was common in prophets and is also believed to present in psychic mediums. In general, this line begins near the end of the heart line, at the outer palm and forms either a diagonal or curved line downward. At a basic level it means you easily read others and situations. However, at the upper end of the scale it indicates a connection to the celestial or occult. The downside of having strong intuition is that it can leave you quite vulnerable to experiencing the emotions of others. It's common to not have this line at all. So those who do are quite special. Does your palm reveal anything surprising about you? Let me know in the comments. Also, if you enjoyed this post please subscribe to this website. We'll be making more posts like this, in the future.

101 facts about fortnite
today we're gonna be dropping something quite familiar to anyone who survived the year 2018 mind you those that didn't I'm seeing this post I hope anyway fortnight may well be the biggest video game phenomenon with the 21st century beating off other battle royale games in a battle royale of battle Royales well for now anyway but just how successful has this game become who oh who has sued epic games and also is this terrible timing considering that last week apex legends just came out it may well be become bigger than fortnight and that's actually planning our videos way far ahead asunder sense of service this time yeah maybe anyway too much of who the Russians gonna be answered because I just answered the third one this time so hop on the battle bus do a stupid dance and prepare yourself for 101 facts about fortnight's yeah let's dab on them number one fortnight is a video game number two all this more okay edits you build forts and shoot people shoot there are different modes which you can download separately but always popular of these is fortnight battle royale where 100 people drop into a massive map and must fight to be the sole survivor number two fortnight was developed by Epic Games and is currently headed up by creative director Donald mustard which is an incredible name that sounds like it's from cluedo if you're into video games and don't know epic how is that possible they made Gears of War the Unreal Tournament games and the Unreal Engine number three port 9 was actually first announced back in 2011 a whole seven years before it would take off with this battle royale mode the context 2011 was the Year portal to Dark Souls and Skyrim some important arts plant-based botany from born men number four the battle royale mode we know today wasn't originally the be-all and end-all of the series as the game was originally meant to only be zombie cop survival which they marketed as minecraft meets left 4 dead 2 it someone probably thought silly epic minecraft already has zombies that a day will never work but this fake person I just made up feels really stupid now number 5 so why is it called fortnight I know we tackle the big questions here on 101 fact well for the zombie survival mode your character has to build a fort and survive in it for two weeks ie a fortnight very clever less clever now that aspect of the game is no longer the focus but what can you do it's just a bit unfortunate thought you know yeah you got back number six fortnight what revealed to the world that Spike TV game Awards in 2011 where Cliff Bleszinski described it as a game that's more about survival than anything else despite the many many changes the game went through this phrase still holds up number seven the game was supposed to have a creepier Tim Burton II look to it when zombie survival was more of a focus instead they lightened up its aesthetic to make it look more like Looney Tunes and the Pixar movies since they wanted players to enjoy playing in that world for an extended amount of time and not be exhausted by it number eight this co-op survival version of fortnight made dormant for years with even a small announcement in 2015 link people know it be available on Mac if it ever came out this all changed when fortnight saved the world it's sort of cooperative campaign was revealed and launched as paid early access back in July of 2017 number nine there are plans to make save the world free-to-play in 2018 much like its battle royale counterpart but that has been delayed till 2019 with no specific release dates if you don't fancy being a cheapskate and waiting around its $39.99 whatever that means number 10 fortnight was the first game to use the Unreal 4 game engine which is a major reason for its long and troubled development cycle this is kind of a big deal since there are dozens of games would utilize it such as the new Spyro remake crackdown 3 Psychonauts 2 and player unknowns battleground hmm interesting more on this pop G character in a minute number 11 fortnight is not only playable on game consoles and PC but Mobile's as well Wow so you can play it anywhere like this guy and this guy and this guy if it wasn't for the technological advancements made by the Unreal 4 engine this would not have been possible number there are a bunch of differences between the mobile versions and the full console and PC editions Samantha controls a little bit more streamlined when using only a touchscreen doors open automatically there's additional visual cues to pop up on screen to mitigate the inferior sound design Anderson I meant playing comparison to other versions and it has a massive graphical downgrade but hey and this is portable baby number 13 Epic Games and fortnight of 40 percent owned by the world's biggest games company Chinese conglomerate $0.10 who acquired epic stock way back in 2013 it's si car it seems like bought Lite wants to drop in every part of the I guess well domination is its own victory royale really number fourteen ten cent have been trying to bring fortnight to a Chinese audience for the past few years but the approval of new video games into China was frozen by the Chinese government back in
August of 2018 while no one knows the real reason some speculate it's due to the ccp's crackdown on video game addiction in children regardless this move has cost hem sent millions fortnight is big but not as big as it could be it permitted access to the biggest market in the world number fifteen ten cents bian wasn't all good news for epic as many big name stuff the company back in 2012 when the toys for $0.10 first began these include former Epic Games president Mike Capps veteran developer at Epic Games Cliff Bleszinski and director of Rod Fergusson who went to work embark infinite as well as the new gears of war games after Microsoft purchased the IP number 16 Liz insky who went on to formed boskie Games has since accused Epic Games of poaching their talent to work on fortnight one of those former employees William McCarroll denounced these claims by calling them presumptuous and hurtful since he wants to be considered a human being and not some corporate asset Sydney Cliff Bleszinski more like twist clothes boss key because their game wasn't selling ski that's actually true what number 17 the battle royale mode for fortnight was conceived after epic developers fell in love with player unknowns battlegrounds ie pub G which had been released in March 2017 hoping to capitalize on the Battle Royale trend epic release fortnight Battle Royale six months later number 18 the battle royale style of the game is directly inspired by the 2000 Japanese movie classic battle royale where 42 school children are sent to an island where the only way out is to fight each other to death with only one left standing sure it's chock-full of child murder but it's really entertaining child murder and book night is also full of killing kids if you think about it okay so that guy cheated number 19 despite both fortnight's and pub G having 100 players dropped into a map where only one player or team can be the winner for tonight's set itself apart with its building mechanic as well as his colorful aesthetic and polished gameplay it was also released with a free-to-play model over pub G's traditional paid model and so the battle royale between battle reals battle royale ie began number 20 unsurprisingly epics opportunistic take on their competitors unique selling points spurred the Korean trade as a pub G pub cheek or into suing Epic Games Korea in January 2018 this lawsuit has since been dropped but neither side has confirmed why or if it's ultimate was agreed to spooky number 21 one reason the pub G fought by copyright law of war ended could be because $0.10 owned a minority percentage of not just Epic Games but pub G 2 as recently as August when t 18 you know what I always say if you can't beat them join a Chinese corporate conglomerate aiming to win a monopoly of Chinese video game market as the overwhelming power of globalism it will inevitably swallow someone laugh you you know what I always say if you can't beat them join a Chinese corporate conglomerate aiming to own a monopoly in Chinese video game market as the overwhelming power of globalism but never to please all of us all I do why say that to be fair number 22 oh probably re on a gun off number 20 day oh yeah you've heard it one of the reasons fortnight is gained so much attention is its accessibility for night is available for example and ps4 Xbox one switch PC Mac iOS and Android it's actually harder to avoid than it is to play number 23 another feature increasing its accessibility is being able to play with anyone no matter what system they're playing on porn I just featured cross play between console pc and mobile players since March 2018 number 24 the switch version came out hours after it was announced at e3 2018 but not without a bit of drama ps4 users were being locked out of using their account on switch edition of the game due to Sony's policies which also restricted cross play between ps4 and twitch entirely this did however get resolved dr. metric fluff ton of backlash so we can all get completely destroyed by PC players together in harmony number 25 as fortnight blew up in popularity in the first half of 2018 the game is since garnered 8.3 million concurrent players subscriber gold am i right mother factors I should get one one facts - what about million subs hashtag YouTube life hashtag get tilted number 26 they also have over 200 million players overall which is about the same population size of Pakistan for some more context there while the Warcraft has 100 million registered accounts and minecraft has 91 million monthly players trends rise and fall in popularity but right now it's fortnight's turn up top until apex legends that is number 27 despite being free-to-play fortnight might well be the most lucrative video game in history they made more than 1 billion dollars from in-game purchases alone which is well it's more money than I can realistically conceive especially since it only gained popularity about a year ago god I could buy a lot of chicken nitrogen Haribo with us number 28 a big reason for the game's profit abilities due to the battle pass if you don't know how butter pus works while buying it gives you access to exclusive challenges and unlocks which rewards you for your play they change with every season so not only is there new reasons to keep playing it also bans a frantic fear of missing out when it comes to making the most of your bathroom post purchase number 29 Myrtle Pass was designed to be the antithesis of other free to play models epic games producer Roger column reference to time play tactics of mobile games and pay to win loot boxes as a blueprint for what not to do turning specifically to how League of Legends monetizes its content without damaging the free experience of the game take the hint EA oh you did oh well I stand corrected number 30 if you really really want an unfathomable statistic to represent how popular fortnight is look no further than twitch a sport night has been watched for over 5,000 years worth of time on the platform in just two weeks that's just short of 2.2 million hours and that stat doesn't even include YouTube which is insane number 31 this amount of time is so significant that media giant such as Netflix consider for tonight to be its biggest competitor since they're competing for people's spare time too rather than other TV services which aren't doing nearly as much bangers Netflix are but which do you prefer in this imaginary competition that's now apparently happening bot night or Netflix let me know in this fancy YouTube power number 32 fortnight is not just killing the competition but its own company's property too as its overnight success resulted in many teams being moved to develop solely for the game this inevitably shut down production on the title Paragon completely more like powered gone that pun doesn't work and just saying the same word twice let's move on number 30 spray well for tonight caused the loss of Paragon the game will live on in another form epic decided to release all the assets from Paragon on to the unreal marketplace completely for free that's 12 million dollars of digital assets usable by anyone in their own projects with no strings attached sounds pretty epic to me number 34 are you sick of us talking about fortnight's massive success well tough you're on the wrong video we've got one more fact about it to fortnight's has won a bunch of awards including game of the year 2018 at the golden joysticks the game award for best multiplayer game and most prestigious of all the Teen Choice Award for videogame fortnight just oozes highbrow prestige and everyone knows it number 35 fortnight in pub Jean might still dominate the battle realm landscape but there are plenty of other games chopping into competition these include realm royale me neither call of duty black ops 4 blackout mode and the latest Challenger apex legends apex seems to be the biggest threat is it gained 10 million players and 1 million concurrent players on its first day will this fresh meat to be able to keep up the momentum though only time will tell number 36 with the riser fortnight also came Tyler ninja Blevins who was the first streamer to reach 10 million followers and is thought to earn more than five hundred thousand dollars a month I mean what are we doing here guys we don't know more than that let's all go play fortnight no that's not number Blevins was a professional gamer before fortnight's he starts a professional gaming on Halo 3 back in 2009 became a streamer in 2011 and played h1z1 in pub G before making the traitorous - they commenced a fortnight before before number 38 ninjas ascension - which royalty hasn't been without controversy though in one case he said he wouldn't play with girls on his stream because it might spark rumors of him being romantically involved with women other than his wife this was met with significant backlash since cutting off the opportunity to work with the biggest personality on a huge media platform for half the population might just be seeing this problematic no one could've seen that coming much like a ninja actually hey wait a minute number 39 lebens caused more bother when he falsely accused another user of screen sniping him a form of cheating where someone watches someone stream to work out their location he went to great lengths trying to get this YouTube and calling him out to his large audience and getting on to his direct content at Epic Games because he couldn't handle the fact that someone was watching a stream that's available to the public he sounds fun to play with number 40 ninja is a generous fellow when it comes to dealing out some tips and tricks though if you want moves like Tyler like the maroon 5 song he advises would-be pros to learn the map state coast of the storms actually won't be flam from behind and always usual shields if you have any I mean that last one it's pretty obvious isn't it your services to never stay still always be getting resources or looting gym downtime and of course practice you're building oh I forgot to mention yet you can build lots in this game he also says the young players to finish their homework before treating themselves to fortnight's maybe he's not the worst role model number 41 while some companies don't know what to do with retina gaming epic games have decided to throw a buttload of money at it which tends to work for most thinks they will provide 100 million dollars to fund the prize pools in fortnight competitions that on the face of it sounds absolutely ridiculous but considering that the eSports industry will cross the 1 billion dollar mark in value in 2019 100 milli is a great investment considering the potential growth the meaning all for life despite the crazy money dump epics first competitive competition was a bit of a disaster latency issues help to eliminate top players early on only 4 of the promised 10 matches were broadcast and the gameplay itself turned out to be a boring camp fest as everyone playing hope to wait up the competition to increase their chances of winning the $250,000 prize money looks like stopping the competition early made for a short nights number 43 every online game has its own brand of terrible cheaters and fortnight is no different epoch is taking the battles to them by suing two players but the names of mr. Brue mr. frost spear for up to $150,000 in damages are not too caught up with the mr. men law but those who don't sound canon to me number 44 epic is also sought to solve this by acquiring anti-cheat company car mu responsible for the software easy anti cheat their software has been used in a variety of online games including rust smite Dragonball Fighters II paladins and was already being used in fortnight itself number 45 in what feels like the billionth lawsuit involving this game epic game sued a QA contractor over a leak which revealed the result of a season 4 game event if he accused thomas hanna revealed where the meteor would hit to a friend in his DMS which he believed would remain confidential it did not much like many things in the ends so Hanna now not only has a huge company breathing down his neck but he probably lost a friend too and hey that's the more hurtful thing here number 46 founder of Epic Games and creator of fortnight Tim Sweeney likes to buy land a ton of land actually the conservationists own 7,000 acres of wilderness in North Carolina spending fifteen million dollars to protect the land from being bought by power company and being built on which is well it's kind of ironic really considering fortnight is about building things number 47 you know something has reached the main string when pop icons get involved in fortnight is no exception professional mumbler Drake's a modern-day Mozart behind hotline bling join ninja for a charity stream I feel bad for insulting their H because he did donate $5,000 so sorry Drizzy number 48 ninja asked rake during the stream if he would put any fortnight references into the lyrics of one of his songs Drake said that he would but only if Epic Games put in the hotline bling' dance as an amount unfortunately that request was from quite a while ago back in March 2018 and it's been no news since so stale if drank without a song would I floss in your grave you know where it came from number 49 if you want to know what the fortnight font is it's Burbank and was designed by Tali Ming bit of graphic design knowledge for you there number 50 she can you believe it this excellent drawing of a chicken character by an eight-year-old made it into for tonight as an actual character with no foul play involved free chicken comes down for price of one after the touring is posted to Reddit Internet strangers on the site helped him develop and improve the idea before getting it submitted to epic the developers floated the idea and made the little boy's vision a reality number 51 parent will do many ridiculous things to make their kids happy and one of them is apparently hiring professional Fortnight coaches to school their kids on how to nab those victory Royale for themselves here's a tip just get good well some parents claim it's to prevent their child from being bullied at school others hope for their children to go professional and earn the kind of money eSports due to its competitors they can pay up to $30 an hour for a coach $30 an hour I could save up for a signed autograph from Jennifer Lawrence for that kind of money but probably be just as useful number 52 in what may be the most mean field crossover of all time Marvel Studios those absolute blaze of my life teamed up with epic twit fan awesome fortnight for a limited time there was a game-mode which let players pick up the Infinity Gauntlet and become planners who had devastating powers and an intimidating amount of health he can also dance you could make furnace dance number 53 their loss isn't the only game mode to come and go is these limited time events come in many shapes and sizes these include the 50 V 50 mode pretty self-explanatory their steady storm where the storm doesn't stop closing in one shot where players have low health low gravity and sniper weapons and bare bones which limits the GUI or GUI or graphical user interface on screen number 54 would epic make any of their limited time mode permanent or who you ask well well Thanos probably won't return mode such as 50 V 50 do have the demand for it also add to that the fact that playground one of the game modes what's made permanent at the end of last year if it was possible for playground why not others number 55 one of the more unique and weird events to happen in the game was the first ever virtual music concert headed up by EDM artists marshmallow this 10 minutes concert was played in game at pleasant park and coincided with a bunch of bible marshmallow skins and emotes whoever this Marsh fellow is he's got incredible business savvy partnering a four nights good on you marshy lad number 56 one of the most famous skins in the game is named the Reaper with the description vengeance for higher it was a really difficult skin to get as it required getting level 100 in season three's battle paths so anyone seen with it can be assumed to have put in the hours it also directly references Keanu Reeves character John wick the badass gun for hire with infinity for poppers and revenge number 57 the game makes plenty oh wow sorry whoa whoa puberty come back the game makes plenty of references to pop culture in their other skins to the rust Lord Skinner's are not the star-lord and guns the galaxy the Black Knight references Monty Python and shieldmaiden looks a lot like Katheryn Winnick shield maiden in the TV show Vikings number 58 there was a player who managed to grab the name fortnight winner as they use a handle however they went 1,000 games in a row without ever winning which I honestly can empathize with aim for the stars though but number 59 YouTube rewind 2018 which heavily featured fortnight and Will Smith making guttural noises delighted at the sight of the battle bus is the most disliked video on the entire platform it featured ninja a bunch of late night hosts during fortnight dances because you know that's what this platform is about and YouTube is dropping onto an island I mean it's truly awful number 60 fortnight resurrected an age-old argument of how video games might negatively affect children are Garber heard it all before many see their children neglecting a school work and barely leaving the house to play fortnight as a gaming disorder which is a proposed condition by the World Health Organization's in September 2018 despite this vital research still needs to be done into the phenomenon and it's only known to affect a small amount of people professor
Andy sure Bilski from the Oxford University says that there's nothing from a psychologists perspective to be worried about when it comes to fortnight and that it's popular because it's free and accessible not because it's violent which it really isn't number 61 there are some concerning cases when it comes to the fortnight child addiction arguments one case involved a nine-year-old girl who ended up wetting herself after playing fortnight for 10 hours and punched her dad in the face when he tried to confiscate the game thankfully she's now seeking treatment at a clinic for her problems but it's not every day you hear about a nine-year-old needing therapy I've playing too many video games number 62 the supply llama has become an iconic part of the game but there was some controversy around the V buck llamas in the save the world shop as they resembled loot boxes from other games the entire country of Belgium rule that loot boxes are a form of gambling as you and any kid who are buying them do not know what the items are in sight this is bird fortnight to make the llamas show what's inside them so epic have dodged some sort of child gambling calamity number 63 another problem fortnight has had was in the next book to do with aim assist if you increased fortnight's FPS to 240 it increases the effectiveness of aim assist so much that your crosshairs will magnetically lock on to the head of your desired target with aimbot precision - shame they've patched up really because it's really the kind of cheating I need Nintendo 64 fortnight monopoly exists because Hasbro will not stop until they've made a monopoly of literally everything in existence which actually sounds appropriate considering the name we've got one coming soon while I won monopoly long not really but it comes with fortnight pieces and unique battle royale rules the Fort Knox Edition that is so dropping your monopoly money on property works a little bit differently this time round number 65 while some teachers worry about students playing the game in class others reacted in a different way a group of students but their chemistry teacher than if they could get 6700 retweets on their tweeter challenge the teacher would have to make their final test about fortnight's they got over 30,000 retweets and the teacher made good on his word turns out those sport night coaches from before seemed less stupid now but also those kids education is gonna suffer as a result number 66 you can dance if you want to in fortnight you can leave your friends behind because your friends don't dance and if they don't dance then they're no friends of mine anyway I've got distracted there but the game features plenty of unlockable dance taunts many of which are based on real dancers from pop culture the default dance is the one Turk does in scrubs damn kids don't know scrubs number 67 just hey everything it's all awful other notable real-life dancers and moves put into the game as emotes include the salt bay meme the best mates dance from marlin web Gangnam style and take the El is a salt mix between sports fans and Pennywise his dance from 2017 it number 68 the story of orange justice it's not a story the Jedi would tell you a young boy in an orange tea submitted a dance to epic games as part of their boogie down contest he lost scumming in 23rd but people on the internet campaigns that the kid starts to be put in any way just this for the orange shirt kid was eventually served as the dance called orange justice was put in the game and balance was restored to the universe number 69 drop me like the bangbus unfortunately the mother of orange justice kid has recently decided to sue Epic Games for their use of the dancers and emote which is strange since the dance was clearly submitted for a fortnight competition the competition rules did explicitly say though that epic would retain the rights to the dance and the winner wouldn't be paid money for the dance it remains to be seen if justice will be served either way as the case continues number 70 Epic's trouble was far from over though is they would receive numerous more lawsuits concerning the dance emotes in the game these would come from Milly Rock the flossing backpack kid Anton fondue Ruby Arrow who famously played Carlton banks in The Fresh Prince of bel-air number 71 the reason why fortnight's feels comfortable using these dances is because they are such a difficult thing to copyright you have to determine whether the dance is owned by the dancer or the choreographers or whether it's a social dance which everyone can perform or if it's long enough to be a choreographed routine rather than the potential building block to another dance no one wants the site for the creativity of dance as a whole certainly not me since new dances are often amalgamations and involved versions of all the ones in short and thank you for listening to my TED talk there's a reason why fortnight she was legally comfortable with their seconds long emotes number 272 the developers of fortnight paid homage to their multiplayer shooter history by putting in a poster in the game depicting the Unreal Tournament map facing world's there it is look there number 73 another poster depicting epics history can be found displaying the character jazz jackrabbit released back in the 90s when wacky cartoon videogame characters were all the rage number 74 there's an incredibly rare chance that when erecting a stone wall don't laugh come on you'll produce an own bearing wall as in your wall will have a gnome in it it does absolutely nothing but hey looks nice a number 75 a statue made out of cars and a truck can be found which some have said is a reference to Optimus Prime at transformers Fame but that's wrong it's clearly truckasaurus from The Simpsons kids these days number 76 every game begins on what's known as spawn island as players connect and wait for the round to begin you can actually see it from the main map but it's not designed to be reachable since it's surrounded by invisible walls this obstacle was proved you become back in June 2018 with a shopping cart glitch but this exploit was swiftly patched away for now the promised land remains just out of reach at least after you get on the battle bus number 77 australian youtuber marcel trying to rescue a player stuck at the bottom of a cliff without any materials to build up but hilariously murders him by accident with a golf cart we've all been there epic games wanting to pay tribute to this tragic failure of her mission have placed a tombstone in the game at the same place the manslaughter occurred number 78 a kill streak by Elemental underscore ray a player with a 0.47 kill ratio ie not that great but probably better than me has the highest solo kill streak in the entire game standing at a ridiculous 48 kills how is that possible well during the month in a light tone rocket launch event many planes in the game built a large ramp to a platform where they could watch the light show unfold before them and a mental ray saw the opportunity here and destroyed the ramp from underneath causing them to plummet to their deaths number 79 the marks are the in-game currency with which you can buy all the cosmetic items and luxuries dancers skins you know anything that makes you look super cool and fly the V stands for vendor tech which is a fictional technology company found in the save the world mode intern vendor tech is named after the mysterious doctor vendor Minh turns out there's a super deep lore and it doesn't stand for bergeon bucks like the YouTube comments tell me number 80 it's not only the kids who were getting in on the port knight craze as weirdly criminals are using v bucks to launder money criminals do this by purchasing v bucks with stolen credit cards and reselling them for a discount on the dark web Epic Games is trying to combat these issues but experts say they've not done enough and crime thrives on the platform number 81 the vault or whenever something is bolted refers to an epic removes items and features from the game for various reasons usually because of gameplay balance while a volatile item may have been removed from play they may return at a later stage once it's been tweaked to work with current gameplay some of these include the zapper Tron the crossbow and the jetpack number 82 they used to be two different types of jump hat a directional one which sauntered player in a direction and a vertical jump and which catapults the player vertically these got condensed into the belts pad which gives the player the height with control over sideways traversal the bounce pad though eventually got bolted but there's still the launch pad which is the closest method of traversal number 83 fortnight in shoot a new weapon into the fray called the Infinity Blade on December the 10th 2018 and then took it out of the game four days later despite only dropping once per game the sword was deemed too powerful but there is still a chance it could make more of a nerved appearance in the future number 84 fortnight's now goes through seasons where various changes happen to the ever-evolving map and comes with fresh challenges and skins available until next season rolls around number 85 with these seasons also come live events and vague story developments involving meets yours interdimensional cubes and zombie creatures invading and destroying parts of the island I'm not quite sure what the stories actually about but I guess it's cool that it interacts with players in real time I mean a plot would be nice but number 86 not all seasons are created equal though as the first season only came out with the disappointing 5 obtainable rewards overall 5 this was when challenges were first introduced oh so the game was still finding its feet number 87 season 2 step things up in December 2017 as they introduced the battle password tears going up to 70 this was also when the flosser boat came in and rewarded top tier earners with the Black Knight armor number 88 season 3 was when the game started to get really popular so it's a good thing the season had some great offerings beyond its superb space theme I mean Wow as well as hints of an incoming meteor strike this more it introduced snobby shores haunted hills and tilted towers to the map as well as throwing the game at a bombshell that was explosives into the fortnight Arsenal number 89 tilted towers is one of the busiest and most contested areas in fortnight due to the density of the loot film there and its vertical environment because it's volatile nature with such a shake up for the game its introduction brought controversy and hope that the incoming meteor which appeared during season 3 would obliterate it this meets your eventually destroyed dusty Depot for season 4 but tilted towers did lose a three-story building number 90 wild season 4 brought meteoric destruction a hub rocks which planted low gravity jumping it also had a super boom it introduced new locations such as the villain there and risky reels as well as the first vigor in the game the shopping cart I can finally fulfill my dream of playing Dale Winton supermarket sweep in a videogame this one's for you Dale number 91 season 4 also featured the fortnight blockbuster contest which asked players to make their own superhero movie using the replay system the grand prize of $25,000 went to chant the need for his film prepare for collision number 92 when the meteors approach was in-game that destruction caused didn't happen in real time this all changed with the rocket launch which would be fortnight's first live event again teasing the end of tilted the rocket fell back to earth and nearly crashed straight into it only for it to disappear in amount of interdimensional rift in space and time all us players watch the events unfold with their very own eyes 93 the risks caused by the rocket would stick around and grow until the end of season 4 for season five though players could use these newly spawned riffs to teleport around the map they also introduced a desert biome Paradise Palms circling storm movement and toys which allow players to get up there basketballs beach balls golf balls and tomatoes and play tomatoes there interactable - much like the football or soccer balls dotted around the map number 94 one of these events interacted with real-life cracks in time and space formed throughout the map relocating disappearing iconic objects and landmarks the der burger mascot disappeared from atop the fast food restaurant and a replica of it was found in the desert in real life this was confirmed to be a PR stunt by Epic Games themselves but does that mean real life is for tonight number 95 never buy the cube from season five was mysterious and layered but the marked in the fortnight subreddit prevented the word keep from being used but I mean I have no idea why but anyway this resulted in the cubing named Kevin because well Kevin's alright as a name I guess number 96 season six has all these mysterious floating islands but all I really care about is the pets this season brought in little dog oohs dragons and chameleons as animated back bling they're purely hashtag aesthetics of course as fortnight tries to keep up its reputation for not being paid to win but they are cute I can finally be the Khaleesi I've always dreamed of being number 97 season 7 is the latest one and it centers around an icy cold glacial theme to coincide with the winter period snowy peaks and frozen lakes come with a new vehicle in the form of a fighter plane called the storm wing x4 this adds a crazy amount of verticality to the whole map because it's a plane after all but everyone will definitely know exactly where you are fair trade-off really number 98 the gap between season 7 and season 8 is the longest in the series but epic have finally announced the start of the new season will roll out on February 27th we haven't got a clue what the theme is but we recommend snooping around the map for hints like these eggs for example could it be Easter could it be fire-breathing dragons that you know are just on your back who knows oh wait hang on a minute Game of Thrones that's all in a couple months maybe it's you know the Battle of the I can't say that what I'm you cheaper yeah keep an eye number 99 fortnight creative is the latest mode to be built where you can build your heart's content it's basically a more Minecraft e fortnight mode with the focus on customizing your own port night games or building something with friends ah it's a neat way to lean on the building aspect of the game rather than the fighting and I can only imagine how many body parts have been built and erected in that mode number 100 storm incoming as if for tonight wasn't already everywhere they may well be releasing a real port night soda based on the in-game item slurp juice when the idea was suggested to Donald mustard a stomach right name on Twitter he replied with this mm emoji that's not exactly much to go on but they did serve the drink at twitchcon in 2018 so maybe they do want to print more money number 101 will there ever be a new map rather than an ever-changing one epic say there could well be but that they aren't focused on that right now citing the constant changes they make to the current one to keep the game fresh this is due to their ever-growing list of whack-a-mole problems such as cheaters and server issues Never Say Never though so that was 101 fact about fortnight what did you think did you enjoy it which skin is your favorite and which emote is your favorite and are we too late on this is a pic two legends already taking over let us know in the comment down below also good as video one like and subscribe to 101 facts if you haven't done so already because it's what all the cool kids are doing it's cooler than a boatload of V bucks guys in the meantime though my god look at these two videos that on screen now they're both the pinnacle of 101 'dom and you're gonna really dig them even moreso than a mole click on one and I'll see you there I'll be waiting bye
