Your daily weather update, inspiration and random facts

Good morning!

Here are a few random facts to start your morning off:

Pineapples were a sign of wealth in 18th-century England. They were so expensive that you could rent them by the night and take them to parties with you as a status symbol.
Curiosity is fueled by what you already know. You’re far more likely to be curious of the things you already know a little about than you are of something you know a lot about or know absolutely nothing about.
If you didn’t sleep well last night, you can convince yourself that you did just by believing you aren’t tired. It’s called ‘placebo sleep,’ it improves cognitive function, and it makes you perform better than when you spend the day thinking about being tired.
You can’t usually smell your own house (or perfume) because of a survival instinct called ‘olfactory adaptation.’ The brain is always looking for new, unusual, or changing smells as a sign of possible danger, so it ignores smells that have become familiar.
If you try not to “catch” someone’s yawn, the urge gets even stronger and you’ll probably just end up yawning anyhow.
