• 
  Europeans don't typically grocery shop for more than a day or two's worth of food. In Amsterdam, most grocery stores don't even have parking for cars because they're usually walking distance from where people live.
• In Canada, passenger trains have to yield to freight trains. This is due to the fact that our passenger rail companies don't own any track.
• Wendy's Baconator flavoured Pringle chips are a thing now, well because 'Merica!
• The claim that Covid-19 has a lower mortality rate than the flu was started as a meme on Facebook by self-proclaimed antivaxxers and has no basis in fact.
• Apple is producing a TV series based on Isaac Asimov's Foundation series.
• Sharks have existed on our planet longer than trees.
• Chinese Checkers was invented in Germany.
