How to do the ketchup dance
How to Take the ketchup song challenge! – DIY
DIY traditionally means Do-It-Yourself and refers to the culture of building or creating things that can be bought. At DIY.org, we give DIY a slightly broader definition.
Our mission is to build a safe online community that kids can use independently, without parental supervision - a place where they can “do it themselves”. Within this community, we encourage them to create, share, and interact with each other over shared interests, without the fear of negativity, bullying, or predatory behavior limiting them. To us, DIY means empowerment. Through our free site and app, we hope to empower millions of kids around the world to become creators, builders, and, most importantly, responsible global citizens.
DIY is ideal for kids between the ages of 6 and 13 years. Considering that these are some of the most important formative years of development, we're trying to touch as many childhoods as we possibly can with positive content and hands-on learning.
We aim to encourage skill-building by fostering a healthy competitive spirit and build a community of proactive, self-confident, eager-to-learn, and — above all — kind children. We hope that these kids will go on to become adults that have the same qualities.
You can create your DIY profile on https://diy.org/register. The only details we need are your name, birthday, and email ID. If you have the DIY App, you can use it to create your profile.
In order to interact and share on DIY, kids will need to verify their DIY account. Verification is a way for us to collect parental consent in compliance with COPPA. Once their account is verified, kids can:
To verify your account, you will need to submit a video of you and one of your parents saying the sentence “I’m here to use DIY” using the DIY App.
Here are some guidelines for when you’re creating a video for verification:
Once you’ve uploaded your video successfully, verification takes up to 72 hours. During this time, we check the video to verify parental consent and also to verify the age of the DIYer. This helps us keep DIY safe and free of intruders.

Strict requirements for owners of goldfish, bans on ketchup and other ridiculous laws
It is difficult to surprise experienced travelers with something. They are accustomed to unfamiliar traffic patterns, strange foods, and cultural practices that are confusing at first. However, there are things that always cause bewilderment. We are talking about strange laws, funny and sometimes ridiculous.
1. Japan: You can only dance after midnight with the lights on

In 2015, club owners and DJs in Japan scored a major victory over officials who tried to ban dancing after midnight. After two years of campaigning, lobbying and drafting, the new law allows people to dance after the clock strikes midnight. But that's not all: the lighting level should be at least 10 lux.
2. Switzerland: It is illegal to have only one goldfish
If you are in Switzerland, buy two goldfish.

Switzerland has very elaborate animal cruelty laws. For example, if you want to get goldfish, you will have to buy at least two. Possession of only one is considered inhuman isolation. Guinea pigs and budgerigars are also covered by this legislation. There are even companies in the country that look for a mate for an animal when it is left alone. nine0003
An interesting fact: many people know that budgerigars are also called "lovebirds". There is an opinion that you can only keep them in pairs, otherwise the bird will feel bad. It is not right. People who have two parrots, on the contrary, harm them. When one bird dies, the pet loses its entire “flock”, and this can lead to problems with the nervous system. He can even become depressed: refuse to feed, start plucking feathers, become less active, sleepy. So Swiss officials should read literature about parrots before passing laws. nine0003

3. Malaysia and Singapore: spitting costs money

If you are in Malaysia or Singapore, be careful: if you have something stuck in your throat and you spit on the sidewalk or in a private building on the floor, you can be fined. Persons found guilty in Malaysia can be fined €20. And in Singapore, the fine is more severe - 430 euros and imprisonment for five weeks. Perhaps, many Russian towns would only benefit from the adoption of such legal acts. nine0003
4. South Korea: Children need permission to play video games after midnight
Video games can be addictive. /Photo: beltion-game.com
Once upon a time in South Korea, the "Cinderella Law" was passed, forbidding children from playing video games from midnight to 6 in the morning. This was due to the government's concern for the health of the younger generation. However, children are cunning creatures, and many simply began to enter games through their parents' accounts.
Moms and dads were not happy with this situation, some did not approve of the innovation, as in fact they became lawbreakers if they gave children permission to play. As a result, in 2014, the rules changed - now parents have the right to let their offspring continue to play until late at night. nine0003
5. Australia: It is illegal to intentionally disrupt a wedding

In Australia, if some onlooker watches the wedding, or a gay company is too close to the venue, the bride and groom can use law 7A. It states that any person who intentionally interferes or interferes with a wedding ceremony or funeral (whether secular or religious) is guilty of a crime and subject to a maximum penalty of $10,000 in fines or two years in prison. Blimey! By the way, guests should also be careful. If they make too much noise, they can also be punished. nine0003
6. India: you must report the money found to the police

If a person in India finds money worth more than 10 rupees (0.15 euros) on the road, he must immediately transfer it to the appropriate authorities. It is believed that the police will rush to look for the unfortunate confusion, that is, the owner of the bills. In this case, the finder must provide a written notification as soon as possible, where the place of discovery, date and amount should be indicated. It is doubtful that everyone follows these rules. nine0003
7. Spain: don't go shirtless in downtown Mallorca

Not all strange laws come from a bygone era. More recently, in May 2014, it was announced in Spain that tourists without shirts would be fined on the island of Mallorca. The amount that will have to be paid in case of violation is quite large and amounts to 600 euros. This is a kind of protest against the spread of beach parties throughout this beautiful resort.
By the way, ladies in bathing suits can also be punished. nine0003
8. England: it is forbidden to eat swans

In Britain, the queen is the sole owner of all swans, and only she is allowed to kill and eat these luxurious birds. This law was passed during the Middle Ages, when these birds were considered a delicacy and were served exclusively in rich houses. Although ancient in origin, this rule has practical purposes. Swans are a protected species protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act since 1981 years old. Anyone found guilty of killing them faces a fine of £5,000 or imprisonment for up to six months. We would like that.
9. France: no ketchup in school cafes
Ketchup is not in favor in France. /Photo: history.com
In 2011, Christopher Hebert, president of the national association of municipal catering managers, banned ketchup from school cafeterias in France.
Monsieur Hebert believes that ketchup is the epitome of Americanism. To preserve French culture, ketchup is only allowed to be consumed with french fries, and no more than once a week. Good law. At least, gastritis in schoolchildren will definitely not develop. nine0007
