TIL (US-Style) Biscuits are generally of a better quality in the South because they require soft-wheat, which is grown and sold in the South almost exclusively. Soft wheat is better for biscuits but worse for bread - the opposite is true for the hard wheat of the North and West of the US.

TIL the common fitness target of 10,000 steps/day came from a Japanese pedometer company who gave their product a name that means "the 10,000-step meter” because the Japanese character for “10,000” resembles a person walking: 万. There is no known science behind a goal of 10,000 steps

TIL that dogs evolved the specific muscles that give them the ability to raise their inner eyebrows more than 33,000 years ago; as they became domesticated. It's an evolutionary trick used to manipulate humans.
