!TIL that in the 1950's, donut shops were some of the first food businesses commonly open late at night. They became hot spots for police working the night shift since it gave them a place to grab a snack, fill out paper work, or even just take a break.

  Why Are You Still Washing Your Clothes In Warm Water?
  
  from io9

!TIL Early in life, each #dolphin creates its own unique vocal whistle that gives it an individual identity. Because each whistle is unique, dolphins are able to call to each other by mimicking the whistle of a dolphin they want to communicate with. It's the equivalent of calling each other by name. - https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-23410137 #ethology #biology
