Just before starting the topic,
I want to recommend a game with which you will have a lot of fun.
His name is Raid: Shadow Legends, and is available for iOS and Android,
and it's totally free, obviously!
I have been testing it in recent days and it has become one of my favorite games for several reasons.
First of all because of its fantastic plot and challenges,
you have to complete several exciting missions fighting against all kinds of creatures.
The 3D graphics are also incredible and you will surely love them.
And that's not to mention that you can collect and modify hundreds of champions
that you will unlock as you complete missions.
The best part is that right now a special tournament created by the RAID people is being held
where you can compete against me and other players from all over the world
to win prizes within the game, and also physical prizes that include collectible figures.
Is not that cool?
To help you in the adventure, I'll give you 50,000 silver coins,

New South China Mall The Largest Abandoned Shopping Center In The World
When a new shopping center is built in a city,
it is usual for large clothing stores and restaurants to be full of new customers
eager to buy what they sell.
But, did you know that the second largest shopping center in the world
was abandoned for 10 years, without a single store and without any customers?
This shopping center was built on the outskirts of the Chinese city of Dongguan in 2005,
and since it was inaugurated, it has become a real shambles.
8 years after its construction, that is, in 2013,
more than 90% of the shopping center was in total abandonment,
with more than 2,000 stores without being used by anyone.
Fortunately for investors, in 2015 there was a re-inauguration
and the activity in the shopping center was increasing little by little.
Now it is not as abandoned as before,
but it is curious to know that at one time this gigantic site looked like a phantom building.

Trollface
There are many ways in the world in which a person can make a living,
but would you believe me if I tell you that you can earn a lot of money drawing memes?
If you do not believe me, I'll introduce you to Carlos Ramirez, the creator of trollface.
Did you know that Carlos has earned more than 100,000 dollars in royalties
for the use of this meme in recent years?
The meme was created by Carlos in 2008,
and from the first day he published it on a website called 4chan it became very popular,
to the point of generating profits that exceed 6 figures.
Surely at this time you are wondering how it is possible that Carlos
has won that amount of money with this meme, right?
It turns out that every time a video game or a big brand makes use of 'trollface',
Carlos receives a part of copyright income.
Obviously for that he had to register his meme in the US patent office.
But that process was totally worth it
because now it continues to generate money with its creation.
If you think about it for a moment,
$100,000 is not bad considering that it only took him 30 minutes to create it.

Aogashima The Volcanic Island Inhabited By People
Did you know that 170 people live inside this volcanic island?
The island of Aogashima is located about 358 kilometers from Tokyo, in the Philippine Sea.
The history of this place tells that in the year 1780,
a strong eruption claimed the lives of more than half of the inhabitants who lived inside.
The few who survived that eruption fled until it was uninhabited.
But only 50 years after the disaster, and after making sure that things had calmed down,
the old settlers who survived came back to stay and live here.
Currently 170 people live permanently inside Aogashima.
They are in charge of attending the school, the post office,
and the restaurants and bars that have been built for tourists.
In case you're wondering, the only ways to get to the island of Aogashima are by helicopter and by boat,
although by boat it is more complicated by the geography of the place
and so smany prefer the helicopter.
The only problem is that the helicopter only leaves once a day and nothing else can take 9 people.
Sometimes you can not even make the trip due to weather conditions.
The point is that, because of its peculiar shape and how difficult it is to get here,
Aogashima has become one of the most curious and surprising inhabited islands on the planet.

ASLSP The Longest Concert In History
Did you know that the longest concert in history began in 2001 and will end in 2640?
In this concert is played just a piece of music that bears the name 'As SLow aS Possible',
or ASLSP for its acronym in English.
The song was composed and written by the musician John Cage in 1987,
and for some strange reason they decided to make an adaptation that will last 639 years.
In case you're wondering, the concert is taking place in the church of San Burcardo,
located in the German city of Halberstadt.
And since it will end in the year 2640,
it is a pity that neither you nor I are present on the day that the last note sounds.
Although the original version of this song was originally created to be played in 20 minutes,
this version that has been adapted to be played in a span of 639 years
will become the longest concert in the history of humanity.
Well, that data is interesting, right?

Sannakji / What is the strangest thing you have ever eaten in your life?
Did you know that in South Korea and Japan it is a real delicacy to eat octopus that are still alive?
The name of this popular dish is Sannakji
and you can find it in different restaurants and markets at an affordable price.
Although eating a live octopus might sound like something exotic,
it's actually much more dangerous than you think.
Remember that the suction force of the tentacles of the octopus
is still present even after you swallow it.
If you do not do it the right way, the risk that the octopus attaches to your throat is quite high.
In that case you could die of asphyxia in a matter of seconds
without anyone being able to do anything to help you.
In the Korean media news appear every so often with cases that ended badly.
It is estimated that about 6 people a year lose their lives for not following the directions well.
Recently the video of this girl trying to eat an octopus became very popular on the Internet.
And it can be useful for you to get an idea of the suction force that these animals have in their tentacles.
Currently, Sannakji is considered one of the most exotic and dangerous dishes in the world.
-I'm hungry! -Where did you get that octopus, Benny?
Number 5
Gomi Pit The Weirdest Restaurant In Japan
Speaking of strange foods and Asian,
did you know that in this restaurant you can see how they trash tons of garbage
while you eat your lunch?
Gomi Pit is a bar-restaurant that is located in the Japanese district of Musashino,
and is different from any restaurant you have seen before
because in this you can see in action a garbage processing plant while you eat.
It sounds crazy, does not it?
The crazy idea of this restaurant came to remind people
where all the garbage that they generate daily is going to stop.
Although you might think that no one would visit a place like this,
the restaurant is almost always full of diners
who want to eat while they see tons of garbage being processed.
The contrast that exists between the restaurant in perfect condition
and the well full of garbage on the other side of the glass,
has been very commenting in media around the world.
It is currently considered one of the strangest and most curious restaurants in Japan.

Bugatti 'La Voiture Noire' The Most Expensive Car In Automotive History
Did you know that this car has a price close to 18 million dollars?
The Bugatti 'La Voiture Noire' is a commemorative car created by the luxury car company Bugatti.
It was presented for the first and only time at the Geneva Motor Show in March 2019,
where it not only attracted attention for its price, but also for its incredible design.
The car is so exclusive that only one has been manufactured
and no one else will ever be manufactured again.
So, even if you have 18 million dollars available,
I'm sorry to tell you that it was already bought by one person.
Do you know by whom? Although the Bugatti company has not given the name of that millionaire,
several media say that the owner of this super sports car
is nothing more and nothing less than the famous soccer player: Cristiano Ronaldo.
Till the date, Ronaldo has not confirmed or denied,
but if this information is true,
he will have in his possession the most expensive car manufactured in history.

Ayam Cemani The Strangest Hens You Will See In Your Life
Did you know that in Indonesia there lives a kind of chicken that is completely black?
With 'completely' I do not speak only of their feathers,
also of their eyes, their skin and even their organs.
The species is named Ayam Cemani,
although on the Internet many people call it 'The Lamborghini of Poultry'.
That exotic color is due to a strange genetic mutation of their ancestors,
which caused all the offspring to adopt that unique color.
In scientific terms, this mutation is known as fibromelanosis,
which causes them to produce 10 times more melanin than they should.
And is that pigment that is responsible for giving it that unique and exotic color.
For being so strange and difficult to raise,
the Ayam Cemani reach prices of up to 2,000 dollars...
How many did you say you wanted?
Number 2
Duel With Swords The Last Duel With Swords Of Which One Has Record
Did you know that the last duel with swords took place in 1967, in France?
You did not hear wrong, I said duel with swords.
Although it sounds hard to believe,
in the last century sword duels were still performed for different reasons,
one of the most common was to restore your honor.
It was not strange to see these duels in countries like Canada and the United States,
but especially on the European continent.
What I found most curious about these duels
is that the last of them that is known is recorded and uploaded here on YouTube.
In that battle the mayor of Marseille faced
the candidate for the presidency of the Socialist Party of France.
But do not be scared! Nobody died that day!
Already in the decade of the 60 it was not necessary to arrive until the death to give a winner.
The first bloodstain was enough to stop the duel and emerge victorious.
Who would say that these duels were still made 50 years ago, right?
It is a good piece of information that gives you an idea about what was done just a few decades ago.
I wonder what life will be like 50 years from now.
Number 1
Asmir Begović The Furthest Goal In History
Did you know that the furthest goal in football history
was scored by a goalkeeper in the English league?
It was during the match Stoke City Vs Southampton.
It was in 2013, on that occasion the goalkeeper Asmir Begović of Stoke City
kicked the ball from his area without imagining what was about to happen.
With a little fortune, his punt ended in the opposite goal.
Marking the furthest goal in the history of football, with 91 meters away.
And also the goal faster than a goalkeeper scored,
because it had only been 13 seconds of the game.
Crazy, right?
As this looks, it is very likely that Begović's record
will never be surpassed by any other goalkeeper in history...
Do you agree?
And that's all for today!
This video was very interesting, right?
Well if you liked it as much as I did,
you should leave a thumbs up at this moment
because that helps me a lot to know if you really enjoyed it.
