Santa won’t admit it publicly, but he has favorite states—and a few he quietly complains about to the reindeer before every landing. Based on real data and Santa’s notes, here’s how the states rank on the big man's nice and naughty list.

Humans share almost every part of our anatomy with the rest of the animal kingdom—bones, muscles, organs, reflexes, even facial expressions. But there’s one tiny feature sitting right on our faces that only we have. And the strangest part? Evolution still hasn’t given us a clear answer for why they exist.

Putting all those data points together, this is the ranking of all 50 states...

A new debate is erupting in science circles and beyond.

There’s nothing quite like sitting at the gate, feeling that pre-flight optimism…only to hear the dreaded announcement: “This flight is canceled.” You barely have time to blink before your phone lights up with a rebooking for tomorrow. But what happens tonight—does the airline owe you a hotel?

Humans share a surprising amount of anatomy with the rest of the animal kingdom. We’ve got the same bones, joints, muscles, and basic internal plumbing. But there’s one tiny, everyday feature that no other species has—not even our evolutionary ancestors—and scientists still shrug when asked why it even exists. Meet the chin: evolution’s biggest unsolved facial mystery.
