As novels became more prominent during the 1700s, society and the media grew increasingly concerned that young people spent too much time reading books. They even went so far as to call it ‘reading rage,’ ‘reading fever,’ ‘reading mania,’ and 'reading lust.’ Source Source 2 Source 3
Nikola Tesla once said of Thomas Edison: “He had no hobby, cared for no sort of amusement of any kind, and lived in utter disregard of the most elementary rules of hygiene. His method was inefficient in the extreme…he had a veritable contempt for book learning and mathematical knowledge, trusting himself entirely to his inventor’s instinct and practical American sense.” Source Source 2
Monsieur Acorn is a happy, mustachioed dog toy that still has some life left after it’s been torn apart. Once your dog has murdered the acorn on the outside, a sad little nut pops out from the inside. Source Source 2
Alice Lee Roosevelt Longworth, daughter of Theodore Roosevelt, was known for smoking in public, swearing at officials, riding in cars with men, late-night partying, and owning a pet snake during an era where women were expected to conform. When an offended dignitary asked the president if he could control his daughter, he replied, “I can do one of two things. I can be President of the United States or I can control Alice. I cannot possibly do both.” Source Source 2
The desire to lay in bed all day is called clinomania. Source Source 2

Whitetip reef sharks sleep in cuddly piles, just like kittens or puppies. Although sharks don’t enter a fully- unconscious state of sleep like mammals do, they like to snuggle while switching between states of wakefulness and restfulness. Source Source 2
‘Share tables’ help keep kids from going hungry and reduce food waste in schools across the US. When schools set up share tables in their lunchrooms, anyone can leave their unopened food and drinks on the table instead of throwing them away, other kids can stop by and take whatever they’d like, and the leftovers are usually donated to food banks or used in after-school programs.

It’s almost impossible to change someone’s mind using facts. This happens due to ‘motivated reasoning,’ a psychology term that refers to the way people usually believe whatever they want to believe and use the flimsiest piece of evidence to justify that belief, even when there is plenty of verified evidence to disprove it.

Watermelons used to taste awful. The fruits, which are technically berries, originated in Africa, where they were only harvested for their water content. At that time, they had a nasty, bitter flavor, but centuries of selective breeding made them extra tasty. Source
In 1930, a patent was issued to Helene Shelby for a giant, glowing-eyed skeleton that was designed to make criminals confess. The idea was for police to scare suspects into telling all by sitting them in a dark room, raising a curtain to reveal the device, and questioning them through a megaphone in the skeleton’s skull - which contained a camera to record their statements for use in court.

‘Devil’s advocate’ was a real job until 1983. Any time the Catholic church wanted to canonize a saint, an official acted as the devil’s advocate by questioning the candidate’s saintliness and arguing against their supposed miracles. If the potential saint could hold up to the intense criticism, the church knew they officially deserved the title. Source Source 2
Cats imitate baby humans whenever they want you to feed them. Hungry cats emit a vocalized, high-frequency purr that’s in the same acoustic range as the cries of a hungry infant, and humans subconsciously recognize it as being more urgent than other purrs. Source Source 2
Wearing a tiny portrait of your lover’s eye on your jewelry was a secretive romantic gesture in the 18th and 19th centuries. When the Prince of Wales fell in love with a catholic widow and proposed by sending her a locket with a painting of his eye inside, it wasn’t long before it became a popular trend to wear ‘Lover’s Eye’ jewelry on your wrist or near your heart to symbolize the love you have for another.

‘Kaizen’ is the method of continuous improvement Toyota uses in its manufacturing plants where any worker can stop the production line at any time to suggest improvements or correct errors. People often mistake 'kaizen’ to be some ancient Japanese philosophy, but it’s really just a Japanese word meaning 'improvement’ that was nothing special until Toyota adopted it as a method.

The ancient Greeks may have built their temples over fault lines on purpose. Historians think they saw the frequent earthquakes as messages from the gods and the hot springs as channels to the underworld. The vapors from the hot springs probably had hallucinogenic properties, which explains why temple priestesses thought the crazy visions that formed their prophecies were sent to them directly from the gods.

The idea proposed is that height isn’t the reason for higher pay, but instead it indicates better nutrition in childhood, which is known to contribute to cognitive development.
